Own This Scissorwalker Statue From ‘Clock Tower’ Spiritual Successor ‘NightCry’
While the Clock Tower series has sadly been dormant for years, the spiritual successor to the series was released in 2016 with Nude Maker’s NightCry. Despite mixed reviews upon its initial release, there are still plans for a PlayStation Vita (though given the state of the handheld, it might not come to fruition).
Anyhoo, one of the obvious homages to Clock Tower was NightCry‘s Scissorwalker, which as you’d expect, carries around a giant pair of scissors. Gecco Corp have decided to create a 1/6 scale figure of Scissorwalker, which you can now pre-order over at Mamegyorai.
Set for release between May and June 2019, the highly-detailed figure stands 27cm tall, and stands on a base etched with arcane symbols. A severed head of one of the cultists found in the game is also included. The entire thing is made of polyurethane resin, and will set you back 36,800 yen (roughly $330 USD).
You can check out more images of the statue on the item’s page at Mamegyorai.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
