Swarovski Santa Mo has officially launched in the Swarovski online store. As the orders begin coming in, Santa Mo will begin its journey to spend Christmas 2011 in thousand of the new homes.
Swarovski Santa Mo, Limited Edition 2011
This sweet Swarovski Lovlots limited edition cow (Swarovski system number 1096024) is dressed in a classic Santa suit, complete with Santa hat. This Swarovski figurine will be available only in 2011.
Knowing that this is a Swarovski Limited Edition, many crystal fanatics may purchase extra Christmas Santa Mo figurines speculating on how popular this collectible may be beginning on 2012. As a result, Santa Mo may appear soon in online auctions or the secondary market. Once Crystal Exchange America has any listings for the figurine, the Swarovski Santa Mo will be found in the ‘Limited Edition Swarovski’ category of the store.
Here’s looking forward to a Merry Christmas with a new Santa Mo in my crystal cabinet!
The Kristall Buzz, a blog on Swarovski Crystal, has launched its third YouTube video, this time featuring the Swarovski Lovlots in a different location. Take a look!
Mr McLovlots initially has 5 cows, 2 ducks, 3 sheep, and then adds 5 more cows. His first Swarovski cow family features:
Swarovski Missy Mo, introduced 2006 and still current
The Swarovski figurines: Missy Mo and Y2B are two of the crystal figurines from the Swarovski Lovlots Pioneers. They are both clear crystal collectibles.
Lily and Luke are full-color members of the Swarovski City Park group.
Shady (sheep) and the following Swarovski Cows: Pinky Mo, Soccer Mo, Flower Mo, Halloween Mo, Country Mos, Glamour Mos, and Sunshine Mo are all Swarovski Lovlots Special Editions. These Swarovski Limited Editions are/were only produced for a specific calendar year.
The Swarovski designer Edith Mair is credited for all the cute Swarovski crystal creations cast in the Swarovski McLovLots farm video.
If you are creating your own Swarovski farm, nearly all the featured cast members are available in the Crystal Exchange America store: www.CrystalExchange.com . Simply go to the ‘Limited Edition Swarovski’ or ‘Lovlots & Zodiacs’ category to see the crystal pieces presently available with current pricing.
Great news for our Swarovski crystal fanatics friends we’ve received more credible news, from an authorized retailer web site, about the Swarovski Crystal 2011 Lovlots figurines soon to be released!
Swarovski Anna and Emma are mice. They are just like the Joe and Harry mice, but have fuschia accents. Joe and Harry are clear mice that were released in 2006. The system number for these Swarovski crystal figurines is 843090. At the moment, Swarovski Joe and Harry are current and the set retails for $53. The Swarovski system number for Anna and Emma mice is 1090726.
Swarovski Coco is a small dog. Coco is blue in color. The system number for Swarovski Coco is 1089200.
Swarovski Piggy Sue is.can you guess.a pig! Piggy Sue is dark pink, but is just like her clear counterpart, Piggy Pong. Piggy Pong was released in 2007 and is slated for release this year. Swarovski Piggy Pong sells for $55 and the system number is 894551. Â The system number for Swarovski Piggy Sue is 1090725.
Swarovski Scottie is a green dog, likely a terrier. The system number for Swarovski Scottie is 1089199.
I wonder if Coco and Scottie will be added to the Swarovski Gang of Dogs family in the Lovlots product line. If so, this group will be up to 7 dogs. Other Gang of Dogs figurines includes: Peppino, Salvatore, Tomaso, Tomasino, and Violetta.
These new Swarovski Lovlots, Anna and Emma, Coco, Piggy Sue, and Scottie, will retail for $55 – $105 depending on the figurine.
Retired and Limited Edition Lovlots can be found at the Crystal Exchange America web site, which can be found at www.crystalexchange.com . I’m looking forward to seeing these Lovlots Swarovski crystal figurines in the near future!
Just a few days ago, I wrote about the impending release of the Swarovski Santa Mo figurine.
I found out today that the official launch date of this ‘ho ho ho’ Christmas Mo is July 11, 2011 in the online Swarovski shoppe. The article on the Swarovski site did not mention when it would be available at the official Swarovski retailers or Swarovski boutiques.
Swarovski Santa Mo, Limited Edition for 2011
This adorable Swarovski Lovlots limited edition cow (Swarovski system number 1096024) has a light siam (red) body and hat. It is accented with white alabaster balls on the hat and down the front of the cow’s Santa suit. Santa Mo’s face, ears and horn are in clear crystal. This Swarovski figurine will be available only in 2011 ‘while stocks last’.
The Swarovski article does not mention price, however, it is believed that it will retail near $65 – $70 per crystal figurine, which is a similar range to other limited edition Mo figurines.
