“40640 Nutcracker offers a similar build to 2017’s 40254 Nutcracker, complete with a rebuildable face and hair and functional mouth. Exactly how good it will be at cracking nuts has yet to be seen. Perfect for hanging from the tree, the customizable 40642 Gingerbread... More Ornaments include everything you need to decorate your own gingerbread character before hanging them around your home”

“As a little holiday LEGO set, 40640 Nutcracker is perfect for building with a nice mug of hot chocolate. Just don’t mix hazelnuts with ABS plastic – this nutcracker is for display purposes only! A very sweet version of a nutcracker that is much more charming than previous... More iterations.”
