The 2010 annual shrink-wrapped event piece depicts the Three Kings, Peter style. Each lion king can be seen bearing gifts for the baby Jesus, except one has misread his present list. Instead of bringing Frankincense, he has bought a toy Frankenstein. Peter reports two glaring errors in his interpretation of the nativity scene. First, Mary Shelley did not write her book about the monster until 1818, which, if our math is correct, is 1818 years too late. Second, of course, Victor Frankenstein was the name of the man who created the monster. But Peter didn’t want to let facts get in the way of a funny story! The names of the three kings - Melchior, Gaspar and Balthasar – can be found inside, along with a Star of Bethlehem. “Magi Fest” is an edition of 441 - 90 of which contain a mold variation, 45 a color variation, and 1 that is hand-painted by Peter and bedecked in jewels!
