IGOR

The Nightmare Before Christmas action figure series by NECA was trully stellar, but at the same time it had some weird issues poping up here and there, like the re-release of figures or recycling of accesorys, tough with series 4 it looked like things were heading a good direction, a new and unique issue appeared with thr this figure of the collecion, Igor.

This guy is extremelly cute really, and is the smallest of the figures soo far being much small than the Cyclops or the Devil and against all logic, he can stand on his own even with his wonky legs. He is articulated on the head, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists and waist (under his coat) and all this articulations works really good, somehow they are much more stronger than the ones on taller figures tough he dosnt have too many poses to chose from.

He is extremelly dirty looking, with a lor of grey washes on his lab coat, colorfull patches and a grey face with raw looking hairs and a big yellow eye, he is pretty ugly looking despit being soo cute.

He comes with a base that he dosnt need at all, as well as a box of treats with a very "Burtonesque" dog design on it as well as a biscuit shaped like a bone. Sadly, make him hold this items is really tricky given his tiny hands. He also comes with the reindeer plans printed on paper. This print is really awesome and helps a lot to the display.

And here is the problem, theres not a lot of accesoryes here and he is really really tiny yet he have the same price as the rest of the figures, it was pretty odd to see 80% of his blister totally empty. He is as small as the green Witch, but that character comes with her sister, soo Igor alone feel like "is not enough".

Maybe if they packed him with other figures, even if small ones, or maybe if he comes with a big diorama accesory or something, like bony reindeers or the laboratory forniture this figure would feel much better ad less disapointing.

I mean, he looks really fantastic along side the Dr. Finkelstein and is a fun Burton figure, but sometimes its hard not to see him as just an accesory of the Evil Scientist.
