OMFG, OMFG!

Quickly turning their back on the 2010 remake, NECA has unveiled three brand new Freddy Krueger action figures based on the film’s initial trilogy! These badass A Nightmare on Elm Street toys bring us new Freddy’s from the title film, Freddy’s Revenge (sorry, no dead parakeet), and Dream Warriors. Each comes with an interchangeable head. But in all seriousness, who wouldn’t want the actual “Dream Warriors” in toy form? “Yo, Freddy! Where you hiding at, you burnt-faced pussy?” – Roland Kincaid

In addition, inside we threw up a quick look at NECA’s “The Walking Dead” busts. Eh, I’ll watch for McFarlane’s toy line based on Robert Kirkman’s comic.

While it appears NECA is continuing to shy away from horror lines based on specific franchises, they do have some really cool stuff in the pipeline.

Next to the new Freddy Krueger’s (images in next story), my favorite upcoming line is from Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Joe Dante’s 1990 sequel featuring all sorts of interesting and new characters from “Rambo Gizmo” to the “Brain Gremlin”, “Mohawk/Stripe”, “Spider Gremlin” and more!

NECA also unveiled some absolutely incredible figures based on both James Cameron’s 1984 The Terminator and the 1991 Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The highlight of the batch are the original “Terminator” toys as portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Freakin’ AWESOME.

Lastly, inside you’ll find images of even more Predator figures from this past summer’s Predators, along with the toy based on the alien hunter from Predator 2. I’m not exactly sure who keeps buying all these. Who has a wall full of like 3o Predator toys? The 40-year-old virgin maybe?

Updated: Fun World – the creators of the Ghost Face mask – made their own version of the killer that’ll be included in the line. A blog website by the name of Idle Hands has posted an interesting story that could pertain to some serious plot points in Wes Craven’s Scream 4. According to the blog, NECA is back in the horror action figure business and have plans to release two new Scream action figures in time for the films release on April 15. This won’t be the first Scream figure from NECA, as the previous came as part of “Movie Maniacs”, but what makes one of the two new figs interesting is that it’s described as a “zombie” Ghostface. Does this mean there’s a major, major twist in the works, or is McFarlane bending his thinking brow like he did when he released his vision of the Witch from The Blair Witch Project? More soon, I hope.
