Summary
Any self-respecting Halloween aficionado knows that it’s never too early to start preparing for the spookiest holiday of the season. Halloween might be more than two months away, butDisneyis well aware many of us like to get our creepy ducks in a row in plenty of time for October 31. First,it revealed a Nightmare Before Christmas Lego setreleasing in September, and it has followed up on that with more Nightmare Before Christmas goodness, showing off tsix moreSquishmallowscoming to the movie’s collection this fall.
Squishmallows revealed three of the six new Squishmallows coming to its Nightmare Before Christmas range on its Instagram account last week. Leading the way is the one and only Jack Skellington. Even though the Pumpkin King already has his own Squishmallow, this one is a little different. OG Squishmallow Jack is happy and smiling. This new plush shows the protagonist’s scary side, making the face Jack pulls in the movie just without his hands holding his mouth in place because Squishmallows don’t tend to have hands, at least not ones they can use.
Also revealed on Instagram are two Nightmare Before Christmas characters making their Squishmallow debuts - Dr. Finkelstein and Vampire Teddy. A couple of out-of-the-box picks as Finkelstein has a design you wouldn’t think lends itself to the adorable world of Squishmallows, and Vampire Teddy might not be a character you remember from the movie. It’s one of the toys Jack makes when he’s trying to get his head around celebrating Christmas.
Everyone Hail To The Adorable Pumpkin King
Jazwares has followed up on that initial reveal by showing off three more Nightmare Before Christmas Squishmallows that coming this fall. Sally, Zero, and Oogie Boogie are all getting new designs. While Zero and Oogie’s look similar to their pre-existing Squishmallows, Sally’s new design has a pet cat embroidered on the front to make it look like it’s sitting in her arms. Neither Jazwares nor Disney has confirmed a release date or prices for the next Nightmare Before Christmas Squishmallows, just that they will be here in time for Halloween.
Pokemon welcomed its two newest Squishmallowsthis month as Fuecoco and Bellibolt are now both available to buy at the Pokemon Center. If you’re already in the Halloween swing of things and want to stick to spookier Squishmallows,a couple of Beetlejuice designs have been revealedready for the sequel’s release in theaters this September.
