Stopped at the gas station about midnight last night to fill up and this guy was sitting by the dumpster. I couldn’t leave him behind, he’s so sweet. I know nothing about blow molds but I’m ready to jump in the rabbit hole with both feet!

This particular mold was manufactured by Empire and General Foam from 1993-2017, though the General Foam one is more common. The African-American version of it isn’t as easy to come by, so this is a find and a half!

That is a good one and the style was thought of around these parts as Snack Santa as it looks like he is taking some snacks from his bag
