Possible Dreams 'Clothtique' Beach Santa Figurine

This is a mixed-media holiday figurine featuring Santa Claus in a 'Summer' or 'Vacation' theme. The item stands approximately 10 to 12 inches tall and is constructed using the Clothtique method, which involves stiffened fabric for the clothing to provide a realistic, permanent draped look. Santa is dressed in a vibrant red floral-print Hawaiian shirt with tropical leaf patterns, paired with blue fabric swim trunks and red plastic flip-flops. He wears a classic red velvet Santa hat with white faux-fur trim and a holly berry accent. A large, yellow molded plastic inner tube is positioned around his waist, and he carries a small blue plastic bucket with a yellow handle containing a corn-on-the-cob accessory. The face and hands appear to be made of hand-painted resin or porcelain with a textured white beard. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mass-produced collectibles such as those by Department 56 or Enesco, likely dating from the late 1990s to the 2010s. Condition appears fair to good with some minor dust accumulation on the fabric and beard; it remains in its original retail display state at a thrift store with tags attached to the arm. No significant damage such as paint chipping or fabric fraying is immediately visible.
