This is a big bear with a huge presence! Jack Frost is made from two shades of Schulte mohair, one white and the other we hand-dyed a wintery pale blue. His pattern is uniquely spliced to give him a winter white full face, and his hand-painted glass eyes are a vibrant shade of blue framed by leather eyelids. Jack Frost has an elaborate outfit with many special features that we hand-made for him; we gave him armature in his legs so that he stands very sturdily even with his entire costume on!

Jack Frost, as a kingly figure of winter, wears a blue satin cloak that we carefully hand-made for him. The outside features two layers of sheer blue fabric with sparkles, and the inside is fully lined in pale blue satin. The cloak is trimmed with a synthetic fur, this gives it the impression of being extravagantly trimmed in fox or ermine. Along the lower edge of his cloak, on both the inside and outside, is an aurora borealis beaded trim which we hand-sewed additional accent crystals onto, these were Swarovski crystals in a pale aqua blue shade with a sparkling aurora borealis (multi-colored) coating. The cloak is removable, and attaches with a silver plated Swarovski crystal chain under his throat.

Jack Frost also wears an icy crown upon his brow. It has spires of "ice" rising from it, each wrapped in sparkly iridescent and silver cording. His crown rests upon his brow in a rhinestone setting, which we accented with the same aqua Swarovski beads that he has on his cloak trim. His winter staff has magnets on it that attach to a magnet inside his right paw, so that he can hold it himself. We painted the staff in many different shades of blue with iridescent accents, then the entire staff was wrapped in a crystalline yarn to give it an extra icy look. Jack Frost wants you to know though... that no matter how wintry he may look, his heart is still as warm and fuzzy as a teddy bear's should be!
