Know before you buy
Frankie's Dog Walking Co. is part of the Lighted Buildings collection and typically includes a standard light cord to plug into a wall outlet for illumination.
No, this item is strictly designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture or extreme temperature fluctuations can damage the materials and the electrical components.
At 4.7 inches tall, this is a smaller accessory piece. It is scaled to complement standard village buildings without overpowering the scene, making it ideal for filling gaps or adding detail to the foreground.
The piece comes in expanded polyethylene packaging, which is specifically molded to protect the structure. We recommend keeping this original packaging to ensure the ceramic and polyresin components remain safe and dust-free during the off-season.
The light is designed to provide a soft, ambient glow rather than a functional light source. It creates a warm, festive atmosphere within your village display rather than illuminating a room.
