[Toy Fair ’12] Random Reveals: ‘Walking Dead,’ Kyle Reese, ‘Child’s Play’
It was teased by NECA yesterday at the New York Toy Fair that they’ve been working on a “Kyle Reese” (played by Michael Biehn) action figure based on the 1984 The Terminator. Late last night they tweeted a photo from their studio where you’ll see bits and pieces of the father of John Connor. Check it out below.
In addition, McFarlane Toys announced they’ve landed licensing rights to the second season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead”. Based on the hit TV show, expect figures featuring Shane Walsh, Rick Grimes and news zombies including Bicycle Girl, Well Zombie and RV Zombie.
Mezco has unveiled a new Universal Monsters line that includes the following “Mega Deluxe” Frankenstein, with smaller versions of The Mummy, Frankenstein, and Creature.
Lastly, Mezco’s Living Dead Dolls line will now include Billy from Saw and Chucky from Child’s PLay. Check out images of everything after the break. 
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
