santa blow mold

Most blow-mold Santas are battery-operated and light up; several listings specify battery operation (for example, 3 × AA). At least one glass night-light in the set is listed as using no battery.

These tree toppers use blow-mold construction with a universal open-bottom design that fits most tree tops and makes attachment easy.

The listings show battery requirements such as 2 AA alkaline, 3 AA alkaline, and 3 AA lithium. Typical counts in these items are 2 or 3 AA batteries.

Most blow-mold style figures are plastic. One collectible night-light figurine in the set is glass, described as mouth-blown and hand-painted.

Many listings are labeled for indoor use, and some explicitly state they’re suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Collectible glass night-light pieces are mouth-blown, hand-painted, and trimmed with glitter accents. Plastic blow-mold figures feature colored molded or painted details such as hats, scarves, and other festive accents.

Tree toppers in the set are about 12 inches tall, while other blow-mold tabletop and yard figures are larger, generally in the mid-teens up to about 23.25 inches.

The glass night-light Santas are mouth-blown—molten glass is blown into finely carved molds—then hand-painted and finished with trimmed glitter accents.
