HARLEQUIN DEMON

At the begining of the TNBC fever - where everyone become a fan and the movie started to be mainstream -, NECA released The Nightmare Before Christmas action figure series as the very first figures that will place them as the main spootlight of the collector market. Series 2 had a Santa Jack, Dr. Finkelstein and the Witches and closed with the Harlequin Demon.

Is in this kind of minor characters where the series really shine. The Harlequin Demon is actually really small (something i never notice before), as tall as the Mayor and Doctor and he cant stand on his own but comes with the always usefull and discrete black base NECA always used.

He is articulated on the shoulders, wrists and legs and have a ball jointed mouth piece. While the legs articulations are useless, the articulation on his jaw gives him total freedom of movement, with the upper part of his head able to move up and down, rotate and tilt, this gives the impresion he is opening or closing his mouth.

Also, the tentacles on his head are bendable, soo they can curl around on any direction giving him a pretty gruesome look. The sculpt is really good, with his hairy spiked arms and yellow and orange scales on his body, along side all the black and green eyes, this guy seems to be colored on pure Halloween.

Aside of his base he comes with a table sculpted and painted like rotten wood, with scisorss and a ribon on it as well as a mallet that fits perfectly on one of his oddly shaped hands (only 3 fingers? how he can hold things?), he also have a dead rat, a vampire hat that fits on his head and between his tentacles and an orange gift box with spiders.

Despite being a pretty small creature, this guy is really fun thanks to all the accesoryes he have and his design is extremelly close to the spirit of Halloween, making him one of the best figures of series 2 along side Dr. Finkelstein
