Christmas has passed, but the toys linger on. I spotted the Funko Muppet Christmas Carol figures online a few months ago and alerted Emma. Then she found the Amazon exclusive flocked Gonzo as Charles Dickens. We both got one. Ken gave me mine for Christmas.
The Muppet Christmas Carol came out in 1992, when Emma was a year old. I took her to see it at the theatre. Some people will smirk at me saying this, but The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of the most accurate versions of the book, and uses more of Dickens actual prose than just about any version too.
I'm glad I got the flocked version of Gonzo. It's a bit more fun than the regular one.
I suppose I could pass on the other characters, except I would like to have the Scrooge/Michael Caine one.
Here we are at #363! You know what that means, don't you? It means I am in line with days of the year now! Two more days to go, and I have done every day this year, even with all that's happened. Check out today's other posts, and come back tomorrow for #364.
Awsome gifts. Very cute too.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen A Christmas Carol. I just remember hearing that it was so sad. I guess I like Hallmark happiness! I am glad you found the characters that you wanted.
ReplyDeleteNot any of the versions? There are a zillion out there. I don't think I know of anybody who hasn't see at least one version. There are sad spots, but there's a happy ending. Try it.
