Toy OTD: JUN Planning Corpse Bride Figure: Scraps

JUN Planning is still the king of Tim Burton merchandise - word has it that he was so happy with their Nightmare Before Christmas figures, that he personally requested them to make a Corpse Bride line. And they didn't disappoint!

It's another terrific figure - it looks like you snatched it right off the set. There's almost no paint work to speak of, and the articulation is pretty minimal. The sculpt and construction is so good, though, that it's still an awesome display piece (the loose, red-vinyl collar is a nice touch)!

I think the only minuses with this toy involve the base. I don't recall there being any instructions included with the figure, and setting it up isn't really intuitive. I improvised as best I could, but that leaves an awkward-looking hole in plain view, which I'm not sure is correct. Also, the base isn't really on theme with the movie - ideally, I would've preferred a cobblestone street, a wooden floor, or a patch of ground that would look more like an environment from the movie. This one strikes me as a bit generic and bland - like one you'd buy from an art supply store. Still, it's awesome that JUN included a base at all!

You can still get this figure easily and inexpensively - it costs $39.99 + shipping at wizardwebshop.com. Happy shopping!
