From his product descriptions:

Exclusive “A Very New Wave Christmas” Ornaments are finally here to make any Christmas tree weird and full of obscure, punny Christmas memories.

– 10 Rubber die cut bendable ornament
– Between 3 and 4 inches each

Some highlights include from the 2016 set Mark Mothersbaugh in a power dome trimmed like a Christmas. From the 2017 Billy Idol as Chilly idol (Jack Frost), which can hopefully replace that “Nice day for a light sweater/ Nice day for a Cardigaaaaaan” meme making it’s rounds.

Right now they’re all in pre-order for next year (2018; I waited too long to write this post for this year, sorry), and will ship in January. But that also makes me hopeful there will be a 2018 set.
