NECA's Toony Terrors vs Scooby-Doo: Jason Voorhees Attacks

From the first moment NECA showed off their new Toony Terrors action figure line, I had only one thought in mind. The iconic killers from our favorite films were so expertly translated into cartoon characters, there was only one gang of monster fighters they could face off against.
THE SCOOBY-DOO GANG!! As luck would have it, Character Toys have just re-released their Scooby action figure line in incredibly affordable 2 packs starring the Scoobies paired with creepy bad guys I did not own yet, all for 6 dollars each. Not a deal I could pass up! With a NECA box of terrors delivered at lightning speed, all that was left was to set the stage, and the Big Kid Toy Store at the New Egypt Flea Market just happened to provide all the supernatural looking settings I needed. SO.. without further gum flapping, here's part one of our photo series in which Velma meets the man behind the mask, Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th!

Funko 5 Star Horror Figures Kiddify Freddy, Jason & More

Funko, devourer of pop culture licences the world over, is no stranger to the darker side of our fandoms. They've fought demons with Hellboy, swatted at tentacles with any number of Anime heroes and walked the darkened streets with our favorite horror icons. Now, their new 5 Star figure line dives back into cinematic horror's greatest moments, celebrating the fiends we love to see go to work!

Ya know...it's funny, but NECA just started selling toys at Target and one location in particular pulled all their horror figures after a mom complained her son wanted a Chucky figure. Has this ever happened with any of the Funko Pop horror figures, I wonder? Probably not! Stand your ground, Target! But I digress...

Mezco's Mega Scale Friday the 13th Jason Figure

He’s terrorized Camp Crystal Lake, the Big Apple and even the far reaches of space. Now Mezco lets you take the creepy camper-killer home. Introducing Mega Jason figure from the Friday The 13th horror film series. Standing an imposing 15inches, this super-sized psycho comes complete with his trademark machete and plays his icon signature sound effect that lets you know when Jason is near. 

The Mega Jason Friday The 13th figure features 9 points of articulation for dynamic camper menacing poses. Jason comes dressed in real cloth clothing modeled after his appearance in Friday The 13th Part 3. The sound is activated by a discrete button on his back.

Kidrobot Adds Horror Icons To Madballs Lineup

Last we spoke to kidrobot, the powers that be mentioned that if all went well with the roll out of their first, insanely extensive line of Madballs, they would look into a second series and some original designs no one has ever created in ball form before. YAY CREATIVE BALLS!! Today, we are happy to report they are artists of their word and are pitching a whole new line of scream inducing balls bearing the likeness of our favorite horror movie creeps!

Gross for one, gross for all, we play with our Horrorballs?! Kidrobot, Madballs and some of the scariest names in the game bring you freaky, frightening fun in the all new Madballs Horrorball foam series! These monstrous mashups combine the Madballs platform you know and love with the terrifying villains from the Aliens, Predator, Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Nightmare on Elm street franchises. Add all 6 to your collection and make it hauntingly horrorball!

Toy Fair 2017: Mezco's Horror Toys Lineup

Back into Toy Fair 2017 coverage....you know what...we're going to just stop saying that because, at one week from the massive New York show, EVERYTHING is going to be Toy Fair 2017 news!!! ...or just about. We've got loaaaaads more to show you before the big event, so we're just going to start heaving it at you as fast as I can edit and post. ARE YOU READY FOR THAT NEW TOY SMELL??!! Here comes the plastic.

Mezco held their annual toy fair preview, and though we were locked in by a minor Snowpocalypse, our buddy the Ultimate Toy Collector ran in and shot the place for us. We thought we'd kick things off with a look of all the horror items on display including new jack in the boxes, vinyl figures, puzzle cubes and Living Dead Dolls! Let's gooooo...

Toy Fair 2014: Kotobukiya on Freddy Vs Jason

The horror world seems to get more collectibles than any other genre. Specifically, Freddy Krueger of Nightmare on Elm Street and Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th enjoy extensive lines of action figures, plush, candy holders...hell there are probably female pleasure devices out there bearing the character's names. Amid all those products, no one had ever re-imagined these two icons of horror as sexy, fit, nubile women. I know right?! WHY THE HELL NOT?! Today, Kotobukiya changes all that.

Toy Fair 2012: NECA's New Jasons & More

NECA have been dream makers for some time now, and if you think that opening sentiment is silly, you are NOT a hardcore horror fan! What other company would do the leads from Lost Boys, Robocop, the first Terminator AND an entire line of Gremlins in both cute n fuzzy and mean n scary forms?! Now NECA get back to the core horror icons with a new release of a 7 inch action figure of Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th part 3! We expect him to start surfacing around June of 2012. Since Freddy Krueger got a full line of figures all to himself, we can expect Jason to get the same love. Further evidence of this comes from NECA's own twitter where they revealed a head for one of their Jason figures that looks more from Part 4 than Part 3!

NECA will have tons of new plastics to show off at the NY Toy Fair in around three weeks. Their lineup includes...

(highlighted bits are links for lots of eye candy!)

Three Hunger Games Action Figures (Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark & Gale Hawthorne) and various nicknacks

A Brief History of Friday the 13th Collectibles

In honor of our high holy day..the elusive Friday the 13th..we thought we'd share with you a bunch of images that were earmarked for an archive on a Friday the 13th documentary DVD that sadly never happened. We've got images of product from Mezco, NECA, McFarlane, Wiz Kids, Gentle Giant, Funko and Sideshow Collectibles to drool over. I believe we are missing some Mezco figures we could not locate good enough pics of, not to mention a whole universe of licensed product we have yet to unearth, so if you've got items to add, shoot us an email and help make this archive awesome!

Happy Friday the 13th! Be sure to watch some awesome horror movies tonight!!

Freddy and Jason Get Squishier

FUNKO, makers of fantastical bobble heads and vinyl figures in every shape and size your pop culture loving brain can conjure up have done it AGAIN!! I've expounded countless times on my love for their Plushie doll format which brings a simplistic style to the licenses you've come to love over your lifetime. The end result is so perfect and satisfying, you want to collect a whole shelf full of them. Funko have done their best to allow you this option, filling their lines with toys from DC Comics, Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz and more. Now, TERROR COMES TO PLUSHIE TOWN!!! (I've copyrighted that phrase. No stealing.) The obvious move is to bring on the bad guys, so Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger and Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees are on the way. The doll line is made in a 7 inch tall format, just FYI, and are available EVERYWHERE online as well as your local comic shops and some retailers.
