I remember making a big deal out of buying this as soon as possible. It was obviously mandatory for me to buy everything to do with Nightmare Before Christmas. But as big companies love money, this collector’s item was way overpriced. And even though I had a job at the time, I didn’t have $200 just laying around. My Nana offered to front me the money and that made me one happy Burton fan.
I am extremely afraid of breaking him. He’s pretty heavy and I have lots of cats to maneuver around. Every year when I bring him out, I fear for disaster. But he’s been pretty lucky. And I still have my vhs of Nightmare Before Christmas, so I don’t need to take him out of his box-home when I feel the urge to sing along to a movie.
Since I bought him, he’s the first Halloween decoration to go out. And he stays until after Christmas, for obvious reasons. He just goes through a wardrobe change. No one else is allowed to touch him, as he’s broken once before. And I’m still pissed about it because I take pride in having mint condition items. Damn cats.
