Why the #396 Large Version?

While smaller versions of this design exist, the #396 is the preferred choice for holiday centerpieces. Its larger footprint allows for finer sculptural details—you can almost feel the texture of the sled's wood grain and the thickness of the winter coat. Originally modeled by master sculptor Gerhard Skrobek in 1971, it remains one of the most sought-after Christmas figurines for serious collectors.

Complete Your Winter Wonderland: This piece pairs perfectly with our It's Cold #421 Special Edition. Display them together to create a heartwarming scene of children braving the winter weather!

PLEASE NOTE: We have the Hummelscape Winter Rides available as well which matches this Ride Into Christmas figurine!
