Happy Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night! On this #FourHorsemenFriday, we’re taking a quick look at the Four Horsemen Studios Figura Obscura: Krampus!
Although the historical origins of the Krampus are uncertain, this horned anthropomorphic figure is traditionally believed to accompany Saint Nicholas on visits to children during the night of December 5th, preceding the Feast of St. Nicholas on December 6th. In Central and Eastern Alpine folklore, Saint Nicholas rewards well-behaved children with small gifts, whereas the Krampus punishes those who misbehave with birch rods.
In Alpine regions, local folklore holds that the Krampus haunts communities during winter festivals, while residents celebrate to dispel the season’s cold and darkness. The concept of producing action figures based on well-known fictional characters inspired Four Horsemen Studios to develop the Figura Obscura line. Incorporating select components from the Mythic Legions series alongside unique design elements, the Krampus became the inaugural figure in this line in 2021, followed up by a red repaint the next year.
The Krampus figure incorporates armor, chains, hands, hooves, and the main body from the Mythic Legions line. Additionally, it features a newly designed head, neck piece, tail, and several character-specific accessories, such as skulls, sleigh bells, a switch, and a woven basket.
