Hello, this blog covers smaller, sometimes simpler, animatronics (I don't know if there's a proper term for them, but I usually see them called "animated figurines", Gemmy's stuff comes to mind) as well, yes? If so, is there any info/videos/pics about the Noel holiday figures? Like at least what company made them? They have the big chunky bases with "Noel" on a small gold-ish mantle on the front. I only found some ebay listings and a few old YT vids. My mom has two of them, a Santa with a sack of presents, and a blonde girl in a dark old-fashioned winter coat with a candle (I think, it's been years since my mom took them out of storage.) There's apparently a whole bunch of different kids with candles i seen on ebay, I haven't found a match of the girl yet tho, but I did find at least find one video of the Santa. The only other info I have of them is that I think they were made in the 90s? I could be wrong.

I LOVE Gemmy/animated items! We haven't covered a ton, but I'd really love to showcase some of my favorites someday.

The ones you're talking about are by Holiday Creations during the 90s, and those types of animatronics are typically referred to as "motionettes". There's all kinds of them! My family had an angel motionette, but I'm unsure of what company made them.

After learning about the existence of these vintage Telco Motion-ettes earlier this year, I was able to snag one for $92 (including shipping) from eBay this month! He's missing the white mask in his left hand, so I gave him a little violin to hold. Maybe I'll make a replacement mask for him to hold in the future 🎭

Aahhh, I'm just so happy I was able to get one without breaking the bank! 🎉 (For clarification, it doesn't play any music, but it does make a little whirring noise 😊)

Here are a few of my favorite motionettes.

The first one is the Telco clown party figure. His nose glows and he plays happy birthday music.

The next two are Easter themed Telco small fry motionettes. They don’t play music or anything but they’re super cute!

Elfs(?) that seasonally appear at my local shopping centre, Their heads and arms have simple, back n forth movements. I have a hunch they may be locally made but I may be wrong. (Douglas, IOM)

Awww! What sweet little motionettes! <3 They certainly appear unique! I wouldn’t doubt if they’re made locally. They don’t look like most elf motionettes I’ve seen for sale!
