"Problem with Standing"
Because several figures in the set are not level on the bottom, they either fall often or have to lean against something to stand.

"Very Basic but Charming Nativity"
Figures within the Palm House are roughly carved and lack detail on the faces, clothing. Artist needs to take a bit more time and do a bit more finishing effort.
