Ahead of this year's holiday celebrations, collectible toy and art company Kidrobot announced that it would be launching a series of 'Nightmare Before Christmas' plush toys in collaboration with Disney that celebrate the 1993 claymation film from Henry Selick and Tim Burton.
The collection includes 10-inch plush toys that emulate Jack Skellington and his loving ragdoll friend, Sally. Kidrobot offers its Jack Skellington plush toys in a range of different designs, including a classic iteration that shows the protagonist with his white skull face and black suit, in addition to an eerie pumpkin-headed version and another that shows him in his Santa Claus outfit.
The Nightmare Before Christmas plush toys are available through Kidrobot's web store.
