Oh man.

What is Star Ace thinking here?

This reminds of when SS had their Universal Monsters in holiday garb. They were a little more pricey, but not $300+ pricey.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

At least include his regular clothes and you would probably see this thing sellout quickly. Price is ridiculous, along with all the other stuff I have seen lately.

Just came across this PO up at BBTS for $339.99 with NRD $68........... Enjoy

They are getting more desperate as the months roll on, jesus.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yeah, at least Dumbledore would have made more sense.

 

[jedijim3002]

Should have been green like the ghost of Christmas present. Would have been more believable being that he is half giant and has dark hair and beard.

Two things crossed my mind on seeing this.
1) WTF??
2) “All-new body”? I wonder what’s different compared to the original...

Probably just a lazy copy and paste from the original figure description.

So.... was Santa Hagrid in the book or something? Talk about a bizarre figure choice. If they wanted to rehash Hagrid why not do an alternate outfit from a different Potter movie?

WTF? I honestly thought that this was a joke, then I clicked the link!! So many interesting, as-yet-unmade characters they could do and they go for...Santa Hagrid as the next release Because everyone needs one of those! Surprised they didn't give Fang a red nose or something equally crazy. I mean seriously Star Ace??

 

[ryguyslytherin]

...what the...lmfao. This is the strangest and most pointless Harry Potter product I've ever seen released lol. That monstrosity looks so stupid lol. I thought this was a joke at first but apparently the only joke is who Star Ace hired to make this thing. I honestly can't stop laughing at this thing.

Nope, Hagrid never wore a Santa outfit in the books ever.

This might be a neat idea for a variant in a children's toy line, but here it's just flat out stupid. It reeks of them just wanting to reuse the body to recoup tooling costs, but since Hagrid never really changed much, they put him in a Santa costume and called it a day.

 

[jra81984]

They would have made more money if they simply re-issued him. $340 for a made up figure design makes absolutely no sense

 

[Buttmunch]

His PoA teaching outfit would have been a much better choice for another Hagrid figure.

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

^ Or even a 'suited' Yule Ball version from The Goblet of Fire. Santa Hagrid is such an odd choice for a figure

 

[Entropy]

I think this the first in their Santa line. Santa Dobby and Santa Malfoy are next.

 

[Buttmunch]

I still think a Santa Harris Dumbledore would actually have some appeal if they put some work into a nice outfit.

 

[warlock664]

Wow, that's really stupid.
If they included his standard clothes as well, I'd buy one, but I can't imagine too many collectors wanting this to display. I suppose it'll appeal to fans of Sideshow's Santa Yoda and Christmas PJs Frankenstein and Dracula, but not too many others.

My sympathies to any completionists out there.
