A Creepy Fairy Tale in Bricks

 

LEGO® has a long history of transforming iconic films and cultural phenomena into impressive building sets, and with the introduction of the LEGO® Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (21351) set, they have delivered another masterpiece. This set pays homage to Tim Burton's beloved stop-motion animated film, which has achieved cult status since its release in 1993. The set offers both fans of the film and LEGO enthusiasts a unique opportunity to bring the enchanted world of Halloween Town to life.

An Iconic Story in LEGO Form

The The Nightmare Before Christmas set perfectly captures the essence of Tim Burton's dark but charming world. The story follows Jack Skellington, the "Pumpkin King" of Halloween Town, who is bored with his annual routine of organising Halloween. When he discovers Christmas, he decides to take over this holiday, leading to a series of comic and frightening events.

The LEGO set brings this story to life by recreating some of the most memorable scenes and characters from the film. The set includes several buildable locations, all recreated in great detail, making it not only a building experience, but also a nostalgic journey through the film.

Details and Design

The set contains more than 2,000 bricks and offers a detailed representation of some iconic locations from the film, such as Jack Skellington's house, the village square of Halloween Town and the creepy graveyard gate. Each of these locations has been designed with precision and care to reflect the gothic atmosphere of the film. The colour palettes were carefully chosen to capture the dark, yet festive atmosphere of the film, with heavy use of black, purple, and orange tones.

In addition, fans are treated to a selection of minifigures, including Jack Skellington himself, Sally, the mischievous Oogie Boogie and the adorable ghost dog Zero. Each minifigure is designed in detail to reflect the unique characteristics of the characters from the film.

A Building Experience to Enjoy

This set is designed for both adult fans of LEGO and older children, with a recommended age of 18+. Building the set is an enjoyable challenge, testing the builder's patience and precision. The included manual is detailed and guides the builder step-by-step through the process, ensuring a satisfying and immersive building experience.

A Must-Have for Fans and Collectors

The LEGO® Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (21351) set is not only a tribute to one of the most iconic animated films of all time, but also a worthy addition to any LEGO and Disney fan's collection. The attention to detail, choice of locations and included minifigures make this set a true work of art that captures the magic of the film.

Whether you are a Tim Burton fan, an avid LEGO builder, or just looking for a unique collectible, this set offers everything you could want. It's a perfect way to relive the enchanted world of The Nightmare Before Christmas and bring a slice of Halloween Town into your own home.
