I can't wait to get this in hand. It looks amazing!

T0ySick · 12-03-2022, 01:27 PM

Ugly

Looks terrible like most thier holiday stuff.

This looks 100 times better

One of these things looks like Christmas took a dump. HINT: ITS THE SECOND ONE

You could make the argument, well they are two different styles of santa..but that doesn't change how ill fitting everything looks and how dumpy his stature is.

Yea, I want to like this but I just don’t. I know this is “their” style but for $ 60 I really need to feel it. And I just don’t. Glad for those that do.

I do have a ton of that “Naughty and Nice” collection on preorder.

Looks beautiful, but looks like he doesn’t have a lot of articulation. Can he even sit in a sleigh?

domu · 12-03-2022, 04:42 PM

The body beneath will be similar to this, so it should have decent articulation.

webz · 12-03-2022, 05:42 PM

This looks awesome! I love the traditional Father Christmas look compared to the more familiar “mall Santa”… this looks like a porcelain figurine my parents had for Xmas displays that was made in Germany in the 70’s.

Gotta make him look more like David Harbour

Boogieman4hire · 12-03-2022, 06:01 PM

Pretty badass. I'm glad I got one.

ronriii · 12-03-2022, 06:58 PM

I like it. I do think they could've done more with his expressions but not bad at all.

ghostbogey · 12-04-2022, 04:24 AM

Well....
They (4H) did a good job for..
"Saint Nick"....

IMO of course...

Me...

I Need the "Fat Boy...
I want....
The one and only..."Santa Claus"!!!..

Not that....
Car Commercial Skinny Santa look..
Not my Santa......NEVER!!!

My Man Santa....
Knew as a kid, you know?
I love him ;^)

Figure looks nice and has a good look but not $77 dollars after taxes and shipping for me though.

Atomsmasher · 12-04-2022, 11:40 AM

I would buy this if you know, I wasn't having to buy Christmas presents. Really enjoy what these guys do dig the European santa vibes rather than the Macy santa.

christhianml · 12-04-2022, 04:40 PM

Why should it be exclusive? being a small company, shipping fees are extremely high when compared to BBTS

CosmicCreature · 12-05-2022, 03:14 AM

Appears to be a really good Claus . Not my cup of tea for the theme. I dont usually do holiday figures ever but missed krampus last year and regretted it. This SC was easy to get for an in stock sale , its still available on storehorsemen .Four horsemen in stock sales sellout usually less than a minute most of the time.
yeh I cant do this , im saving up for their pre-order of undead wave ending mid jan .

Brotko052 · 12-05-2022, 11:31 AM

Happy I got him, but I am disappointed that he is not fat. The cloak is very nice but I also thought the purple robe was a little weird but not bad looking.

If you have a preference that's one thing, but I don't see how this offering looks bad.
It certainly doesn't look dumpy.

It doesn’t look bad at all. Honestly, I think it’s extremely classy and folksy. The armor under the solftgoods is kinda silly, but it’s understandable to keep costs down and articulation high. I find it far more rational to purchase over the Krampus figure. Headless Horseman looked awesome, but I couldn’t justify it for my displays. This won’t be going on my shelves, but will be incorporated in our family Xmas decorations. I applaud Four Horsemen’s efforts.

AceSimulacrum · 12-07-2022, 05:07 PM

Looks okay, but for the price and the details that I'm not really liking its going to be a pass and wait. Eventually someone will put out a more classic/folklore inspired Santa/St.Nick later.
