Show and Tell > Talking Santa Claus (Kurt Adler)

As you may recall, last year I posted that I was on the lookout for a Kurt Adler Santa Claus decorations from the 1990s. The reason I wanted it was that it was basically an action figure (you can read a review of it here). Since that day last December, I had a saved search [...]
