I thought I would post an update on this neat little model/ornament. I really never had any intention of using it as an ornament, but did want it for my desk. I thought the ornament hanger loop on the seat was a distraction to the look as a desk model, so I decided to see if it could be removed. It can be removed by carefully unscrewing, as it is a tiny screw eye. I found that the threaded shank of that tiny screw eye is only between 1/32 an 1/16" long. Not badmouthing the model, because I really like it, but given the shank is only screwed into the thickness of the black plastic seat with a short tiny thread, I think it likely that it will fail to hold the model as an ornament on a Christmas tree at some point. With the screw eye removed, the tiny hole in the black plastic seat is not noticeable at all.
Hallmark ornaments are now 75% off at Hallmark stores, so if you can find it still in stock, it will now be about $4.50 plus tax.
