PUMPKIN KING JACK

After an odd series 3, with very little accesoryes and a lot of recyling, it wasnt very clear if NECA would continue theyr The Nightmare Before Christmas action figure series, but with the arrival of series 4 it was clear they had still inspiration to continue. The very first figure from series 4 was Pumpkin King Jack, the very first character to appeare on the movie.

Of course i didnt doubt to get him, this is probablly the coolest and most awesome variation of Jack Skellington and works both as a figure and as part of the diorama. He is very tall like all Jack figures and is very well articulated on the neck, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, waist, legs, knes and ankles. All articulation works good but it suffer the same fate as the other Jack figures: easy to break articulations.

The sculpt is really good, with the thorn shirt fliying around and his hands looking like branches, most of the figure is cast in plastic color soo the paint is keept as minimom (only on his straw under body and face,wich gives him a pretty clean look.

His accesoryes consist on the always usefull and discret black base as well as four different pumpkins. This pumpkins are recycled from Sally and the first Jack, but this time around is good to have more pumpkins to add to the display, also all four are totally different to each other and have theyr own personality. Jack cannot hold them of course, but this little guys can help to hide the base on his feet.

His other accesory is the Halloween Town sign, that have a trully good looking texture and paint that looks like ancient wood. The sign fits on a hile on his back and it can be moved up or down if theres not too much vertical space to place him.

And overall this is an extremelly good looking figure that works amazing displayed with the rest of the Halloween Town citizens or by hows own, all alone and surrounded by pumpkins. Despite the fact i had to glue his wrists, he is one of my favorites of the NECA collection.
