Toyso came up with the idea for an original event called “Once Upon a Time” several months ago and already has awesome skin ideas for Reinhardt, Widowmaker, Doomfist, and more.

Now, Soldier has joined the party with a great skin inspired by the Fairy Tale Hansel and Gretel that turns him into a young lad who just wants some sweets.

“Who is nibbling at my house?”

Hansel and Gretel is the classic tale of two children being sent into the forest by their parents to get eaten by a witch, but save themselves by pushing her into the oven instead.

Soldier: 76 has been turned into Hansel (not Gretel) with some lederhosen worn from his adventures in the forest.

The former Strike Commander Morrison doesn’t look like a small hungry child, instead he looks more like Geralt in some Witcher 3 fairy tale mod.

But it’s not just Soldier that got a makeover – his weapon and healing pod have both been constructed out of gingerbread and candy salvaged from the witch’s house.

Now that soldier has his Hansel skin, that raises the question of who will be Gretel? Something which only Toyso probably knows the answer to.
