St. Nicholas Center Shop
From Our Collection — Figures
As we are transitioning to Virginia Theological Seminary we're offering some St. Nicholas items. These are duplicates or pieces that won't have a home at VTS, though some are dear to my heart.
These are hard to find items. Quantities are limited; most are just a single one available. Do check back from time to time to see what's here. If you'd like to be notified when new things are listed, email us.
The new listings are spoken for very quickly—my apologies if you're not able to see them or are disappointed. Others will be posted from time to time. There will be MANY more coming!

DISPLAY FIGURE
Just ONE!
From Europe
I had him for years before I figured out how to put him together. He had a crozier before I got him, but you can see where it would have been attached. It would be easy to make him a crozier out of posterboard. He's put together with small plastic grommets and there's an extra one for attaching a crozier. The holes are already there. I fixed him so he's easier to do, with plastic snaps. He's been living in my office and I'll miss him!
Plastic, 16 1/2 x 27 inches
$25.00 + s&h if these large figures cost more to ship, I'll ask for an adjustment, if necessary
