05 Bumble

"Roar!"

Bumble


Bumble is an Abominable snowman also called a Yeti. 
The character Bumble appeared in the claymation Yule film Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer back in 1964.
In the film Rudolph and his friends knockout the poor Bumble and forcibly remove all his teeth without anesthetic. This somehow tames the Bumble.

In the real world the Yeti or Abominable Snowman is an ape-like cryptid, native to the Himalayas. First discovered by westerners in the 19th century the Yeti has long been know to the inhabitants of Nepal and Tibet. While no body has been found by western scientists, there are numerous footprints, hair samples (that identify as "unknown primate") and enough other evidence that the creature exists. There are actually a few types of Yeti reported, one a large primate like Bumble and one that was proven in 2013 to be a long thought extinct ancient species of polar bear.

 
Bumble is the 5th figure in the Holiday line from the movie Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, of Funko vinyl pop figures. 


Bumble has white fur and blue skin.



 

 He has clawed hands and feet with four digits on each.
 


While he has the usual Funko pop black eyes, Bumble does have circles under them. He also has a very non pop nose and the teeth look fantastic. It doesn't show up will in the photos but the inside of his mouth almost looks transparent. 



 He has an adorable spiky scruffle of hair on his head that adds to his cuteness.




 Bumble looks a little tubby, but that is just because he needs a layer of fat to help keep him warm in the snowy mountains.





Here he is hiding from Rick and Jack
