Watching the process of him sculpting Jack, only made me appreciate his design sooo much more. It's a rather simple design until you take a closer look at it and find all those little important details, that make the character as endeering as he is... Really nicely done.

Yes, it will always be "Bacon Bond" in our hearts. (No one can change our mind) Wonderful sculpture! Amazing as always, and very movie accurate. I'm also so happy you used flexible Cosclay for him. It's the perfect sculpture to do so! Very satisfying result.

How tall is he?
Typically I disapprove of artists recreating Jack, because he is difficult to get "right", but this was incredibly faithful to the original. Impressive.
I would love to see your version of "The Mayor" from NBC. He is such a neat looking character who just gets glossed over when it comes to making art of NBC.
It looks movie worthy- thanks for keeping Jack “Jack”!
Yesss finally Jack Skellington:)))
WOW! That's really amazing!! It's exactly like the movie! He's perfect!
Now we need Sally, Santa, and the three Trick-or-Treaters (Lock, Shock, and Barrel)!🎃 Maybe for Christmas?🎄 LOL
Absolutely the most movie accurate version I’ve seen sculpted on KZread, you really got the proportions and shapes very close if not perfect and gave him all the personality and charm of the original!
This was amazing!!!! I love Jack!! You should make the Other Mother from Coraline sometime!!!

To think people made so many jack and other clay expressions and the way they move for about nine years... this movie was also my childhood ♥︎ love the outcome!
You did such an amazingly accurate job. The fact you got him head so spot on with the shape and having done the fun expression…. HES SO GOOD
I'm not gonna lie. I teared up several times watching this. I love The Nightmare Before Christmas and Jack especially. I LEARNED TO DRAW because I wanted to make my own awesome fanart of THAT movie. There's so much attention to detail in all your sculptures, even your original ones, and this really takes the clay for me. I never actually payed attention to sculpting or sculptors on KZread, but GOD im so glad u am here today to witness this. 😭 Thank you so much for making Jack become real by your own hands. Hail to the Pumpkin king! 👑 🎃 (ok, I'm actually crying now xD) 🦇 Edit: I wanted to say it takes the CAKE for me, but CLAY is so much more fitting. X)

Amazing work. Maybe you could do Sally so Jack doesn't feel alone ^^
Oh god the pinstripes.... I salute you sir. I salute you. That is one sharp looking pumpkin king.
Really love this sculpture, you are very talented. Hope to see more Nightmare Before Christmas characters :D, love watching your videos. Love from South Africa. x
Very well done. The hand gestures are evocative of the real thing and the face is truly expressive which isn’t easy to do.

Absolutely awesome!!! Absolutely perfect!!! He's amazing!!
Jack Skellington is a sentimental favorite of mine, and I think you did a fantastic job of putting him together! Now I need to go watch the movie again.
He looks just like his gorgeous self! He looks so dashing!!
OH MY GOD! THIS IS SUPER COOL! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JACK SKELLINGTON. GREAT JOB!!!😁
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” is undoubtedly one of my early influences for wanting to get into stop-motion filmmaking. That said, I absolutely love how your Jack Skellington turned out! Well done. 😊
I relate to you too buddy. All hail the pumpkin king!!!! 🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮
Phenomenal. I've been a fan of Tim Burton for over 30 years, I've been to his Art Exibition in LA where the actual claymation figures are displayed - YOU NAILED JACK! You got the portions, the expression, everything...well done! 👏👏👏
Perfect! The detail looks just like the movie!!
He looks exactly like in the movie! Great job Ace! Please, please, please do Sally at some point? I've seen a few other artists do figurines & poseable dolls of her, but the heads always seem too big. With how you've done Jack, I just know your version of Sally would be just perfect! 💀🎃👻😈
Definitely captured the essence of this classic movie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo
Looks awesome. My daughter loves that movie. We like Watching you sculpt.
I remember watching this movie a few years ago, and I had actually forgotten about it! Seeing you make a sculpture of THE pumpkin king just reminded me of the movie and how much I loved his character at the time, even if he scared me a tiny bit.
One of my favourite characters! .. “what’s this? ... whatever can it be?” Excellent work Ace! 👍👍
You knocked this out of the park! You need to make Sally now.
I really hope you make Sally and Zero as well. Jack and Oogie turned out so awesome!! 🎃❤
Omg I LOVE him. 😍 He, Sally and Zero are my favorite characters in Nightmare before Christmas. Great job! 🤩 Could you please sculpt Sally and Zero to?
Wow, love that fine work. I'd have to have less shaky hands for those teeth and pinstripes. I'm going to look up that flexible clay in your list. You did a great job. I did see your bow tie teaser on Twitter. 😁👋💖
Incredible how detailed you are, it shows that he is your favourite. Another fantastic video AOC 🤩
Heck yeah. Jack is my favorite character and The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite Tim Burton movie.
Wow! You did amazing of course. Spot on and Tim would be proud. I've always been scared to sculpt Jack because as simple as he seems it's sometimes the simple characters that are tough to get perfectly. Yet you did him perfectly! Great job Anthony, I think I'll try sculpting him myself in the near future.
this looks so amazing!!! it seems so accurate in my opinion! amazing job!!! fun fact: a relative of mine worked on the film and actually painted most of jacks heads for the movie! so this is real cool to see!
OMG! I LOVE THIS, I AM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS MOVIE!!!
Thats my favorite look for him...innocent look and toothy smile
This is literally an exact replica of the movie. I can't help but stare at how amazingly accurate this is! You've absolutely smashed this, perfect colouring too. I would love to see you do the three kids! (Oogie Boogies trio) I bet you'd do a great job.
I'm clueless to how anyone could not give you a thumbs up!!! Wtf! You did a stunning job!!!!!
Wow I’m a huge fan of NBC and I would have thought this was straight out of the movie, absolutely flawless 😍
OMG he did a fantastic job. I watched Tim Burton's The NightMare before Christmas not to long ago and looking back on that memory I realized he looks exactly the same. ❤️🤩👏😁

I love how he's called the Pumpkin King, and yet there is no Pumpkins on his design
Love how he turned out.
I absolutely love all things nightmare before christmas and I think you did an awesome job on Jack. I would be proud to own this and show it off with my collection. Your amazing. It was a pleasure watching you work.
