In the wake of their epic JAWS playset release, LEGO has announced this morning that Henry Selick’s iconic classic The Nightmare Before Christmas is getting its own LEGO set.
Releasing this coming Halloween season, it’s another LEGO Ideas product, meaning the set originally began as a fan-made concept that other fans voted into becoming an official release.
The press release details, “LEGO® Ideas stumbles into Christmas Town with the reveal of the highly anticipated LEGO® Ideas Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas set. Based on the iconic 1993 film, the intricately designed set brings the eerie charm and playful details of the movie to life in brick-form!
“Prepare to be immersed in a ghoulishly delightful world, built with 2,193 pieces, and give the holidays a macabre makeover with three iconic locations from the beloved animated classic: Disney’s Spiral Hill, Jack Skellington’s house and Halloween Town Hall. Build nostalgia and revel in authentic details which include a lift-off roof revealing Disney Jack Skellington’s Christmas formula, a detailed graveyard, a walking bathtub and the Town Hall lectern where Jack delivered his famous speech.
“This collector’s set includes eight beloved Disney characters: Jack Skellington, Sally, Santa Claus, Lock, Shock, Barrel, Zero the dog, and a two-faced brick-built figure of The Mayor.”
The set was designed by UK-based LEGO Ideas member Tvrulesmylife, Simon Scott. Talking about his design, Simon said, “I’m a massive fan of LEGO builds and Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas film so I’m honoured to see my creation come to life in physical brick form. The film is such a family hit with young & old fans from around the world. The ideas team have done a fantastic job creating a wonderfully playable set that is just as appealing as a display piece.”
