Kramp the holidays with some Krampus papercrafts
It's the holiday season and, like in recent years, the Krampus seems to be everywhere. Zombie Leah over at GeekCraft has put together two Krampus papercrafts: one a traditional furred Krampus (credited to Uncle Ghastly) and the other a more scaly version (credited to Christopher Bonnette).
I've always been a sucker for a traditional Krampus so I find the furry one more appealing although there's certainly something fun about the scaly version between his fork and his opening mouth (a reminder that the Krampus eats the children he doesn't drag down to hell). The more traditional also carries what I assume are his bundle of birch branches (for swatting the naughty) and has manacles on his wrists which bring to mind the character's association with chains.
For non-papercraft fans who still need their Krampus fix, I'd recommend checking out the most recent Grimm episode entitled "Twelve Days of Krampus".

[REMINDER] Tomopop Micropixel: Best of Friends
Christmas will soon be upon us, so what better time to start giving stuff away? Yes, it's time for a new photo contest!
The theme this time out will be Best of Friends. We want to see your figures hanging out with each other, spending some quality time. Naturally, two figures is the obvious way to go here, but don't let that restrain you - we'll accept pictures of figures with pets or even people, as long as it's a great shot. Be imaginative and creative. If it's unexpected or makes us laugh, that's extra points!
If you're interested in entering, then you can comment on this post with your photo or a link to your photos. Alternatively, post over in the Cblogs - we'd love to see how you went about taking your pictures. You're only allowed to enter once per person, so bring your A-game. This contest is open for readers worldwide, but please note if you're outside the United Kingdom then we'd nicely ask you to cover the cost of shipping the prize.
We've got the perfect prize for the competition too, with Alter's version of everyone's favourite yaoi couple best buddies Waver Velvet and Rider (review), from Fate/Zero, up for grabs. If you want them on your shelf, you've got until midnight CST on Monday 23rd December to get those entries in. Good luck!
