Elf Collection | Pristine Condition | Designed by Robert Simpich
Thunker has got it. Don't help him. He's got it.
The tongue poking out the corner of his mouth says this log is precisely as heavy as an elf can carry, and the look in his eyes says he's carrying it the whole way home anyway. To you and me it's a twig. Chopped and split down at his scale, it's a full night's roaring fire in the hearth — and the night ahead is a crisp one, so the effort is worth it.
He's bundled for the errand in a teal coat, black mittens, and a great tartan scarf in red and purple wound twice around his neck with both ends flying. White curls, big ears, no hat — a fellow this warm-blooded from the work doesn't need one.
Thunker is one of the earliest and most classic elf designs. And that early date is exactly why he's hard to find like this: the older the elf, the more years of sun, dust, and handling it has survived. Most Thunkers wear those decades. This one doesn't.
Cast, hand-painted, and dressed in hand-sewn clothing in the Simpich doll shop.
