Arguably the most mysterious of the spirits that visits Ebenezer Scrooge is the Ghost of Christmas Past. While Scrooge’s former partner, Jacob Marley, along with the Ghosts of Christmas Present and Yet to Come, are all fairly iconic in the ways in which they are represented, Christmas Past is the character that is the most varied in how it has been depicted over the years.
The Ghost of Christmas Past is an important milestone in the Figura Obscura line, as it is the first time we have revisited a theme and done a second release to start a “series within the series.” While we did previously announce our plans to release additional “Gods of Ancient Egypt” deities in order to build out that sub-series of Figura Obscura, the Ghost of Christmas Past is the first time we actually have a second distinct Figura release from a series now in hand. This spirit joins last year’s release of the Ghost of Jacob Marley as two characters from Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol.” In fact, we even teased that this was coming on the final page of the booklet that came with old Marley last year, stating that “the Ghosts of Christmas shall return.”
