Review: NBX Select Action Figures Series 7 & 8 (Diamond Select)

Hey Gang!

With the Christmas season gearing up post Thanksgiving, through the next five weeks, and hopefully into the new year, I will be sharing some new reviews of item I have gotten throughout the summer and into the fall. If they are currently available at a retailer, I will let you know where you can pick them up, either for yourself or the ones you love. Starting off with today, I take a look at two of the most recent sets of Nightmare Before Christmas Select Action Figures by Diamond Select, who was gracious enough for sending these over to me this summer.

 

Series 7

 

Series 7 the Select Action Figures line includes Snowman Jack (as featured in Christmastown), Big Vampire, and Tall Vampire. The other two Vampires in the quartet come in Series 8. Each package comes with a part to build Halloweentown’s Guillotine (which gets completed with parts from Series 8).

Snowman Jack

Snowman Jack comes with swappable parts to create a snowman, a candy cane umbrella, and a penguin.

 

Big Vampire

Big Vampire comes with his umbrella, attached to a changeable hand. In order to fit him into packaging, the back half of his robe needs to be attached after opening.

 

Tall Vampire

Tall Vampire also comes with his umbrella, attached to a changeable hand.

Here is a look at Series 7 together, and the pieces so far for the Guillotine.

 

 

Series 8

Series 8 includes Burnt Santa Jack, the Small Vampire & Helgamine, and the Short Vampire & Zeldaborn. As with Series 7, they also come with pieces to build the Halloweentown Guillotine. Let’s check them out.

 

Burnt Santa Jack

 

This version of Jack Skellington comes with a display stand, as his thin proportions make it necessary.

 

 

 

Small Vampire & Helgamine

The Small Vampire some with an umbrella, attached to a changeable hand. Helgamine comes with a broom.

 

 

Short Vampire & Zeldaborn

The Short Vampire, as with the other three, comes with an umbrella, attached to a changeable hand. Zeldaborn comes with a broom.

 

 

What’s great about these two series is that it brought to the Nightmare Before Christmas Select line two groups of fan favorite characters: the Vampire Quartet and the Witch Duo. I’m really loving how, in the history of this line from Diamond Select, they have been able to expand the breadth of the characters very well.

 

 

Overall, these two series of action figures are great. And, if all of them are collected, the Halloweentown Guillotine.

Special thanks to the Diamond Select team for sending these over to me this summer to review. They are an awesome, and talented, group of individuals… and they put out a lot of great items each year.
