Our verdict

A centerpiece-sized pick for a ballet or dance-themed display, with enough added texture to stand out from a flat-painted figure.

Overview

At 15 inches, this Hollywood Nutcracker from Kurt Adler trades the usual soldier look for a ballet dancer finished in pale pink with purple and white accents, model HA0234. Gems and feathers are added on top of the paint for a textured, decorative finish.

It shares its designer and collection with the smaller Sea Turtle piece but goes larger, at 15 inches, and swaps the ocean theme for ballet. The pastel palette sets it apart from the red-and-green pieces typical of a holiday nutcracker shelf, and the applied gems and feathers give it more surface texture than a flat-painted figure.

  • 15 inches tall
  • Ballet theme in pink, purple and white
  • Gem and feather accents
  • Part of the Hollywood Nutcrackers collection

Who it's for

Good for gifting to a dancer or for anyone wanting a pastel-toned holiday piece instead of the usual red and green. Not for buyers who prefer a rustic wood-toned or classic soldier nutcracker.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • 15-inch size gives it presence as a centerpiece
  • Gem and feather accents add texture beyond paint
  • Pastel palette works outside a red-and-green Christmas scheme
Cons
  • Applied gems and feathers are more fragile in storage
  • Niche ballet theme, not a classic soldier nutcracker

Performance notes

The gems and feathers are applied on top of the painted finish rather than molded in, which adds texture a flat-painted piece would not have, though it also means that detail can snag or loosen if the piece is packed tightly with other decor between seasons.
