Lighted Spinning Water Globe Toy Soldier (Gold Base)

This toy soldier is dressed for the royal ball. He's sculpted like a classic nutcracker, with a tall plumed hat, a regal beard and a carefully detailed uniform, and his whole body is a water globe full of swirling glitter. Switch him on and color-changing lights glow up through him while the glitter spins around. His polished gold base, engraved with a diamond pattern, gives him a warm, candlelit glow that looks right at home next to brass candlesticks and red velvet bows. The 6-hour timer takes care of turning him off at night.

Gold has long been the color of the Christmas nutcracker's glory days. In the late 1800s, German makers painted their soldiers with gilded buttons and braid to look like the king's own guard, and families handed them down from generation to generation. In Germany, legend has it that a nutcracker in the house brings good luck and guards the family from harm. He looks like he takes the job very seriously.
