Well- I went to Tuesday Morning and all they had was little creatures that looked more like Christmas Fairies than elves. I looked them over and thought you could clip their wings off- but their little leaf like skirts would still say fairy. They were really cute though- bendable, 7-8 inches tall, cute faces, came in red, light green, and gold for $7.99.
I also saw some elf items at my Kohls. They were 40% off and I had a 30% scratch off. They had some boy and girl elves that were felt,stuffed but not poseable about 6 inches tall. They were actually Christmas ornaments. They are very cute. They had "picks" (like plat picks) that matched also.
I still haven't found THE elves I want but I am on the search.... I still have to check my Dollar Tree.
