Sideshow Horror Originals

[Tbolt]

I think I first learned of Krampus 20 years ago when first getting stationed in Germany. They know how to properly terrify children. Also might account for the tremendous birth rate decline. In any event, I am not sure I ever desired a statue of said character, and now there will be two.

I learned about Krampus when I was researching Christmas traditions. Fun fact most people don't know what the 12 days of Christmas are for or even when they start. This was many years back way before the movie.

The costumes in places that celebrate with Krampus are insane! They could go toe to toe with any Con cosplayers.
Krampus statues sound awesome and the sketches look cool.

It’s great these companies are expanding their licenses/creative offerings. It does remind me of when Mcfarlane toys started moving away from licenses and started creating their own lines.

Let's be real... Most of these secondary events are there to push old inventory out of their warehouse. Events like Sideshow Con, May the Fourth and 12 Days are there to introduce new product. Events like Spooktacular and Geeksgiving are like "Customer Appreciation Events". But all of them serve the purpose of discounting old inventory to make way for new stuff. Monsters and Villians, Bestember, Geek Rewind, etc... They're glorified clearance sales. Some introduce new product, but it isn't expected. Since this is Sideshow's 30th anniversary, there seems to be a push to show new stuff to make it feel like a huge celebration.

Yeah I think this legend would have gave me nightmares as a kid, in the UK we were just told we wouldnt get any toys off Santa Claus if we we naughty not that we would be kidnapped by a giant Goat demon.

Just noticed the childs arm sticking out of his back pack, that's messed up

That was my thought as well, quite curious

Good questions. Definitely a head scratcher.

...Good thing I decided to get the female characters only. Might have to stick to one scale between these two lines as well. Will depend on execution and price....

Agreed. That Wondercon panel middle image shows a Morrison style figure. Not a Medusa. Even the silhouette image from Sideshow (see below), the middle image is the same Morrigan style figure.

I’ll tell you what, if more little kids knew being Naughty would bring this guy around , maybe the world would be a better place. Now we tell them a stupid stuffed Elf is watching them, and they are like ok whatever…lol

Maybe sideshow did the silhouette to throw people off, could the middle image possibly be a combination of two different characters? The hair definitely appears different, and her arm is beside her in the one clear photo, but appears to be behind her head or hair in the silhouette, or maybe it's just the left side of the photo which definitely looks snake like that's making me think there are 2 different characters
