INFORMATION PLEASE

UPDATE: Turns out these are not snowglobes at all but playsets. The domes come off and the water is just in a shell much like the children's glasses that have liquid in them with glitter or toys.

I found these pics on ebay and don't know anything about them other then they are approximately 17 cm tall, the seller lives in Australia and they appear to be part of a series. Can anyone provide more info for the guide?

Thanks Velvet. So these look like do it yourself snowglobe kits. Is that what they are? How do you "play" with them if they are filled with water?

I bought the Aladdin and Jasmine one. On the base are three screws that unhook the playset from the globe. The globe just pops off with a little twist.

Inside the globe is regular glitter and some gold lamp-shaped glitter. The figures Aladdin and Jasmine have a hole in them to stand them up in various places. The playset features the main tower with a detail of the lamp and genie, around this tower the magic carpet can connect.

The base of the playset features some homes (which pop open), then some trees, the desert and the entrance to the Cave of Wonders (this also opens).
