Hate to say it, but I'm extremely underwhelmed by these reveals. I get that they're going for as much reuse as possible, but geez...this is a bit much. I like the reindeer, but there is no way I'm spending that much on each to get the full set of Santa's deer.

 

The only one I'm definitely ordering is the "Demon Goat", and that's mainly so he can represent Black Phillip on my horror shelf. 

 

Yeah Reindeer are nice, but like the line really needs to expand if they want it to continue. I know there are Santa collectors out there but IDK. I was hoping for some kinda new body form here with the Halloween wave being heavy reuse (which failed because of it).

YES BLACK PHILLIP FOR THE WIN!
I insist on living life deliciously, so the Great Goat must be mine! Can’t wait to team him up with Monster Force Dracula.
I did also grab the zombie deer because come on I gotta, and also ghost-zombie white Santa and Father Christmas. Oh, and the Wizard, but I might cancel. This wave is less about holiday stuff and more about gross monsters for me.

Agreed. I mean, the third wave is announced and STILL no Mrs. Claus? Plus, I think of the characters they could do that they could even do reuse with them, like Belsnickel or Knecht Ruprecht. Instead, they're offering ANOTHER Sgt. Santa and a Wizard Santa. Baffling.

I'm with you! I'm ALL about Monsters, and I really wish some of the scarier Yule characters would get some figures. I'd love Frau Perchta, the Yule Cat, Klausen, Mari Lwyd, Nuutpuuki, etc. to all be made into figures.

I actually do want the 3.75" Santa, I've been looking for one for a while.  But not until 2025?  Damn, that's a long wait.  

 

Not interested in any of the new 6" figures.  I think once I get the ones I've already got pre-ordered, I'll be good.  I don't need a giant Santa figure collection.

Ordered the Sgt Santa because I regret canceling my preorder, and I can give the cigar head to my regular santa

 

Also grabbed Gorgon the Goat because that'll work with monster force. Maybe halloween boy can ride him into battle

I'm interested in the reindeer this round. However, it's asking a lot. 8 reindeer plus the head accessory set is close to $400. If these fund, I hope they can offer them next year as well. I imagine folks would want to buy two or four at a time.

That being said, I'm in for the demon goat (it's too cool and I hope the flames on the hooves are removable but doesn't seem to be the case), Dasher, and the head accessory pack. I may preorder another two reindeer or so. I'd rather stagger the costs for the reindeer if I decide to try and get the full set.

Wow, I didn't expect anyone to beat me to a Black Phillip reference, let alone two people. I'm likely in for the Demon Goat for the same reason. Black Phillip is still a regular reference in our household.

I'm in for Dasher as well. I'd like to make Rudolph, but A) he was never my favorite, and B) I'm not buying the head pack just for one head.

Father Christmas is my favorite design they've done so far. I think I might've opted for that figure instead of the standard Santa if they offered it the first time. It would've been a nice change of pace from the rest of my Santa decor. I'm not going through the rigamarole of replacing the Santa I have, though.

Well...  this line always tickles me and really gets me wanting to push in.    I like the green Father Christmas look.   I love the Wizard Santa look - that's just so silly.    But my favorite of these reveals is the Winter is Here Santa.   The white coat is so clean and that ice zombie head is pretty funny.

 

I can't imagine having enough space for a full set of Reindeer, but it would be kind of fun to have.   I may spring for one deer for now.   But I think I'll have to grab the demon goat.  He's too much fun not to get.   

 

If I had unlimited space and unlimited money to spend I would be all the way ALL IN on this line.  As is I am super tempted by a bunch but just don't have the display space for like 20 different Santa's.     I have Black Santa,  Robot Santa and I have Barbarian Santa coming...   I hemmed and hawed about the blue costumed Father Christmas and didn't pull the trigger.  It will probably be the same for the green coat and wizard Santa's too...  

 

Even so,  I love these.

I just ordered nine reindeer, a head pack, and a saddle in hopes of winning the lottery sometime next year. 😆

Super excited for reindeer. They look great. Was hoping they’d be the same price as standard figures, but I’ll manage. Figure I’ll get at least 2 of them, but them assigning specific names to each reindeer and head really makes it tempting to try and go all in.

Is the "Rudolph" copyright owned by someone?  I thought it was public domain, but the extra reindeer headpack just says "Red Nose."  But yeah, it's lame you gotta buy the extra headpack and a separate body to build him.  So it would be $70 just to get him.  I'd rather just buy a single body and paint the nose red myself. 

 

How many reindeer does Santa have total, 9?  So if you want to have all 9, you'd have to buy 9 separate bodies at $45 each, and then you'd still have to buy the extra headpack for another $25.

Man, nearly $400 for a full set of reindeer. I'm a fan of Santa, but that's just a bit too much for me. I would buy a single Rudolph, but I'd have to get the head 5pk to do that. There isn't even a sleigh. I preordered the small accessory set a week or two ago, would be thrilled if that showed up before Christmas. I still would definitely buy a Mrs. Claus. Would like to see females and female interpretations mixed into this line soon.

@handsome I mean if you're willing to buy 9 1/12 reindeer I don't think a $7 difference really makes that big of a deal.

 

Also I think the price is fair for the reindeer. They look large and pretty hefty. They also probably won't be able to be reused every year.

I also ordered a full set of reindeer - kind of crazy but so be it. That plus a couple of goats, Santas and elves and somehow they got me to spend another $750 on this line. I am addicted. (I did skip the saddles and the zombie Reindeer and Wizard and Sgt Santa - otherwise would have $1,000....)

I will likely take the extra 4 reindeer heads and mount them on what will be Barbarian Santa's wall as trophies. Or maybe a Krampus' wall. Or maybe Barbarian Santa and the one bare-chested Krampus are working together.

Looking forward to having Father Frost (Blue), Father Christmas (Green), standard Santa (Red) and Winter is Coming Santa (White) next to each other, kind of like the Santa Power Rangers, each with a different staff.
