Last year Em was really excited to put up a full-on Christmas village in our place. We had purchased a giant bookshelf that year and decided it would double as our mantle. She set the whole thing up and it looked pretty fantastic, but it was clearly missing something: action figures. She graciously let me add a smattering of MiniMates and Kenner Star Wars toys and I think it turned out pretty well. Hit the jump for the full experience.

We’ll probably be setting up this year’s in the next few days. I’m actually pretty excited because I’ve gotten WAY more MiniMates and other smaller figures that will fit perfectly in the scene. Check it out here.
