"Rudolph is a true holiday classic, and has become an integral part of the American Christmas tradition," said Tom Lowe, President and Owner of Round 2. "Rudolph has entertained families for generations - he’s part of our lives around the holidays. We want people to feel like these little characters have stepped right out of their TV sets and into their homes."

Press the button on the iceberg display base to play the song, "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer."

The set includes four micro figures with hidden magnets: Rudolph, Hermey, Yukon Cornelius, and Bumble himself. Available at CVS Pharmacy and Time and Space Toys.com
