Kim, I've seen Home Alone multiple times but until your post about your lovely Nativity, I never knew of the other sizes larger than 12" until I went to the Fontanini website. Oh, what work they do. Gorgeous artwork. I love the old and new figures!!! Then I saw those lovely 70" and was just blown away. Wow!!! I would love to see a Nativity of those in person! I wonder if the Disney set was used for Home Alone or they just purchased a set for the movie and then the director or somebody got it! That's lot of $$$.
I did see all of the pictures!!! That was so darling to see him placing the Baby Jesus. My Danny used to like to do that when he was small. Such memories.
I usually display my Nativity under the tree the last week before Christmas and until then, on a table, coffee table, the hutch or the ledge between the kitchen and the den. My Ebay older Fontanini donkey came yesterday! I am pining for a set of the older, brownish Magi mounted on their walking camels!!! A tad pricey! I've looked for them in summer on Ebay 2 or 3 times but the Magi sets usually aren't sold summers that I have looked. I guess those savvy sellers know they can get more if they just wait to sell closer to Christmas. Those 12" figures are perfectly lovely but are large and I imagine a set with Magi and shepherds, angels, a piper or tradesman included with some animals would take up a big chunk of space. You might just set up a special table in the center of the living room for a set as special as that!!! It would warrant it!
