Home Accents Holiday Animated Christmas Figure vs Cuddle Barn Rockin Robbie

Buy the Home Accents Holiday figure for a tabletop centerpiece that adults and kids can watch together; buy Rockin Robbie for a child who wants a toy to hold, squeeze and start on their own. The Home Accents piece is resin, hand-painted and heavier, with a rotating skating scene and LED light. Robbie is soft plush, about 12 inches, runs on AA batteries and sings one song while it sways and flashes. Owners of animated resin villages tend to treat them as decor that stays put; plush singing toys get handled, dropped and worn, and Robbie's 2013 design is a simple novelty rather than a collectible.

• Choose the Home Accents Holiday figure if you want a detailed, hand-painted tabletop display with a moving skating scene that doubles as a gift for adults.
• Choose the Cuddle Barn Rockin Robbie if the gift is for a young child who wants a soft, battery-powered singing tree to carry around.
