I think he comes with the perfect accessories tbh. I think a weapon would have been much unless it was a candy cane because its classic santa. The gimmick ones come with weapons which is perfect for those ones
I held off on these to see what they looked like, but now I might have to track down a classic Santa or get some of these guys even after Christmas. I know 4 Horsemen did their Father Christmas but that's more of a historical St. Nick while this is the more modern Santa.
The sgt santa has weapons, but if you get the accessory pack it comes with a candy cane, and the elves all have candy cane accessories as well. Great figure, crazy how a bulky figure like this has better leg range than most marvel legends spider man figs
They went and updated the picture after the figure was released. All the promo shots had a white bearded Santa. After the figure started shipping and people noticed the beard was more yellow, the pictures were updated to reflect the actual color of the beard. That was the first thing I noticed after I saw people posting their pics. All of a sudden, a few days after release, the pics on BBTS show a yellow beard. Not a deal breaker for me, but I agree with Anthony about touching it up.
I took a chance and got the Zombie Santa, but I may see if I can get classic Santa. I already have the Four Horsemen version, but with both versions, I can have them fight each other.😆
Definitely like this line, I did purchase this figure and the Commando Santa which go nicely with the wife’s Christmas decorations during the holidays, I am also really looking forward to the next wave of figures at the end of this year, should be another nice assortment
@@AnthonysCustoms you are right that the beard is a little off being so Blonde instead of how it should really look. Thankfully they are re-issuing this figure for a December release as well as the Jolly Santa and it looks like they fixed the color issues on both the figures. Never thought I would collect a holiday themed figure line but they are pretty cool figures and a nice joyous addition to the collection, will you be getting the reissue?
I’m really enjoying the two Santas I got (this and the Cyborg). My main criticism is he has the finger pointing hand to “lay a finger beside his nose” but doesn’t have the range to pull that off. And I don’t like the blond beard. I don’t think anyone does and I wish they didn’t make that change during production. I haven’t decided if I’m going to repaint it or not. The Cyborg Santa is pretty cool too, they even gave him the proper hinge for his trigger hand, though the shotgun he comes with is too loose. Makes me wish I could have scored one of those cheap Walgreens Jigsaws just for the weapons. And for anyone curious, you can get away with using Legends hands with this guy.
I love this guy more than I was expecting honestly. I got him and the cyborg santa, I'm sold on buying more of the other odd ones. I don't get why they made him more blonde. The cyborg santa's beard is white like the packaging so someone made that change at the last minute. Very weird.
He's a great looking classic Santa. I just wish he had a little better articulation on the arm so he can put his finger beside his nose. Other than that I plan to display this guy with a bottle of Coke.
I picked up the Figa Obsura Father Christmas from Four Horsemen and he’s a great Santa figure, I’ve got the military Monkey Fiction Santa from Big Bad Toy Store can’t wait to see what he’s like
In FMF’s defense, the beard was shown to be that yellowish color in the promotional images on BBTS. It wasn’t the white/grey color that’s on the back of the box. Have a Merry Christmas, Anthony! Thanks for all of the great reviews this year.
@@AnthonysCustoms Correct. That promo image with a yellow beard is new and was updated on bbts AFTER the figure started shipping. I am 100% sure of this, because I've been watching and waiting for this release like an addict, lol. Studying promo pics trying to decide which ones to buy.
8/10 from Anthony's Customs is great. And we'll deserved for a brand new (I think) company, HASBEEN could take a few notes,glad they don't have the Santa Claus license or they would muck that all up. I'll potentially be getting the Barbarian Santa next year,and I'll pull the trigger on this version if he's in stock at BBST
I was very interested until I saw that it is not how it was advertised. Very misleading. But overall great figure. Just have to pass. Hope they will make one that matches the actual picture 👍
I feel the beard is fine but a lot of the basic artwork depicts this Santa with a white beard. The Reissue for 2023 has images of Santa with the white beard. That's deceptive, any reasonable person would assume the beard is white. As far as I can tell, you can't get a classic face white bearded Santa except the Great Northern for 2023. Some of the others aren't exactly evil but dark(okay Gremlin is probably evil). Also Krampus not a bad guy. The two are actually friends.......when Santa can't be seen doing the dirty work. So I don't think this Santa needs to be combat oriented or more specifically combat oriented Santa's are coming later. The next batch if funded have wizard staffs, axes, bats, brass knuckles, maple syrup..... My only disappointment with the line is the lack of diversity. The did Jolly Santa.........and that's it.
Darwin photoshoot is officially my most anticipated part of your video now🤣
You know there's a problem when Santa has better articulation on the legs than most Marvel Legends.
Yeah, a problem with your eyes
@@commandershepaaarrrdwrex2881got his ass
@@imnotsickler Rude, but I guess it's partly my fault, I should have said hips instead of legs.
That's my bad lol.
I can't believe I'm actually considering getting a Santa action figure.
I didn’t think I wanted or needed a Santa figure but this thing looks cool enough to grab.
Just looked at them, totally getting that Mall Santa lol!
Been really excited about this line
for what it's worth, the reissue of this, on preorder at BBTS right now, is set to have a white beard. Confirmed by the FMF guy
I think he comes with the perfect accessories tbh. I think a weapon would have been much unless it was a candy cane because its classic santa. The gimmick ones come with weapons which is perfect for those ones
Yeah, no weapon shouldn't detract from the figure. However, I think he needs a bag to complete the look.
@@WiGgYof09 that is a good point! totally needs a bag
..this is a good figure. I got the Jolly Santa and I'm loving it! I pre ordered a while back and have no regrets at all!
I held off on these to see what they looked like, but now I might have to track down a classic Santa or get some of these guys even after Christmas.
I know 4 Horsemen did their Father Christmas but that's more of a historical St. Nick while this is the more modern Santa.
Nice. I just per-ordered mine lol. Good review.
The sgt santa has weapons, but if you get the accessory pack it comes with a candy cane, and the elves all have candy cane accessories as well. Great figure, crazy how a bulky figure like this has better leg range than most marvel legends spider man figs
Very cool! I might have to get this. I've never had a Santa action figure. Wish it was 7"/though to go with my 7" collection.
Definitive Santa lmao
Absolutely love the Darwin measurement scale.
I appreciate this review, as I’m considering getting the Father Winter (I think that’s what it’s called) and maybe the Mall Santa lol
Merry Christmas AnthonyCustoms
Can't wait to get this. Sitting in my loot now.
Merry Christmas Bro, I hope u reach 200,000 subs
Thank Christmas Darwin made an appearance. Just think, if this was an ML it would be a Deluxe....or a BAF. Have a Merry Christmas.
Awesome review, merry christmas Anthony! 🎄
Looking at the BBTS link, they appear to have 2 Classic Santa's. The blonde beard one is the original and the white beard is the re-issue.
The it's the same artwork for both.
They went and updated the picture after the figure was released. All the promo shots had a white bearded Santa. After the figure started shipping and people noticed the beard was more yellow, the pictures were updated to reflect the actual color of the beard. That was the first thing I noticed after I saw people posting their pics. All of a sudden, a few days after release, the pics on BBTS show a yellow beard.

