TOVE JANSSON'S MOOMINS have long been much more than just storybook characters for children – they are cherished Finnish icons loved by kids and grown-ups alike. To many, Moomins have also become a zealous hobby in the form of collecting Moomin mugs or other Moomin collectibles.

The collection consists of the Moomin family and a selection of other residents of the Moominvalley.
The figurines are made of steel and plated with genuine 18-carat gold.
The latest addition to the collection is Hemulen, Moominvalley's resident botanist and stamp collector.
Founded in 1607 as a brass works, Skultuna is nowadays an acclaimed design brand known for top-notch quality and beautifully timeless design.
Over the years, there have been many different versions of Moomin figurines from the hand-made dolls by Atelier Fauni to the ceramic mini figurines by Arabia. Skultuna's figurines add a touch of luxury to the beloved characters: the figurines are made of top-quality steel and plated with genuine 18-carat gold.
The collection is simply named Moomin x Skultuna and consists of nine figurines in total. In addition to Moomintroll, Moominmamma, and Moominpappa, the series features the Moomin family's friends Snorkmaiden, Snufkin, Sniff, Little My, Stinky, and the latest addition, Hemulen.

The gilded Moomins bring a dose of playful elegance not only to the kids' room but also the rest of the home.
The Moomin x Skultuna figurines make for the perfect and slightly more luxurious gift idea for any Moomin fan.
The manufacturer of the figurines, Skultuna, has long traditions in making jewelry and metal products, but instead of gold, the company is best known for its home accessories in brass. Originally, it actually was a brass foundry established by the king of Sweden, Karl IX, in 1607.

Its products exude timeless elegance and uncompromising quality, sure to last from one generation to the next.
The same goes, of course, for the gilded Moomin figurines. They add a dose of playful elegance to any home and are guaranteed to brighten up the day of every Moomin fan, however young or old!
