Christmas Yeti Ornament in sparkly red underwear

By Jaime Michele LaDucer

The Undies trend is alive! And Christmasy.

Schorr Yeti

We haven't seen one in a while, and I thought it was time: everyone's favorite new trend, the yeti in undies.

Lanham Yeti preview

I'll tell you where there's a lot of yeti love: the designer toy community. Among the artists who produce these pop surrealist vinyl sculptures, the Abominable One is still a popular subject.

Every day, so you don't have to, I troll the designer toy blogs looking for the next yeti thing. The yeti is elusive, as I'm sure you know, but I've learned from experience that The Himalayan Man-Ape will eventually make an appearance.

Today I was rewarded with a sighting. The great Plastic and Plush blog revealed what the Strangekiss company is planning for their upcoming projects. And one of their figures will be a yeti!

His name is "Bill the Yeti", and here are the schematics (click to view bigger):



The talented David Lanham (whose Zog figure I previously blogged about) is the primary one responsible for Bill. All signs point to this figure being in possession of removable outfits. And check out the undies! (I'm telling you, this is the start of a fad.) Rumor also has it that other guest artists will get to modify Bill to their liking, further exploring their yeti love in the third dimension like it's never been done before!

And we may be seeing Bill the Yeti as a full-fledged figure on the shelves of people with expendable incomes as early as San Diego Comic Con (which is usually late July) - not too far from now.

This could be the BEST YETI FIGURE of 2009! So look out!

Phil the Yeti

Phil the Yeti by sugarskull is available for sale on Etsy.

According to his description:

"Phil the yeti, needed a break from the cold so he came out here to the West Coast to catch some sun! Armed with nothin' but a smile and a pair of briefs, this guy is ready for anything!!"

Chili Dog Farmer aka Joe Fidel made this.

Are those pajamas? Can I count this as Undies?

Fout Yeti

If you guessed that Sam Fout drew this, then you either knew that already, or you are really, really good at deduction...and I mean really.

Nice goin', Sherlock (I mean this sincerely; that was impressive).

Not sure if this is a t-shirt design or what, but I think he made it for the recent NY comic-con.

NOTE:

Is it related to this blog?

It has some nice yeti art, like this 1, this 2, and this 3. Oh, it hasn't been updated in over a year, so it's probably not connected. Sorry, Sam.


'NOTHER NOTE:

I am tagging this with a new label: UNDIES. If anyone knows of any other depictions of yeti wearing underthings, let me know! And what will I do with that information? NOTHING SINISTER, I assure you.
