Also, my order for 2x Barbarians (plus another figure and a horse) just shipped!

My Gawrychh and Poxxus weapons pack from their in stock sale should be here today. Amazing how an item ordered from Poland ON THE SAME DAY already arrived.

I hope it is Christmas Present for those of you getting all of them, but I'm likely skipping it, since I also skipped Christmas Past last year.

(also, how much you wanna bet the rest of the Christmas Carol ghost are coming and Cornboy screamed “YOU DON’T KNOW US!!!” to cover their tracks. “HAHA! We are doing a Christmas drop! GOTCHA, BINCHES!!!! Also please no pre-orders and in stocks items in the same order!”)

CALLED IT!!!!

Also only one drop with no sales limits, learned their lesson from Jersey Devil just sitting for 24 hours, then coming back for a week, then “because people asked” coming back and again and just sitting after the Barbarian sold out… if you don’t get him in this one time limit sale, you’ll have to wait for him to show up every in stock sale for next four years to get your chance!!!

(I say any of this like I’m not setting an alarm for 6am again to buy it first thing and then watch Dork Lair’s preview video…)
 
Yep, that’s how my Figura event plans go as well. I wouldn’t be too concerned about getting in right at the launch if I wasn’t interested in the all-in items. I’ve got the pins and mugs for all of them so I’m pretty committed to them at this point haha.

But I remember after Krampus sellout so quickly that there was some real panic when Headless Horsemen and Father Christmas went up that they would sell out within minutes too (and not just the all ins). Glad those are behind us and these linger a bit more. I’ve got a second Jersey Devil coming but didn’t think I needed until I got the first in hand so there is some benefit to these having later drops after the first wave of orders arrive in hand.
 
Missing the Barbarian put a bad taste in my mouth. I had psyched myself up for an end of year purchase. Oh well. I’m over it. Hopefully Boss Fights offering us as enjoyable as Red Sonya.

Ghost of Christmas Present. I’m excited for. Makes me wonder if they do two pack with Scrooge, Tombstone, and Ghost of Christmas Past. Scrooge of course would allow for the miser, the scared old man, and the redeemed happy Scrooge with alternate head portraits. Anyway. We’ll see. To me the ghosts are capped off as they offer a great Scrooge too.

I hope Present is a big ole boy and has that awesome happy face portrait. I hope there’s a huge soft goods robe. I hope he’s decked out with Christmas treats. I’m getting kind of jazzed the more I think about it.

Thwipp!
 
THE MOUSE KING? What the fuuuuuuuuck!

Money saved. Back to sleep.
I guess I’ll pay attention again to 4H when Qio is offered. Otherwise no purchases from me.

Thwipp!
 
Pretty rad, looks creepy and badass. Definitely not something I need, but looking forward to pics. Teaser for The Nutcracker in one of the pics, too. So i guess we know next year's...
 
Wow! Partly mad and disappointed we didn’t get the next Carol figure but I can’t deny he isn’t an interesting figure. Wonder if that means we’re getting the Nutcracker next year and might not see the Carol line up completed for several more years now. Sigh.
 
Well that was out of left field. Think I’m gonna pass. Now I don’t regret my Naughty Or Nice Father Christmas compensation!
 
I’m not angry, but that’s a pretty lousy thing to do. Even the teaser image of Christmas presents made it seem like we were getting what we expected. I’m not getting this one.
 
I get they’re artist and they don’t want to be painted into a corner. They even let us know at Legions Con they didn’t like Figura Obscura being predictable. It was a rude tease though. So coupling the Barbarian disappointment with this fake out I’m feeling kind of lousy toward the Horsemen right now. I’m not hard core. I dabble in their line. I give them a few hundred of my dollars while I give Hasbro hundreds more. We buy for our interest and I’m soured to their brand now. When the big bear and the dwarves come I’ll be happier. But now I just feel punked on.

Thwipp!
