Hopefully we will see the return of the lovely goat mould soon in a official Lego set I'm trying to include different santas from around the world

The nearest is the Irish Leprechaun. A nisse likes to mock and tease, and at Christmas you set out rice pudding to the farms local Nisse, to prevent him from turning the milk from the cows sour. But unlike the Leprechaun, a Nisse dont have anything particulary with gold to do.

December 20, 20195 yr I sure am learning a lot about worldwide Christmas celebrations through this series great minifig as usual. I would to get it for the goat, and I’m glad theres been some animals in this series.
December 21, 20195 yr Author 21. Tin Soldier Part assortment (8 pieces): New half-right leg. Shako hat. Epaulettes. Musket. 2x1 black plate. Extra head. Regular head and torso.
December 21, 20195 yr If this minifigure were actually to be made would you make the 1x2 plate tighter than usual, as to help him stay up?

Maybe next year we'll get a "Holiday Thief" type character too--you've proven you're not averse to figures from holiday literature. All the same, keep up the good work! I can't wait to see the rest of this year's calendar

Well, now that the CMF are not being made in China anymore, I'd hope there would be no issue with him standing in only one leg
December 22, 20195 yr Author 22. Present Suit Guy Part assortment (8 pieces): Santa hat. Brick torso introduced in Series 18. 2x3 printed tile. Present (2x2 plate + 2x2 tile). Regular head and legs.
December 22, 20195 yr That's a pretty fitting use for that torso! Plus, that Red & Green recolor of the Santa hat would be nice to see.
December 22, 20195 yr Where would the CMF line be without characters dressed up as inanimate objects that no one ever dresses up as in real life?

Either we would've had many more of our CMF wishes fulfilled at this point... ...or... ...we just couldn't have been able to reach twenty Series without them.

I bet forty series could made off of unique ideas, but if lego needs to have a couple costumes to keep it running I’ll accept it.

December 23, 20195 yr Author 23. Opening-Presents Girl Part assortment (10 pieces): Sweet Mayhem's hairpiece recolored. Gift box introduced in Series 18. Snowball (2x2 dome + 2x2 round plate with rounded bottom + Santa microfigure). Short legs. Regular head and torso. Cloth skirt.
December 23, 20195 yr Great choice in recoloring Mayhem's hairpiece for this one! Actually, it's very much a "bedhead" kinda hairpiece the more I think about it, so it really worked quite fittingly for this design! Plus, it has a bit of a Dr. Seuss vibe about, making her somewhat evocative of The Grinch's Cindy Lou Who...
December 23, 20195 yr Seconding what everyone else has said about this one. Awesome new use of existing molds!
December 23, 20195 yr Author Thank you for all the feeback Tomorrow the calendar will be over and Im glad to see people did like it
