Scrat from Ice Age toy to herald in our winter

The latest items I bought from an online auction were some Scrat character toys from the popular animated movie Ice Age.

He is desperately clutching his acorn while at the same time looking desperately worried as he seeks a safe place to desperately hide his prize. Well, yes, Scrat is a desperate character, as we all know! I immediately gave one of these Scrat toys to my nephew for his second birthday and he was very happy indeed with his new toy. At 30cm it is much larger than it appears in this photo. I do hope you appreciate the trouble I went to in order to find a suitable background to show him off appropriately!
