New Horror from Funko! Elvira Vinyl Figure and Pint-Size Horror Heroes!

Published

on

Funko continues taking over the world.

While NECA may be the horror fan’s one-stop shop for highly detailed action figures of our favorite characters, there’s something to be said for the sheer volume of output from Funko. The company often puts a cute and cuddly spin on horror’s greatest icons, turning them into vinyl toys, keychains, ReAction Figures and even plush dolls.

What will they think of next?!

Just announced today, Funko is bringing the iconic Elvira into their Rocky Candy line this coming September. The 5″ vinyl figure of the “Mistress of the Dark” features Elvira showing off her classic black gown and posing with some attitude.

In addition, Funko’s latest wave of Pint Size Heroes is all about the horror genre. Coming in August, the line of blind-bag mini toys includes Jason Voorhees, Pinhead, Carrie White, Chucky, Stripe, Beetlejuice, Elvira, Freddy Krueger, Pennywise, Michael Myers, Cthulhu and Krampus!

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
