Valentine Joy - HUM 399/III HSC 69139093

Limited Edition.

A lifetime of love begins with a simple, sweet gesture. Celebrate the charm of youthful affection with Valentine Joy (HUM 399/III). While this beloved character first captured hearts in 1973 in smaller sizes, this impressive large-scale edition brings every detail of his romantic mission to life. Dressed in authentic Bavarian lederhosen, this young suitor is fully prepared for his visit, carrying a bottle under one arm and a "Lebkuchen" heart inscribed with "I like you" under the other.

This piece is a celebration of romantic tradition and premium craftsmanship. Adorned with a vibrant sunflower and delicate blue blossoms, the boy is accompanied by a tiny, chirping bird at his feet—a classic M.I. Hummel symbol of harmony. Meticulously hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, this Limited Edition release is a significant acquisition for collectors who appreciate larger, statement-sized figurines and the timeless theme of love. Whether as a Valentine's Day treasure or a centerpiece for your display, Valentine Joy is a radiant expression of devotion.

Whether you are celebrating an engagement or a growing romance, this piece pairs beautifully with these select figurines:

• We Belong Together (HUM 2447): A perfect companion piece featuring another bashful boy and his traditional gingerbread heart gift.

• First Kiss (HUM 2419): Capture the next step in this sweet story with this innocent and romantic companion figurine.

• Dearly Beloved (HUM 2003): Complete the journey of love by pairing this young suitor with the elegance of the wedding altar.
