Well that ending didn't surprise me. Which is a good thing, the way I imagined it was how I wanted it to go. Though the hanging Santa I did not anticipate, that was a nice touch. Good job Stuart :)
The leaf faces were the good guys all along....they were trying to stop Santa before the madness kicked in Too late to save their woodland friends at least they were on time to spare the rest of the world....
I feel as though Ashens was somehow associated with the Leaf-Mask cult. He never questioned the disappearance of the deer. He never wondered where the masks went. They were just pawns in Ashen's evil plan to eliminate Santa so that there could be no more advent calendars.
The...the GrassMasks were actually GOOD? They avenged the Angel and all the animals murdered on the 24th of December 2013 ...they knew what madness had been unfolding in the depths of Santas mind...they knew he would never be seen...but they seen.....oh how they seen.
+bloodyhell If they'd intervened beforehand, we'd have hated them for killing poor innocent santa. You have to let them commit the crime before you can judge them for it.
I, for one, accept our grass overlords, and beg for forgivement, as I, like everyone else, is but merely a construct, sinful, and misinformed. All hail grass masks. Also our robot overlords. Did you know we're in the matrix?
"Tell you what I really wish I'd bought, actually. Later on in the year, I discovered there's a fake Lego brand that do their own Advent Calendar, would have been far better and more amusing." Be careful what you wish for...
What a beautiful Christmas scene at the end there. That's a story to tell your young cousin, pet, niece/nephew or even your child, so that they may be scarred for life, and tell others.
Just coming back to say that when I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday, they had this advent calendar for 50% off. And I nearly set it on fire, there in the store, because you taught me the preemptive lesson.
I was hoping for the revelation that the bale of grass actually WAS a god, and that for ignoring it it would rain fire and brimstone upon the woodland creatures.
I LOVE this set!!! I got one for the kids yesterday after my friend told me about a sale, but now I want one for myself! I love that it's not all X-mas because the kids won't want to play with X-mas toys all year, but they LOVE little animals year-round! By the way, the kids call the angel a fairy and use her bowl to serve water to the animals. Cute! They took off Santa's hat and beard and use him as just a man who takes care of the animals.
Dang, I was hoping for an entire nativity scene. You could have drilled a hole in her back side and stuck her on the tree as well. Except you let THAT happen and now I'll have nightmares. Anyway, Merry Christmas.
I'm glad the grass masks exacted revenge for Father Christmas's slaughtering of the woodland creatures. I guess they aren't so evil after all. Merry Christmas kids!
It's actually pretty funny, my video stopped and the audio looped right after "... and a tree", and the loop started at "... with farther christmas tacked on". So I heard "... and a tree with farther christmas tacked on." That Loop was a prophecy!
My home lays silent My children and wife slain and sacrificed to a plastic god There was no rapture There is no apocalypse nor will there ever be The evil I wanted to save them from was but myself I am the devil I fear And as the black eyes outside the window peer infinitely into ever deeper I stand reddened having learned so little with such a high cost yet only this rings true I paid thirty bucks for this shit #playmobil #bestadventever
OOZ662 Took me years to find that out. Growing up I always got 25 or 31/32 day ones until a few years ago when I got my first 24 day one and was pretty confused by the whole thing. Sigh. They just don't make them like they used to.
The kids get at least 5 or 6 proper presents on the 25th if they celebrate american style christmas. Also, in lots of other countries presents are exchanged on christmas eve, the 24th.
The angel is a child because Playmobil is a German company, and the traditional "Christkind" is actually depicted by a child or young girl/woman dressed up as an angel with a crown. The Weihnachtsmann (closest figure to Santa) and the Christkind are both established Christmas figures in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other European countries, and there's the also established, much older figure of Nikolaus too, but that would mean looking way too far into the matter. The importance of each figure fluctuates depending on the region you live (usually coming down to the question which one will bring the presents).
Weihnachtsmann IS Santa Claus. Nikolaus is just Saint Nicholas, the actual historical template for Santa Claus. And the Christkind is weird. It was basically invented by Luther as the "Protestant Santa Claus" or something (because Luther apparently hated St. Nick I guess). I don't get it or see the point, and I AM a protestant o_O
And with their duty fulfilled, the silent but deadly grass masks escape to the world to wreak chaos and poorly-directed vigilante justice. And also to show up in the background occasionally doing creepy stuff.
