I always run a Christmas themed game for the grandchildren in December.  This year I am a bit late in getting it ready.  While looking for inspiration for a fantasy game I thought that Frostgrave might be a good starting point as we have played a few games.  So I need 4 themed parties led by Christmas characters and at least one led by or including a "not=Disney" Princess.

Found these but cannot identify them


I have the Copplestone (unarmed) Santa and I have seen a couple in the Frostgrave range.  So recommendations for other and especially the "non-Disney" Princesses are most welcome.

Thanks

Depending on which princess you have in mind, I've used these figures from Brigade Games:

Think NorthStar & HassleFree do 'Not-Frozen' characters. Can't recall seeing any others :-/

Foundry, Artizan and North Star usually do Santa types of varying sorts... but usually not until December. Copplestone does/did killer snowmen.

I recently saw some cool conversions of GW night goblins into gnomes (by adding facial hair) - they'd also make good Christmas Elves/dwarves.

You might be able to make a gang of Krampus('s) from assorted beastmen figures?

Killer B have been showing off some Black Powder Christmas characters.

Many thanks - now to track them down in UK.  Just missed the Hasslefree sale >:(

I have a fair collection unfortunately the thread was lost in the Photobucket money grab:

Reaper miniatures has a Cinderella:

Some of their other "princess" miniatures might be adaptable as well:

Thanks for all those suggestions.  Looks like the wallet will take a hit!  The one in my original post is a Reaper Christmas Special - Eve.

Still don't know who the "Santa" with the naughty & nice list is.

Think Scibor miniatures did some Christmas figures.
Somewhere I have their dwarf Easter bunny.

Reaper also do some santas - https://www.reapermini.com/search/Santa

That was a search on their uk store, so looks like they're in stock

There's an ancient thread I started that may be worth a look - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=35819
