Grimm's Decorative Figure Koala

It is a hand painted wooden koala figure created by Grimm's to celebrate 21 years of the brand in Australia. The idea came from a conversation between Melissa and Elke at the Nurnberg Toy Fair, and the koala was chosen as something uniquely Australian to mark the milestone. It is offered as part of the Grimm's Celebrations range of decorative figures.

No. The koala is listed as a decoration and is not intended for play. Use it on a nature table, window sill or birthday display rather than as a toy, and keep it away from very young children. It is best enjoyed as a keepsake figure that marks a special occasion or sits within a seasonal scene at home.

The koala was born from an idea by Melissa to celebrate 21 years of Grimm's in Australia. She spoke with Elke at the Nurnberg Toy Fair about a decoration that would feel uniquely Australian, and Elke took on the task. The result is the hand painted koala, made to mark two decades of the Grimm's range being available in Australia.

The koala is hand painted, so each figure carries small differences in its finish. These natural variations are a normal part of a handmade decoration and are not considered faults. Because it is painted by hand, the character of every piece is slightly unique, which suits its role as a commemorative figure rather than a mass produced ornament.

The koala sits within the Grimm's Celebrations line of decorative figures, alongside numbers, flowers and other small painted pieces. You can group it with those figures on a birthday ring, spiral or nature table. Explore the wider selection in our /collections/grimms-celebrations collection to build a display around the koala figure.

The koala works well as a keepsake or milestone gift because it was made to celebrate 21 years of Grimm's in Australia. Since it is a decorative item and not a toy, it suits collectors, gift givers and anyone building a Grimm's celebration display. Keep it out of reach of young children, as it is not intended for play.
