Figure/Collectibles News

[The Dream Master]

This will be the official thread to discuss all things related to new and upcoming products from Sideshow, NECA, Mezco, etc.

That said, what is the latest with NECA's cult classic line? When's the new series expected to hit?

[Jigsaw]

http://www.necaonline.com has some new information I think.

[CampNewBlood]

Wow......some cool new figures. Can't wait to get Hare Krishna Zombie from 'Dawn of the Dead'. I have already Plaid Zombie and FlyBoy Zombie.

That Castlevania 3" figure looks cool. Convention only exclusive....mf'ers. Shouldn't make anything unless you can make enough for everyone.

[rpchurch]

Anyone who was in this thread on the other site, I wanted to give you an update. The mask straps on my F13: Final Chapter Jason snapped. At first, I thought they were going to give me a hard time about it, but they're sending me a replacement mask!! :D Pretty jazzed about that. So, I wanted to throw it out there, that I'm pretty happy with their customer service.

The plus side is, I get to keep the broken mask, too. So, I'm setting it up like the end of Final Chapter, where Trish knocks his mask off right before he gets it in the head! I'm a geek, so what.

[rpchurch]

How f'n cool is Ash? Did any of you guys ready that Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness?

[Lammert]

I looked at my Part 3 figure today, together with Part 2 the only ones I took out of the box.
The strap thats on the mask seems to have grown or something, it's not tight anymore.. so now the mask can't fit on it like its supposed to, and hangs on his head.. :(

[FinalBeyond]

Their Solid Snake is just amazing. I want it, but the price tag is unbelievable.

[Just Jeans]

The price tag on the up-coming WETA Doctor Who line is bound to be through the roof. WETA puts out good figures, though, so I think I'll have to come up with some cash, stat.

[Fridayweb]

I've got this $50 gift card to Sideshow, but I don't give a crap about anything they've got in stock. Anyone who wants the Chucky doll for the cost of shipping is welcome to it:

Check out the pictures there for Mezco's upcoming Cinema Of Fear series. Personally, I can't wait to get all of them, especially the Jason figures from The Final Chapter and Jason Lives. Finally!

[The Dream Master]

Wow, the Dream Warriors Freddy face just looks...off. I hope the final product ends up looking better, but usually, the opposite is true. Everything else looks great, though.

[Jigsaw]

I agree that the DW Freddy needs some work, but being that it's just a prototype anything can change for the final product. I have to say I'm very impressed with Mezco's COF figures and they're proving me wrong now. I'd be interested in their take on Saw figures, I could easily see them adding to bathroom set to their Screen Grabs series.

[jasonisking]

i cant wait to start gettig my hands on the mezco stuff.it looks like cof line is only the newline licence so far and as an avid jason collector that is great .so my mid 2008 we will have jasons from part 1,2,4,6,7,jx,fvsj.all we will need is a part 3,8,5,9,and jx non uber figure.and a 5 wont be hard to customize with a part 4 head and a neca micheals body .ill,use the extra micheal i got from the evil 2pak .man will november ever get here.

Me too! The Final Chapter and Jason Lives......they look so cool! :D

[Jigsaw]

TFC and JL Jason figures are instant must-buys for me and I'll be getting the others as well. I've been wanting TFC and JL Jason figures for years and I have to say for the most part these were both well worth the wait.

[jasonisking]

if anyone here collects now playing figures make sure you preorder series 4 as for what is being said behind sota doors if they dont get enough preorders series 4 wont see the light of day and insiders have said that no matter how 4 does there will be no series 5.witch i think stinks because i really wanted a herbert west figure as well as a large scale creeper and the tremors box set and thats officially dead but with the licence comming open maybe neca can grab it but with them even scaling back on the horror stuff who knows.you know of all the fan bases go us horror fans get treated the worst hell we cant even get our own channel on tv.

[Jigsaw]

Has anyone gotten any of Mezco's Cinema Of Fear figures from the first series which came out this month? I won't be getting any of them until Christmas but I'm curious as to what they're like from those who own them.

[The Dream Master]

Jig, I haven't seen those yet, but thanks for the heads up. I didn't know they were supposed to come out this month, so I'll be looking out for those.

Anyone picked up the latest Cult Classics wave? I've only seen Leatherface.

