Time for a small demo... along with some comments from our model.  Santa Ricky is part of the Mattel I Love Lucy Series.  I originally bought him just for the suit, but was please to find that he is articulated in arms and knees.

 

 

Not sure I like his sideway looking eyes, but we can make it work fo us. Beard and wig is all one piece with a plastic piece on the mouth area with attached one to around the back of the head.  Easy and easy off.

   

 

The best part for me was the fat suit!!!  It attaches with velcro in the back and is removable, of course.  So cool.

 

 

The coat fastens with two snaps as shown.  It was also sewn together when it was received in the original packaging. 

 

The boots are the normal fabric sewn boots.  They are made from shiny fabric with the fur sewn and glued on. 

Note to mention my handy dandy home made Santa Sack.

 

Here is the articulation.  And, yes, I made the reindeer bedspread, also.

 

 

ha ha, and in case you were wondering..... Santa wears briefs (not original to the doll, these were hand made

by Edna for me long time ago).  Is there no privacy for Santa??
