Review: NBX Minimates Series 2 & 3 (Diamond Select)

Halloween may be gone, but Christmas is rapidly approaching, and The Nightmare Before Christmas is a movie that luckily spans both holidays. Our friends at Diamond Select Toys put out some really great NBX collectibles, and today I take a look at two of the recent series of blind-bagged Minimates that they put out.

Both Series 2 and Series 3 are made up of eight figures. Jack and Sally are included as part of each of the series, but they are the same Minimates as in Series 1, but the other six in each series are either new sculpts or variants there of. Each case of blind packs are made up of an assortment, and each case contains one complete set of figures.

Here is a closer look at each series.

Series 3

Overall, I like the breadth of the line of NBX Minimates, with the inclusion of not just the main characters, but also the secondary characters. Series 4 is coming out soon, and with it comes even more fun characters, including Snowman Jack, the re-release of Dr. Finkelstein and the original Oogie Boogie, Igor (one of my personal favorites) and more.

Last week, while out and about on a road trip, the NBX Minimates joined me in a little outdoor photo shoot at a cemetery local to one of the hotels I was staying at. While we didn’t have a lot of time to shoot, I was able to get a nice group shot in perfect fall weather.
