I don't know if it's an error or if anyone but me noticed, but initially on BBTS one of the reveals for the anniversary was clearly a new Santa with the Winter is Here hood, but now that silhouette is missing from the remaining reveals... the Monster Force military guy is still there though...
Robo’s got a look at all the new stuff.
I’ve got two reindeer ordered, but may end up with more. But Robo may have sold me on a Sgt Santa. That face painted head is pretty awesome.
And hey! What a day for N&N! Because wave 4 is up for preorder! A couple centaurs! A sleigh! And some horrifying looking kids!

I was out on the reindeer so I have no use for a $70 sleigh, but that Krampus centaur thing is pretty damn cool. I don't know if it's 50 bucks cool, but if I get anything from this wave it will be that.
I was looking at those kids wondering if they had use as custom fodder - but the smiles on those guys are pure nightmare fuel man.
Still tempted to build my Mighty Morphin Santa Rangers team... there's Red (obvs), Green, Blue, White - and I could maybe use the extra head from Green on the Black suited Krampus (plus some flesh tone hands) to do a Black... I don't have anywhere to put them, and I'm not sure my wife would let me put 'em out in the living room with the 'regular' Christmas decorations...
Not really sold on the new wave. The kids are interesting, and I might grab one or two to have terrorized by Krampus (love that they come with crying heads). The centaurs are just a really weird choice...I would much rather have had some actual Yuletide folklore characters like Mari Lwyd or the Yule Cat in the line than Santa and Krampus mashed together with other mythical creatures. I do really like the head sculpt for the Krampus Centaur, and part of me is tempted to get him just to use that head on other customs. Still, if this keeps the line going, then great. Still can't believe they haven't done a traditional St. Nicholas or a Juulipuuki yet.
I find the kids an odd choice, you can't really army build them and not sure why anyone would want to.* I say this as a huge supporter of this line, this seems like a misfire when you had snowmen and gingerbread men sidekicks that could be pirate, zombie, military and cyborg -ified. I am also surprised at no Mrs Claus, in the same 4 or 5 styles.
I will order the sleigh. I might get the Centaur Santa.
My plans for the MMSR:
Krampus w/basic Santa head (Black)
Jolly (Red)
Father Frost (Blue)
Winter w/translucent blue head from Father Frost (White)
Father Christmas (Green)
Will post once wave 3 arrives...
*Maybe the crying versions of the kids in some cage/jail after being captured by Krampus and the Gremlin King and the gremlin elves and demon goats....? Even I think that might be a little dark...
Most tempting thing about the kids are the different accessories, tough though at $30 a figure.
The kids being $30 seems off. A bit high for being so much smaller than a regular Santa figure being...what...$40? A bunch of kids could be fund for scenes with other lines. But they're too much money.
I like the Krampus centaur. Kind of a fun goatman figure.
I have some reindeer on preorder, so maybe I'll go for the sleigh. It's a long ways off, so there's no harm to put in a preorder for it. Plenty of time to change my mind.
I'm not into this line at all but that Kramputaur is awesome! might buy him, my cup of tea.
