Where can I buy Christmas Village Figures?

I need some little Figures to go in my christmas village display, is there anywhere in or near london where i might be able to get these? I have looked in garden centres and they dont sell them.

Where can I buy Christmas Village Figures?
Most places that sell the buildings for the villages also sell some small figures to go in the display.

Reply:There is a fabulous shop in Callendar(Scotland) called the Christmas shop. It has loads of wee figures. Perhaps you could look them up on the "dot net" and buy online. Good luck. P.S. just googled it and there is a store in London. Just key in christmasshop.
Reply:I know this probably won't be of any help but the most amazing Christmas figures that I have ever seen were in the Dolomite region of Italy. This region ( I was living in Selva val Gardena when I saw these) is incredible for the sheer number of carving workshops that produce these wonderful figures. At Christmas you can see little lit up scenes of these with examples from each artist diplayed around the outside area to the church, and they are avaiable in most of the local shops. It was wonderful to see at night with all the snow on the ground.





So one day it may be worth looking out for these workshops to get something unique. In the meantime - have you ever thought of trying to make your own? It is quite easy using papier mache and some craft paint and at least you will have something really special and homemade which is what I think Christamas is all about.