[Germaniac]

I looked at my Part 3 figure today, together with Part 2 the only ones I took out of the box.
The strap thats on the mask seems to have grown or something, it's not tight anymore.. so now the mask can't fit on it like its supposed to, and hangs on his head.. :(

Yup, I noticed the same problem with my Part 3 figure recently!

Has sideshow anounced any new Friday-stuff? It has been months since they released the TFC figure and they haven´t released anything new yet. They popped out new figures every few monthsthe last years ... are there no plans for more F13 toys? I´d love to see a young-Jason, Roy, JTM and Uber-Jason sideshow-figure before the remake gets released!

[JVY2K]

Finally a decent Jason from part's 4 & 6. These are going to go great next to my Neca Pamela and Jason's 2,7 & FvsJ. I refused to buy the Sideshow figures as they simply sucked. Very sloppily made and not at all accurate to Jason's apearance. Especially the JGTH one. I buy only quality Jason products :)...

I still wish Neca would make more as they are the best, but these will do.

[Jigsaw]

I'll be getting the first series of COF and some Cult Classics figures for Christmas (damn financial problems). I'm most excited for the JL Jason that's coming out next year, about time we got a JL Jason figure.

[The Dream Master]

Have you guys seen this (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=GE10701#LargeImage)? It's pretty neat.

[Jigsaw]

That's pretty cool although I much prefer a more realistic-looking Jason.

For those who own the COF TFC Jason, is the mask removable? I ask because the figure comes with an alternate head, but there's no mention if the mask is removable. It'd be so stupid if his mask wasn't removable.

[The Dream Master]

Just a heads up: BigBadToyStore.com has Cult Classics series six available for pre-order. They also have the latest two Jigsaw HOF figures in stock to purchase now.

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the heads up.

[The Dream Master]

I just received my two Jigsaw fiures from Big Bad Toy Store (talk about really fast shipping), and I love them. I'm especially digging the normal "John" head figure--the likeness is dead on. They'll lok great alongside my two other Jigsaw figures. I wonder if NECA will ever do an 18" Jigsaw figure?

[Jigsaw]

An 18" Jigsaw is probably only a matter of time.

[The Dream Master]

If they come out with one, it'd better have interchangable heads. It's ridiculous that I've paid full price for four figures basically because they have different heads. :lol:

[Jigsaw]

New accessories would be good too. It's getting tiring to get only Billy as an accessory.

[The Dream Master]

What I'd really like to see, however, are some sort of dioramas depicting some of the traps in the films. I'd especially like one that has Amanda's trap from the first film and one of the room with Lawrence and Adam. That'd be awesome.

[Jigsaw]

I agree. Also a base of Amanda in the Syringe Pit, Obi in the Furnace, Timothy in The Rack, John's brain surgery and autopsy, etc. those would all be awesome to see in action figure form.

[Dogmatic Insanity]

COF is out. I picked up the Jason over the weekend, and it's pretty cool. The mask does seem removable, but it kinda feels glued on. I didn't want to take any chances with it.

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the information. From the pictures I've seen of the COF Jason, his mask looks like it might be attached to his face, although I can understand your fear of not wanting to damage the figure by removing it. I guess I'll find out myself though when I get the figure for Christmas. I don't see why it wouldn't be removable though.

[Dogmatic Insanity]

Here he is with the gang

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v680/VoorheesX2/DSCN2000.jpg

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the picture. He looks cool, although I don't like how a blood splatter was added to his shirt for the final product. IMO he looks better with a non-bloody shirt :meh:

[The Dream Master]

From that picture, it looks like the COF series isn't in scale with NECA's figures, which is a bit disappointing. I'm still picking them up though.

Awesome picture of "the gang," by the way.

[Patrick]

They have a new calendar out now that has the recalled one-sheet from JTM for the cover.

[The Dream Master]

Anyone been keeping up with SSC's Spooktacular? They've announced 12" figures for Shaun and Ed from "Shaun of the Dead," among other things. Apparently, they're going to announce some more stuff later today, too.

[Patrick]

I didn't know Mezco has a Friday the 13th Part 1 end scene figure set with Jason jumping up out of the water and grabbing Alice in the canoe.

[The Dream Master]

SS, is that actually out yet? I know their regular figures have been found, but I don't know if the dioramas are available yet.

Added: This (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=7325) is bad-ass.

[Patrick]

I saw just one on eBay...and the pic the person had was blurry as fuck.

