Frequently Asked Questions by our Customers

What do all the sizes mean and how do I know what size set I have?
The sizes are equivalent to the tallest standing figure. If a standing king is about 5 inches tall, that means you have a 5 inch set. All the figures are based upon a scale size.
A 5 inch scale infant Jesus won't be 5 inches, the baby is about 2 inches long.
A kneeling 5 inch scale figure will not be 5 inches tall either. That figure will be proportional to the 5 inch standing figure.
If you have a 5 inch set, you want to stay with all 5 inch stables, buildings, accessories etc...
The rule above is the same for all of the Fontanini® size's.

What are the Fontanini figures and stables made out of?
Most of the lighted nativity stables are made out of resin. The rest of the stables are usually made out of wood, cork and moss. Under the larger photo of each stable will list the materials used to make that stable.
Figures: From 3.5 inch scale size up to 18 inch are made out of a break resistant material called Polymer. The 27 inch scale figures up to the 70 inch scale are made of a marble based resin.
Each and everyone of the Fontanini figures are painted by villagers in a small town in Italy called Bagni di Lucca. Some of the villagers will even take the figures home to paint them.
The paint used for the figures are made with a non-lead based paint so it's safe for all of your family members including the children to enjoy the wonderful craftsmanship of Fontanini®.
Does the baby Jesus come out of his manger?
Absolutely! No matter the size set you may have, the tradition of Fontanini is that the baby Jesus will always be made in a way that you can take him out of the manger.
This has always been a valued tradition of Fontanini®!
