    NECA announces 8" Freddy and Jason

    Randy Falk of NECA recently tweeted something that will likely make Mego and Horror fans happy: Horror & retro fans alike. Finally “Mego style” versions of Freddy & Jason are coming this Halloween. 8″ poseable w accessories. When asked what Mego style was, he tweeted this: 70s style figural doll w fabric clothing very retro kitsch “@allie_qat26: @NECA_TOYS what is “Mego style” ?” Never thought of ourselves as Kitsch before (seriously) but it’s nice to see them getting back on the horse after the Django silliness.

        That's a WIN! I knew Django wasn't a "one and done".... This is great, the more in the 8 inch arena the better I say...

          But... I just got a Mego-scaled Jason Vorhees head I'm about to paint!

          OH, NECA, always beating me to the punch! I'm so gonna snag these when they come out.
          "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

            I have been thinking they had a stockpile of bodies (since the Django stupidity), and would eventually find another outlet for them.
            Good for them!
            Good for the Mego market!
            Great for us!

                Yes, that was my first thought as well. Haven't we already had Freddy Kreuger toys famously banned because of "think of the children" advocates?

                Maybe NECA is putting their 1:9 advertising budget into protesters...

                  These are going to come in some nice displayable boxed packaging.

                    Ironically, these probably won't cause a stink at all. Because a hideously burned and resurrected murdering pedophile is much better than a freed and empowered slave.

                    But seriously, this type of stuff has been hanging on the shelves at TRU for some time, so it probably WON'T raise an eyebrow.

                      Very cool. Hopefully Michael Myers is up to bat afterwards... IF... they can get his head right.

                        So true... so true... it is a win for us as a community though, more people in the 1/9th scale the better...

                            Aren't EMCE's Universal Monsters figures (Phantom of the Opera and Metaluna Mutant) coming out in time for Halloween as well? If so, plus Jason and Freddy, Halloween is gonna ROCK.

                              Not really interested in these figures, but hope the door is open to 1/9 figures from Alien and Predator series, Lone Ranger, Rambo, Chuck Norris, A-team, Rocky