[Jigsaw]

Today I got the two Cult Classics Jigsaws. I'll be taking them out of the packages later. They're pretty cool, but the accessories need to be mixed up a little now, it's getting tiring to get only Billy.

[The Dream Master]

I've found all of the new Cinema of Fear stuff. I only bought Freddy, Jason, and the screen scenes for F13 and NOES 3. At $20 a pop, I didn't think Chop Top and Leatherface were worth it at the time, but I might pick them up eventually.

[kramerfan]

How good do the NOES ones look?The bed and bathtub scenes?

[Patrick]

WHOA...check out this Creature from the Black Lagoon premium diorama format figure coming from Sideshow! I love these Universal Monsters!

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l174/P-Trick06/CreatureBlackLagoon.jpg

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l174/P-Trick06/CreatureBlackLagoon2.jpg

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l174/P-Trick06/CreatureBlackLagoon3.jpg

[The Dream Master]

Man, I'd love to have that. I don't have any of Sideshow's classic monsters, unfortunately.

[Patrick]

I know. I pre-ordered one since it's not coming out until 2nd Quarter of 2008....(April, May, June)....I'm hoping I have the extra cash for it by then. i will try my damndest (sp?) to get it because I missed out on the 12" ones.

[The Dream Master]

One of my local comic stores had a few of the 12" figures, but I never bought them, unfortunately. I'd love to have a Frankenstein's monster to complement all my Jason and Freddy stuff.

[Patrick]

Yea, the 12" Creature from the Black Lagoon figures go for well over $100 on eBay. The Silver Screen versions which are in black and white go for more. I have been wanting one of those for years. But now this one is coming out and I want this one BAD.

I have alot of the 12" Universal Monster figures and they are awesome looking.

[Chucky's back]

Jason Lives, Freddy and Nancy bathtub scene and Part 2 Leatherface coming from Mezco: http://www.mezcotoyz.com/products/cof_002.asp I also saw a part 6 underwater scene with Jason and Tommy in the previews catalogue at my local comic book store, but couldn't find that particular item on the Mezco site.

[Jigsaw]

I can't wait for COF Series 2, especially Jason. About time we got a Jason Lives action figure.

[nottidelterrore]

Jason Lives, Freddy and Nancy bathtub scene and Part 2 Leatherface coming from Mezco: http://www.mezcotoyz.com/products/cof_002.asp I also saw a part 6 underwater scene with Jason and Tommy in the previews catalogue at my local comic book store, but couldn't find that particular item on the Mezco site.

Those are pretty nifty!

[The Dream Master]

There's also going to be a Freddy from the first Elm Street coming too (with solid red sleeves and everything).

[Chucky's back]

I found some info and pics of the dioramas, the Jason Lives underwater fight, ANOES bed with Freddy coming out of the wall and one from TCM remake: http://www.mezcotoyz.com/products/cof_sgrab_002.asp

[Jigsaw]

http://www.amazingtoyz.com/images/cofAF2jason_pp_copy.jpg


I so can't wait to finally get that.

[Patrick]

Whoa...that looks pretty cool. Would love to have that.

[Jigsaw]

The only detail that appears inaccurate is the combat waistbelt, but seeing as that figure is just a prototype, that could change in the finished product.

[Patrick]

We need some ANB figures also.

[Jigsaw]

Figures of Roy and Dream Jason in ANB would be great to have eventually.

[jasonisking]

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INSIDER INFO CC6 WILL BE SHOWCASING ATLEAST 1 DAY OF THE DEAD FIGURE IF NOT 2 ALSO CREEPSHOW NOT SURE WHAT FIGURES YET BUT WITH THEM GETTIN THE LICENCE FOR DAY AND CREEPSHOW FROM THE SAME GUY AND THEM ANOUNCING THAT CC6 WILL BE CHARACTORS FROM OLDER MOVIES THIS IS A NO BRAINER .I,LL PUT MONEY ON BUB DR TOUNGE,FLUFFY AND FATHERS DAY ZOMBIE.ANY TAKERS

Sounds cool.

I picked up the 'Screen Grabs' of Friday the 13th Part 1 the other day at Spencer's.

