A good idea from William for the Santa Yoda of the Advent Calendar

You all know that when you finish methodically opening your Star Wars Advent Calendar 2011, you will come across the most useless minifigure in history: The Santa Yoda, in other words a Yoda dressed as Santa Claus and whose use in your dioramas will be limited to December 25 of each year, and again ....

But, at the risk of surprising you, this Santa Yoda is not an invention from the head of a designer at LEGO who has decided to ruin our existence with a ridiculous minifig. indeed, in 1981, the company Lucasfilm used an official greeting card (visual below) on which a drawing by Ralph McQuarrie, official illustrator of the Star Wars universe, represents a Yoda not really happy, but decked out with a Santa Claus outfit. Therefore, we must face the facts, Santa Yoda is barrel and is indeed part of the Star Wars universe, end of discussion.

For its part, Guillaume This day sent me this superb Christmas ball, in which he integrated the Santa Yoda and the Christmas tree from the Advent Calendar, as well as a C-3PO and an R2-D2 both with attributes reminiscent of the festive period that awaits us in the coming weeks. A judicious use of this minifigure and an effective realization which will give you, I am sure, some ideas.
