Give Jakks some credit: they were smart enough to give us all three pieces of Leon the Snowman in consecutive days, rather than breaking it up like they did the animal buddies. Day 16 of the Elf Advent Calendar is … Continue reading →

Elf Advent Calendar Day 15: snowman stomach. The clothes are sculpted, rather than just paint, but this is still not fun by itself. You can't even fake it as a standalone piece, because the cane he carries comes down lower … Continue reading →
