Late September. It's about that time of year when stores start filling up with orange and black Halloween items and decorations.
I remember when I used to go around with a plastic pumpkin bucket saying "trick or treat!"
But now, I'd rather go
"trick and treat!" and do both.
(This is just a pillaging!)
So anyways, hey there everyone this is Tominon.
In this entry, I'll be taking a look at the man perfect for the occasion, Jack Skellington!
* Disney Characters Formation Arts The Nightmare Before Christmas 6 pieces
These vignettes look like they were cut straight out of the film.
Decorate your room with these and it'll instantly turn Halloween-y.
All five together is quite a sight!
I like how Tim Burton's characters aren't just creepy but also have comical sides to them.
* Kingdom Hearts II Play Arts Vol.3 Jack Skellington
Kingdom Hearts II Jack!
They really did well with reproducing Zero's floatiness. He looks ready to float off!
Great little pumpkin nose too.
But boy, do I envy Jack's slender legs. (Because he's a skeleton!)
Even extra skinny jeans are probably too loose for him.
* Kubric Pajamas Jack & Zero 2 pack set
The rare Jack-in-pajamas. Looking angry for some reason. Maybe he just woke up.
* SCI-FI Revoltech Series No.005 Jack Skellington
This is my personal favorite! The only skeletons with so many facial expressions are Jack, and Brooke (of One Piece).
The base with Halloween decorations is really well sculpted too. Each jack-o-lantern has a different expression!
* MAF DX Prop Size Jack Skellington
The Prop Size Jack is
45cm tall.
That's
huge!
At this size, you can hug him and hold him and stuff!
The villain of Halloween Town,
Oogie Boogie, is open for preorders as well.
The included face parts.
The layout kind of makes you want to roll a bowling ball at it.
* The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack
A tired looking Jack!
Only in Halloween Town do you lean on a tombstone for support when you're down.
* The Nightmare Before Christmas Santa Jack & Zero
And here's Jack looking all happy in his Santa Claus outfit!
The presents are evil and all, but the way Jack smiles is so cute!
* The Nightmare Before Christmas Sally & Black Cat
Oh, and how about Jack's partner, Sally?
I was really impressed by her kindness, the smooth motions of her hair, and her
impressive poisoning skills in the film.
The Nightmare Before Christmas has such fluid animation for a stop motion film.
So there you have it: Jack, the skeleton with highly developed face muscles.
The expressionless children of today could learn a thing or two from him.
Well then, see you next time!

P.S. Beetlejuice is great too
"I don't have any muscles though! Because I'm a skeleton!"
