Pennywise ‘Living Dead Doll’ Floats Up from the Sewers
He’s every nightmare you’ve ever had, your worst dream come true. He’s everything you ever were afraid of. He’s Pennywise the clown, and now he’s a Living Dead Doll.
With the new adaptation headed our way in just a few months, Mezco has just unveiled the original incarnation of killer clown Pennywise for their fan-favorite Living Dead Dolls line. Measuring 10″ tall, the Pennywise Living Dead Doll is now available for pre-order, and we’ve got a full image gallery below!
Resplendent in his brightly colored satiny clown suit, Pennywise is literally the stuff of nightmares. From his oversized clown shoes to his shock of bright red hair, great care has been taken to capture not just the look but the essence of the character. One look at his fang-like teeth is enough to know this clown is no laughing matter. Pennywise comes with his trademark crimson balloon…because down here, everything floats.
The Living Dead Dolls Presents IT 1990: Pennywise stands 10 inches tall, and has 5 points of articulation. He features real cloth clothing and comes with his red balloon. He is packaged in a custom die-cut window box perfect for display.
Pennywise is expected to ship in November 2017 – January 2018.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
