Soap Connoisseur is an officially licensed Department 56 A Christmas Story Village figurine for village collectors and A Christmas Story fans, recreating the famous scene where Ralphie gets his mouth washed out with soap.
Ralphie said the word. THE word. The queen-mother of dirty words. And Mother responded the only way a 1940s parent knew how: with a bar of soap and zero hesitation. Lifebuoy was awful. Lux was a little better. And Ralphie walked away with a refined palate nobody asked for. This hand-painted piece captures the moment our hero became a reluctant expert in suds.
