Check Out the Full Line of “Stranger Things” POP! Vinyl Toys
Now here’s a Halloween treat for you.
No export of the horror genre was more beloved in 2016 than Netflix’s series “Stranger Things,“ which blended all of our favorite things about the ’80s into what we consider to be the very best debut season we’ve honestly ever seen. The show absolutely dominated this past summer, and nearly all of the characters instantly became pop culture icons.
Next step? POP! vinyl toys for them all!
Earlier this summer, Funko teased that they were interested in turning characters like Eleven and Barb into POP! vinyl toys, and fans responded so well that the company officially picked up the license and just unveiled the entire line. A whopping eleven, yes ELEVEN (how fitting, huh?) toys will be released, and Entertainment Weekly debuted them today.
Barb, Dustin, Mike, and Lucas will each be getting one POP! vinyl toy apiece, while Will and the villainous Demogorgon get two each: Will will receive a standard version and an Upside Down version, and the Demogorgon has one toy with his petal face closed and the other with it open. As for Eleven, she’s getting three toys: standard, underwater, and blonde wig.
Dream come true? You damn right. Check out all the “Stranger Things” toys below!
Look for them in early 2017.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
