Japanese super Santa

Santa’s ability to fly around the world in a single evening, deliver millions of presents and even squeeze his sizeable frame down several chimneys would seem like a fairly phenomenal feat — a superhuman one even.

But not necessarily in Japan, as the bearded and obese one would appear to have been unceremoniously superseded by the somewhat more svelte, Santa Man X.

A slimmed-down slightly sinister model much more suited to the modern world.

Japanese santa

Maybe.

    Hey, at least you can’t say he’s not health-conscious. A fitter Santa could be a good role model. As for the Mask, it’s probably to protect him from being sued by people. Masks generally help in that regard.

    Lol, this just looks like a perfect robbers outfit to me. Maybe you could dress up as Santa and play Robin Hood lol. Then give out all the toys to good boys and girls that you so happen to have in your “sack of goodies.”
