Does anyone know what the globes are made of and are they painted or some sort of sticker?

the globes are just like globes that come on a stand for educational purposes. Hollow and printed paper, and coated with some kind of lacquer

Hard plastic interior shell with a paper sticker on the exterior. I love mine!

It is not painted. They are cardboard balls with a map wrapped around them. If you go to World Market and look at their small globes it is basically the same thing.

I do think it is some kind of sticker. I don't know what they are made of, but they are very lightweight. Maybe some kind of plastic ball?

Not sure what they are made of, but they are very light and hollow, they feel papery. I assume the image is a sticker (not painted), but it's very clean looking and does not look tacky.

I believe the globes are a painted hollow plastic/styrofoam. Whatever an actual globe is made of is what these are made of... They are just miniature versions. Each globe is from a different time. They are wonderful quality and look beautiful. The detailing is nice... A little blurry on the smaller one, but understandably so. It was very easy to assemble, the instructions were very clear. I purchased them as my son's crib mobile; his nursery theme is vintage travel. I will for sure find a place for them as he grows. :)

They are very light and similar to an actual globe only much smaller. I really like them. I actually took them apart and hung two sets in my sons bedroom by the ceiling.

They are stickers, decals. One of our Earth globes had shoddy decal placement, and the cap decal on one of the poles came unglued.

I don't know. They did not have any manufacturing sticker. When I bought them, I was hoping they were sunflower.

There is 3 globes with the 3 poles in the package. The units I received the globes are more of a shattered glass not crackled glass. I got a glass sliver in my hand when putting together.

Thank you for your inquiry. They were made of China. It was made of ceramic.

They look like a very high quality sticker. In fact, I assumed it was engraved until I just took a close look at them. We've been very happy with it.

It is not a metal globe, maybe cardboard with a plastic Meridian ring around the entire globe. Although the materials may sound cheap, it does have a realistic appearance of being bronze or metallic like. It shows well with a richly stained stand that really gives it a rich appearance. I'm very happy with the globe, it simply looks good and it functional as well.

The globe itself is maybe thin particle board. The decals line up and look very nice, inside and out. The lid stays open if it's opened all the way up

They seem to be comprised of some sort of pressed particle board with a cherry-like veneer. I hope that helps.

They are made of plastic that is a little soft, not rock hard. Some of the plastic is colored, other parts like eyes appear to be painted. Not sure where it was made.

They are painted. But we returned. The fiberboard was splintering into little pieces of sharp painted wood right out of the box. Totally crap quality item that is dangerous for any aged kid.

I'm not sure where they're made :/ but they do have numbers... They'll start to scratch off after a while though... I've had em about 5 mo and the top few numbers are barely there. And they don't have the color like the picture... They look like the new smaller bottles (at least mine did) w/ the yellow dots.

They are a type of tin with a rubbery type of stuff over laying the tin. Mine are amazing, so amazing I have had 3 friends order them as well. You will not be disappointed

They are wood, coated in an enamel paint. The paint will eventually peel (they all do) but will last much longer by handwashing.

They are made in China, as the "made in China" stickers on ALL of them indicates. Not worth $100 if you ask me, and I have had them for a few years now.

The globe itself may be made of plastic. Can't see the inside. The frame is metal. Is very good quality.

They are paper coated with a thin plastic I believe. I hung them from my outdoor gazebo/tent for a beach themed bridal shower. They added to the festive theme, however I wish I had bought more. Hope that helps.

I have had these type of puzzles for years. I still had some from at least 15 years ago. It is impossible for me to tell whether they are stickers with some type of laquer over the topor if they are painted on. All I can tell you is that I have never had them peel or get worn looking. These puzzles are very nice quality and I can atest to the fact that they do last for many years. I hope this helps you.
