Baby Beetlejuice: The Terrifyingly Adorable Addition to Your Collection
The afterlife just got a whole lot cuter (and creepier) with the arrival of Baby Beetlejuice, the newest addition to Tim Burton’s delightfully macabre world. This pint-sized terror, first seen wreaking havoc in the recently released Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, is now available as a life-size doll from NECA, bringing the mischievous spirit right into your home.
A Chip Off the Old Block:
While Baby Beetlejuice may lack the glib tongue and booming voice of his iconic father, he’s a true agent of chaos in his own right. Sporting a signature Beetlejuice-esque fashion sense and a penchant for mischief, Baby Beetlejuice proves that even the smallest of creatures can embody the spirit of mischief and mayhem. The movie’s human star, Justin Theroux, sings praises for this puppet sensation: "That was my favorite prop in the whole movie – like, an incredible piece of machinery and artwork," he remarked, "It’s like a doll. It’s controlled by a bunch of people that can turn its head, look up, down, blink, make expressions, be shocked, be vicious." The movie version, while visually stunning, is a testament to the art of puppetry and a team of talented puppeteers.
Bringing Baby Beetlejuice Home:
While NECA’s version might not be quite as expressive as its big-screen counterpart, it still delivers a remarkable likeness, capturing the essence of Baby Beetlejuice’s unsettling charm. This meticulously crafted doll features a five-point articulation, posable eyes, expertly rooted synthetic hair, authentic movie details and a weighted body for a realistic feel.
The doll’s 14-inch seated stature and 19-inch length when lying flat make it a true centerpiece for any Beetlejuice collection. Complete with tailored Beetlejuice-inspired clothing, the doll is presented in a collector-friendly window box packaging, making it a cherished collector’s item.
