NECA Candyman Clothed Figure 027

The original Candyman film was released in 1992. It was based on a story by Clive Barker called “The Forbidden”. The film follows a grad student named Helen Lyle, played by Virginia Madsen, researching urban myths. One that catches her attention is the story of Candyman. Legend says that if you say his name five times in a mirror, he will appear and kill the one who summoned him, using a hook on the stump of his right hand. As she investigates, she exposes a group of thugs using the legend of Candyman to silence their victims. Thinking the worst is over, she is confronted by the true Candyman, played by Tony Todd, who begs her to become his victim, so that the legend can live on.

NECA has released a new 8″ scale clothed figure of Candyman. The figure itself is based on the second film in the trilogy, Farewell To the Flesh. It includes a fabric coat, interchangeable portraits, and a removable rotting chest. I picked up the figure from sponsor Entertainment Earth. Read on to check out my thoughts, and a full photo gallery.

NECA Night of the Demons Set 029

When Scream Factory announced their Night Of The Demons – Deluxe Limited Edition Steelbook in 2018, they revealed that they worked with NECA to create an exclusive figure on Angela, one of the central characters of the film. After the success of that release, Scream Factory teamed up with NECA again to create a new limited edition release from the movie. The Night of the Demons 2-Pack features 8″ scale clothed figures of Suzanne, aka Suzy and Stooge. In the movie, ten teenagers throw a Halloween party at an abandoned funeral parlor. The teens perform a seance that awakens demonic forces, which begins taking them over one-by-one. It’s not one of my personal favorites, but the film definitely has a following.

The Night of the Demons 2-Pack is available now. It’s priced at $79.99 and can be ordered exclusively from Shout Factory. Our friends at NECA have sent the set over. After the jump ,you can check out my thoughts on the set, as well as a full hi-res photo gallery.

Trick r Treat Sam Retro and Ultimate 049

Today I have another catch up photo gallery for a pair of figures that were released in the last quarter of 2019. In this update, I’m taking a look at the excellent Retro 8″ Scale and Ultimate 7″ Scale versions of Sam from Trick ‘r Treat. For those unfamiliar with the film, Trick ‘r Treat is an anthology horror film by writer and director Michael Dougherty, who is directed Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Sam is featured in the film as the character that ties each of the stories together. He is a child-like devious creature. If you break the rules of Halloween, then you’ll pay the price. While the film was immediately a fan favorite with horror fans, its growing status as a modern cult classic seems to draw in new fans as the years go by.  Sam is known for his small stature, his orange pajamas, and the burlap sack he wears on his head.

The figures come courtesy of Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, check out my thoughts and all of the hi-res photos in the gallery. The figures are in stores now.

NECA They Live Ghouls 042

The NECA Toys They Live 8″ Scale Figure 2-Pack has just hit the NECA eBay Store and the NECA Amazon Store. To commemorate the release, we have an advanced look at the set. In John Carpenter’s cult classic They Live, a nameless drifter (now known as John Nada) is just looking to get by, working any jobs he can. While taking a job on a construction site, he comes across sunglasses that reveal a terrible truth. The specialized lenses block out an alien signal that shows that Earth has been infiltrated by strange looking aliens, masquerading as humans. The aliens are using subliminal messaging to lull the world into a false sense of security, allowing the ghouls to go by unnoticed. As Nada takes justice into his own hands, he comes across a group of rebels who stand against the invading ghouls, and look to alert humanity to the danger around them.

The new 2-pack features two of the “ghouls” from the film. The male and female aliens are revealed at the end of the film, when the world is shown the true appearance of those among them. The figures are part of the retro style clothed figure line. The set includes a magazine and a newspaper with the hidden massages on the front and back. Also included is a TV set that showcases a ghoul masquerading as a politician.

Not only have our friends at NECA supplied us with the figure, but they have confirmed that more figures based on They Live are in the works! They hinted that the likeness rights may have been acquired for some of the cast. After the jump, you can check out my thoughts and photos for the set.

Nightbreed Decker 8 Inch Figure 033

The cult classic horror film Nightbreed is nearing it’s 30th anniversary. The film, directed by Clive Barker, follows Aaron Boone, who is suffering crippling nightmares of a city full of monsters. When he visits a psychologist named Dr. Phillip Decker, Boone is framed for the serial killer murders that Decker is committing. Chased down and killed by police, Boone is brought back to life as an inhabitant of Midian, the monster filled city he had visions of. Together, they are forced to face Decker as he schemes to destroy the underground city, and all the monsters who dwell there.

Nightbreed is a fascinating film, with amazing set pieces, a great assortment of creature designs, and a surprising amount of world building. Sadly, it suffered immensely from studio interference, which resulted in a much shorter theatrical film than Clive Barker had wanted. There are have been multiple cuts of the film over the years. The three main versions are the Theatrical Cut, the Cabal Cut, and the recent Director’s Cut. Each one is actually quite different, with the Cabal Cut and Director’s Cut shifting focus away from Decker, and adding more to the Midian mythology. The theatrical cut is the most widely known, and gives us some great scenes with Decker, who is played by horror icon David Cronenberg.

NECA has released an 8″ scale figure of Dr. Phillip Decker in their cloth figure line. The masked figure includes an impressive array of bladed weapons, as well as a suitcase for storing some of the knives. Our friends at NECA have provided us with the figure. After the jump, check out my thoughts and full gallery.

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.

When you think of John Carpenter’s iconic run of movies in the late 70’s and early 80’s, most will think of The Thing, Halloween, Escape From New York, and probably Big Trouble in Little China. But, between his theatrical releases of Halloween and Escape From New York, he directed an often under appreciated gem in The Fog. Released in 1980, the film focuses on the coastal town of Antonio Bay, California. The town is celebrating it’s centennial when a mysterious fog rolls into town, and people are brutally murdered. The town’s celebration falls on the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Elizabeth Dane, a ship led by a leper named Captain Blake, as he set sail with others to form a new leper colony. But, the ship is purposely misdirected and sinks, killing all those aboard. Now, the ghostly captain and his crew return, searching for what is rightfully theirs, and killing any who gets in their way.

Now, 38 years after the release of the film, we have our very first action figure from The Fog! The new Captain Blake figure is part of NECA’s 8″ scale retro Mego inspired line. The figure is in stores now. We grabbed the figure from sponsor Entertainment Earth. Check out the photo gallery and review after the jump.
