The Swarovski Shrek Home collection reimagines characters from the DreamWorks animated franchise as precision-cut crystal figurines. Created in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, the collection transforms familiar figures from the Kingdom of Far Far Away into decorative collectibles. The lineup includes Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss in Boots, Donkey, and the Gingerbread Man, each rendered using colored crystal facets and metal accents that replace the plastic materials typically used for character merchandise.
Each figure uses multiple crystal facets to recreate the characters’ distinctive features and personalities. The Shrek figurine, for example, contains 551 facets that shape his green complexion and recognizable expression, while Fiona’s figure uses 584 facets with a silver-tone crown. Donkey, Puss in Boots, and the Gingerbread Man appear in similarly detailed crystal forms, including Gingy’s gumdrop buttons and lollipop accessory.
