MUMMY BOY & BAT KID

Series 4 of The Nightmare Before Christmas action figure series by NECA managed to release some fantastic characters with very high quality, like the Pumpkin King, the Devil and Igor, tough it had an issue with "small characters" like the final figures in the series, the Mummy Boy and Bat Kid.

This figures are tiny!!!! Just as small as Igor but much more light and lean, tough they come together wich helps to aid a little bit the feeling of paying too much for such small toys. The wuality is high tough, with the Bat Kid having a huge head with spiky hair and a very tiny body (reminds me a fetus) and huge wings, he have no paint except on his red eyes and teeth and the Mummy Boy shows some really good sculpt and paint on his bandaged body since he looks really old and dirty.

The Mummy Boy have articulated head, shoulders and legs tough the legs articulation is useless, since he cant stand with his small black base. Also i was hoping his little yellow eye could move but is not articulated at all. The Bat Kid have articulation on his neck, shoulders and wings and thats all, most of his body is totally statick. Of course, theres not too much to do on the pose department.

Like already say, the Mummy Boy comes with a small base and the Bat Kid have also a base tough is transluscent and have a rod that stick on his back. Of course he is supposed to be balancing on his wings soo is imposible to make him stand with this base.

They also comes with a rat and a toy train. I dont know wich one of this i like the most really, the rat is incrediblly detailed and expresive with his mean looking face, the party hat and the cheese with a ribon, he is even articulated on the neck!! But the toy train is also nicelly designed, with its german expresionism style and the vibrant colors, bot accesorys lookis fantastic in the display.

And thats it, fantastic quality, but only two accesorys and while this two comes together, they are still too small. Why not releasing them along side Igor? Or better yet, why not releasing them with the Cyclops and the Wolfman instead of the silly looking elves? That would make much more sense.

Despire NECA odd choice to release such small figures, it was a good thing they packed them with good accesorys this time and expensive or not, this pair are unique and important Halloween citizens.
