The Nighmare Before Christmas Merchandise List

The unofficial, almost complete guide to all things from

Tim Burton's

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

This site was laboured over and compiled by Miss Joan Pixie, mostly from memory and her own collection, with help from books and other websites. This is by no means meant to be a price guide, since I don't believe in them. It's strictly a labour of love, dedicated to one of the best movies of all time.

JAPANESE RELEASES ----- 1997-1998

To Nightmare aficionados, Jun Planning is little less than GOD. Bounding on the scene with perfectly sculpted dolls and toys, these beautiful pieces could pass for movie props. The only way to make them better would be for them to be a domestic release, hence making them more affordable.
___Jack in (black) coffin box: extremely articulated, in a thick velvet-felt suit, with interchangeable smiling/crying heads. About 14" tall
___Jack in (green) coffin box: Same as jack in Black coffin box, only with two different heads (angry and confused, as I recall)
___Jack in (purple) coffin box: Comes wearing pajamas! Instead on an extra head, is packed with "the Scientific Method" book, which tells the story of the movie in very small print.
___Jack in (red) coffin box: (Sigh) Jack as Santa, limited to 1,224 (it was released on 12-24-97, Xmas eve, so I guess they thought that was a clever thing to do? (sigh loudly)
___Jack in (brick red) coffin box: not to be confused with Santa jack, this doll comes in a deeper red box, and is also known as "berserker Jack", with two angry head.
___Jack and Sally in coffin box: Twin coffin boxes hold the two dolls.
___Sally in (black) coffin box: Simply a Sally doll with Barbie-like Articulation. Watch the legs, they are loose and tend to fall off for some reason. This is the ONLY problem I have seen with Jun planning, period. About 11" tall.
___Sally in (brown) coffin box: This is the same doll as the black coffin box, only packaged with a basket and a fish bone, ala the scene where she brings food to Jack.
___Jack and Sally in double coffin. These are the same as the regular versions, with glow in the dark heads. ___Lock, Shock and Barrel: Come in a huge box, with velvety clothing and a lot of articulation. Their masks are removable, and the each stand about 7" tall.
___Mayor: Articulated, velvety suit, moveable happy/sad head, about 10" tall.
___Zero: This figure is more like a statue, on a wooden base, with his doghouse, and a pole that he fits on (gives the illusion of flying). VERY nice, Zero's head is articulated.
___Dr Finkelstein: Head flips open to reveal removeable brain, wheelchair rolls, and the figure can stand as well.
___Jack doll/figure: this is about 24" tall, and has a soft cotton head and body, with semi articulation, shoes, and a suit made of the material that the clothing on the figures is.
___Sally doll/figure: Same as Jack, only her face looks a little squished. Bright turquoise colour on her skin is a tad off, as well.
___Jack doll/figure: Same as the 24" only 48". Oh, and limited to 600 pieces.
___Sally doll/figure: Same as the 24" only 48", also limited to 600 pieces. She's bright turquoise as well.

PVC

These come on cards, in sets of three.
___Jack and Sally (the only one as a two pack)
___The Mayor, Oogie Boogie and Zero
___Lock, Shock and Barrel
___The band members
___The Vampires (set of four)
___The Spookies (Bat Boy, Mummy Boy, Zombie Boy)
___Easter Pack (Behemoth, Easter Bunny, Werewolf)
___Scarecrow Jack (pulled by Behemoth, riding the straw horse) (in box)

Other Japanese items ___Lock, Shock and Barrel Photo Album
___Jack and Sally Photo Album: these are small albums, with postcard sized pics of the characters inside. Made of plastic, with a silver snap of Jack's head for closure.

___Jack Organiser
___Jack on Moon logo Organiser: These are small, but full of things. Each calendar page has pictures of the characters on it, as does the phone book. This is TRULY gorgeous.
credit card holders, a map (of Japan, one of the few things actually written in Japanese on this), and a pocket for $$ round it out. Sweet.
___Lock, Shock and Barrel postcard/stationery set
___Sally and Jack Stationery set
___Leatherette stickers (brown, a large sheet of stickers with characters and their names (in English)
___Keychains: A keychain was made from each of the PVC, except for the band members.
___Jack and Sally in coffin keychains (I believe these come in 6 different variants, two Sally, four Jack, one of which is a Jack as santa. They're about 3" long and thin.
___Lock, Shock and Barrel keychains: these are small, 3"x 3" boxes which the characters "jump out of" cute.
___Coffin shaped gift box
___Coffin Shaped PVC carrying case (very small, no handle, black with logo)
___Clear plastic binder sheets (come with the characters on them, and their names. Lock and Shock are together, Barrel is on his own. Sally, Jack, and Oogie Boogie also exist)

SEGA items

Sega jumped on the bandwagon with Japanese items as well. These are not as well sculpted (the PVCs, anyway) and more pricey than the Jun Planning ones.

**PVC figures** (these are about 4" each, and not the greatest likenesses of the characters ever. They come in small boxes, and have a SEGA logo on them that is quite large).

___Jack ( I believe Zero is with him?)
___Jack as Santa
___Sally
___Oogie Boogie
___Santa
___Lock, Shock and Barrel in Bathtub

___Oogie Boogie Wall Clock
___Lock, Shock and Barrel Wall Clock
___Jack bank (when coin is put in, the head meets the body)
___Lock, Shock and Barrel Bank (Barrel falls and meets Lock and Shock)
___Oogie Boogie bank
Jewelry

___Lock Necklace with removable mask
___Shock Necklace with removable mask
___Barrel Necklace with removable mask
___Jack belt buckle
___Lock, Shock and Barrel belt buckle
___Oogie Boogie belt buckle
___jack in Coffin Box necklace

there will always be some items that I missed... and there is a constant influx of items from Japan... it's amazing what is being made over there. Good news is that Diamond, the main distributor/supplier to comic stores in the US, has picked up some of the Jun Planning items. If this proves a successful venture, I predict lower prices and more merchandise available outside of Japan. Which is good news for any and all NBC fans.
