While the summer heat is still raging on, we’re just five months away from Christmas. The holiday season is quickly sneaking up on us. This transition period from the sun-soaked dog days of summer to the colorful chill of fall is usually when companies unveil their products for the upcoming frosty months. Now, ahead of the holiday rush,Mezco Toyzhas debuted their latest figure based around aChristmas classic.
A part of Mezco’s nostalgic 5 Points collection, their latest 3.75-inch scale figures are all centered around National Lampoon’sChristmas Vacation. AtSan Diego Comic-Con, the famous toy company showed off three figures: Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) recreating the iconic poster in Santa Claus outfit as he gets electrocuted by Christmas lights, Clark in his main casual outfit from the film with his Wally World mug full of eggnog, and everyone’s favorite Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid). The latter of which is in a bathrobe emptying the toilet from his RV, one of the most famous and quoted parts from the film. Other great details from the set include the Christmas lights actually lighting up for that authentic feel on Clark’s poster figure.Christmas Vacationnow joinsBatman(1989)andBatman: The Animated Seriesin Mezco’s 5 Points collection.
There’s Nothing Like a Griswold Family Christmas
The third entry in theVacationfranchise,this 1989 film followed Clark Griswold as he tried to give his extended family the ultimateGriswold Family Christmas. The problem is, nothing ever goes to plan when he’s in charge, leading to a holiday season full of chaos. Despite the heightened experience of sewer line explosions, chainsaw-fueled rages, and SWAT team invasions,Christmas Vacationretains the heart of what this time of year is all about,while keeping the risqué comedic charm of theVacationseries intact. It’s a film that only gets more relatable as its audience gets older.
Also, with a seasonal film as beloved as this,Christmas Vacationhas become the most marketable of the entire franchise.This means we’ve gotten a ton of merchandise over the years, inlcudingaction figures,Funko Pops, andapparel collections. The sequel also came to 4K for the first time a few years ago.
