If you find it for that low, throw the score up to four stars. Compared to the Oogie Boogie $25 set, Lock, Shock & Barrel clocked in about $28-30. This box set is real pricey compared to what you actually get.
These aren't designed to be kids toys but toy collectors will enjoy having these characters fill out their displays. Let's hope that the other accessories come out at some point. There are a few things that would be great to have been included, most notably the large bag Lock, Shock & Barrel use to kidnap Santa, the bug in a cage that Oogie eats, etc etc. It's a nice add-in and great that it has articulation in the legs.
Last of course the bathtub that the gang use as a transport to kidnap Sandy Claws. Other things this box set comes with is Barrel's famous lollipop which he can hold (though not too well), an axe, and a claw trap. They do stay on long enough to take some pictures but any sudden movements will send the masks to the floor. though the drawback is that they don't stay on incredibly well. All sculpted great with decent paint, they have tabs that fit into place. Let's start with what we DO have: REMOVABLE MASKS! The key accessory for each of the gang are their signature masks. The Nightmare Before Christmas figures always had some great accessories, and we have some good ones here, but there needs to be more, I think.
The crank on the back unfortunately doesn't move. The bathtub has a bit of articulation too! Four legs that move and the heel of each have articulation also. It's pretty decent for figures this small. Neck ball joint, shoulders, wrists, waist, and legs. Again, I just think it's the soft plastic used that keeps these figures from looking really good.Įach Lock, Shock, and Barrel have the same amount of articulation which adds up to about seven each. They look rather flat to me but they're not horrible in anyway. Paint apps here are decent and good, but nothing pops. I haven't risked pulling it off but I'm just assuming that it's not a removable hat. Just a note for those wondering, Shock's hat seems to be glued on. But still, these are great little figures that look good with or without the rest of the gang. It also might be something to do with the plastic, as it doesn't look as smooth as they should be. they really are PERFECT but because they're so small, they lose some of the little touches of the original puppets. if it says REEL TOYS on it, that's the ticket.Īlmost perfect would be a good way to describe these figures. At first I was a bit confused if this was just another one of those cheap knock off PVC sets since it was so small, but sure enough. Front of the box displays all what's included clearly while the back of the box does the same in picture form. There's some great photography on the sides of the box though with one side showing the rascals with their masks on, the other side without. The trio comes in a nice little box that is serviceable as far as presentation and protecting the toys, but that's as far as it goes.
LOCK SHOCK AND BARREL SERIES
Series 4 and 5 have just recently hit the stores as did the box set for three favorites: Lock, Shock & Barrel that we'll be taking a look at.Īnd just to get it straight from the get go, Lock is in the devil outfit, Shock is the girl, and Barrel is the skull mask. NECA has been handling the NBX toyline for the past two years and they're still going strong.
LOCK SHOCK AND BARREL HOW TO
Tim Burton said recently that Disney has only now figured out how to market the film, and he's right in some respect as we live in an age where you can't escape seeing someone with a Jack Skellington on someone's t-shirt, sweatshirt, hand bag, or even as a bumper sticker on a daily basis.
LOCK SHOCK AND BARREL MOVIE
Which means around this time, I always dig up some time to give this movie a whirl or two. Many animated films come and go, but films like NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS have the extra edge of not only being a Christmas film, but a Halloween film as well.
