I can't believe that I'm outdated in the world of Nightmare Before Christmas (NBX) merchandise. Today me and Boon were suppose to shop for a new handphone. Didn't find one because they were either too pricey or too ah-pek. So I guess I'll settle for his hp temporarily while Boon reawakened his bro's heavy-as-a-rock-killer-Nokia-weapon heehee

Enough of techie talk. Please allow me to introduce Pirate Jack to my current NBX collection by Neca. Jeng-jeng-jeng! Woohoohoo this is a special standalone edition by Neca and we found this by accident at Ultimate Toys in OneU.



No idea when this was issued and no matter that this is a pricey one. Now I have three incarnations of Jack Skellington as himself, Santa Jack and Pirate Jack. The latter appeared in a cameo in James and the Giant Peach (Roald Dahl's ingenuity) stop-motion movie directed by Tim Burton. Woohoo killer combo!

I checked Neca Online and found that NBX series 4 and 5 are coming out soon. Ahh temptation.... Guess who's gonna be in series 4? Jack as the Pumpkin King!



Makes sense to buy series 4 right? But they are pricey because you usually can't buy only one figurine, you have to buy a family of it. Decisions decisions decisions. Having bought series 1 and 2, I stopped there because I'm running out of storage space and money. Feifeipinky to answer your comment, my attention and loyalty has always been with NBX and NBX alone. The movie was just pure inspirational!

And oh! Did i happen to mention that I have a family of James and the Giant Peach collectibles? Pirate Jack completes it! heehee My display 'museum' will be ready when the time is right.
