Just shy of 1000 runs spread over 2 accounts and since the begining of the event and no MPB for me.
I have speculation that the drop rate is somewhere around .001~2, or possibly lower.
I'll post again when i hit 2000 runs in a few days.

Mini Polar for 1k. I'll tell him the truth for a Christmas Present and give it back to him... AFTER christmas. Oh, yeah, ded it to before I give it back.

Edit: What do you guys think?
Early Christmas with giving him 100k while I keep the house of ectos.
Give it back and tell him to sell it for a mountain of gold?
well lets see, since he is a Noob he will have to pay his Noob dues. So if you sell the Dedicated bear for lets say 3k ectos (not sure what it would be worth dedicated). I would at least give him 5-10% of whatever you make off of it. Honestly if i sold it for 3k ectos id give him 100 to 250 ectos.

At this point I'd like to reinforce that there are a LOT of liers out there.

I say about 20 people posting WTS mini polar bear in various towns. But whenever a serious buyer tried to whisper them or trade with them... they mysteriously disappeared.

Still, I think the drop rate is more then it was last year (or at least, people are more efficient farming it now).

Lystra told me in-game that she's keeping the polar bear she has now.

Approximately 300 runs so far. No miniature polar bear, yet.
I'll edit if anything changes.

Snowmen resurect after a little while. Be careful not to aggro too many grentches or you'll die.

Happy Wintersday.

summing up the results until now, it seems like the drop rate is lower than 1:1,000.

1:10,000 would be a good guess right about now.
