Sorry, Bob!

 

Somehow I have the feeling that even if Scrooge & Marley had promotional mugs like this, Bob C wouldn't get one! 

No hot beverage to warm him up!

He's Here!

 

Just got mine in the mail today!

Let the festivities begin!

Put Out That Fire!

Here's Scrooge as a candle snuffer:

He really looks like he'll yell at you if you don't snuff that candle soon!

Grueling!

Here’s another Toby jug in the shape of our friend:

A rare gruel pose!

What Would TT Think?

I wonder what TT Cratchit would think of this:

Would he think he was being visited by ghosts?

Peppery!

More salt and pepper, this time featuring Mr. & Mrs. Fezziwg:

At least I think this says Mrs. Fezziwig:

Looks good!

Salty!

These are fun:

Scrooge and the kid with the turkey, I guess!

Wee!

Here's a fun Scrooge figurine from the Wee Forest series:

And Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim:

Very cute!

Totally Rad!

Here's a snazzy ornament from Christopher Radko:

No surprise that it goes for big bucks on the secondary market!

Have a Cup!

You see a ton of Scrooge mugs, some more interesting than others, such as this one:

I like that it lists the characters!

Kind of Creepy!

Here's another jug with another take on how the handle should be, well, handled:

Creepy! What's TT whispering into Scrooge's ear?

Highly Flammable!

Here's an interesting Toby jug:

I know these things have to have a handle, but doesn't it look like Scrooge will light his nightcap on fire?

Oh! You Beautiful Doll!

So, the long-running Annalee Dolls company has a number of dolls inspired by characters from “A Christmas Carol.” That is not surprising in itself, as there are tons of such collectibles.

What’s fascinating to me, though, is that one of said dolls depicts the underrated Martha Cratchit:

And she’s carrying the pudding!

Even more fascinating is that Martha also made the cut for the mouse series:

That's so fun! But even more fascinating is this other Annalee doll of Mouse Martha, this time playing the piano:

With the little Cratchit sister!

I'm officially fascinated!

Thumbs Up!

Here's a fun collectible:

It's a thimble from Staffordshire!

If you trust pre-reformed Scrooge to protect your fingers!

Pricey!

I like this guy from Super7:

He's 16 inches tall and has a real fabric nightshirt!

But you're lucky if you can score one for under $300!

Uncle Scrooge would never spend that kind of dough!

PVC!

Not Sure when these little PVC figures inspired by "Mickey's Christmas Carol" are from...

...but they're pretty fun!

On Model!

Enesco was back with another Scrooge Jack-in-the-Box, but this time it was Scrooge McDuck from "Mickey's Christmas Carol":

Now we're talking!

They also issued Mickey Mouse as Bob Cratchit:

Very fun!

Double Back!

The Enesco Jack-in-the Box representation of Ebenezer Scrooge seemed a bit off-model, but this one from Department 56 seems even weirder:

I get such a weird vibe from that!

Department 56 also issued one featuring Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, which I think is much more successful:

Tiny Tim also got a solo box:

I like him better with Bob, though!

Back in the Box!

Here's one from the Collectibles Corner: an Ebenezer Scrooge Jack-in-the-Box from Enesco:

Is it me, though, or does this look more like if there had been a Mrs. Scrooge?

Especially on the box!

Nuts!

Many's the time I think it would be cool to have a Scrooge nutcracker, such as this one from the Steinbach company:

Pretty neat with the little Marley's  ghost and all!

Then I'm always reminded that they go for large dollar amounts!

I may have to settle for a little guy like this:

But when one pops up for sale at a reasonable price, it goes fast!

Someday...
