This Line of Fan-Made ‘Sadako vs. Kayako’ Vinyl Toys is Pretty Great

Published

on

It started as an April Fools prank but quickly became a reality. Sadako vs. Kayako , which unites The Ring and The Grudge, is now exclusively available for streaming on Shudder.

As I explained earlier this week, the title Sadako vs. Kayako is a bit deceiving considering the fact that the two characters don’t even share the screen until the final moments of the movie, but nevertheless, it’s always cool to see two big horror franchises join forces. So check it out and form your own opinion… you may end up digging it a whole lot more than I personally did.

On a related note, I wanted to share a timely custom project that brings the characters from Sadako vs. Kayako into the world of Funko’s POP! vinyl line; the company will probably never actually make toys based on the movie, so 3D modeler Arisa Kambe recently took it upon herself to pick up their slack. She turned Sadako, Kayako, Toshio, and even the cat Mar into cute vinyl toys!

Come on, Funko. Make these a reality!

“In The Monkey, when twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years.
