Questions about the collection
Anything else? Email rb@gnomeandgardendepot.com and we reply within 24 hours (Monday to Friday).
Are these official Sandra Boynton statues?
Yes. They're official Sandra Boynton statues. We cast and finish every one by hand in our Nashville workshop.
What sizes are there?
Both the Sentry Chicken and the Berserk Hippo come in Small (4 inches), Medium (6 inches) and Large (10 inches), or as a Family Set of all three. A Small weighs about 2 pounds, a Medium about 4, and a Large about 13 (Chicken) or 15 (Hippo). Each size comes painted or unpainted.
What's the difference between painted and unpainted?
Painted statues are finished by hand in the character's colors, then sealed. Unpainted statues are the bare cast cement, for a natural stone look, and cost less.
Can they stay outside?
Yes. They're solid cement, finished for outdoor use, and the painted ones are sealed over the paint. Cover them or bring them in during hard freezes to keep the paint looking its best.
When will my Berserk Hippo ship?
The Hippo is on pre-order. Our final guarantee is delivery by February 15, 2027. Order by November 14 and we'll do our best to ship yours by December 12 for Christmas, in the order received. If yours won't make it, we'll email you as soon as we know, and you can keep your order or cancel for a full refund. You can cancel any time before it ships for a full refund.
When will my Sentry Chicken ship?
The Chicken is in stock, and we usually ship within a week, or up to about 3 weeks when orders surge. A Chicken ordered together with a Hippo waits and ships in the same box when the Hippo is ready.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is a fixed price by weight, anywhere in the US, and each statue's page shows it before you check out: $5.99 for a Small, $9.99 for a Medium and $19.99 for a Large. A Small Chicken and Large Hippo together ship in one box for $19.99, and get $8 off when you buy both.
What if it arrives broken?
Email support@gnomeandgardendepot.com within 7 days of delivery with a photo of the damage and the box, and we'll send a replacement free, or refund you if you'd rather. You don't need to send the broken piece back.
Want to be first when the next one is ready?
The Berserk Hippo is up for pre-order, and more Boynton characters are in the mold room. Join the list and we'll tell you the day they're out.
