Tim Burton's Holiday Card Set

I'm really behind with updating this blog, but since I have rest of the week off from work I have time to do my best updating my blogs.
      This was actually a birthday present (so I got this already in February) from my husband. There is two of these postcard sets on sale and I had wished for either one. The one I got is the Holiday Edition with X-massy cards, other one is Valentine's Edition with love themed postcards.

The set comes in a box with the same cover picture as The Art of Tim Burton books. There are six different illustrations, two pieces of each so 12 postcards altogether and the envelopes for every one of them. Also each of them is folded so you could write your greetings inside. As a collector I will never use these, but I still had to have them.

The Nightmare Before Christmas boardgame

I got it! It is mine, finally! 
I have been wanting this boardgame for ages and finally I bought it pretty cheap from eBay. It is used and has some tear on the box, but it has never been played with. Even the pewter figures and dices are still unopened in plastic package.

Santa Jack Skellington marionette

I have been going through old posts here replacing damaged images with new ones and adding new tags to make it easier to find interesting items and information here. While doing that I came across with the post where I had listed my The Nightmare Before Christmas statues, bobbleheads, etc. and there was a bit crappy picture of my Jack Skellington marionette. I have had it for many years and it's one of my most precious collectibles so I decided to take better pictures of it and show the details here.

Dark Shadows - The Visual Companion

About a month ago I got this really amazing Dark Shadows - The Visual Companion book. The book I first got had damage on the cover so I had to return it and wait to get a new one and that took about two weeks. Anyway now I have an undamaged version of the book and I really love it. First of all book is huge and it includes information and pictures about everything related to the movie - making ofs, costumes, scenes, characters...

 

Edward Scissorhands comicbook

This may come as news for you - at least I had no idea about this - but there has been made few comicbooks about Edward Scissorhands! It is written by Kate Leth and the artwork is done by Drew Rausch. Cover by Gabriel Rodriguez.
     The one I got is issue #1 and the cover is black and white. For this first issue there are also three other cover choices. Altogether there are five issues of Edward Scissorhands comics done so far and you can buy them here.

 The story begins from where the movie ended and these comicbooks sort of continue the story from there. In my opinion, if Tim Burton would continue the story of Edward it wouldn't go like the one in these comicbooks. Though it's funny to see one version of how someone else thinks it could go.

 I bought this one just to see what is it like and though the plot is not so much to my liking I really do like the drawing style in this, it's nice and gloomy. I probably need to buy all the rest of these too.

What do you think?  How have you thought the story of Edward Scissorhands would continue?

Chocolate Factory trading cards

Couple weeks ago I did some eBay shopping and as a result these trading cards arrived on Friday. I bought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory trading cards, a complete basic set. There are also some collectible cards available, but those I have to buy separately.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory set has 90 cards that includes characters, scenes from the movie, a checklist and a title card. On the backside of each card there is some information.

I also bought one foil pack of these cards just to get the package for my collection. Every pack has 8 cards and there might also be a more rare special card included. There is also a collection album available for these cards and I have been hunting for it for years but no luck yet.

Pirelli's Miracle Elixir

Finally something new! It is piano/vocals book from Sweeney Todd. I think I have pretty much every book there is now about Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd movie. Enjoy some pictures!