When the Lovlots cow Santa Mo is sold out or retired by Swarovski, crystal collectors will have to acquire the limited edition crystal cow from online auctions or the secondary market. Crystal Exchange America will advertise any listings for the Swarovski Santa Mo figurine in the ‘Lovlots and Zodiacs’ category of the online store: www.CrystalExchange.com . That being said, it will likely be will be least expensive for any Swarovski collector to secure this figurine while it can be purchased as a current product.
It has been rumored for some time now that a Swarovski Santa Mo, a new Lovlots figurine would be released this year. Over the weekend, I have found web site product pages at three different authorized retailers.
This Swarovski Lovlots cow has a light siam (red) body and hat. It will be decorated with white alabaster balls on the hat and down the front of the Santa suit. Santa Mo’s face, ears and horn are in clear crystal. The Swarovski system number is 1096024.
Swarovski Santa Mo in 2011
The consensus is that the Lovlots Santa Mo should be available for purchase in July / August 2011. The marketing on this item is different than Swarovski Sunshine Mo. Sunshine Mo is an online limited edition and available only at the Swarovski web site, not from authorized retailers. The Swarovski Santa Mo will be available at authorized retailers in addition to being available for purchase at the online shoppe.
It appears that the retail price of the Lovlots Santa Mo will be similar to Sunshine Mo, perhaps $65 – $70 per crystal figurine.
Once the Lovlots figurine is retired by Swarovski, crystal collectors will turn to online auctions or the secondary market to purchase the crystal cow. As soon as Crystal Exchange America, web site located at www.CrystalExchange.com, has any listings for the figurine, the Swarovski Santa Mo will be found in the ‘Limited Edition Swarovski’ category of the store. That being said, it will be least expensive for any collector to secure their figurine while it can be purchased as a current product, not once it has officially been discontinued.
The Swarovski Sunshine Mo is now available for purchase at the Swarovski web site. This Limited Edition Lovlots Cow retails for $65. Sunshine Mo is another one of those Swarovski Limited Editions that ‘is available ‘while supplies last’….no total production quantity mentioned and only a cutoff order date of 2011.
The Sunshine Mo crystal cow looks delightful. According to Swarovski’s description, she is vibrant jonquil figurine with peridot crystal horns and light smoked topaz crystal ears wearing beautiful necklace in a stunning gradation of tropical crystal colors.
The Swarovski Mo family is expanding and starting to become a small Swarovski LE herd. I can just imagine all the Swarovski Mo figurine family planning a little party inside my crystal cabinet with some nice party music, frozen daiquiris, all having a good time. Pinky Mo (Swarovski LE 2007), Alabaster Mo (Swarovski LE 2007), Soccer Mo (Swarovski LE 2008), Flower Mo (Swarovski LE 2009), Halloween Mo (Swarovski LE 2009), Country Mos (Swarovski LE 2010, Glamour Mos (Swarovski LE 2010), and Charming Mo (Swarovski LE 2011) will all be in attendance.
Crystal Exchange America has listings for many of the Swarovski Mo Cows and Swarovski Lovlots special editions. Just visit http://www.crystalexchange.com/ and navigate to the Limited Edition Swarovski category in the menu on the left side of the web site.
Swarovski introduced the Swarovski Lovlots figurines in 2006. The Swarovski Lovlots were not just crystal figurines.they were animal caricatures vibrant in color, each with a personality of its own.
Swarovski Lovlots Limited Editions Swarovski Shady (2006), Swarovski Theo (2009), Swarovski Violetta (2008), Swarovski Ziggy (2010), and Swarovski Jade (2011)
The initial group of Swarovski Lovlots is known as the Swarovski Lovlots Pioneers. There were 8 animals in the Lovlots Pioneers. These Swarovski crystal figurines were all clear in color.
In 2008, the next group launch of Swarovski Lovlots was the Swarovski Gang of Dogs. The Gang of Dogs consisted of 4 dogs, plus a Swarovski Limited Edition Dog (Violetta) that was only available in 2008. Find out more in our Kristall Buzz News with Gang of Dogs Video.
In 2009, the Swarovski House of Cats group was introduced. The House of Cats was comprised of 5 cats, a cat pair, and a Swarovski Limited Edition Cat (Theo) that was only available in 2009. More information is available in our Kristall Buzz News with House of Cats Video.
In 2010, the Swarovski City Park group was released. The Swarovski City Park included 8 critters that may be found in the park, a bird pair, and a Swarovski Limited Edition Woodpecker (Ziggy) that was only available in 2010. See our Kristall Buzz News with City Park Video for more about this series.
In 2011, the Swarovski Circus group was announced. The Swarovski Circus encompasses many favorites found at a circus.6 animals, a 7th animal that is available for a limited time only, and a Swarovski Limited Edition Horse (Jade) that is only to be available in 2011. See our Kristall Buzz News on the Swarovski Circus about the official launch.
Now, after the short background introduction, you will be pleased to know that there is a web site with the Swarovski Lovlots Retirements in a free and easy-to-use format. RetiredSwarovski.com has a series of web pages with Swarovski Lovlots Retirements, 2006 through 2011. If you want to know what year a Swarovski Lovlots figurine retired, type it in the ‘search’ box of the site, and the results list will indicate a list of possibilities for a collector to select from to make getting the retirement year (answer) successful.
