Funko Giving Pennywise His Own Cereal!
Yes, Pennywise cereal. It’s a good time to be alive.
Funko teased back in March that this Summer will see the launch of a brand new line of Funko Cereal that includes licenses that are part of the company’s POP! vinyl line. The uniquely colored cereals will include mini POP! toys inside each box, and properties such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Beetlejuice and Elvira were initially teased.
In Netflix’s brand new doc Making Fun: The Story of Funko, a handful of other upcoming cereals were teased, including blood red Pennywise cereal! It appears that Friday the 13th, Gremlins and Cthulhu cereals are also in the works, as well as Harley Quinn, Skeletor, Mumm-Ra and a handful of other properties/characters.
Funko founder Michael Becker recently previewed, “I used to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings while I was eating cereal. There are prizes in the cereal and it will sell for $7.99 a box. When you add milk to the Freddy Krueger cereal, it looks blood red. With the Beetlejuice cereal, when you add milk it looks like slime.”
Last we heard, the new cereal line, which will be marketed through collectible store outlets (like FYE) as opposed to grocery stores, is expected to hit shelves in June 2018.

NECA Opens Official Image Gallery for ‘Savini Jason’ Action Figure from ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’
NECA had announced at Toy Fair that they’re releasing brand new Jason Voorhees action figures based on Jason Takes Manhattan and Jason Goes to Hell, along with the Tom Savini-designed hellish Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th: The Game. The latter action figure has received an official image gallery from NECA today, showing it off in all its glory.
The Ultimate Savini Jason 7” Scale Action Figure will be released in Summer 2026.
NECA previews, “From Friday the 13th: The Game comes a new look for Jason Voorhees, designed by the legendary Tom Savini! This version imagines the character as if he fought Lucifer, took his infernal Trident, and climbed out of Hell to haunt Camp Crystal Lake!
“Featuring fiery skin and a demonic look, this fully articulated 7-inch scale action figure features interchangeable heads, including one with light piping for a glowing effect in the eyes. It also includes interchangeable hands, Devil’s Pitchfork, mask, and smoke effect accessory.”
Makeup effects legend Tom Savini of course designed the original Jason, seen in Friday the 13th (1980), as well as The Final Chapter‘s Jason, and “Savini Jason” was his interpretation of what might have happened to Jason after the epic finale of Jason Goes to Hell.
