ReAction News: Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Funko and Super 7 are releasing figures for the ReAction line based on the movie The Nightmare Before christmas.
The ReAction line creates 3 ¾” figures in a retro "Kenner" 5POA style.

The Nightmare Before christmas is a weird but enjoyable Yule movie released in 1993.

 This is a grinning Jack, it is a pity he didn't come with a different accessory like a red and white Yule hat.

What is the go with this facial expression?  Its bizzare, and i think i love it, i wish the variants had different names so buying online was easier. I would have liked a different accessory, like his ghost dog?

This is the one i think of as the "normal" Jack, he has his book of holidays, i think.

I like that this figure is so tiny and comes with a bunch of accessories.

Is it wrong that i dont even remember him from the movie, i only re-watched it last year... Still who wouldn't want a big guy with an axe in his head?

 Ahhh the created stereotype of a devil, he is cute, i think his pitchfork is adorable.

Like most politicians he is two faced. He is a cool figure.

A completly superflious character, really i would have rather had any other background character, the Ishtar bunny, Santa, Boogie  anyone really. I suppose she is an okay figure, and comes with her poising tools by the look of it... I think she is missing her stitches?

Opinion:

These figures look highly polished and i don't know if they fit exactly into the ReAction line, i cant quite put my finger on what it is, so it may be nothing. something about the Mayer definitely doesn't sit right with me for some reason.
Having said that Jack, Devil and Barrel will probably find a home here.

Released: 

August 2014

About the holidays:

christmas is a christian holiday believed to have been incorporated into the christian calender to help convert the pagans, it is heavily based on Yule, the pagan holy celebration of the winter solstice. Yule is celebrated 21 or 22 December in the northern hemisphere and 21 June in the southern hemisphere.

Halloween or Samhain is a seasonal religious holy day celebrated on the 30th of April–1st of May in the Southern Hemisphere, and as it is a seasonal festival it is celebrated on the 31st of October –1st of November in the northern hemisphere.

At Samhain the veil between this world and the spiritual world is very thin, as such it is a time to communicate, honor and pay respect to those who have died.

 Season Three Spoilers! 

Merle Dixon racist brother of the crowd favorite Daryl Dixon. He eventually fought his evil ways to do some good.

Merle Dixon is number 69  in wave 3 of the Funko vinyl Pop! The Walking Dead Television figure line.

 All up the figure is pretty cool, and a decent representation.

Just based on the head i would not be able to identify who this figure was.

Merle has a weird mark on his face, i assume its facial hair but it looks kind of odd without a mouth. I like the lines under his eyes.

His hair is kind of cool, i like how its done.

This is how i would be able to identify him, it looks awesome.
 

He also has a pistol in his belt holster. 

Here he is with his Walker version.

Some of my figures have an important human rights message.