Jokes aside, my little brother would have loved this calendar. He loved little animal and food figurines as a little kid. Which was annoying/amusing for our parents. Big sis liked hot wheels and GI Joes. Little bro liked woodland critters and easy bake ovens.
Why did I get a vibe of the Weeping Angels at the end of the video? Ah well, Merry Christmas to all and may we never see another biting playmobiel nativity scene again, unless if it gets worked over by Ashens.
+Snowjix Actually he can. You just have drag yourself back into reality and stop fangirling over a piece of plastic that vaguely resembles a face, if you squint at it and _realllly_ tell yourself that you're seeing a face. No. There shall be no fun allowed on the internet.
Well, that was bizarre. Fantastic but bizarre. Of all things Christmas, THIS is the sort of thing that's made me look into buying a colander like this for next year.
"Hahaha" Ashens declares the German "Christkind" ("Christ-Child = fairy-angel-child like figure) as a "midget with wings". How dare you! The Christkind is the traditional gift-bringer at Christmas in the European regions North and East of the Alps, whereas Santa Claus comes at the 6th of December as Saint Nicholas and brings nothing more than nuts, oranges and biscuits for the good children and the rod for the bad ones. I love that the German manufacturer Playmobil respects this tradition. (Though the Playmobil Saint Nicholas looks a bit too Santa'ish as he wears a silly fluffy hat instead of a mitre.) But maybe we were all wrong and the Grassmasks are the true gift-bringer around Christmas.
Lucky us there were no spoilers. Also the dots on the angel make up a creepy smiley :) Grassmasks did justice yay. Speaking of blowtorch, maybe better than hanging so to be sure zombie Santa will not eat our brains instead of cookies?
my favourite part of this is how blatantly they've reused previous molds from earlier sets. i have that exact santa and that exact angel in a cupboard somewhere from when i was a kid well over ten years ago. fucking incredible.
Not the most xmas themed advent calendar but I guess they don't need to be, I did like it overall though and could see the pieces being fun to use with other sets and what not. I never even thought a company like playmobile would make an advent calendar.
Poor Ashens, I bet he's as traumatized as the cheap ass angel he got where ever he got it in his one review, Maybe they should make an advent calendar theme of a Christmas carol.
Well that ending didn't surprise me. Which is a good thing, the way I imagined it was how I wanted it to go. Though the hanging Santa I did not anticipate, that was a nice touch. Good job Stuart :)
Hmm...very David Lynch's 'Rabbits' at the end there
The rabbits names are actually horseface amd facehorse. Stuart is very in tune with the Lynchian mind.
The leaf faces were the good guys all along....they were trying to stop Santa before the madness kicked in
Too late to save their woodland friends at least they were on time to spare the rest of the world....
"There's a fake lego brand... it would've been so much better!"
If only he knew...
I feel as though Ashens was somehow associated with the Leaf-Mask cult.
He never questioned the disappearance of the deer. He never wondered where the masks went.
They were just pawns in Ashen's evil plan to eliminate Santa so that there could be no more advent calendars.
That finale was fucking brilliant. Merry Grassmas!
Merry Christmas every one!
"I've just found out there was a knock off Lego advent I wish I'd got that now!"
Do you still wish that Stuart?
Only Ashens can create a great plot twist using cheap toys.
I hope to see Grassmasks crossover on every "blowtorch" scene from now on
"A fake Lego set" you said. "More amusing" you said. Well look at the Block Tech calendar now, nice one Ashens.
The...the GrassMasks were actually GOOD? They avenged the Angel and all the animals murdered on the 24th of December 2013 ...they knew what madness had been unfolding in the depths of Santas mind...they knew he would never be seen...but they seen.....oh how they seen.
They knew, but Odidn't intervene. What cowardly shits.
+bloodyhell If they'd intervened beforehand, we'd have hated them for killing poor innocent santa. You have to let them commit the crime before you can judge them for it.
