In which case, I have some good news for the fans of my storybook Advent calendars! I bought two more today, namely another Marvel one and one Disney one. More lovely stories to read, in the run-up to Christmas 0:-)
It's also good news, for fans of Advent calendars featuring the Nativity Story! I picked up one of those today, as well. Another lovely means to keep Christ in CHRISTmas, no?
***********
And the Street Fighter badges haven't come in yet, but I was sold a set of Street Fighter plushies today. Mom wants to give me the Bison one for Christmas or my birthday, and Gran naturally wants to give me the Ken one - I even met up with her in town today, and handed him over to her so she can hold on to him for now.
"Of COURSE!", the rest have gone on display - and they prevent Thunder and Jasmine from getting to one point where they shouldn't 0:-)

And for those of you who are going to watch Hocus Pocus 2, yes I've had a little sneak peak myself. Mom has been watching the first hour or so of it this evening, before going to babysit my niece... so yes, I watched with her as well (I called to see my parents, this afternoon).
Mom and her friends plan to watch it together next month, for their weekly 'Ghost Night' meeting... before going to see the first Hocus Pocus movie, at a local country estate. So I've been buying them some Halloween candy, to enjoy for the occasion!

It is fun! Have you not seen the first one, released back in 1993?
One of the Disney theme parks even does a Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular concert for their Halloween celebrations, complete with a Bette Midler impersonator as Winnie! Has anyone here seen it?
And of course, no Hocus Pocus concert would be complete without that song, including encouraging the audience to join in with the chant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhxFWuewpXI

Yes, that's true 
And let's not forget the Coca Cola truck! I hope it will tour again this year... though there are still no guarantees if I can go and see it, especially if Santa Claude comes to town...

It's not exactly for riding - people can have their pictures taken in front of the truck, when it stops at certain locations across the country.
And yes, it gives out free Coca Cola - I don't drink that myself (I prefer Lilt and/or Fanta), but again the truck is a very sweet tradition over here, inspired by one of our own Christmas commercials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wtxogfPieA .
But before anyone asks, no the truck is not exactly necessary for Santa Claude. It has indeed visited during previous Santa Claude visits, yes including when I went to see it after learning I could finally avenge the Mute For Coal Incident... but the only reason I didn't see the truck for its 2019 tour, was because the day we planned to go and see it turned out to be one of my Santa Claude visit days for that year 0:-)

And it's more good news for the Funko collectors here! I bought a Nightmare Before Christmas Funko Advent calendar here - and it's the full 24 days, as opposed to the 13-day one I bought the other week!
Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the Disney movies which Capcom have made a game about, so of course that's a fitting choice for if Santa Claude comes to town, and of course for if Halloween falls during an airing celebration; as well as its appearance in the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
Speaking of Kingdom Hearts, I also picked up a Funko figurine of the Soldier Heartless, because I thought it was just too adorable. I also bought Shere Khan (TaleSpin version), because Capcom also made a game about TaleSpin; and also Avinia (from Monster Hunter Stories), yes because of her being a Monster Hunter character and therefore a Capcom character. Yes, I would even consider the name 'Avinia' for any future Street Fighter babies!
The only Advent calendar I couldn't afford today, was another Disney storybook one which yes I am keen on buying - indeed even more so, because Mulan (the princess whom Ming-Na voiced!) is in that. Maybe I'll get that, when I next do my grocery shopping...

They are adorable, aren't they? Hell, don't forget I have all three Mega Man Funko Pez dispensers, which for obvious reasons I only use for airing celebrations...
But now, we can get them in Advent calendars? Sweet, I know!

Well, would you consider a Funko Advent calendar?

Thank you, Neo Senshi ^_^
So... is anyone tempted, like to get a Funko Advent calendar of their own?
And yes, the only reason I'd open all doors on my non-candy Advent calendars, including the Funko ones... is if Santa Claude comes to town. A barrage of airing gifts

And in case the question arises, yes my Shere Khan Funko is to be among the 'exclusive' Christmas decorations (i.e. because Capcom made a game about TaleSpin).
I will keep some of the Nightmare Before Christmas Funkos for myself, while those I don't want I will give to my sister-in-law because she also likes Nightmare Before Christmas. I showed her a picture of the calendar I bought the other day, and she loves it!
