NECA has revealed a Jack Skellington figurine for The Nightmare Before Christmas’ 30th-anniversary.
Jack and His Lantern
The 9” tall figurine is fully poseable and wears the familiar pinstripe suit. An official description from the NECA website is below.
”Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Disney’s Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas with this new Jack Skellington articulated figure! This frightful fellow is dressed in fabric clothing and stands 9” tall. His fully articulated body has an attachable display stand to let you create a wide variety of delightfully expressive poses and comes with a pumpkin accessory—resealable clamshell packaging.”
Widely considered to be one of the most beloved Christmas movies ever made, Tim Burton’s 1993 stop-motion animated movie The Nightmare Before Christmas tells the magical tale of Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween Town, who has grown bored with his life until one day he discovers the world of Christmas and proceeds to put his very own stamp on the season, with unfortunate results. It’s imbued with the quintessential Tim Burton eccentricity.
The Nightmare Before Christmas has had an eventful 30th anniversary year so far. There’s a concert that sees the original Jack and Sally reunited on stage, a companion book, and even some wistful pondering about a prequel from the original director, Henry Selick.
You can currently watch The Nightmare Before Christmas on Disney Plus if you want that festive fix of Halloween and Christmas together.
The Jack Skellington figurine will cost $34.99 and can be pre-ordered at the NECA store. The figurine is set to be dispatched in January 2024.
