Pipka Santas Arctic Santa & Friends Collectible Figure

This item is identified as a Pipka Santas collectible figure from the 'Arctic Santa & Friends' series, part of the 'Reflections of Christmas' collection. The piece is numbered 2190 out of a limited edition of 9700, indicating its exclusivity and collectible nature. It features a predominantly white base, suggesting it is made from ceramic, porcelain, or a similar composite material, common for decorative figures. The bottom surface of the item displays official markings in black text, providing essential manufacturing and copyright information. These markings include 'Pinka Santas' as the brand, 'Arctic Santa & Friends' as the specific series title, and 'Reflections of Christmas' as the broader collection. A unique product number, '11399', is also present. The copyright dates '©2010 Pipka' and '©2012 PMI' suggest that the design was copyrighted in 2010 by Pipka, and the item was manufactured or updated by PMI in 2012. The country of origin is explicitly stated as 'Made in China'. The base of the figure features at least three visible black circular pads (one partially visible at the bottom right, and two at the top), likely felt or rubber bumpers to protect surfaces from scratches and provide stability. While the full figure is not visible, the presence of such detailed base information points to a well-produced, high-quality decorative collectible. The color scheme of the base is a clean, classic white, which would complement various holiday decor styles. The style period is contemporary, given the 2010/2012 dates. No significant wear or damage is discernible on the visible portion of the item's base, suggesting it is in good condition.
