Why? He's recognizable world wide and not copyrighted, not anymore to my knowledge.
I know there are figures of specific iterations of Santa, but I'm talking about plain old Santa. I would love to pose a Santa giving my other figures gifts

I think this concept is more niche than you might expect. Who would buy this Santa figure? Mostly just a few nerds who want to pose it giving gifts to their other toys. It'd bomb at retail I think, kids wouldn't see the appeal and adults would likely prefer less articulated, more charming looking ornaments or statues of good ol' Saint Nick.
I say settle for this cute little fella, or one of the other "franchise" Santa toys out there. It's as good as you're gonna get. Or y'know, pay someone to make a custom. It wouldn't be too hard.
This I guess technically counts, but I just think itd be cool if there was a fully sculpted and highly articulated Santa like a figuarts with a bunch of different hands and accessories. Not this retro styled figure....

Doesn't Coke own the rights to the generic look of Santa? Or is that just a rumor?

I doubt it. For one, it's probably old enough to be in public domain. Secondly, so many movies, etc use the imagery that they can't hold a claim to it even if they invented him. Lastly, you'd look like a total dick if you were a company suing someone for using Santa. No one wants that kind of press.

Urban legend. The iconic look of modern Santa existed before Coke used him in advertising.

I could see them doing it via A Christmas Carol.

Santa/Father Christmas was always white and red, coke didn't add white.
Our best hope for a generic Santa figure is a Holiday film being released using the design, that film being successful enough to create a demand for figures, and then figures being made of said characters and Santa.

it might speed things along if santa were in an anime, but then that runs the risk of it being another moeblob.

I got that one but it came with a present with a plane instead of a sack and elephant.
I have this same problem, but I want an articulated Jesus figure.

He was actually green in an earlier incarnation. Really he's a dozen different European winter spirits and tradtions that have merged together and changed over the centuries.
