Summertime Surprise (Club Exclusive) - HUM 428/I HSC 69139093

Exclusive Skrobek Edition. Limited to 950 pieces. Club Exclusive.

Summer adventures often bring the most delightful surprises! In this enchanting scene, an adventurous little lad has paused his wanderings to greet a tiny new friend—a bright red ladybug perched on his hand. Together, they perfectly capture the essence of summer curiosity and the quiet magic found in nature.

Summertime Surprise (HUM 428/I) carries a special significance within M.I. Hummel's history. For decades, this motif was held in the archives as a "Possible Future Edition" (PFE), waiting for the perfect moment to be shared with the world. Now, we proudly introduce it as a Club Exclusive figurine to launch the Skrobek Celebration Series. This limited-release masterpiece honors the legacy of master sculptor Gerhard Skrobek, marking the start of a six-piece series leading up to his 100th birthday celebration.
