Top 6 Star Wars Christmas Figurines




Life Day is upon us. If you don know what that means then you are truly blessed. Happy Holidays everyone from your Toy Maniac here at Mania. I thought I would round out this holiday season with my Top 6 Star Wars Figurines. Why figurines and not just figures? To be honest there is strange line between the two. Would we play with these figures or at least display them year round? I highly doubt any kid took his Santa Yoda on an adventure. By broadening the term to figurines we can also accommodate statues and bobble-heads. Because oddly enough Hasbro stopped making their Holiday Figures Trouwjurk Lange Mouw a few years go.





6. Star Wars Holiday Bobble-Heads by Funko





The brilliant part about Funko Star Wars Holiday Bobble-Heads is that they are so easily available. Many of the big chain stores Vintage Trouwjurk such as Target and Wal-Mart carry them every year. Funko also includes the inspiration for each figure on the packaging. No, these aren just some random holiday/ Star Wars mash ups.





5. Star Wars 2004 Holiday Edition Figure - Jawas





This two piece set is actually has a bit of holiday charm as the Jawas are building toys. Another nice touch is that their eyes glow. One Jawa eyes glow in red and the other green. It is so simple yet perfect in its fake holiday snow globe setting.





4. Star Wars 2005 Holiday Edition Figure - Darth Vader





An all red Darth Vader is a bit strange. I like this figure for one reason. I imagine Vader dresses up like this on Life Day. He does this to give the troops their one laugh of the year.





3. Star Wars 2002 Holiday Edition figures - C-3PO and R2-D2





Directly inspired by Christmas in Stars, The Star Wars Christmas Album, comes an incredible two pack. The record album itself is far from incredible but nonetheless worth a listen.





2. Star Wars 2003 Holiday Edition figure - Yoda





This has been one of my favorites for years. It even made my Top 100 Star Wars Figures (see list #63). It seems appropriate that if any one character would have the kindness and Lange Cocktailjurken heart of Santa it would be Yoda.





1. Star Wars Boba Fett with Carbonite Christmas Statue





Here is a great mixture of the classic movie and Christmas in one brilliant decoration. The candy cane rifle is also a nice touch. Why this isn available until May of 2011 is beyond me. It was the prefect ornament to celebrate the 30thaniversary of The Empire Strikes Back (order it here).
