The 12 Days After Christmas Of Peg People - Day 1

My girl and I did not go big this year for Christmas per se. By that, I mean we didn't have our traditional tree, and gifts galore which we spread out across multiple days to really enjoy the holiday season. Instead, we bought each other the ultimate gift, a house. That's not to say we didn't get gifts from people, nor each other. We just kept it small(er).

While I'd love to say we're all moved in, the truth of the matter is that the interior work still isn't complete, meaning we have painters, and other general contractors in the house every day, literally living side by side with us. This in turn made it quite difficult to even acknowledge Christmas day this year. Personally, it didn't feel like a holiday, and gifts were the furthest thing from my mind. In fact, it wasn't even until last night, the 27th, that I even remembered we had some things to open. At that point, I actually felt bad about it because I felt I was being rude to the people who had gotten me gifts by not opening anything. Granted, I did wish them all a Merry Christmas, and in some cases, told them that I hadn't had the opportunity to open what they had given me.

So, why do I tell you all of this? Simple. Because one of the boxes was from George of G.I. Jigsaw. This box.

When he gave it to me, a few days before the move, it was with the explicit instruction of, "Do not open until Christmas". Of course, when I did go to open it, I wasn't allowed to.

Someone needed to do it for me.

But then was content with just shredding the paper.

Inside was a sight to behold. George had clearly been busy.

When I texted him to say thanks again, he made mention about how he knew I liked to spread Christmas out. Well, heck yeah, this is awesome. With twelve bags, I decided to really do that, by making it a full twelve days of opening one a day.

So, here we go. Bag number one. What treasures will be within? Well, Spider-Man Peg People, obviously!

Nine of them, to be exact. Wait, hold on. If there are twelve bags, and nine in each bag (presumably), there are one hundred eight figures in total in this box. WOW! If that's accurate, that's a lot. I guess we'll find out.

Hate Monger, Gold Goblin, and Basilisk

Spider-Man (Threats and Menaces Suit),
Sha Shan Nguyen and Devil Slayer

Star Fox, Spider-Woman, and Yellow Jacket

All of these are instant classics! I can't wait to integrate them into my shelf, when I have it in place, all the others unpacked, and everything all set up. I also can't do an updated checklist just yet because I don't have my desktop set up either, which is where that file is at. For now, let's just enjoy the figures.

Thanks again, George. I look forward to opening the next bag some time this morning, and posting it tomorrow! Those will go live at noon each day.
