BigBadToyStore is slhaving a preorder for a Santa Claus themed line by Fresh Monkey Fiction from Nov 15- Dec 31st. If they succeed in getting the minimum, then we get a 1/12 scale Santa... or elves and nutcrackers. Me? I only want a vanilla Santa. As of the writing of this rant, 2500 Santas preorders are required and only 1999 have been made.
Having a super articulated Santa Claus figure is insane. Marvel Legends displays could benefit from him. I figured Street Fighter could do some insane pics... even S7 TMNT could benefit from him, but my Phicen seamless anime girl could give me some naughty or nice displays... If I were to get 3 girls they could be called:
Ho Ho Ho girls... just don't tell TMSK about them. Insert an I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus reference here. One of the stretch goals is Freaking Krampus... how we haven't gotten one of these until now, especially since Santa has no copyright...
Update: Santa tier unlocked!
-Vanilla Santa 999 (possibly more since counter stops at 999)
-Robot Santa 557
-Zombie Santa 716
-Sgt. Santa 348
My question is: if each figure has a 500 figure minimum requirement... What would happen to Sgt. Santa if he doesn't reach the minimum required? I think he'll make it, but it is a reasonable question.
Update 2: Krampus kommt!
I don't want to be "THAT GUY" but I think they did it wrong... This Krampus should've been the cheaper version. Then the Santa disguised Krampus be the Deluxe one.
Vanilla Krampus should have come with the bag to take away naughty children
The list to ensure he's taking the naughty.
Gripping hands to hold the branches that he has.
The branches to punish naughty children.
Krampus also has chains, but I don't want to ask for too many newly sculpted parts: ie Cloven hooves for his lower legs, new forearms with enough space to add the chains that shackle him.
The reason I suggested the Santa disguise Krampus to be the Deluxe figure is due to the accessories for the "Santa disguise"
The already mentioned accessories above (branches, painted in candy cane pattern because Santa. The bag, the extra hands)
Add to those the cloak to hide Krampus's hideous appearance.
A second Krampus head, but with a Heath Ledger Joker paintjob in Santa Colors.
Because it feels that they put more effort on Robot Santa and Sgt. Santa than on Krampus.
If the $50 Krampus had a more Krampus-like appearance, like cloven feet and wasn't literally the vanilla Santa figure with a new head and hands.
