Hello to all. I'd like to begin this post with an apology regarding the lack of posts over the last week. Not only was work murder, but I've also been dealing with a nasty cold. Thankfully, I've overcome all of that, and just in time to celebrate the holidays.
Last year, I showed off Hallmark's impressive line of Hanna-Barbera ornaments. Now, I return to show off Enesco's offerings from around 1999. Unlike Hallmark, Enesco focused on characters you don't really see merchandise of, at least these days. All of these characters were also branded as "Cartoon Network Classics", as was standard at the time. The first one I'll be showing is of the one and only Mr. Jinks, who has found a certain set of meeces in his stocking.
Jinks wasn't the only feline who got an ornament. He was joined by Snagglepuss, who had his head stuck in a wreath, and Top Cat, who looked to be getting the alley in the holiday spirit. Kind of a shame we didn't see any ornaments featuring the rest of T.C.'s gang, but I can't say I'm shocked.
The last two released in this set were Quick Draw, and of course, Yogi Bear. Yogi's got a picnic basket full of candy canes, while Quick Draw decorates a Christmas cactus. A very fun and fitting scenario for the character if you ask me. It's unfortunate we didn't see more in this particular series, but I'm happy with what they did. It isn't every day one of these licensees remembers that Pixie and Dixie exist!
