The Nightmare Before Christmas gets a dark FuRyu prize collection
FuRyu is bringing five The Nightmare Before Christmas prize items to Japanese amusement facilities from October, including a dark Christmas tree and Jack-themed goods.
FuRyu is bringing a new wave of prizes based on The Nightmare Before Christmas to amusement facilities across Japan from October 2026, with releases continuing into November. The line-up turns Tim Burton’s Halloween-meets-Christmas world into five seasonal items, including a Jack face bag, character face mascots, a dark Christmas tree and new plush figures.12
The official FuRyu campaign page shows the collection alongside Jack Skellington and Sally, while its October schedule lists the face mascots for the fifth week, the character face bag for the fourth week, and three plush products for the first week. The campaign is presented as an amusement-prize range rather than a standard retail launch, so availability will depend on participating venues.1
The most eye-catching item is the dark Christmas tree, a roughly 65cm assembly piece with black branches, purple stars, silver ribbon and Jack-themed ball ornaments. The range also includes ten small face mascots representing characters including Jack, Sally, Zero, Lock, Shock, Barrel and Oogie Boogie, giving fans a cheaper way to collect the cast.2
FuRyu’s other October items include a white character face bag measuring roughly 37cm by 34.5cm and plush releases built around Jack and Zero. A noodle-stopper figure is also planned, using Jack’s long limbs, striped suit and bat-shaped collar as part of its seated pose. The products are scheduled to arrive in stages, rather than landing as one complete set.2
The promotion is a tidy fit for The Nightmare Before Christmas: it leans into the film’s distinctive silhouettes and seasonal tension instead of flattening the property into generic Christmas merchandise. The official page currently lists the campaign’s October items, but individual stock and participating amusement facilities may vary.1
Our opinion
FuRyu has picked the right angle here. The dark Christmas tree is the standout because it makes the film’s central joke — Halloween Town trying to do Christmas — into something you can actually put in a room. The face bag and mascots offer the accessible hooks, while the Jack and Zero plushes cover the softer end of the range. It is a more characterful collection than a generic logo-heavy tie-in, even if fans outside Japan will need to rely on resale listings or importing once the prizes appear.
The prizes will be introduced at amusement facilities throughout Japan, with the exact timing and availability subject to change. Readers should check FuRyu’s official prize information before travelling or buying.1
