Sunnydaze Ivan the Rustic Nutcracker Statue vs Step2 Nutcracker Prince

Buy the Sunnydaze Ivan 2-pack if you want two ready-to-display nutcrackers with a painted rustic finish and no assembly. Buy the Step2 Nutcracker Prince if you want one large 6-foot focal piece and plan to paint it yourself. The Sunnydaze pair is smaller at 33 inches and made of polyresin with a wood-look finish; owners of similar resin statues note they are light and can tip in wind. The Step2 is a 72-inch plastic statue rated 4.6 out of 5 from 93 ratings, assembles in about 10 minutes and takes paint well, but it arrives plain white.

• Choose the Sunnydaze Ivan if you want two finished nutcrackers to place at a door, porch or fireplace without painting or assembly.
• Choose the Step2 Nutcracker Prince if you want one tall statement piece and enjoy painting it to match your own colors.
