UNDERSEA GAL

NECA´s The Nightmare Before Christmas action figures were in theyr prime with series 5 even if the latest series had some odd issues, like very tiny figures, a lack of accesoryes or re-releases, series 5 fixed all those issues pretty fast and started with another version of Jack Skellinton, this time was Pijama Jack with an sleeping Zero and his books. While the figure was enough unique and was good looking, it is the only version of Jack i dosnt own.

Instead i waited for the second figure of the series, the Undersea Gal. This character is obviouslly based on the Gillman from The Creature of the Black Lagoon but on Tim Burton version, this monster is as tall as a human character (smaller than Sally) and is only articulated on the neck, mouth and wrists. Thats rigth, this is the most static figure soo far but her arms are made of bendable plastic with a wire, soo they can be posed without showing any articulation. I wish NECA did this with other characters tough.

Also, she cant stand at all thanks to her fish tail, but this time around NECA didnt give her any kind of base.

The sculpt is really good, with her big bulb head, huge eyes and lips and each scale on her body. The paint is very simple but works really good with the different tones of dark green and her blue claws and yellow eyes, she looks really vibrant and brigth.

She have very few accesoryes, but one of them is huge. Firts she have a stool made with old wood. This stool is really good loking with a great texture but she really cant interact with it too much. The second accesory is a HUGE cauldron, the Witches cauldron actually, with a pretty dark metal style with big bolts, this item is pivotal for the Undersea Gal.

Her fish tail can be removed and her upper body can be placed inside the cauldron wich keeps her in balance thanks to a couple of spikes that hold her. This is really the only way to make her stand by her own and add the two Witches and you end with an awesome display from Making Christmas.

This creature was one of the best looking NECA did and it made quiet aparent that series 5 was going in the rigth direction.
