I read the review and chat with the wlitle window they told me it was the same it's not.... the chimney it's not white it's brown mdf the santa its smaller and the quality ...... hummmm not good. Penguin has very good stufff this is not one of the good ones....

It idea is fine and all. The instructions are printed on a dot matrix printer so I expect old school quality, but nope, poorly produced as follows:

* First it does not come with the devils hank to do it as described.

* Second the background on the chimney is no longer white, it's raw mdf board. Nothing like some formaldehyde carcinogens around kiddies at christmas. They saved on some white paint and have no black on the chimney now - I'm assuming to save a few cents.

* Thirdly, the screen printing on the blocks was poor. Blocks are black, not white as pictured and the white and red screen printing missed bits so the second santa's h**d does not match the first. 3 of the 4 blocks were poorly printed and will need manual touching up before use.

* Fourth, the black base is not included any more.

Just be aware it's not as pictured and you may need to touch up poor screen printing work. Has a made in India quality to it.

This is the perfeect addition to any holiday show. The method is fairly simple to pick up. The prop is well made and colorful. Children love this effect.
