Jack Skellington

Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite films and the capsule toy here faithfully reproduces the hero Jack Skellington breaking out into a song. The toy came unassembled in a large plastic egg with the torso and head as one piece and the knees and feet with base as another. Separate arms and a clear plastic support stand for the back completed the package. Assembly was a breeze with locator holes providing adequate guides to positioning the limbs. The assembled figure was a bit wobbly though so I superglued the parts to prevent the model from falling apart. The sculpting is quite well done and I really liked the detail on the base as well as Jack's bat tie. Overall, a very nice figure to add to my Nightmare collection.   Click the pictures for a bigger version.
