With their accessory packs, NECA has been giving fans some great display options. We’ve had multiple releases for aliens, a fantastic Friday the 13th Accessory Pack, and now fans can look forward to their A Nightmare On Elm Street Accessory Pack. This set has a clear A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors influence, featuring two very iconic pieces from the fan favorite entry in the series. The new set includes an Elm Street Sign Post, a nightmare styled Elm Street Sign Post, a Freddy Worm, and a Television Freddy (aka Prime Time Freddy). There’s been a lot of excitement and a lot of questions about the set popping up as the release date gets closer. Let’s see if we can answer some of those questions in our newest photo gallery.

Freddy’s accessory pack is set to ship out in December. Our friends at NECA were kind enough to send the set along for us to check out. We have a full gallery and review of the set. You can see them both after the jump.

One of the holy grails for collectors of NECA horror action figures is nearly any of the Halloween figures released as part of NECA’s Cult Classics series. The value on those figures has skyrocketed over the past few years, and fans have been begging NECA to reacquire the license and release a new Michael Myers figure. With a new Halloween film released last month, fans were ecstatic to see NECA snap up that license and bring an all-new Michael Myers figure to collectors. The film, a refocusing of the franchise that ignores every film after the 1978 original, sees Michael Myers return to Haddonfield 40 years after his original night of terror. Laurie Strode, a survivor of his night of terror, has spent that time preparing for his return and she finally gets a chance to exact her revenge when Michael’s new killing spree leads him to Laurie’s remote home.

For the figure, NECA crafted an all-new sculpt based on his look in the film. Michael Myers includes two interchangeable heads, multiple interchangeable hands, a kitchen knife, a hammer, a fire poker, a Judith Myers tombstone, a light up Jack-O-Lantern, and a severed head. Our friends at NECA have given Toyark an exclusive sneak peek at the figure, allowing us to share our own photo gallery and review with fans. After the jump, check out over 70 high resolution photos and my thoughts on the new figure.

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.

In 2016, TOHO released their first Godzilla film in over a decade. Shin Godzilla was their answer to the U.S. Godzilla reboot, which debuted in 2014. TOHO has rebooted Godzilla numerous times to ignore previous films, with the exception of the original. Nearly every franchise restart existed in a world where Godzilla attacked Japan in 1954. Shin Godzilla, however, was a complete break away from previous entries. In the film, there were no prior attacks by Godzilla, and this new version differed greatly from his predecessors. Shin Godzilla was portrayed as an ever-evolving creature, heavily scarred and grotesque. He becomes larger, more aggressive and more powerful with every new form he takes. In the films most devastating and surprisingly powerful scene, Shin Godzilla unleashes his atomic blast/energy beam attack. Starting off as full on fire breath, the attack turns to pure energy, and Shin Godzilla expels beams from his tail and dorsal fins, which utterly devastates Tokyo and finally reveals how powerful the creature is.

Last year, we reviewed the NECA Toys Shin Godzilla Figure, and a new variation of the figure is in stores now. We picked up the Atomic Blast Shin Godzilla 12″ Head-To-Tail Figure from sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, you can check out my thoughts on the release, as well as a full photo gallery.

Expanding on the universe set up in Prometheus, Dark Horse Comics published Fire and Stone. This was a multi-part story arc that pulled together their Alien and Predator comic series. The story arc explored what happened on LV-223 after the Engineer ship crashes at the end of the film, after David and Shaw leave to find the Engineer home world. Ahab, a battle-hardened Elder Predator looking to hunt an Engineer, is pulled into a larger conflict between humans, Xenomorphs and assorted hybrid creatures created by the left over black goo of the Engineers ships. Armed with traditional Yautja weapons, years of experience, and unlikely allies, Ahab proves to be worthy of his Elder title and finds there’s more to the hunt than just collecting his trophies.

NECA originally released Ahab Predator as part of their San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Exclusives. The figure proved to be an instant hit with fans. When NECA introduced their new Ultimate body types for the Predator line, fans had hoped they would revisit the Ahab figure. Earlier this year, they did just that with the reveal of the Ultimate Ahab Predator 7″ Scale Figure. We picked this figure up from sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, check out our full gallery and review.

In 1990, one of Stephen King’s most iconic stories was finally brought to life with the IT Television Mini-Series. The series starred Tim Curry as the killer clown known as Pennywise. A shape shifting alien creature from the void known as the Macroverse, Pennwyise would awaken every 27 to 30 years to feast on the fearful children of Derry, Maine. Pennywise appears as a friendly, yet all too frightening classic circus clown, who would crack darkly humorous jokes all while terrifying the children of The Losers club. When a new film adaptation of IT was released in 2017, it brought with it a renewed desire for collectibles based on the original adaptation.

An all-new classic Pennywise figure was recently released by NECA as part of their 7″ scale Ultimate line up. Packing interchangeable portraits and show accurate accessories, the figure captures Pennywise in all his creepy glory. We picked up the figure from sponsor Entertainment Earth. Check out our photo shoot and review after the jump.

The Re-Animator is one of those films that, if you saw it at just the right age, will stick with you for years. The movie is loosely based on the short story “Herbert West: Re-Animator” by H.P. Lovecraft. The film follows medical student Dan Cain and his bizarre roommate Herbert West, who claims to have found the secret to bringing the dead back to life. The Re-Animator helped to turn both Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton into horror film icons. It’s a campy and bloody film with some extremely dark humor, and truly spectacular gore effects. If you’re into 80’s horror films, and have never seen the movie, I can’t recommend it enough.

NECA brings fans a new retro Mego style figure based on Herbert West from the film. The figure is available in stores now. It includes multiple accessories from the film, including a severed Dr. Hill head and the reagent. Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth sent along the figure. After the jump, check out my thoughts on the figure and a full photo gallery.
