Or you could run to the local electronics store and get a whole bunch of components and control boards (I have a list somewhere) and mold android parts and make a semi-autonomous/semi-RC Marzipan Minion (I think I may have to copyright that name) and add a sound box so he can run around saying, "Can't catch me, I'm the Marzipan Man!"

And then turn him loose on the Mall Santas.
