Stars: 5 out of 5
Pros: Creativity for an indoor scene
Cons: Very significant tip forward.
The Bottom Line:
This baking snowman
Brings the Snowtop Lodge series
A fun indoor scene
A Baker Joins the Snowtop Lodge Family
With all the outdoor activities that the Snowtop Lodge
family of snowpeople have been highlighting so far, I’m sure they get quite
hungry. That’s why it is a good thing
that the tenth in the series features a baker.
Otis J. Muffinstuff is there to whip up the tasty treats his fellow
snowpeople will need to replenish their energy for the next day.
Otis is also the first ornament in the series not to feature
a scarf or other form of outdoor apparel.
Instead, he is wearing a white chef’s hat on the top of his head and a
very short white apron around his middle.
That apron is short enough to allow us to see a scene painted on his
bottom snowball. In keeping with this
theme, we get to view a bakery with people inside picking out treats from the
display cases inside. His buttons are
small cookies. And he’s whipping up some
treat. He’s got a mixing bowl in one
hand, and a wooden spoon with a bit of the batter on it in the other.
And he is delightful.
With all the outdoor scenes and activities we’ve had so far, it’s nice
to see something representing indoor winter fun and traditions
represented. So we don’t normally think
of snowmen as indoor things, but that’s a minor point. The scene looks like fun, and Otis is likely
to make you hungry. Either that, or I
think about sweets way too much.
You’ll find the 10 in a Christmas tree series marker on
Otis’s flat bottom. And since his bottom
is flat, you can set it out to display year round.
Or you can hang him on your tree. The loop is actually on the back of his head since
his chef’s hat is made from material and isn’t strong enough to support the
weight of the ornament. As a result, he
really tips forward, must so than any of his fellow snowpeople do in this
series to date. It’s noticeable enough
to be a problem, but not a fatal flaw.
It is nice to see this series taking a break from the
outdoor activities. The variety keeps
things fresh after ten entries. So if
you are looking for a fun snowman, check out Otis J. Muffinstuff.
Here are the rest of the snowpeople in the Snowtop Lodge series.