At RetiredSwarovski.com, it is also possible to print out the fact sheet listings by year of Swarovski Lovlots retirements, 2006 to 2011. The fact sheets are very useful in knowing which figurines retired in which years. The fact sheets include small photos, official Swarovski Product Name, Swarovski Part Number, Swarovski System Number, Swarovski Designer, Year Introduced, and Year Retired.
Crystal Exchange America has a selection of Retired Swarovski Lovlots figurines in their online store. If there is a Swarovski Lovlots crystal figurine absent from your display, visit the web site now, or if it is something that they can locate for you.
In the past, I have posted links to Swarovski Videos on YouTube. Still not posted to the KristallBuzz was the Swarovski City Park Video with the cartoonish Lovlots critters. The Swarovski Lovlots City Park group was released in 2010. Swarovski City Park critters include:
Swarovski Bella (Rabbit)
Swarovski Duke (Duck)
Swarovski Gracy (Squirrel)
Swarovski Lily & Luke (Ducks)
Swarovski Max (Fox)
Swarovski Nick (Hedgehog) – retiring 2011
Swarovski Romeo (Frog)
Swarovski Spike (Hedgehog) – retiring 2011
Swarovski Ted (Bear)
Swarovski Ziggy, Limited Edition (Woodpecker) – retired in 2010
Today, crystal fanatics all around the world (myself included) received an email from Swarovski announcing that the Swarovski Sunshine Mo will be available for purchase (in 23 countries) beginning May 30, 2011!
The Sunshine Mo crystal cow looks adorable. She is a very bright yellow crystal figurine wearing a red and pink flower necklace that resembles a Hawaiian lei. I still think that Sunshine Mo might make a great sister or cousin for ‘Hula Mo’! (hint, hint Swarovski!)
Swarovski Sunshine Mo
According to the Swarovski web site, they say that this online limited edition is going to be a rare Swarovski figurine. This then begs the question….does that mean that Swarovski is producing and releasing a much smaller quantity of Sunshine Mo figurines than her predecessors, sisters, and cousins on the Swarovski Lovlots West End?
Here’s for the introductions of the newbie Mo’s limited edition Lovlots relatives:
Swarovski Pinky Mo (LE 2007) – transparent pink cow with solid pink horns and bell
Swarovski Alabaster Mo (LE 2007. production quantity limited to 300); solid pink cow with transparent pink horns and bell
Swarovski Soccer Mo (LE 2008) – red cow with white horns and ball (NO bell)
Swarovski Flower Mo (LE 2009) – green flowered cow with white horns and bell
Swarovski Halloween Mo (LE 2009) – orange cow with black horns and bell
Swarovski Country Mos (LE 2010) – spotted cows with matching horns and bell
Swarovski Glamour Mos (LE 2010) – golden cow and black cow with white horns (NO bell)
Swarovski Charming Mo (LE 2011) pink hearted cow with greyish horns (NO bell)
Rare Swarovski Alabaster Mo
Crystal Exchange America has listings for many of the Swarovski Mo Cows and Swarovski Lovlots special editions. Just visit http://www.crystalexchange.com/ and navigate to the ‘Lovlots and Zodiac’ category in the menu on the left side of the web site.
The latest Lovlots series was launched last month, the Swarovski Lovlots circus. Swarovski Benny is among the figurines in this Lovlots series. Accompanying Swarovski Benny Bunny are Swarovski Jade Dancing Horse, Swarovski Jasmine Dancing Horse, Swarovski Leo Lion, Swarovski Rolly Monkey, Swarovski Rosalie Dancing Horse, Swarovski Toby Elephant, and Swarovski Tony Elephant.
The crystal giant has certainly advertised Jade as a limited edition Swarovski figurine in the Circus series. The site states that Swarovski Jade is a ‘Limited Edition horse available only available in 2011’.
There is another figurine in the Swarovski Circus collection that the Swarovski site implies may be a limited edition.Swarovski Benny. Taken directly from the Swarovski Benny product description on the site: ‘This shy Prince Charming makes a very cute couple with Bella the rabbit! Benny is only available for a limited time while stocks last.’
Swarovski Circus Benny Bunny
I have asked several Swarovski retailers about whether or not Benny is a limited edition, and they seem unaware of the possibility that it could be limited. I did some searching on the web, and found at least five stores online stating that it is available for a limited time only. Two store sources told me that it does not have the year on it (like other Limited Edition Lovlots).
The Lovlots Circus Swarovski crystal figurines are all available for purchase on the Swarovski web site. Simply go to the web site, and do a search on ‘circus’. The search results will show the eight figurines from the series.
If I should get a Swarovski company confirmation regarding the marketing of Swarovski Benny, I’ll post an update.
