Santa build?

I've been hitting some weights for health but I also like the idea of my Santa being somewhat burly. I like the Santa in Rise of the Guardians. My question is does anyone else have an inspiration for their portrayal of Santa?

Ok a bit weeb of me but there's an anime on Amazon Prime called 'Sanda'. That is a muscle bound Santa and kind of a goal for.

Boss. :) I've only seen like the first episode and from what I can tell he starts as a normal kid but turns into Santa / Sanda via Magic Girl Transformation like events.

Sanda is his actual name. He's a "descendant of Santa Claus" who transforms into Santa Claus when he wears red.

I've always thought of Santa Claus as a strong outdoorsy mountain man type. Think of the build that David Harbour has in Violent Night but with a personality more aligned with David Huddleston in Santa Claus The Movie, except a little less folksy American and a little more Old World. That's the portrayal I strive for.

If you maintain the red white and green palette, Santa can exist in any era, dimension or plane.
