‘Five Nights at Freddy’s is Getting a Line of Funko Figures
Chances are you know someone, probably a niece or a nephew, who enjoys watching late night “Let’s Plays” of the Five Nights at Freddy’s games. They can usually be found posting or sharing conspiracy theories online. Otherwise, just look in their closet. You’ll know you’ve caught one if you find a hidden shrine dedicated to Scott Cawthon, creator of the Five Nights franchise.
Now you can give that young gamer in your life something really special. Something they will cherish forever and ever — or at least until the next big indie hit comes along.
Fazbear and Co. are coming to the Funko store starting with t-shirts (blah), which are available now. I only recommend getting them a shirt if you want to wake up one night to see them standing at the foot of your bed in a bear costume. Kids don’t like clothing, unless it’s made from video games.
The good stuff — plushies, vinyl figures, mystery minis — is coming soon. That gives you time to figure out which character they most identify with before you drop any cash on that little bastard.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
