Tom Browning Bearly Christmas Santa Classics Figurine 44504 Retired Rare 2005

Tom Browning “Bearly Christmas" Santa Classics Figurine from 2005. Retired and extremely rare. Approximately 8” tall. Comes in original box. This figurine is in beautiful condition. No chips, cracks, or damage. The intricacy of this figurine is extraordinary. Meticulously hand-painted and crafted in polyresin. Every detail is breathtaking. The only imperfection is there is red marker writing on the bottom (see picture). However this is on the bottom only, and is invisible during table display. There is also “2010” written in red marker on the front of the box; this is not the date of creation, it is just a date written by a previous owner. Box shows minor wear however it is completely intact. No packaging inside box (no styrofoam protection), however protection has been be added.
Tom Browning’s line of beautiful Santa Classics figurines are based on his wonderful paintings. This line of Santas retired in 2006. Since there is no more production of these pieces they are very rare.