I got Krampus and have zombie/evil santa on the way. They're great figures.
If u decide to part ways,ill buy him off you lol. Great review as always 🤙🏼
Definitely like this line, I did purchase this figure and the Commando Santa which go nicely with the wife’s Christmas decorations during the holidays, I am also really looking forward to the next wave of figures at the end of this year, should be another nice assortment
How do you feel about the beard color?
@@AnthonysCustoms you are right that the beard is a little off being so Blonde instead of how it should really look.

Probably
I didn't see this coming 😄 I might pull the trigger on one.
I hope neca or some company eventually do a David harbor Santa from violent night🙏🏻
Lol I can’t think of a worse beating than a candy caning from Santa Claus. Merry Christmas Anthony 🎄❤️❤️
Glad to see I'm not the only one who was bugged about the change in hair color. Still a good fig though.
Happy holidays do you plan on reviewing any of the Mafex terminator figures?
T2
3:35 are the feet backwards?
I think it's just the sculpt and the angle of the shot but I'll check

Dope review
Cant go wrong with the jolly green(but red) giant
I have the Dark Krampus and I lost his cup instantly 😄 the accessories are tiny.
Why can he kick out to the side farther than any Hasbro Spider-Man lol
Santa solos
Give him some Valaverse guns. Go full Weird Al with it.
I love this guy more than I was expecting honestly. I got him and the cyborg santa, I'm sold on buying more of the other odd ones.
I don't get why they made him more blonde. The cyborg santa's beard is white like the packaging so someone made that change at the last minute. Very weird.
Should have come with a sack full of gifts
It's very nice will you be reviewing the others? 9.5/10 I may get the artest proof
The beard isn’t blonde. It’s Marlboro Mall Santa, complete with yellow tobacco stained beard!
He's a great looking classic Santa. I just wish he had a little better articulation on the arm so he can put his finger beside his nose. Other than that I plan to display this guy with a bottle of Coke.
Why cant they have the grinch
holy fucking santa claus
I picked up the Figa Obsura Father Christmas from Four Horsemen and he’s a great Santa figure, I’ve got the military Monkey Fiction Santa from Big Bad Toy Store can’t wait to see what he’s like
In FMF’s defense, the beard was shown to be that yellowish color in the promotional images on BBTS. It wasn’t the white/grey color that’s on the back of the box.

Not originally. Not the photos i saw.
@@AnthonysCustoms Correct. That promo image with a yellow beard is new and was updated on bbts AFTER the figure started shipping. I am 100% sure of this, because I've been watching and waiting for this release like an addict, lol. Studying promo pics trying to decide which ones to buy.
Yey
No fist hands for Santa to beatsome niceness into people or some coal? Neat figure though
Should’ve put Darwin on his lap 💀
8/10 from Anthony's Customs is great.
And we'll deserved for a brand new (I think) company, HASBEEN could take a few notes,glad they don't have the Santa Claus license or they would muck that all up.
I'll potentially be getting the Barbarian Santa next year,and I'll pull the trigger on this version if he's in stock at BBST

Darwin is being a pest... again.
These look cheap and lack articulation. It’s a shame. The photoshopped pics looked great. But they failed with the final product.
