Santa Darth Maul: get ready, he's coming back

This is thanks to IG88 from the forum brickpirate that we discover this visual of the Santa Darth Maul planned for the set 9509 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2012.

The wink is nice because we already know that 2012 will be the year of Darth Maul: The packaging of the official Star Wars merchandise line is all dressed up with a visual of this character, TheEpisode I The Phantom Menace 3d spring in February and the horned Zabrak also miraculously returns in the animated series The Clone Wars ...
