NECA announces 8" Freddy and Jason

[David Lee]

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.

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

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

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

Let's see what kind of stink these cause.

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...

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...

Dave

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!

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.

Interesting, wonder what others they have lined up.

[HumanWolfman]

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.
