Adriana L.9/18/2025I gave this a 5 star because it was very deserving in quality and make. However; it was the only piece I returned out of a total of 17 displays bought at the same time. Listed at 10cm, it will definitely NOT look well with the 5 inch figures. The face features are so small that they are barely visible, especially if you place him in the middle of the installation. I would only recommend this display for a 3 to 4 inch figure setting and nothing else. The one I received did not have a mustache, which; depending on each case; will make a difference in the application. It is a pity that Holyart could not be of help measuring the actual figure PRIOR to my purchase to avoid returns; they did however; pay for the s&h back to Italy, so I was pleased that they DID stand by their online criteria and that it was easy to handle. When I did my purchase, the s&h was FREE, but I had another look today at their website and they had removed the FREE freight to the US, so unfortunately this will make the items excessively costly and therefore no longer affordable, at least for me. While I understand the complexity of measuring each individual figurine within a display; I encourage Holyart to take the time to do it or to at least have the manufacturer/artisan measure it himself so it can be added into the item description page. It will truly help the user get a better sense if they work for whatever intended use or if they don't. It is also a much needed tool for a better assessment to which figure sizes the figure in the display will look good in. This is key in order to contemplate a possible purchase. All item descriptions in Holyart's website have the display dimensions but not the actual size of the figure. I genuinely hope that all the detailed feedback left herein will help all/any user to make a better informed decision as to any possible purchase.

Giorgio B.11/4/2023Forse la statuina più bella che ho al momento nel presepe, il movimento del torchio è realistico al massimo con il coltello che ci passa sopra e crea il rumore dell'affilatura.