RUN!!! THE GRASS MASKS ARE COMING FOR US!!
Ronwe TheFallen
They have a puppeteer?
The plot thickens.
CinderBlock331 It's Ashens! Ashens is the one you want!! It's definitely not me *shifty eyes*
HELP THEY GOT MEEE!!!!!!!!
***** Rabbits first!
I, for one, accept our grass overlords, and beg for forgivement, as I, like everyone else, is but merely a construct, sinful, and misinformed. All hail grass masks. Also our robot overlords. Did you know we're in the matrix?
I'd love to see the face of someone who randomly walks into your house and see's you talking to toys, saying "Their all dead" while recording it.
When you look back at this calendar after watching some of those you opened with Dan, this Playmobil one looks pretty impressive.
Getting plastic carrots in an advent calendar will still not be terrible though XD
I hope the grass masks become an Ashens regular
Hello from 8 years later. You are correct
damn the nostalgia, can't believe it's been 8 years
"Tell you what I really wish I'd bought, actually. Later on in the year, I discovered there's a fake Lego brand that do their own Advent Calendar, would have been far better and more amusing."
Be careful what you wish for...
EVERYONE, I'm from the future! You have to stop the Grass Masks before they lynch Fat- OH NO...WE'RE TOO LATE! FORGIVE ME CONNOR!
They are back.. MAN YOUR STATIONS!
launch...well i dont know.. fire at them!this is like our only chance to kill them FOREVER
What a beautiful Christmas scene at the end there. That's a story to tell your young cousin, pet, niece/nephew or even your child, so that they may be scarred for life, and tell others.
Just coming back to say that when I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday, they had this advent calendar for 50% off. And I nearly set it on fire, there in the store, because you taught me the preemptive lesson.
I was hoping for the revelation that the bale of grass actually WAS a god, and that for ignoring it it would rain fire and brimstone upon the woodland creatures.
Keep the grass masks as a running gag
You got your wish ! :D
I LOVE this set!!! I got one for the kids yesterday after my friend told me about a sale, but now I want one for myself!
I love that it's not all X-mas because the kids won't want to play with X-mas toys all year, but they LOVE little animals year-round! By the way, the kids call the angel a fairy and use her bowl to serve water to the animals. Cute! They took off Santa's hat and beard and use him as just a man who takes care of the animals.
Lemaili doe I got it at a different sale, the one Cyan told me about. THanks though.
Now you're welcome. ;)
We love ours, too!
Did your kids have the Grass Masks abduct the fawn and turn him into one of them?
GRASS MASK: YOU RULE THE UNIVERSE!
Since I like South Park, I already knew that Santa would kill all the critters. Liked the grass mask twist though.
I think the grass masks should have there own spin off series
"I won't spoil it for You,but it's an Angel"
Ahh ass henns you always can make my day
'What, you were expecting Father Christmas?'
'Oh no, I'm FARMER Christmas...'
Merry Christmas Stuart and subscribers!
Had such a good time with this thank you for putting such effort into making such a crappy advent calendar so very entertaining
Dang, I was hoping for an entire nativity scene.
You could have drilled a hole in her back side and stuck her on the tree as well.
Except you let THAT happen and now I'll have nightmares.
Anyway, Merry Christmas.
Grassmasks were the good guys all along!
What a twist
I'm glad he clarified which Geordi La Forge he meant, there's so many Geordi La Forge's with eye visors in the media that it can get a bit confusing.
They're everywhere O_O !
Well, if one had never watched Star Trek: The Next Generation, one would likely have been confused.
That was a wonderful ending after spending 24 days waiting to see what the full set would consist of.
THE NIGHT SANTA WENT CRAZY!!!
+Andrew Leeman Walker omg thank you for that reference you are the best
Thanks, Ashens. Thashens.
I wonder who else got the _Look Around You_ reference.
What, no grass mask avatars?
Also, I really feel like this set needs a blowtorch special.
Did you not watch the end?
Crystion
I would prefer to actually see the fire as opposed to just listening to an ominous burning sound effect.
