Just in time for spooky season, LEGO are releasing a 2,193-piece set celebrating Tim Burton and Henry Selick's iconic stop-motion musical horror fantasy, The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The Nightmare Before Christmas kit was conceived as a LEGO Ideas set, created by a fan designer and voted into fruition by LEGO fans.
Beloved by kids and adults alike, The Nightmare Before Christmas was released in 1993, with an ensemble voice cast including Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, Ken Page, Paul Reubens, Glenn Shadix and Ed Ivory. Longtime Burton collaborator Danny Elfman composed the score.
According to the official LEGO site, the kit contains eight of the most beloved characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas: Jack Skellington, Sally, Santa Clause, Lock, Shock and Barrel minifigures, plus Zero the dog and a brick-built The Mayor figure with 2 faces.
The set also features connectible models of three of the movie's most iconic locations – Spiral Hill, Jack Skellington’s house and the Halloween Town Hall.
