Hey OP, may I dump a bunch of stuff about Horror movie monster toy stuff in your thread? I wanted to start a thread but saw yours and thought it was more appropriate.

Only 8-9 days till Halloween and only one or two threads on Halloween/monster stuff. Really surprised /toy/, really surprised.

Eh, OP asked for Horror monsters and so I'll go ahead with my dump!

Starting with what >>5982460 said, McFarlane's Movie Maniacs had a wide variety of figures over only a few years. Like all McFarlane figures, they were basically statues with a mild amount of articulation, focusing more on sculpts than anything.

>Movie Maniacs McFarlane Toys 1998 - 2001

>When I started thinking about Halloween type posts, one of the first things that popped into my head was McFarlane's Movie Maniacs - Todd McFarlane that is.

>For those of you not familiar with the man, Todd McFarlane got his start at Marvel comics where he quickly became one of the most recognized artists, and eventually landed his own Spider-Man series. From there, he moved on to become one of the most successful writers/artists/creators of the widely popular (at the time) Image Comics

Another one is NECA Cult Classics which followed a similar trend to Movie Maniacs. There were plenty of horror, but it went into sci-fi and action movies as well. This evolved into more specific lines, like the Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien, and Predator lines you see today. There were also other ones like Hellraiser that ran for a bit as well.

>http://thetoybox1138.blogspot.com/2012/11/cult-classics-neca.html

>Cult classics come in many different genres - Horror, Comedy, Drama, Action, etc Be it big budget Hollywood blockbusters, or small, independent films, one can never tell what films are destined for this status quo among fans. It simply just happens.

>The problem with cult classics is that while the films may go on to spawn several sequels, they don't necessarily have the "main" cast aspect to them that would garner the possibility of a toy line. Take for example your average slasher flick. Sure there are tons of actors in the film, but most of them are just fodder for the real star - The killer.

Here's a look into a few unreleased figures, including Samara and Zombie Ed.

SOTA toys made quite a few figures in the 2000's with their Now Playing series. These came from movies that had lesser known recognition in the mainstream, but just as loved (Killer Klowns, Toxic Avenger, etc.).
>https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure?action=seriesitemlist&id=611

There were also several unreleased figures from SOTA, including a Graboid display!

Revoltech also released a few figures (hinted at before with my first post >>5982971), including a few characters like Jason, and the Fly Boy zombie. I can't find a good site that talks about their releases.

By the way, it would take a long time to dump photos and stuff so I'm being lazy by just listing the websites to learn more from.

Now to take a dive into a line I didn't know existed till a few weeks ago. Did you know Bandai released a line of chibi, eraser figures in 1987 of Universal Horror monsters? They were in a line called Horror World (and fetch a very pretty penny online apparently). There were all these figures listed (ignore the Gundam ad), and an unreleased one of the War of the Worlds alien.

I know, right? I think that might be the only Tremors merchandise I've ever seen. For a well loved movie, it kind of surprises me.

At least some good news is they are releasing American Werewolf merchandise in the future.

Going back into the chibi side of things, Funko has made some POP figures of horror movie monsters, as well as my all time favorite line: Horror Classics Mystery Minis! The first series was released in late 2013/early 2014 and had two more series afterwards (Series 3 just came out in early September). These focused on a wide range of horror figures. Series 1 was more slashers, Series 2 more classic and horror comedy, and Series 3 was a nice mix of all three.

There were a never produced non-bloody Ash figure planned for Series 1 (same figure, just no blood), and a Carrie and Norman Bates for Series 3 (hope they show up in Series 4 next year!).

Here are some POP figures. There are several not shown, and some newer ones that came out about a month ago.

I haven't even covered Mezco and Amok Time, which both companies had some cool Horror figure stuff. I think I may call it quits for the night, but hope some anons here found this informative and/or entertaining. I may pick up tomorrow, but I'm sure other people on here have stuff I missed.
>>
nobody ever seems to mention this on here, but pop culture shock toys is coming out with American Werewolf in London and The Thing Figures.

What hurts me so much is that their legs are not articulated. Why would they do that? I get it, it's not in the budget, okay, but atleast prepose the fucking legs into something more dynamic and less stiff.

I was so pumped for these but now I might not even bother.

Did they not get Hitchcock movies over there?

surprised you didn't bring up Monster In My Pocket

The Revoltech Alien figures are pretty great AFAIK.

>>5983203
I think it was a way to dodge a lawsuit and make a Hitchcock figure at the same time.

Oh yeah, I just went into specifically Horror Movie figures, but those are really cool too. I'm a big fan of monster toys.

They made a line that's still being made today (I think?) that has some horror stuff called 'Monstarz'. Similar to SOTA toys (>>5983042) they also had some figures of characters from movies like Killer Klowns and Critters.

And now I really want that Klaatu and Gort figure set, why is it $30.
>>
>>5983891
>Mezco
They are another company that made some Horror stuff as well, mostly just Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre though. They had action figures, little chibi figures, and I'm sure others that I missed. Their main line was Cinema of Fear in the late 2000's. They still make figures, but mostly of Chucky and other dolls and figures. I'm not as familiar with Mezco so I probably messed up on this info. The dioramas are pretty neat looking.

Diamond Select has a Universal Monsters line, with quite a variety to choose from. I think these were released in the late 2000's, early 2010's though again I could be wrong.

I've passed some of these up at stores before, but kind of want some of these like The Monster.

Honey, sweetie. Your father and I were talking. We're a bit concerned about you and your, uh, toy collection.

We are okay with your Transmorpher collection. Lots of people collect diffrent things. Take your Aunt Sally and her Precious Moments collection. And we're fine about your, uh, chinese girl statues. You're a growing boy at that age where you have a healthy interest in girls. That's fine.

But yesterday, I noticed your latest statue. The one where the man is chainsawing a person in half. And frankly, your father and I both agree that's not right...
>>
>>5983911
>Chinese girl statues
Nice. Yeah some these horror figures and displays can be pretty nasty to the point where I wonder why someone would even want it in their house (decapitated heads accessories, etc.). But I also must admit the craftsmanship can be superb and it's neat to see this much dedication to a market that barely gets attention until the Halloween time frame. There are Horror Conventions and such, but compare that to more mainstream stuff like Superheroes and Video games (which is a medium fortunately getting much more merchandise these past few years).

Oh darn you're right, what was I thinking. I've made that mistake plenty of times, calling Revoltech Figma and Figma Revoltech. Yeah Revoltech had a Jason, but Figma had the Fly Boy and Samara.
