I wanted a "particular look" for my Lego 4x Santa - if that's possible...
Took bits and pieces from various lego minifig-based sources and combined them (thanks everyone for your hard work). Skimbal's 4x minifig was the main basis.
The beard from KySyth did not print too well and I had to use some filler and paint to complete it, but it'll do for now.
You can maybe try RetroRocketUK's 5x beard (scale to 80% for a 4x minifig).
All-in-all, turned out pretty much the way I wanted!
I will be re-printing the legs, to do black boots and red tops (filament swap halfway up the legs). I'll also try and re-print the body section, to include a black belt at the bottom of the body before the main body starts printing red (again, filament swap); will add a gold buckle if I can find something suitable on Thingiverse :)
Once my CR-10 S4 arrives, I'll be looking at doing an 8x version to match the size of the printed Nutcrackers I did...will also try and put together a Christmas Elf to match...

Notes:
Printed at 40mm/s in eSun ABS using 245 degrees nozzle and 110 degree heated glass bed with ABS juice.
Home-made cardboard surround used to retain some heat, but still get the occasional bed lift!
Switched to some Wanhao Build Tak on the glass for all future ABS printing...
Bit of cleanup with a craft knife and fine sandpaper.
The beard took some work to clean up; had to fill and paint as it had missing layers. Wll re-print using another beard type at a later stage.
