2017 Reveal: Series Finals (UPDATED)
Don’t miss the 2017 series finals.
1968 FLH Electra Glide®
Harley-Davidson® Motorcycle Milestones
19th and Final in the series.
While working on the final ornament in this series, Robert thought of his father-in-law, who was a second dad to him and loved all things Harley. Though he’s gone now, Robert says “he would have really loved this bike because it has everything he loved most in a Harley.”
Dug
Disney.Pixar Up
Disney.Pixar Legends
7th and Final in the series.
The final ornament of this series brings sound and light together, which is a first for the series. You’ll hear some of Dug’s most memorable moments from the movie, and his collar lights up, too.
Santa Certified
5th and Final in the series.
You know the very best toys are handcrafted by Santa himself, and only those get the “Santa Certified” seal. Well, this time Santa needed a little help with the crafting, so who else would he call but Ken Crow?

Event Exclusive
Look who’s coming to town
If you plan to attend the KOC convention in August, you can look forward to a signing event like never before, where you’ll have the opportunity to have every artist sign the studio piece available for purchase. It’s a very special studio piece, too, just in time for the club’s 30th anniversary. As one of our premium ornaments, it’s crafted from fine porcelain and features a classic depiction of Santa’s sleigh piled high with gifts, each one designed by a different artist. Only 1,800 will be available this year, one for each registered attendee at the convention. Plus, it won’t be repainted next year, so snag it while you can!
