Department 56 X Marks the Spot

4.5

Best narrative accent for collectors building a themed pirate village display.

This charming pirate duo injects a much-needed sense of narrative play into any village display. While it is specifically designed to anchor The Kraken House, its whimsical detail stands well on its own for collectors who prefer their Halloween scenes to tell a story rather than just look spooky.
