Moomin Animation Mugs Arabia

Arabia surprises us this summer with four beautiful mugs illustrated with scenes from the new Moominvalley 3D animation series. The series from Gutsy Animation gives new life to Tove Jansson’s stories bringing them closer to younger generations through a mix of 2D/3D techniques where the characters appear in 3D with 2D illustration for the background.

Each mug is linked to a different story and a different season: spring with the Last Dragon, summer with the Golden Tail, fall with the Night of the Groke and winter with Midwinter. The four mugs come with a special stamp on the bottom showing the Moominvalley animation logo and they are dishwasher, microwave and oven safe up to 200°C.

Spring has arrived in Moominvalley and Snufkin has just returned from his trips. Moomintroll has been eagerly awaiting the return of his friend because he has big news to tell him. He has just found a beautiful golden-dragon, and he wants to show his new pet to his friend.

The entire Moomin family has to leave the house which is overwhelmed by the flood in Moominvalley. The summer theater floating in the river becomes a new home for the family.


Moominpappa is excited to create a play of adventures from his youth. The excitement of the play causes the Moomintroll’s tail to go bald. But Moominmamma has an unexpected solution: Moomintroll will get a golden tail!

In Night of the Groke, Moomintroll is left alone when Mamma and Pappa are going on an impromptu adventure. He has to overcome his anxiety by confronting the cold shadowy creature, the Groke. The Groke is a ghost like creature which freezes everything she touches and leaves a trail of ice and snow in her walk.

She seeks warmth and friendship but is feared by all and left alone in her cold cavern on top of the Lonely Mountain.

In Midwinter Moomintroll wakes up too early from his hibernation to find Moominvalley covered in snow.

Walking alone in the winter silence, Moomintroll has to resort to the wisdom of his ancestors to survive the winter mystery.

Moomin Evening Swim Arabia Summer 2019

Remember the Moomin family preparing to go on vacation last summer? This summer we find them on holiday on an island. Will all the things they brought along be of any use on this adventure? Fishing rods and beauty products, swimming suits and pancake pans, food supplies and cooking utensils, they seem to be well prepared.

Here they meet a group of pirates and they rescue Mymble from a sinking ship. Under the red sunset sky they enjoy an evening swim, jumping from a quickly improvised diving board, while a little yellow cat watches from the shore in disbelief.

As we are used by now, Arabia enchants us again with the 6 piece set of the summer: a plate, a mug, 2 spoons and 2 new handmade minifigurines, Little My and Tooticky which makes now a family of 6 ceramics figurines based on the original design of Tuulikki Pietilä :

Going on Holiday – Arabia’s New Moomin Summer Products

We have been giddy with anticipation for the arrival of the new Moomin summer seasonal series from Arabia. As usually, they do not disappoint. This summer the Moomins are getting ready to go on a new adventure, they are packing to go on vacation on a deserted island. A group of scientist witnessing the preparations are pondering what the Moomins are up to, how the weather is going to change and if it is wise to go on such a trip. But the Moomins don’t mind the scientists and just keep collecting all that is needed for such an enterprise: fishing rods and beauty products, swimming suits and pancake pans, food supplies and cooking utensils.

Moomin News from Arabia- Hobgoblin, Thingumy and Bob

We are so excited about the new Moomin sets from Arabia: Hobgoblin, and Thingumy and Bob and the King’s Ruby!

Thingumy and Bob and the King’s Ruby come to replace the old Thingumy and Bob set which was discontinued last year, and the Hobgoblin is a totally new character in the Moomin Arabia family.

These two new designs are based on images from Tove Jansson’s book Finn Family Moomintroll. The original drawings were black and white and now Tove Slotte breathes new life into them, enriching them with deep purple, red and fresh crispy green.

Last summer we were presented with the special Moominvalley Mug which was illustrated with the cover of the same book, and these two new designs follow the story line from the book.

When Moomintroll, Sniff and Snufkin find the Hobgoblin’s hat, all kinds of unexpected adventures and mishaps begin in Moominvalley.  Eggshells thrown into the hat turn into clouds on which the children fly over the valley, and when Moomintroll hides into the hat during the hide-and-seek game he is transformed beyond recognition.

The Moomins exchange later the hat for the King’s ruby which Thingumy and Bob have stolen from the Groke. This large ruby is exactly the one that the Hobgoblin is looking for, when he arrives to Moominvalley riding his panther, but he is refused.

In the end the Hobgoblin grants wishes to everyone at the party offered by the Moomins, and thus Thingumy and Bob wish for a ruby duplicate which they offer to the Hobgoblin, who can grant wishes of others but not his own.

The new Moomin character dishes come to our shop in week 8 of 2018.
