[Toys] There’s A ‘Behind the Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon’ Action Figure!
As many of you long time readers know, NECA got their start in the horror action figure foray by taking on the license for Hellraiser and finally bringing Pinhead and co. to plastic form.
Basking in that memory, we’ll take this moment to give thanks to the newly formed DeConte Figures & Collectibles for taking such a risk, only I wish it had been with something a bit more demanded. Still, this is very cool, and could be the start of something quite special.
This Rhode Island based toy company has their first line of licenesed product out that will surely be a suprise to quite a few horror fans out there. Based on the charcacter from the 2006 movie Behind the Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon.
They have just released their 7” action figure of the slasher “Leslie,” played by Nathan Baesel, and limited edition reproductions of the mask & scythe props from the movie. There are also limited edition versions available, limited to 100 and signed by Director Scott Glosserman, Actor Nathan Baesel & Sculptor Neal DeConte.
“We’re trying to do things that you won’t see from other toy companies out there, I love the obscure stuff, always have and always will,” said President Neal DeConte, who started the company in 2011.
Other upcoming releases will be their 10” statue of Kane Hodder as the first of their “Cinematic Heroes” line, Spider One, lead singer from the band Powerman 5000, and the Finland based band Lordi will be the first of their music series.

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
