First there was Raptor Jesus, now there is Raptor Santa (For those with shopping left to do)

[The Straight Story]

Screw Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman. I've found a new holiday mascot to burn gingerbread effigies before. His name is Raptor Santa Claus, he's from Japan, and he's a damn robot.

I was first introduced to my new Christmas overlord over at Plastic Pals' Japanese holiday robot round-up. He's part of the Kokoro corporation's stable of animatronic dinosaurs. I want him to travel the world on a sleigh made of bones and scream Japanese profanity down the chimneys of houses where bad children dwell. He's my second favorite Christmas figure this side of Krampus.

5. If they have a big Santa raptor inflatable lawn 'ornament', I'm there.

Much more suitable for ruining the neighborhood than a pink flamingo.
