Good morning everybody,
how are you?
December is approaching and the figures we thought we would offer to our members for the next month are dedicated to the theme of Christmas...but from an un-festive perspective 👿🎄
The theme for the month will be “The Night of the Krampus” and here you can see one of the concepts designed for December by Rafael Marques de Oliveira and a little sneaky peek at the figure.
Want to learn more about the krampus? Krampus are folkloric figures from Alpine traditions, particularly in Austria, Germany, Hungary, and parts of north-east Italy. They are demonic creatures that accompany Saint Nicholas during the Christmas season. While Saint Nicholas rewards good children, Krampus punishes the naughty ones. They are depicted as beings with horns, fur, and fangs, often carrying chains or whips. The figure of Krampus is tied to purification rituals and midwinter celebrations.
More will be coming in December! 🌠
