For $21 at Toys-R-Us, there's this decent Animal Planet playset:


And when price isn't a deterrent, this $250 made-to-order "Tibetan Yeti Rug" from Middle of Beyond is yowza:

If your recipient is an intellectual, how about Sykes' Nature of the Beast: The First Genetic Evidence on the Survival of Apemen, Yeti, Bigfoot and Other Mysterious Creatures into Modern Times?


And if not an intellectual, how about this steampunk comic book?: Lady Mechanika Tablet of Destinies #1

 
There's a Steampunk lady hunting yeti in it.

Or somewhere in between, how about: Cryptozoology Anthology: Strange and Mysterious Creatures in Men's Adventure Magazines?


Maybe your giftee likes to bake? There's: Cake My Day!: Easy, Eye-Popping Designs for Stunning, Fanciful, and Funny Cakes


For the younger lover of yeti, it's your lucky year! Look how many new books there are:

Pugs of the Frozen North


Dear Yeti



The Yeti Files 2


The Thing about Yetis


No Yeti Yet


Are We There, Yeti?


The Snow Beast


And, not out this year, an oldie from 2011, but still a goodie:   Encyclopedia Mythologica: Dragons and Monsters Pop-Up:

Has a fantastic yeti pop-up page



My Not Yeti suggestions for holiday buying are as follows:

1) This Nessie Ladle ($8):

2) This Octonauts yeti crab toy (blogged about here):




3) This Girl in Totoro costume plush (not sure where to get - Ebay?):


4) And most importantly, Chia Bigfoot:

A Wampa for the Holidays

How about a Wampa for the Holidays?  There's a lot of gift options for the wampa enthusiast this year.

Back in 1982, the wampa action figure was THE gift to give and to receive:


Now there's a brand spankin-new Wampa action figure!  Pretty special. Costs like $50. Jacked-up Luke Sold Separately.




Twenty dolla beanie, baby!





There's also this playset, Playskool Heroes Star Wars Galactic Heroes Echo Base Encounter.






For the bloodpainting fan, Bloody Wampa Funko figure was limited to 750.

The Wampa's Tale: indie comic by Spencer Hawkes exploring his backstory:






Oh, and there's this new table-top game: Imperial Assault: Return to Hoth

Michal Ivan



And the Hoth Collector Set with Wampa plush included:





Disney Infinity 3.0 is out now, and wampa's in the game.






Finally, the Star Wars Where's the Wookiee Search and Find Book is like Where's Waldo but Star Wars themed.  Spend hours and hours of fun examining overly-detailed image spreads seeking a diminutive Chewbacca.


There's a Hoth battle page, and you can actually play "Where's Wampa?" instead.