[Jigsaw]

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INSIDER INFO CC6 WILL BE SHOWCASING ATLEAST 1 DAY OF THE DEAD FIGURE IF NOT 2 ALSO CREEPSHOW NOT SURE WHAT FIGURES YET BUT WITH THEM GETTIN THE LICENCE FOR DAY AND CREEPSHOW FROM THE SAME GUY AND THEM ANOUNCING THAT CC6 WILL BE CHARACTORS FROM OLDER MOVIES THIS IS A NO BRAINER .I,LL PUT MONEY ON BUB DR TOUNGE,FLUFFY AND FATHERS DAY ZOMBIE.ANY TAKERS


Where'd you get this information? Do you have a link to verify?

[jasonisking]

i gave randy the guy who owns the rights number because they couldnt track down the licence.and i got the info from jerry the former owner of sota toys.neca has never went outside the studio system for there deals.were jerry is in the now out in holly weird.i just passed info between the two.now i have no idea what figs neca will do. but just wait for toyfair and you will see.or if you wanna confirm call taurus and ask for jim dudleson he probley wont say to much it would kill necas surprise at toyfare.but the number is 323-785-2500.and please no one go posten this info on other boards.lets keep the info line open and im sure more will come.

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the information. I'm surprised to hear that Creepshow figures are underway, seeing as Stephen King character action figures are difficult to license, or at least have been in the past.

[kramerfan]

That Jason Lives with the spear must be new.Ill get that.Anyone know when the f13th pt.1 alice n boat diorama is coming out?

[The Dream Master]

That Jason Lives with the spear must be new.Ill get that.Anyone know when the f13th pt.1 alice n boat diorama is coming out?

Yeah, the Jason Lives figure is new (at least I don't think it's been released yet).

And the Alice diorama is out, and has been before Christmas.

[Jigsaw]

The JL figure doesn't come out until April.

[kramerfan]

Wonder when the jason vs tommy fight scene comes out?Also the freddy/nancy bathtub ad bed/wall scenes?There was also a mexco jason pt.4 figure.

[Jigsaw]

Cinema Of Fear Series 2 (which has the JL Jason as well as the TCM2 Leatherface and NOES1 Freddy as well as the Tommy and Jason diorama) doesn't come out until April.

[jasonisking]

and without further ado http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/at002069-3.jpg he will be comming with a taperecorder and headset a bucket of rewards a gun and a razor he is articulated at the hands feet shoulders head and chest so you can hunch him over.enjoy. later

[Jigsaw]

Cool, thanks for the update. Looks very cool, although the face sculpt could be a wee bit bitter.

[The Dream Master]

The Bub figure looks wicked awesome. I'll be picking that one up.

[Jigsaw]

I'll be getting Bub as well. I hope to eventually see figures of Amanda from Saw, as well as an improved Tall Man and a deluxe set with Mike and Reggie from Phantasm II.

[jasonisking]

im gonna try to get a dr tounge pic before toyfare.but the creepshow figs are being guarded like fort knox.but ill keep diggin guys.as for amanda its a no go on her for now.we pretty much got her with the redrobed fig in the hof series.thats what randy feel is the closest they will get to amanda.also goodguy charactors just arent gonna be made guys like reggie just wont sell.we got dr loomis because randy felt he was just as iconic as micheal was.thats why we will never see a jamie lee figure.thats why mezco made nancy a scene rather than just a figure.this is just a matter of money they wont make any.

[Jigsaw]

Cool, thanks for the updates.

[kramerfan]

Anyone know when the mezco jason pt.4 is coming out?

[Jigsaw]

It's already out, it was released back in October. The JL Jason figure comes out sometime in April.

[kramerfan]

Hi thank u jigsaw.

[Jigsaw]

Sure :) I can't wait for the figure and it's my most anticipated figure thus far this year.

[jasonisking]

hey jiggy here is breaking news out of mezco land .the line up for cinema of fear 3 is freddy chef outfit p5, hitchhiker tcm1, remake leatherface, and jason goes to hell figure .there is also a 12in jason in the works well i,ll have pics up tommorrow.later guys.ps cult classics is being reduced to 3 figs but there will be hof and more cc presents figures.also day of the dead figs will be sold under the monstarz label not cult classics as it was a joint venture between neca and amok times because of the cost of the licence.later guys

[The Dream Master]

Guys, you can click here (http://tf08.figures.com/showgallery.php?cat=501) to see what Mezco has in the pipeline. Turns out they're doing a 12" Jason from The New Blood. This might explain why Sideshow has been so quiet lately, as I doubt both Mezco and Sideshow will be doing 12" figures.

