Description
Icelandic Yule Lads – Low-Poly Collectible Series
Gáttaþefur - 11 of 13
English name: Doorway Sniffer
This model is part of my 13-figure series inspired by the Icelandic Yule Lads, the mischievous brothers from Icelandic Christmas folklore.
Yule Lads begin their journey on the night of December 12th, arriving one by one until all thirteen have appeared. Thirteen days later, they depart in the same order.
Every character in this series is designed to capture their traditional personality, behavior, and charm.
The collection uses a clean geometric low-poly style with modular elements so no AMS is required to print these!
Every figure includes a base shaped after Iceland’s iconic stuðlaberg basalt columns, a natural feature deeply tied to the landscape and aesthetics of Iceland.
Due to the hexagon patterns on the bases, they can connect up in multiple ways and display beautifully as a complete set.
