Continuing Four Horsemen's tradition of winter-holiday-themed Figura Obscura releases, December 2023 saw Four Horsemen unveil the spectral Ghost of Jacob Marley from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”.
Decked out in chains and featuring an extra head, extra hands, cashboxes, ledgers, keys, and even a giant safe (with a surprise inside), this ghost was a perfect way to cap off 2023’s trio of Figura Obsura releases!
This new “Haunted Blue” edition presents this spirit in a whole new way—and he glows in the dark! This version of Ghost of Jacob Marley includes all the same pieces as the original, including the secret “iron mask” head that was hidden inside the safe in the first edition.
Like all Figura Obscura releases, the Ghost of Jacob Marley with come in deluxe packaging with a magnetic front cover and loads of artwork from this character’s story.
The title page of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" reads "A Ghost Story of Christmas". While the tradition of telling "scary ghost stories" for the holidays did not originate with Mr. Dickens, his tale of holiday hauntings and redemption is certainly the most well-known Christmas ghost story. It is filled with characters that have become iconic symbols of the season, including the three Ghosts of Christmas, the sickly Tiny Tim and the Cratchitt family, and the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge who is redeemed through the lessons taught by the visit of those aforementioned three spirits. Yet, there is another spirit found in the pages of this story, one who is perhaps the most visually recognizable of all of Dickens' ghosts. We are of course referring to the man who, in life, was Scrooge's partner. The latest character to haunt the halls of Figura Obscura is none other than the Ghost of Jacob Marley.