[jasonisking]

just an update on cult classics.series 7 will include beetleguise ,reagen in spider walk,and machete from grindhouse,also under cc presents sam from trick or treat and mike from grindhouse,also comin is reagen in her bed with powered spinnin head and soundchip we will also see skecsies from dark crystal .more comming monday.pics of cof 3 commin also

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the updates, JasonIsKing. Are there any words of more Saw figures to be made, particularly Amanda?

[The Dream Master]

Jig, as far as I know, NECA hasn't announced anything Saw-related at Toy Fair so far. It's still going on for a couple of more days, though, so anything can happen.

[Jigsaw]

I'll be listening for any news. I'm thinking if an Amanda figure isn't announced, a petition might help. Most petitions don't work, but occasionally there's those that do. With Saw still being a bankable series and Amanda having gained her share of popularity alongside Jigsaw, I think enough petition signatures might convince NECA to get on it.

[jasonisking]

randy has stated there are no plans on any saw figures this year.but im sure if saw 5 does well they will try and slip one in to capitilize on it.the one im waiting for is cof 3 i cant wait to see the jason goes to hell figure.

[Jigsaw]

Was anything announced regarding COF Series 4?

[jasonisking]

this is the only pic commin so far from cof 3 its remake leatherface but the fig next to him is freddy chef also this is the new 12 inch part7 jason.im tryin to land a pic of the jason goes to hell fig.also notice that there is no wrist articulation and more realistic sculpting.http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/DSC_03601.jpg http://[IMG]http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/untitled.jpg

[Jigsaw]

Mezco's TNB Jason looks more realistic and accurate than NECA's version (I never understood why NECA's version had green clothes and brown work gloves when in the film he didn't have either).

Where' the picture of the JGTH Jason?

[jasonisking]

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/cof3.jpg

[Jigsaw]

Whoops, I meant Remake Leatherface. Thanks for the picture, he looks great. I have yet to own any of the Remake Leatherface figures and will definitely add that to my collection.

[jasonisking]

now pics of cult classics 7 beetleguiese,reagen,machete from grindhouse.also sam from trick or treat and stuntman mike will come in cc presents.http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/IMG_2369.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/IMG_2362.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/IMG_2356.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/IMG_2374.jpg reagen is also comming in a box set with moterized spinning head and soundchip.and the exorsist was an ungettable licence.like i said money can get any licence the company just has to want it.

[Jigsaw]

Those all look great. And I remember years ago when McFarlane was going to make a deluxe set of Regan from The Exorcist in her bed, but I think there were issues with the studio that made them unable to do it.

[kramerfan]

Man that Pt.7 Jason is awesome!!!Cant wait to see the JGTH but not sure ill buy it.

[Jigsaw]

http://www.petitiononline.com/amanda70/petition.html


A petition I created earlier for NECA to make figures of Amanda from the Saw films. The chances of it being successful are slim, but it's worth a try. Given how popular and bankable Saw is, now is as good a time as any to try.

[jasonisking]

i signed it.how about making one of those for a howling werewolf.that movie has got no love from anyone.the howling is a true cult classic.figures i want the most . the howling werewolf
ben from house
tarman from rold
damian from the omen
the prowler
harry warden my bloody valentine
prom night killer
vincent motel hell
cropsy the burning
crowley hatchet
the cryptkeeper
santa silent night deadly night
pluto remake of hills have eyes
fluffy creepshow
fathersday creepshow
cochran halloween 3
and for sota to get off there asses and give us the figures they have shown us like,reanamator,winged creeper,tremmors,and more clowns.also i didnt say any king stuff cause that just wont happen.

[Jigsaw]

I second the Crypt Keeper. He deserves to have an accurate figure of him done at some point. Other figures I want in addition to Amanda and the Crypt Keeper:


-An improved Tall Man (Phantasm II)
-Mike and Reggie (Phantasm II)
-Eric Matthews (Saw II and III)
-MartinFly (The Fly II)
-Tarman (ROTLD)

[jasonisking]

martinfly is a good one.also randy has stated he would like to revisit tallman in the hall of fame series.wehave to face it we will never get good guys the companys dont think they will sell except to the hard core fans .they also have said they dont want to do the obscure movies but except for kings stuff what really is left to do.

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the news.

