A Villainous Anniversary Ornament

Hallmark released a couple of ornaments to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Incredibles. One of those was a limited edition piece of Syndrome, the villain of the film. While I was tempted to get him earlier, I didn’t break down and buy him until the after Christmas sales. 

Any fan of the movies will recognize him right away. He’s dressed in his super villain outfit from the end of the movie. His outfit is mostly black with silver gloves and boots and a giant silver “S” on the front. His red hair is shooting off the top of his head like flames. And his blue cape is behind him. 

My hesitation to buy the ornament had nothing to do with whether I liked him or not. I’m not the biggest Disney/Pixar villain collector, but I do have a nice collection of the villains ornaments going. No, it was only a space issue. I really need to clean out my condo of some of my collections. But on sale, I couldn’t resist. 

Any fans of the movie that didn’t get this ornament will want to give it a second look as well. He looks just like you’d expect him to look, and it’s a great piece to have if you are a fan of the movie. 

Since Syndrome is standing on his feet, you might be tempted to set him out to be displayed.  But his feet are so small my guess is he will tip over just about any time anyone walks by him, so I don’t recommend it.

If your plan is to hang him on your tree, you’ll be delighted to learn that he hangs straight. 

Syndrome was a fun villain in The Incredibles, so it was nice to see Hallmark add him to their ornament line. If you are a fan, you’ll be glad to have him in your collection.
