Meet the scary nutcracker
This scary nutcracker channels classic soldier styling with a dramatic twist. The glossy black top hat crowned with a gold crest, curled white hair, and bold eyes frame a stylised skull face that’s equal parts elegant and eerie. Rich emerald tones, baroque gold scrollwork and epaulettes add luxe detail, while the tall, upright pose makes it an unmistakable focal point. Crafted in fibreglass for a crisp sculpt and smooth, photo-ready finish.