I'm thinking if Mike and Reggie were ever to be made into figures, they'd have to be in a deluxe set with The Tall Man to make it more appealing to the public and collectors alike, since the main villain of the series is needed to make it appealing. In the Halloween set, Dr. Loomis was included with Michael and in the F13 25th Anniversary set, Mrs. Voorhees was included with the Sackhead Jason, and undoubtedly the villains made the set all the more appealing and enticing to consumers. I'm thinking a deluxe set from Phantasm II with Mike and Reggie with their weapons and gear, and a new Tall Man figure (perhaps in a state of melting) could be included with a deluxe embalming room/spacegate room base along with a dwarf figure for a bonus.

I'd also think if Eric Matthews or another Saw character were to be made into a figure, it'd be a boxed set with Jigsaw. I could see Eric being included in a deluxe set with Jigsaw from Saw II in his wheelchair, or Amanda from Saw III with Jigsaw on his deathbed, etc.

[jasonisking]

i agree with you 100% i would love a boxset like that.but you have to look at it from there point of view a 15 year old kid walks into hot topics and sees that boxset he might know the tallman but reggie i doubt it.right now the way the horror toys are selling companys are sticking with sure bets.and you know who is really killing the hobby?us the collecters.you know how many times i have read on message boards oh that likeness is off im not getting that or bad paint apps.hell i have heard for years people whinning about day of the dead figures.and then when we get bub. his eyes are off or something stupid like that.these figures are lucky to be 7inches tall you cant even see his eyes if your a foot away.if you want the obscure stuff support the lines.if we buy them they will make more.and if buying another killer clown gets me closer to my coveted harry warden figure so be it.dont want the hobby to die buy buy buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jigsaw]

I agree on that. Even if the sculpt has some flaws, I'm still happy to get the figure. I wasn't 100% pleased with The Tall Man figure NECA did, but I'm happy to own it and finally have it after so many years of wanting it and waiting for it to get produced. The combat waistbelt inaccuracy on Mezco's upcoming Jason Lives Jason is a bit annoying, but I can live with it and am still highly anticipating the figure, for I've wanted a JL Jason figure for the longest time and will gladly accept what we're getting.

As for a modern day kid knowing of Phantasm's Reggie, you never know, but seeing such a detailed and expansive set with The Tall Man, Mike and Reggie could spark interest from the kid in the films and from there, a new fan is created. It happens a lot.

[The Dream Master]

Now this (https://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=1816) is a nice item from coming from Sideshow.

https://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/large/1816.jpg

Nice. The Darkman and Jurassic Park T-Rex/Raptor models look great, too.

[kramerfan]

I cant wait to see what the JGTH mezco will look like.That Wolfman vs Frankenstein is cool.

As much as I hate Jason's look in JGTH, I too look forward to how Mezco will pull it off. I'm most looking forward to the Thomas Hewitt Leatherface in COF Series 3 personally.

I wouldn't mind if Mezco acquired the rights to other Horror licenses like Saw and Phantasm, and even Halloween. Mezco really expands and capitalizes on their licenses and gives the fans figures they've been requesting and wanting for years, and they've given us a series of Freddy, Jason and Leatherface in all of their alternative appearances.

[jasonisking]

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/reanimatortoy.jpgmezco does want to branch out into other movies.but for now they have to put out a great deal of stuff for newline you see thats why neca had to give it up they just could,nt put out the amount of stuff newline wanted .so we should start seeing other licences popping up in cof 6 or 7.i also did some digging and it seems that someone has snatched the rights to the howling .dont know who but with the improvement out of mezco and what amok times is doing i hope its one of them.also look for gentle giant with the preorders there getting for there 30 days of night set they will be snagging up a few more licences.

[Jigsaw]

NECA seems to have gotten a little lazy with some of their licenses. Sort of like what happened to McFarlane, who were great at first but have sadly gone downhill badly in recent years.

[jasonisking]

i would,nt say lazy as much as trying to recoup the money they spent on grindhouse.man are they taking a bath on that one.the grindhouse figures failed big time so there putting mike and machete in cult classics to try and pull even.but sam from trick or treat is gonna do very well when that movie hits.also what do you think about the reanamator tweaked sculpt.combs has finnally signed off on it.so if all goes well we should be seeing him around halloween.

