MATTEL ~ Coca-Cola
SANTA CLAUS DOLL
Classic Edition
Volume 1
1999
Santa Doll was inspired by a painting by Haddon Sundblom,
the renowned illustrator who painted for The Coca-Cola Company's
holiday ads beginning in 1931 and for thirty years thereafter
His concept of Santa Claus robust and round, aglow with warmth
and kindness, and lavishly dressed in brilliant red and white fur
would soon become one of the most enduring images of all time
Inspired by the 1948 "Hospitality" painting, this uniquely designed
COCA-COLA Santa Doll pauses to enjoy a refreshing glass of
COCA-COLA , which he holds in his hand
He is wearing a Coke Red velvety suit trimmed with white faux fur,
and brown, suede-like gloves, belt and boots.
As in the original painting, a sprig of holly and berries decorate
his red velvety hat trimmed in faux fur.
He carries a suede-like bag with a big red strap which is decorated
with little bells.
The bag contains adorable toys for good little girls and boys
Includes doll stand for display
Approximately 12 inches tall.
