Collectible Nutcracker Figurines

Collectible nutcracker figurines are display-quality soldiers and character nutcrackers in wood, resin, and mixed media — from classic Bavarian soldiers to Hollywood-inspired character designs, including German-made Steinbach and Christian Ulbricht.

Collectible nutcracker figurines are display-quality wooden soldiers and character designs for shelves, mantels, and tabletops — not to be confused with nutcracker ornaments that hang on the tree. Our collection includes traditional Bavarian soldiers in classic red, gold, and green, German-made nutcrackers from Steinbach and Christian Ulbricht, Hollywood-inspired character designs from Kurt Adler, and whimsical themed nutcrackers (chef, fisherman, golfer, and more). Sizes range from tabletop minis to full-size 15-inch display pieces. For nutcracker ballet ornaments (Clara, Sugar Plum Fairy), see our nutcracker ornament page. Browse all Christmas collectibles.

What sizes do nutcracker figurines come in?

From tabletop mini (5-6 inches) to full-size display pieces (15 inches and taller). Most popular sizes are 10 to 14 inches.

Are your nutcrackers real working nutcrackers?

Most are decorative display pieces. Some traditional German-made nutcrackers have a functional jaw mechanism, but they're primarily collected for display.

What's the difference between a nutcracker figurine and a nutcracker ornament?

Figurines are freestanding display pieces for shelves and mantels. Ornaments are smaller and designed to hang on a tree.

Do you carry German-made nutcrackers?

Yes — we carry Steinbach and Christian Ulbricht handcrafted German nutcrackers, considered the gold standard for collectors.

What are Hollywood nutcrackers?

Hollywood nutcrackers are Kurt Adler's line of character and theme nutcrackers — whimsical designs like chefs, fishermen, golfers, and holiday characters.