[Jigsaw]

I think they should give Grindhouse it's own line and save Cult Classics for individual characters instead. McFarlane made the same mistake when they got the Alien and Predator license, having Movie Maniacs Series 6 consist entirely of Alien and Predator figures instead of having it be it's own seperate line-up.

[jasonisking]

thats how it started with cherrie darling tarintino and the other broad.and they collected dust on shelves.hell i got mine out of the bargain bin for 3 for 10$ .so neca thinks it can get the sales up by putting them in cult classics.i doubt it will work and as for beetleguise well he has been a very damanded fig from the toy collectors.ill buy him and give him to my son he likes the movie i only collect horror .i grew out of batman when i hit puberty .horror figs just are not kiddie to me .i just cant see adults buying walmart superhero toys .oh well to each is own

[Jigsaw]

I'll definitely get Beetleguise.

[Skott]

Anyone know if Mezco's Jason from Jason Goes to Hell was even on display at Toy Fair? I find it hard to believe there isn't a single picture floating around of it if it was on display. My only problem with Mezco's figures so far is how 'cheap' they look but they do seem to be getting a fair bit better. Hopefully we can finally get a half-decent non squished head Jason figure from JGTH!

[kramerfan]

Id like to see a pic of the JGTH mezco figure also.I wonder if well get lots more jasons from them?

[Jigsaw]

Mezco will probably continue cranking out many more Jason figures. Given how drastically Jason's appearance changes throughout the series, we're bound to get numerous editions of him from them.

[kramerfan]

They can do pt.5 and pt.8 jason + many more of 2,3,4 and probably many more.

[The Dream Master]

I still want 12" figures of Roy and Jason from JTM. I have no clue what's going on with Sideshow's license with those now, so it might be up to Mezco to make them.

[Jigsaw]

I want figures of Roy and JTM Jason as well, along with an exhumed JL Jason and a Part 3 Jason. A more accuracte TNB Jason would be good, too.

[jasonisking]

hi guys.whats new ? well are you ready for your jason goes to hell sneak peak.he looks great judge for yourself.jiggy this ones for you bro.look over jason lives shoulder.http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/toyfair183.jpg

[The Dream Master]

Nice. I'll be picking up both of those.

[ChoKo]

That JL figure has Dan Bradley's gut. :lmao:

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the picture, Jasonisking. The JL Jason looks great and the JGTH one is pretty cool-looking, too.

ChoKo, maybe the lighting in the picture gives the figure the beer gut, or it's the angle. The other pictures of it I've seen look like it has a fairly normal-sized gut.

[ChoKo]

Oh, I don't mind it anyway. I was just pointing it out. I'll probably pick up the figure regardless.

[Jigsaw]

Actually, looking at some other pictures and closely examining the chest and abdominal area, he does look like he has a slightly big gut. I think it's more just the broadness of his chest and abdomen rather than a beer gut, though. Pretty much every other Jason figure is like that minus the NECA Part 2 Jason. The JL Jason is an immediate must-buy for me, and I'll pick up the JGTH one as well even though I hate his look in that film. The next COF Jasons should definitely be from JTM and Part 3.

[jasonisking]

i,m glad you like it.mezco hired new sculpters to take over the line.and rumor has it that series 4 will be super freddy, jason takes manhatten,leatherface from part 3,also we may get 2 jasons in series 4.again its just rumor but its comming from inside mezco.also this is fact series 4 will be seen at comic con.hey are any of you guys going this year.it would be cool to see some of you guys there.

[Jigsaw]

I wish I could go but I won't be able to :(

COF Series 4 sounds pretty good, except Freddy IMO should be from Freddy's Revenge with alternate razor-gloved and finger hands, alternate normal, Jesse and "brain" heads, removable hat and the baby-faced Demon Dogs. Series 3 already has Freddy from The Dream Child, and it'd be good to do another version of him from a different film instead for Series 4. I also think Roy Burns from ANB is long in need of a good figure.

[The Dream Master]

Man, I'd dig a Super Freddy figure. I won't be at Comic-Con, but I'll be watching it like a hawk online.

[Jigsaw]

I'd like a Super Freddy figure, too, but I'd rather get Nightmare 2 and 3 Freddy first, then Super Freddy. After that, a New Nightmare Freddy would be good.

[The Dream Master]

Yeah, a Nightmare 2 Freddy would be nice. If we got that, I wouldn't really die if we never got a Dream Warriors version because they'd be similar enough, I think. Besides, we've got Freddy in the tux, which is from Dream Warriors.