Eadmund Isen-Healf your never fucking happy are you, "urg no grass mask guys" urg there wasnt any fire in the video"
Do I know you or something? You're speaking as if you've seen a similar comment from me before.
no im speaking as that you just complained about something, had that complaint solved and then....COMPLAINED ABOUT ANOTHER FUCKING THING
The grass masks were on the side of justice the whole time
Then why did they assimilate the mother deer and the little one?
They saw their heroic potential.
the grass masks killed Santa
I love the storyline you opening tat and don't know what's happening in the background
I waited until the wee small hours to enjoy this finale! It was worth it!
Merry Christmas!
I'm glad the grass masks exacted revenge for Father Christmas's slaughtering of the woodland creatures. I guess they aren't so evil after all. Merry Christmas kids!
It's actually pretty funny, my video stopped and the audio looped right after "... and a tree", and the loop started at "... with farther christmas tacked on". So I heard "... and a tree with farther christmas tacked on." That Loop was a prophecy!
The fucking end was the funniest shit I've seen in a while.
My home lays silent
My children and wife slain and sacrificed to a plastic god
There was no rapture
There is no apocalypse
nor will there ever be
The evil I wanted to save them from was but myself
I am the devil I fear
And as the black eyes outside the window peer
infinitely into ever deeper
I stand reddened having learned so little
with such a high cost
yet only this rings true
I paid thirty bucks for this shit
#playmobil #bestadventever
Perfect grass mask ending if I do say so my self!
Why is there no toy for day 25 - ACTUAL CHRISTMAS?
That's how advent calendars work.
OOZ662
Took me years to find that out. Growing up I always got 25 or 31/32 day ones until a few years ago when I got my first 24 day one and was pretty confused by the whole thing. Sigh. They just don't make them like they used to.
***** which countries are these?
The kids get at least 5 or 6 proper presents on the 25th if they celebrate american style christmas.
Also, in lots of other countries presents are exchanged on christmas eve, the 24th.
Ghlargh "american style" Fuck off. Not everything comes from america
What an ending!
I think ashens went slightly insane
Have you seen his Draw my Life?
SamManSamNDTY oh yeah, I forgot about that
The angel is a child because Playmobil is a German company, and the traditional "Christkind" is actually depicted by a child or young girl/woman dressed up as an angel with a crown.

And the Christkind is weird. It was basically invented by Luther as the "Protestant Santa Claus" or something (because Luther apparently hated St. Nick I guess). I don't get it or see the point, and I AM a protestant o_O
Why didn't you burn it all? Would have made decent firewood
Playmobil is expensive as fuck, he probably sold it all.
And with their duty fulfilled, the silent but deadly grass masks escape to the world to wreak chaos and poorly-directed vigilante justice. And also to show up in the background occasionally doing creepy stuff.
Thank you, Ashens! This was fun to follow every day. Merry Christmas, and a Happy 2014.
Looks like someone put Santa on their naughty list.
I don't think that's an angel: I think that's what a female of the Hawk Men from Flash Gordon must look like
Jokes aside, my little brother would have loved this calendar. He loved little animal and food figurines as a little kid. Which was annoying/amusing for our parents. Big sis liked hot wheels and GI Joes. Little bro liked woodland critters and easy bake ovens.
i used to like woodland critters, easy bake ovens and hotwheels. really makes you think
This must be what the Angel with the thousand mile stare saw.
Anyone else getting headaches from watching this all the way to the end...?
And the mystery of the grass masks remains exactly that; a mystery...
Why did I get a vibe of the Weeping Angels at the end of the video? Ah well, Merry Christmas to all and may we never see another biting playmobiel nativity scene again, unless if it gets worked over by Ashens.
the child masquerading as an angel is the "Christkind", German for the Christ Child, who turns up on the 24th and brings everybody presents.
if you ever do another movie you have to have the Grass Mask twins in it
omg best plot twist ever, i cant believe that the grass masks, which were presumed evil were in fact the restorers of justice
that last part was my favorite out of the whole series. I guess father Christmas didn't get away completely unharmed after all. lol
OMG! the ending was awesome! I've been wondering about the evil grass masked figures I kept seeing blinking in and out in the videos.
