Jack and Sally - Nightmare Before Christmas

I finally saw Jack and Sally at Disneyland and "yes" these are the professional in-house costumes from the theme park and not fan-made, but I thought it might help those of you who have thought about making your own costume - especially Jack - it was very creative how they did his head and mask. I have seen a lot of other people try to pull Jack off... on Halloween, but I thought Disney did a good job.

and I think part of what makes Jack - "Jack" is his neck and the fact that this "orb" sits on this "stick" which does not come across in most Jack costumes.

I admit this mask is a little odd shaped and perhaps the mouth is too... elongated

But the challenge is making a skull, (which is supposed to be under your skin) not look like a bulky mask and thereby disproportionate
 
I do like how the neck is and how he is able to talk, but I think it would look better if they made it more of a sphere shape instead of a pear/oval
 
Yikes. Jack's costume (while I'm sure fun to look at in person) is a little terrifying in a picture. Especially when I can't tell if he's actually wearing a tailcoat like he should be.

Sally looks amazing, but I expected more from Jack. The skeleton gloves make me think of a teenager trying to pull it off on Halloween. I know it's hard to make your hands look like bones, but there are ways.

I've got a few ideas on how to pull together a convincing Jack, and I'll post them once I get around to construction (and find a person to dress as him...)
