KRAMPUS
St Nicholas’ dark shadow is here to bring sorrow to naughty children and their nasty ungrateful families. Behind the sunken, hollow eyes of an old man’s face turned gruesome skin mask, lurks a goat-like monster with cloven hooves, long curved horns and gnarled fingers that reach out and grab.
His patchwork cloak is festooned with chain bells and grime from centuries spent terrorising all those who dare not believe. So what about you? Do you believe in Christmas?
If not, I’d suggest you keep that fire well-stoked.
Sculpted by Lindsey Crummett.

THE CHERUB
Krampus is coming, and he’s left a very special delivery in a grimy sack at the front door. Don’t bring it in because hidden inside are all manner of Christmas beasties, including a cherub who is anything but. This highly detailed collectable was crafted by Weta Workshop sculptor Jane Wenley. Jane worked on aspects of the Cherub puppet used in the film, Krampus’ hooves and the Dark Elf masks. She sculpted this highly detailed piece alongside the actual prop, taking lots of calliper measurements and investigating exactly how the film prop was put together to ensure accuracy and the best possible representation of the character.
Close inspection reveals a cracked face, bloodshot eyes, sharp teeth, beastly eagle talons and clawed feet: details that cut right through this characters cute first appearances. Make no mistake, this not a creature you want to meet in the dark attic on a cold Christmas Eve.
Don’t go up there.

THE DARK ELF
Bolt the doors and block the chimney because Krampus is here, and he’s brought with him his team of happy Christmas Elves. These creepy holiday henchmen take great joy in their work. Giggling and laughing as they wrap and trap their victims in chains and bells.
Crafted by Weta Workshop sculptor Jamie Beswarick this unsettling cloaked character features a plague mask and a rusty bone saw with rubber duckies on its leather strap. And on his belt? A solitary candy cane. But that’s just for nice children. Naughty children better watch out.
Which side of the list are you on?
