Treasure Jest
Edition size: 500
Release date: August 2022
US retail: $80
Should a porcupine be out on an inflatable dinghy? Common sense says no – but fear of offending shouts ‘Go Ahead’. Inspired by ‘liberalism taken to the extreme’, I decided to turn off the BBC and dream up my own, off the wall version of what would be the most ridiculous thing to agree to. What else but a porcupine in a dinghy! These two spiky chaps are risking it, but possibly regretting their decision, considering the number of puncture repairs they are having to undertake. Watch out for the lamp fish carved into the interior – he has a familiar look about him.
The Wonder of the Seas, you may know, is the latest supersize cruise ship to set sail and ‘Ben’ is the name of an unusual friend who passed away whilst I was carving this. You may also wonder about the four little dots – so did I! I realised afterwards that I had put these on to add this year’s hallmarks – and then forgot! Age is catching up with my brain! Well, it adds another little twist to this piece.
Enjoy!

2012 Harmony Kingdom Announcement
After nearly 20 years, Noel and Lisa are handing over the Harmony Kingdom reins to the one person who has their complete trust and admiration – Peter Calvesbert. Back in 1990, Peter and Martin started what would become a booming box figurine craze. When they became acquainted with them in 1994, it was Peter's extraordinary talent that inspired them to create Harmony Kingdom. And over two decades, Peter has never once let them down. They will very much miss working with him, but they know that he, and his wife Andrea, will steward the collection with the utmost care and creativity, and they so look forward to seeing the interesting directions they take.
To associate with other like-minded people in small, purposeful groups is for the great majority of men and women a source of profound psychological satisfaction. Exclusiveness will add to the pleasure of being several, but at one; and secrecy will intensify it almost to ecstasy. — Aldous Huxley
Harmony Kingdom's authorized independent clubs aren't secret societies, but they are a source of great pleasure and sometimes even ecstasy for fans of Harmony Kingdom. Each club is organized and run by individual collectors and, as such, are all unique. Yet they do have one thing in common—members are all fascinated by Harmony Kingdom box figurines and enjoy discovering their hidden secrets. In addition to a shared interest in Harmony Kingdom, the clubs are deeply involved in charitable activities and many provide informative newsletters and organize fun social events. Each authorized independent club elects a delegate to the HK House of Peers—the central council that acts as liaison between the independent clubs and Harmony Kingdom.
Please check the listing for the club nearest you. Many clubs accept members from out-of-state and offer long-distance benefits. Or you may decide to form your own independent club. Guidelines for receiving official sanctioning from Harmony Kingdom are listed under Independent Club Guidelines.
Harmony Kingdom's authorized independent clubs are a great way to meet like-minded folks, develop friendship participate in meaningful charitable activities, receive special offers, invitations and pieces, and have some fun. Join today!
