ENESCO T: +44 (0)1228 404 022 E: uksales@enesco.co.uk www.enesco.co.uk Since he burst onto screens in the 2003 movie Elf, singing loudly for all to hear as the best way to spread Christmas cheer, Buddy the Elf has become synonymous with the wideeyed wonder, innocent joy and sheer magic of the festive season. Now, for the first time ever in a brand new collaboration in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, world-renowned and multi-award winning American artist – Jim Shore – is capturing the spirit of Christmas through his brand-new Elf by Jim Shore collection. Inspired by Buddy Hobbs (otherwise known as Buddy the Elf), an orphaned baby who crawled into the back of Father Christmas’ sleigh on Christmas Eve, accidentally returning with Santa to the North Pole, where he was raised by the elves, the new Elf by Jim Shore collection features Buddy and some of his favourite friends from across the film, in a charming and wonderfully whimsical range of standing figurines and hanging ornaments. The hero piece of the collection is sure to be The Name is Buddy, the Elf. Standing at 22.0cm tall, this fabulously festive figurine recreates the artwork of the film’s original theatrical release poster, with individual letters spelling out the word ‘e-l-f’. However, the letter ‘L’ is replaced by Buddy’s form, seeing the human-sized elf standing tall in his iconic green outfit, complete with yellow tights and a red feather in his cap. Of course, while The Name is Buddy, the Elf is instantly recognisable as being inspired by the movie’s poster, it’s also clear that this piece has been lovingly recreated with all the hallmarks of a Jim Shore piece. Inspired by American folk art, all pieces across the Elf by Jim Shore collection features intricate motifs and pattern detailing, helping to bring to life much-loved characters from Elf in a way your customers have never seen before. Retailing with a SRP of £59.95, The Name is Buddy, the Elf makes a wonderful self-purchase for fans of the festive season to use as lovely home décor during the festive season, or a thoughtful gift for fans of the film and collectors of Jim Shore too. Timeless in its appeal in capturing the nostalgia of Christmas, all items in the Elf by Jim Shore collection are sure to be loved this Christmastime and for many years to come, creating new family traditions of unwrapping Buddy and his friends when it comes to decking the halls, passing down the pieces as family heirlooms across the generations.
