New thread for this since it was getting discussed a bit in the Operation Monster Force thread. One of my favorite little lines that I enjoy picking up a new piece for every now and then.

Do you display yours year round or just at Christmas time?
 
I display just at Xmas time (if my wife allows it in the den). I do display my Rankin and Bass Memory Lane year round in my toy room.
 
Same for me right now but I've invested so much money into it with all the reindeer that I'd really love to carve out a spot for it somewhere year round.
 
I have several of the different Santas that I just play around with, but I have the original Santa, and Rudolf in a random display, and the green came Sgt Santa with my Monster Force figures.
 
I only have Santa. He comes out in December and goes away after the holidays. It seems kind of wasteful to display a figure 1/12 of the year, but I can't justify leaving him out permanently.
 
Saying it’s wasteful to display a Christmas themed figure only 1/12 of the year is a bit much. Is it wasteful to only display your Christmas tree 1/12 of the year? Or decorate your lawn for the same amount of time?
 
Wasteful? What’s being wasted? Time? Effort? If you wanna keep Christmas stuff displayed more than one month a year, I’d say that’s up to you. It’s a little tacky and out of place, at least at my house. I’m not gonna leave that stuff out til February. Likewise, I don’t want my Halloween stuff still out in December.

I keep my NoN stuff stored til Thanksgiving, then I display in a small space in our bedroom. I really want a Mrs Claus to finish this off.

I sorta display them year round. I basically have a Christmas display in my basement that's more utilitarian than true display space mostly born out of not wanting to stuff the fragile WDW collectibles and Department 56 stuff away in boxes worrying about them getting damaged during the process. At Christmas time all of this stuff migrates upstairs to the living space where it gets to shine for about 6 weeks before going back down to the cold basement.

As for this line, I current have Santa, Cyborg Santa, Father Frost, and Mall Santa. I also have the original accessory set as well as last year's with the almost blueish white Santa beard head that looks really nice. I preordered Krampustaur, but that's it. The reindeer look okay, but just aren't worth it to me. A well done Mrs. Claus could potentially get me, but for the most part I'm a little worn out on this mold and not interested in more variants. Not all lines need to go on forever.
