Each of these locations has been designed with precision and care to reflect the gothic atmosphere of the film. The color palettes were carefully chosen to capture the dark, yet festive atmosphere of the film, with heavy use of black, purple, and orange tones.

In addition, fans are treated to a selection of minifigures, including Jack Skellington himself, Sally, the mischievous Oogie Boogie, and the adorable ghost dog Zero. Each minifigure is designed in detail to reflect the unique characteristics of the characters from the film.

A Building Experience to Enjoy
