Halloween Village And Other Nightmare Before Christmas Collectibles

Films directed by Tim Burton have become something of a cult and this is shown in the amount of interest there is in “Nightmare Before Christmas” collectibles. This animated feature has many interesting characters and tells the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, who is responsible for organizing Halloween every year. Jack becomes bored and gets involved with Christmas instead. His misadventures make him go back to his comfortable world of Halloween.

Action figures are very popular in the series, particularly those for Jack, Sally, Dr Finklestein and Oogie Boogie. Jack’s version of Father Christmas, Santa Jack, is also a best seller. “The Nightmare Before Christmas” figures come with a display stand. Clothing and bags are also in the range. Young people like to wear the hooded jackets, t-shirts, and backpacks embroidered with the characters. A scarf, beanie hat and gloves set is also available.

There are some unusual Gothic pieces of memorabilia from the movie, including a pewter candelabra and a set of Christmas Tree Ornaments. The yuletide theme is continued with a Wind Up Jack on a Snowmobile toy. Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Mask sets add a macabre touch to one’s décor! They can be mounted on the wall and they feature Jack with five different expressions, made from porcelain. There are also Oogie Boogie, Jack and Zero the dog Head Knockers. Jack and Sally resin bookends are useful, decorative items.

Other merchandise includes key rings, purses, wallets, calendars, jumbo pencil sets, watches and jewelry. Movie posters are also popular and will be valuable collectibles in the future. Budding guitarists can also involve themselves with “Nightmare Before Christmas” memorabilia by collecting holographic guitar picks. For the really ardent fans, there are six-foot life size inflatables of Jack and Sally. They make a charming couple!

Each year, Halloween is much anticipated and it can be made even more special with a “Nightmare Before Christmas” Halloween Village. This comes complete with lighted buildings as shown in the film, including Jack’s house, the Town Hall in Halloween Town, and the houses of the witch, the bat and the cat. There is also Dr Finklestein’s spooky laboratory. The figures in the village include Jack and the good doctor and are all handcrafted. “Nightmare Before Christmas” collectibles are a lot of fun for both adults and children and they bring the movie to life. They are made to a high quality standard and add an unusual touch to any home.