So happy the masks finally took their revenge!
are we not going to mention his other video "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe"?
no
I guess that video expresses Ashen's feelings about this advent clendar. I know it expresses mine...
Its a clip from his christmas special on his main channel
I'd actually get this as an advent calendar because I found it quite adorable
The hanging movement was actually way more creapier than the idea of Santa being killed.
5:10...BROTHER I WILL FIND YOU
loved the ending! Merry Christmas Stuart :D
Well this was more exciting than 2015's 👍
+Johnny AFC We haven't seen the end of 2015 yet!
yep this one was more exciting lol
+Johnny AFC pretty much yeah, Dan is awesome, but he just cant beat the GrassMask Cult and the Raging Barbarian we call Santa Claus. :D
+Snowjix Actually he can.
You just have drag yourself back into reality and stop fangirling over a piece of plastic that vaguely resembles a face, if you squint at it and _realllly_ tell yourself that you're seeing a face.
No. There shall be no fun allowed on the internet.
The grass masked men have dispatched justice!!! Merry Christmas.
Well, that was bizarre. Fantastic but bizarre. Of all things Christmas, THIS is the sort of thing that's made me look into buying a colander like this for next year.
Strydar I bought a colander at Tamworth yesterday. (Obscure Two Ronnies reference.)
Epic twist! The Grass Masks were the good guys the whole time.
apparently Santa now owns the lance of longinus...
Th deer have been upgraded. The Grass Mask Gods will have their day.
Ive been waiting all series for the last 7 seconds of this 😂
"Look I'm cute, give me coins!"
I was having a pretty shitty Christmas not being able to sleep and all But Ashens you made my Christmas thank you.
"Hahaha" Ashens declares the German "Christkind" ("Christ-Child = fairy-angel-child like figure) as a "midget with wings". How dare you! The Christkind is the traditional gift-bringer at Christmas in the European regions North and East of the Alps, whereas Santa Claus comes at the 6th of December as Saint Nicholas and brings nothing more than nuts, oranges and biscuits for the good children and the rod for the bad ones. I love that the German manufacturer Playmobil respects this tradition. (Though the Playmobil Saint Nicholas looks a bit too Santa'ish as he wears a silly fluffy hat instead of a mitre.) But maybe we were all wrong and the Grassmasks are the true gift-bringer around Christmas.
Love the ending... I was wondering what he was planning with the grass masks.
Oh, I love that ending! All hail the grass masks.
Lucky us there were no spoilers. Also the dots on the angel make up a creepy smiley :) Grassmasks did justice yay. Speaking of blowtorch, maybe better than hanging so to be sure zombie Santa will not eat our brains instead of cookies?
Even Santa cannot escape the all seeing, all knowing grass mask Gods. Beware.
That ending is the best thing I have ever seen
It's like the Phantasm Christmas Special.
Well... that was pretty dark
The Grass Mask guys are like Ghost Rider or Krampus. They come for evil people.
I think Father Christmas and his woodland friends need to be introduced to Mr. Blowtorch.
Video preview already spoiled it, Thanks a lot ashens.
lol, i was hoping for shit to burn at the end, but that ending was far more hilarious and gratifying.
OH MY GOD! The Grass mask Ghosts killed Santa!
Merry Christmas.
I have to hand it to you, Dr. Ashen, you managed to make this piece of shit interesting.
my favourite part of this is how blatantly they've reused previous molds from earlier sets. i have that exact santa and that exact angel in a cupboard somewhere from when i was a kid well over ten years ago. fucking incredible.
That was absolutely terrifying.
Haha this was a great series, ending was awesome :)
I concur
😲
Ashens has had too much fun with this.
BURN IT ALL. LET IT BURN. BURN BURN!!!!!!!!
Not the most xmas themed advent calendar but I guess they don't need to be, I did like it overall though and could see the pieces being fun to use with other sets and what not. I never even thought a company like playmobile would make an advent calendar.
Poor Ashens, I bet he's as traumatized as the cheap ass angel he got where ever he got it in his one review, Maybe they should make an advent calendar theme of a Christmas carol.
So this is what the angel was staring lifelessly at
Ahh man I was seriously hoping for the blowtorch at the end.
