Please check out all photos, watch the video. and description and ask all questions before purchase. All sales final.

I am fully aware of what it takes to restore a vintage animated figure and I am aware of the condition and flaws of this figure, so pointing this out to me is not necessary and won’t reduce the cost.

Now for the description;

I am selling on behalf of the owner a rare animated mechanical Christmas display figure Santa Claus that’s 5 1/2 feet tall.

This Santa was made in the mid 1980’s by a company in California that was owned by a former Disney employee. We do not know the name unfortunately of the manufacturer. This Santa is controlled by a small computer in his wood base. He has one motor to move him side to side and raise his right arm up and down, another small motor/solenoid waves his hand and is time delayed. The head also has 2 solenoids, one to blink his eyes, the other to move his mouth.

The audio is controlled by a small vintage cassette player also in his base. He comes with a cassette of The Night Before Christmas, but you can easily change that to whatever message you want.

There is also a microphone that you can use to override the cassette player and talk direct through him. There is a small speaker in his chest, so all you have to do is plug him in. You also don’t have to use the cassette player if you want him to move. He can move constantly and his motors are very quiet.

His issues are: the face has several tiny cracks that age his face, small areas of wear to his outfit as to be expected of a figure near 40 years old. Sometimes when you start the audio, you have to click the microphone on then off to get his mouth to move, but then after it is fine. It may get better the more he is used. No other issues we can see.

The motors, cassette player, and other components are all vintage and not guaranteed. He is working well, and sold as shown.

Everything sold as shown with no guarantee or warranty. Due to its size the Santa Claus is for local pickup only. We can store this for awhile to let you arrange to pick it up. A shipper through UShip is a good option if you need this picked up.

Payment is due within 1 day of purchase or item will be relisted and a non pay alert will be sent to. I have not see another one like this for sale. All sales final so please email me all questions before purchase and since I am not the owner, it may take a bit to get you an answer to a specific question. Thanks
