I've already done a few different styles of St. Nick packages this season but I really like how this one came out for Megospidey! Derek shot me over the Coca-Cola Santa artwork and said he wanted something that didn't shout 70s Mego. A little more in the style of the 40s or 50s sensability. So I hope that's conveyed in the final result.....

Patiently waiting to see Derek's finished figure but I'm thinking this is the type of thing you'd expect to find on a dime store shelf or drug counter "back-in-the-day, back-in-the-day". :wink_y:

love that box. Haddon Sundbloom was a fantastic illustrator. Your design skills are fantastic.

WOW!!!

I can really see this on a vintage drug store shelf, right beside the other classic Christmas decorations. You know, the old multicolored glass balls with silver mirrored inset pieces and frosting. Tinsel, and those big old Christmas lights.

Really cool..and very festive!

Awesome box and cool art, the only thing that bothers me is the Coke bottle.
But seeing that box I want to do a custom Santa even more now, just can't find a suit

I hope the santa will have a bottle of coke. I had some that came from some little coke bears that were plush a long time ago. they were perfect size for mego.

^ Sure Laurie...drop me a PM and we can work something out. I have one of your Santa heads too that I was hoping to finally do something with this year :smiley1: We'll see if time allows it.

The second I find a suit, I'm getting that head from Laurie as well, such a cool Santa head

Speaking of which, since that head doesn't come with a neck post, how do you attach it to the figure?
