The red dragons are form the castle micro set.
I got most of the elves in a DS order the summer after the house carry along set was first released in the US. It would be great if they released a small workshop set some time. They have made all sorts of tools over the years and with multiple elves it would be a desirable set. The problem with the blister is that you only get one elf  :elf: plus a Santa  <*) . How many Santa's can a person use?  <*) I managed to use all of mine this year, but it took some creative thinking and a little customization on one.  I will leave that as a teaser hanging for my next post in a day or two  >:D

Love the elf painting the spots on the giraffe and stripes on the zebra!

I agree with Tim, just how many Santas does one household need? I'd have preferred an elf-only blister pack, maybe with three elves as they're smaller figures, and then I think a lot of people would build Santa's Workshop sets - though Tim's has done the job so well it'd be hard to top it.

There are a raft of films and cartoons featuring the elves and their antics  - Elf (Will Farrell), and Santa Claus (Dudley Moore) come to mind immediately, as well as the Polar Express cartoon.

We have red and green elves, how about a blue and yellow variety too?

Hi  :elf:

   Oh don't get me wrong an all Elf pack would have been much more welcome than what was available. I do not know why they needed two different Santa packs? One Santa pack with the snow man and another one of elf's would have been great. I take what is given and do the best out of it I can. The extra Santa's get cannibalized for their parts and the elf's are set free. I did find it humorous that the 5846 packs Santa came with a stick , was it to keep the elf in line  :whip:

Really cool! :xmascheer:

I'd love to imagine the names of each character, if I did one of these ... I don't have that much playmo yet :P

 :xholly: Questions:

Who might be the character on the balcony? (near the snowman :snowman: )

&

Do those elfs come with those shoes, or was that customized? :elf: Really cool shoes, I had never noticed them!

Thanks for the pictures! They're very inspiring <*) :rudy:

The elf shoes come that way, it's one of the things that makes them so desirable compared to just child Klickies.

The figure on the balcony is from 3810 - Circus Riders as is his hat. The cape is  Santa's 30 62 2510 - Cloak, full-length with collar in the Living Room  Advent calendar

Here is the last installment, if anyone would like specific pictures of any parts you couldn't see well enough just let me know and I will get them for you.

The lower level garage  :rudy: and Santa workshop  <*) (not to be confused with Santa's Workshop).

It's pictures like these that want to make you say "Ho Ho Ho, Merry X-Mas" ...

Really love the idea of the "Robotic Santa" ...
