Home Depot launches 13-foot Jack Skellington
Home Depot introduced a 13-foot-tall Jack Skellington earlier this year, surpassing its famous 12-foot skeleton from previous Halloweens.
This oversized animatronic Jack Skellington, inspired by Disney's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' is priced at $399, which is $100 more than the 12-foot version.
What sets this giant Jack Skellington apart is its animation. It features moving mouth and jaw mechanisms that synchronize with his performance of three segments from the character's theme song, 'Jack's Lament.'
Additionally, his head is detachable, offering the option of displaying him with either an angry or happy expression, making it versatile for both Halloween and holiday decorating.
Home Depot collaborated with Disney to create this large skeleton figure in celebration of the classic animation's 30th anniversary according to cnet.com.
Considering the popularity of the 12-foot skeleton in previous years, Home Depot is also offering an LED lighting kit to give the skeleton's ribcage an eerie and atmospheric illumination.
