The good, the bad, and the lacky from "Santa Claus"
By Lawrance M. Bernabo
I still like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" a bit more than "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" when it comes to Animagic Christmas specials, and that is because the former has the Island of Misfit Toys ruled by the wise and kindly King Moonracer. Inspired in the loosest sense of the word by the J. Fred Coots' song "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town," the 1970 Christmas special tells a new version of the origin of Santa Claus. An abandoned baby is adopted by the Kringles, a family of elves living in Rainbow Valley who are the first toy makers to the king. Tanta Kringle names the child Kris and one day he visits Sombertown, where giving toys to children is against the law.In this "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town" action trio we have the kindly Tanta Kringle (voiced by Joan Gardner), the mean Burgermeister Meisterburger (voiced by Paul Frees), and his henchman Grimsley (also voiced by Frees). Tanta has the most accessories, including the abandoned baby with his big blue eyes and his medallion saying "Claus," a toy soldier, a giant yo-yo, and the proclamation naming the Kringles the first toy maker to the king. The frowning Burgermeister has a turkey leg, a cane, and his wheelchair, while has his sword and the giant proclamation making it illegal and unlawful to distribute toys to children in Sombertown. All three (and the baby for that matter) have great expressions on their faces, but the array of accessories are equally impressive.There is a companion set of figures that will give you Miss Jessica, Kris Kringle, and Topper, and then there are separate sets with Winter and then the Deluxe Mail Vehicle with the mailman. Get the four and them and you have all of the main characters covered to scale. Playing Mantis does the "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" figures as well as these from "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" and "Peanuts" figures for all of your holiday occasions.

Gimme the toys
By Cole Carson
My mom liked the cartoon, so I got this for her for Christmas to set out with her other Christmas decorations. I would not recomend this for very young children who still put everything in their mouths because there are small pieces that present a choking hazard. But these are very detailed toys and are quite niffty.

The legendary Burgermeister Meisterburger, and more!
By Monty Moonlight
Rankin/Bass's most imaginative stop-motion animagic classic (though Rudolph is my fave, making this one # 2) , "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town," comes to life in this new series of brilliant action figures from Playing Mantis's Memory Lane toy line. It's the magical story of how Santa Claus came to be the beloved legend that he is, and the best telling at that. This action figure trio from the 1970 Christmas special is Burgermeister Meisterburger, Tanta Kringle, and Grimsley. The Burgermeister was the evil ruler of Sombertown, who outlawed toys and did his best to capture good hearted Kris Kringle, the man who would be Claus! Tanta Kringle is the sweet old woman who raised Kris with the help of her family of elves. Grimsley is the bootlicking soldier lackey of Burgermeister Meisterburger. The three are perfect likenesses of their TV images, with amazing detail and nice articulation. Their equally well detailed and accurate accessories include baby Santa Claus in his blanket and sled with the Claus necklace around his neck, a Kringle History book and rose for Tanta Kringle, Burgermeister's wheelchair, foot cast, hat, cane, apron, turkey leg, and yo-yo, and a removable helmet, sword, sheath, toy soldier, and proclamation for Grimsley.The detail and accuracy in this toy line is stunning, as one has come to expect from Playing Mantis. Their Rudolph figures, which I have also been collecting, are equally spectacular, as are their Peanuts toys (which I am gathering in scattered doses, but they seem to be the hardest to get at the post Christmas sales). I was also pleased, for the most part, with the Mickey's Christmas Carol line they began, though I'd like to see some attention returned to that one in the future, especially since I'm a huge Disney/Scrooge McDuck/Dickens' Christmas Carol fan. I also hope to see some Frosty the Snowman, Frosty's Winter Wonderland, Rudolph's Shiny New Year, Twas the Night Before Christmas, Here Comes Peter Cottontail, and Mad Monster Party action figures in the future, but I digress. These "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" toys have been long hoped for by me, and I'm so happy to have them! They're masterfully done! Thanks a bunch, Playing Mantis!
