The set also features a collection of quirky characters, including Jack Skellington, Sally, Santa Claus, Lock, Shock, Barrel, Zero the dog, and a two-faced brick-built figure of The Mayor. Adding to the detail, several accessories are included, such as a lift-off roof revealing Jack Skellington's Christmas formula, a detailed graveyard, a walking bathtub, and the Town Hall lectern where Jack delivered his famous speech.
