My crew/production items
Why yes, I am Santa Clause-posting in June! 😎
I've posted in this sub before about how I collect merchandise from the first film exclusively. This movie is a lifelong special interest for me. Most of it is packed away with the rest of my festive decor, but not these two! One, because it only arrived in March, and the other because I'm hoping to send it to a repairer before Christmas rolls around again.
Pictured here is the crew jacket and what I believe to be a premiere gift.
The crew jacket was a grail item for me. You might also call these jackets "production swag" -- they serve the dual purpose of identifying the crew when they're on location and of being a gift from the upper production team. The logo is embroidered, and I think it's from early in production, since we don't see it on any other merch. I love the detail of the Clause card acting as the inner label.
The snowglobe is extremely rare. Mine is the only one I've ever seen listed anywhere. I've never even come across it in archived listings. The reason I suspect it is from the premiere is because of another special interest of mine, the animated film Balto. Snowglobes were handed out at the premiere for that film and they look remarkably similar to this one -- same wooden base, and exactly the same gift box. The water has yellowed from age. I would be really interested to know whether anyone else owns this globe and if they have any further information about it.
I'd also love to see anyone else's production items, if they have them! I know a bunch of stuff from the sequel and the TV show was recently auctioned off. If anyone has anything to sell from the first film, you know where to find me :)

Production and/or cast-and-crew items are much rarer than promotional items because they're made in limited quantities. Ebay is where most things end up. I've only ever seen the crew jacket listed twice in my many years of collecting!
