Lego Releases Nightmare Before Christmas Collection, Including Elongated Figurine of Jack Skellington
Sneak Peek at Lego's Nightmare Before Christmas Set
Ever since Lego confirmed they'd bring a Nightmare Before Christmas pitch from their "Lego Ideas" platform to life, folks have been wondering how the brick-builder would tackle the film's unique forms and aesthetics. Well, the wait is over, and the result is nothing short of clever.
Today, Lego unveiled the final design for their Nightmare Before Christmas set, fashioned after a fan-submitted pitch by Simon Scott. Featuring 2,193 pieces, the set boasts three constructs inspired by Halloween Town: the Town Hall, Jack's house, and, of course, the iconic Spiral Hill, complete with its floating Moon backdrop. The shapes of these builds expertly mirror the quirky, stylized designs of the buildings from the 1993 film, even managed to recreate Spiral Hill's distinctive curve with some sleek techniques.
The set also offers a bevy of new blocky characters sterling silver hallmarked bangle bracelet (1) from the movie. It comes with six standard minifigures, including Jack—who sport massive, stilt-like legs to mirror his spindly appearance in the movie—Sally, Santa, and Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Joining them are a mini replica of Zero the Dog, designed to capture his ghostly film look, and a brick-built Mayor, who comes with two faces. Check out the images below for a visual!
