These colourful cold characters could cheer up your Christmas conifer
The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author.
According to the set's description at LEGO.com, one is an adult snowman and the other a child. The latter has Harry Potter-esque glasses and a woolly bobble hat, while his father (?) dons a top hat and holds a Christmas present.
The attachment rings debuted in Dots sets a few years ago: they facilitate hanging the characters from the branches of your tree or can be removed or folded out of the way if you're displaying them another way.
The duo are designed to be viewed from the front only: there is no detail on the back, and they are only 2 bricks deep.
At £10.99/$12.99/€12.99 the set will make a nice stocking filler, either for your kids or yourself, and it's sure to bring Christmas joy to whoever builds it.

10/10 alliteration skills in the summary.
A nice little threshold maker upper!
These are too cute.

I didn't even notice that! It is indubitably impressive.

That's what I was thinking. And I love Lego Christmas tree ornaments, so may well use this to do that next Black Friday.

There's only so many key rings a person needs!
I can't unsee the cones as beaks with rounded mouths, or proboscuses. They don't register as noses to me

I actually used to collect keychains, so at one point, I would have disagreed with you on that.

I only have 62, with not a single key on any of them!

Yeah, they look more like ducks doing the "Pingu Noot-Noot".
