Rarely do I have much to say about smell, but this The Nightmare Before Christmas Mayor
has a whiff very similar to the Onell Design Glyos figures. It's hard
to miss. The figure itself is neat, but it doesn't ring true to the
ReAction aesthetic - that is, a shameless replication of the Star Wars
form factor of 1978-1985. His foot pegs holes are even a different
size - the end result is a better figure that, while not totally out of
place in the line, really just shows that there's a sliding scale as far
as authenticity goes on this line.

As one of the people lucky enough to be aware of The Nightmare Before Christmas
months before anyone saw it thanks to Tomart's Action Figure Digest I
was also lucky enough to scope out the toys as they were new. I didn't
buy many - I still regret that, but I was also pretty young and unable
to find work. So this Behemoth is the first one I've ever owned -
and it's pretty great. He feels like a bulky, beefy Kenner figure of
old (not unlike a Sise Fromm or a Rancor Keeper) with sculpting and
detailing pretty much on the mark. Given the use of puppets, there's
really no reason to get it "wrong" as there is a disgustingly large
quantity of photos.
