All the Tin Soldiers, melt them down

Description

Beginning my series of Peddler Christmas pictures, each corresponding to a line from the song 'No More Toymakers to the King' from the movie Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. It's going to be rather a downer.

So here's the first one, with Marteen. I'm doing these rather fast, so they aren't going to be super polished. But I'm also not going to stress out about getting them all done before the twelve days are up. So there.

It's interesting here how the characterization is immediately evocative of The Tin Soldier, even though Marteen has both legs. At the same time, since the correlation is there, and if it was intentional, I make me wonder about whether or not there is a similarly correlating Paper Ballerina.
