Thanks everyone! ;D
Here's a mini FAQ (even though I haven't had any Q yet
).
Q: Why have Illumina Day this December?
A: Illumina wears an outfit that's nearly completely white, her cat is completely white and she is said to be "cold." She screams winter to me, so it just seemed to fit.
Q: Why have the day on the 15th?
A: MattyCollector.com has their MOTUC sale days on the 15th of every month. So, in general, the people who collect the MOTUC line will be online that day to either order a figure, see if the figure is sold out, see how everyone else's order went, etc. It's the best chance to get the Illumina Day campaign seen (and help remind people to post their creations!).
Q: Who is Illumina?
A: Illumina is a character meant to make her first appearance in MVCreations' MOTU Volume 3, Issue 4 comic. She was to have the story line in the bio that's on the image I posted above. The variant cover of Issue 4 (showing Illumina and her Cat) was advertised in Volume 3, Issues 1, 2 and 3. Then, she never appeared in Issue 4 because Mattel instituted a "no new characters" policy and put a strict limit on the characters that could be used and the stories that could be told.
Anyhow, since that time, Illumina has gotten sort of a cult-status following over the years. It began when she kept being advertised though, with MVC readers wondering who she was and how she would fit into the story, when they saw the beautiful, evocative and mysterious cover image.
Here's the last advertisement of Illumina from Volume 3, Issue 3:
