Another Halloween treat from our friends at NECA today, as the company has announced that their previously released NES-style Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees figures are coming back from the dead. The highly unique figures, both released years back as hard-to-find exclusives, have been upgraded for GameStop exclusives available next year.
Freddy details…
“Back by popular demand and upgraded! The Classic Video Game Freddy Krueger is inspired by the “so bad it’s good” Nightmare on Elm Street video game that was released in 1989 for the super popular 8-bit home console. This garishly colored Freddy is a cult classic if ever there was one and now features the new Ultimate body, with over 30 points of articulation. The 7″ scale figure comes in display-worthy window box packaging with opening flap that re-creates the look and feel of the classic 1989 video game box.”
Jason details…
“To celebrate the 13th figure in our classic video game tribute series, we’re bringing back the one that started it all! Previously available only as a convention exclusive, Jason is back and better than ever, with different deco, a new accessory and special packaging that plays theme music from the original video game. Based on his appearance in the classic Friday the 13th video game, released in 1989 for the popular 8-bit home console, Jason stands 7” and has over 25 points of articulation for great poses. The figure comes with machete, axe, harpoon gun and removable mask, plus new “floating” mother’s head accessory. New paint deco reproduces the game’s pixilated look. And not only does the window box packaging re-create the look and feel of the classic video game cartridge box, lift the front flap and it plays music from the game, too!”
According to the GameStop website, you can expect them on 3/1/19.
