Skylanders’ Christmas-themed Chompy Mage Variant is Out This Week… Maybe?
UPDATE: Yep, definitely available now
@Mario__Bones Yes that's right Mario. It is available for purchase now. Be sure to get in quick as this is a limited edition.

UPDATE 2: The figure is also showing up in the systems of Big W and EB Games stores, but with a release date of November 14th. So you should be able to purchase him there from tomorrow, alongside the Thumpin’ Wumpa Islands Adventure Pack.
Original Story
Skylanders games always have a few variant figures with designs inspired by different holidays – the last game in the series, Superchargers, had some designs like an Easter Egg submarine and a character painted with Halloween colours. The newest game, Imaginators, is set to feature some of its own. The first of which is a Christmas variant of the Chompy Mage figure that’s designed to look like Santa Claus. The basic Chompy Mage hasn’t been released here yet (or even given a release date as far as I’m aware), so this will be our first chance to play around with him. He’s a Bazooker class Sensei from the Life element.
This variant has been advertised in Target’s newest catalogue which started on Monday the 7th of November, and since it doesn’t have a separate release date listed it should be available now but I’m currently seeking confirmation as I haven’t had the chance to check any local stores as of yet. The Jingle Bells Chompy Mage figure is exclusive to Target and will cost $16. The catalogue also officially confirms that the Combo Packs containing a Sensei figure and a Creation Crystal are exclusive to Target, as predicted, and cost $20.
