Just as an FYI Punk, without going too deep into it. The books are Ledgers. Accounting Books. The boxes with lids are Cash Boxes. The safe is obviously a safe. Marley has been condemned, not to hell, but to purgatory. Condemned to wander the earth as a ghost bound by the chains of greed he forged while alive as a moneylender. I’m actually rather astonished. You grew to adulthood in the 20th Century English speaking world, and somehow avoided any contact with “A Christmas Carol”? There are literally 32 English language movie versions of the book alone. Not counting the looser adaptions like the Patrick Stewart one man stage show, or the Bill Murray “Scrooged”. Heck I think even the Amish will read the book? Evidence mounts that A Punk With Toys is secretly a North Korean deep cover agent… or possibly some species of Martian?
I wear the chain I forged in life. I made it link by link, and yard by yard. I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you? Or would you know the weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It was full as heavy and as long as this seven Christmas Eves ago. You have labored on it since. It is a ponderous chain! - I also can't fathom how anyone could go through life in the US without having been exposed to some version of this story. As for myself, my sole claim to acting fame is that I played Jacob Marley in my High School Senior Class Play, across from Ebenezer Scrooge played by Steve Burns, he of Blue's Clues fame.
I do not get angry that you dont know lore. NORMALLY. Many toys I like, yet I dont know the true lore behind them. But, for **** sake, this one is a classic. It lands right up there with Rudolph, Frosty, heck, even Santa, himself. Whats next? You gonna tell me you dont know who Clarence is. Please, I beg of you, even if you dont read the book, check out one of the movies, (I personally recommend the George C. Scott film). It is well worth the watch.
The bandage keeps his jaw from dropping open like the alt head sculpt.
Quick! Somebody make Punk watch A Muppet Christmas Carol.
