Posted on September 17, 2019 at 10:39 am by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Video Game Toy News

At the Dead By Daylight Fan Meeting in Makuhari, Japan, the upcoming 1/6 scale statues based on the video game were on display by Gecco. They have shared photos from the event, which gives us our first look at the fully painted versions of The Hillbilly as well as the Totem. Joining those are The Wraith and The Trapper. The game is an asymmetrical online horror game for five players at a time. One player is assigned the role of the killer, while the remaining four must escape the map and avoid being killed. The game is similar in vein to the Friday the 13th video game. After release, additional horror icons and related maps were made available as paid DLC. Those include Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Jigsaw, and Ash from Ash vs Evil Dead.

The Wraith will be the first statue released. Pre-orders for that have gone live via most online retailers. It’s priced at $359.99, with a release set for some time between December 2019 and January 2020. You can see the photos from the fan event after the jump.

NECA Toony Terrors NES Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger Pre-Orders Being Cancelled

Posted on September 16, 2019 at 9:07 pm by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Video Game Toy News

Word is starting to hit that pre-orders for the Toony Terrors video game appearance versions of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees have been cancelled by NECA. Special thanks to @elimcfly88, who shared an email on Instagram detailing the cancellation (see below). The figures, which would have given a NES makeover to their 6″ scale cartoon style Jason and Freddy, were revealed just a few days ago. NECA has removed all mention of the figures from their website, Facebook page, Twitter account and Instagram page. As you may recall, due to ongoing issues with both the Friday the 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street licenses, there was to be a hold put on new Freddy and Jason merchandise. Randy Falk of NECA had said that these were designed and approved back in Summer 2018. Sadly, it appears as if that wasn’t enough to get these onto shelves.

Cancellation email that is cirulating:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, at this time we will not be able to offer the Toony Terrors Video Game Jason and Freddy figures that were just announced. We are hopeful that we will be able to offer these again in the near future and will keep you informed.
If you already places a pre-order, it has been cancled. Please feel free to contact your sales rep with any questions.
