NECA Ultimates Checklist

For their “12 Days of Downloads“, a new Ultimate 7″ Scale Figure Visual Guide has been shared by NECA. The guide brings together some of their Ultimate Figures as a large checklist. Unfortunately, they left off any items that may have been a part of other visual guides, making this an incomplete checklist of their Ultimate line up. Missing are the T2 John Connor with his bike, as well as Ultimates from Aliens, Predator, Gremlins, and Back to the Future. You can check out the Visual Guide by clicking the banner image above.

New Nightmare 8 Inch Freddy 040

Twenty-Five years ago this week, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare was released in theaters. Looking to end the franchise on his terms, Wes Craven returned to the directors chair in the hopes of making Freddy Krueger a character to be feared once again. This time, instead of haunting the dreams of Elm Street children, Freddy would enter the “real” world. A demonic force chooses the character of Freddy Krueger to break into our reality. The films and its audience were acting as the bottle, keeping the genie from escaping. But, as the franchise fades, the demon plans to break out of its confines and terrorize those he associated with his misery, namely the actors from the films. Wes Craven, playing himself, hopes to re-contain the demon with an all new “Ultimate” Nightmare film. But the demonic Freddy begins his assault, wreaking havoc on the life of Heather Langenkamp, who portrayed Nancy Thompson in the original and third films. Ultimately, he views Heather as the gatekeeper, preventing him from escaping into the world. While the setup seems initially confusing, as the film unfolds, the story comes into its own for a genuinely solid and scary end to the series. The film also updates Freddy’s look a bit, changing his traditional burned make up to add more defined scarring, giving him a new glove, as well as adding a trench coat.

NECA Toys is releasing a New Nightmare Freddy Krueger in their 8″ scale retro cloth figure line. The figure includes a removable trench coat, a fedora, and swap out regular and demon portraits. Ultimately, this is likely to be the last Freddy Krueger they are able to release for a while. The U.S. film rights to the character and the original film have reverted back to Wes Craven’s estate, causing licensing issues for new product development. We picked up this figure from sponsor Entertainment Earth. We have a full photo gallery and review. You can check them out after the jump.

NES Toony Terrors Banner

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.