I've already got both of NECA's New Nightmare figures, so I'm good when it comes to that film. Of course, I'll buy anything Mezco puts out anyway.

[Jigsaw]

I'm thinking a regular DW Freddy could come with the Freddy Puppet, alterhand syringe finger hands, the little girl's burnt skeleton, the television set with Freddy's head and arms on it, the doll he tosses, and alternate limbs with the holy water's damage to him.

[The Dream Master]

Don't get me wrong: that'd be bad-ass and I'd buy it in a second. :)

[Jigsaw]

I would, too.

With Jason, there's limitless figure opportunities with his drastically changing appearance throughout the series. Freddy to a lesser degree, but there's much that can be done. With Leatherface though there's relatively little. For another two or three line-ups they can do more Leatherfaces, but after that, TCM figures would mainly be the family members.

[The Dream Master]

Mezco seems to be really hung up on Leatherface. I wonder if they'll produce any figures from TCM: TNG :X.

[Jigsaw]

The ONLY TNG figure I'd be interested in is Vilmer. He was the ONLY good thing about that film, IMO.

I wouldn't mind if Mezco eventually got the licenses for Saw, Phantasm and Halloween at some point down the line. At the moment, NECA seems fixated on a lot of mainstream properties, and Mezco goes all-out with the licenses they get. I'd be thrilled to see Mezco produce figures from these three licenses for COF.

[The Dream Master]

I'm not going to lie. I'd buy a Vilmer figure too.

NECA does have alot on their plate now. It seems like they used to focus exclusively on the big horror franchises, but they do so much now that I wouldn't mind if Mezco got a hold of some of them.

[Jigsaw]

Mezco goes all-out with the accessories, articulation, interchangable parts, varying appearances, etc. and I'd trust them with other Horror licenses. And although some people critque the cartoonish appearances, they look a lot more realistic and "gritty" in person, the online pictures don't do them justice. The only COF figure IMO that really has a cartoonish look is the Series 1 Leatherface, but the rest look pretty realistic.

[The Dream Master]

I kind of have reservations about their Nightmare 1 Freddy, but I think it'll look alot better in person.

I've been very pleased with their output so far. I've bought everything related to the COF line except for the plush dolls.

[Jigsaw]

Their Jason figures have a very realistic look to them. I don't doubt the Nightmare 1Freddy will look better in person than in the pictures. The only gripe I have with the JL Jason figure is the inaccuracy of the combat waistbelt, it only has the dart pouch and not the sheaths for the machete and survival knife. I also would've liked for the JL Jason to have had an alternate right hand with a Devil Dart positioned to throw.

[The Dream Master]

The only thing I don't like about alternate limbs is the fact that I'm tempted to buy two of a figure so I can pose them either way. :lol:

[Jigsaw]

I see what you mean. They did that with the Nightmare 1 Freddy on display.

I like that Mezco really branches out with their licenses instead of making one or two figures based on a popular license and that's it. McFarlane got lazy that way, and sadly it looks like NECA is slowly but surely going that route, too.

[jasonisking]

as i said as the tcm figures run out of steam they will be adding more jasons per line.until they start adding new licences .also one of the next line of screen grabs will be you hit the prime time b@@!!h.

[Jigsaw]

The next Screen Grabs line-up will feature the Freddy TV scene from Dream Warriors, I presume?

[The Dream Master]

I'm definitely buying that screen grab.

[Jigsaw]

I have yet to get the screen grabs, but I probably will buy them eventually. I really want the JL one with Jason and Tommy fighting underwater.

[The Dream Master]

Actually, I was wrong when I said I'd bought all that stuff relating to COF. I only bought the Friday and Nightmare figures in the first wave because I'm not as big a fan of TCM.

I'll definitely be buying any screen grabs associated with those two franchises. The Jason/Tommy one is going to be awesome.

[Jigsaw]

The Jason/Tommy screen grab looks great. I'm not a huge TCM fan either, but I'll buy their TCM figures to complete and round out the collection, and will definitely get the Remake Leatherface, as I don't yet own any of the Thomas Hewitt Leatherfaces.

[The Dream Master]

I don't think I own a Hewitt Leatherface, either. I have the Sideshow 12" of Bubba Sawyer along with all the NECA figures. If I ever bought a Hewitt figure, I don't remember it.

[jasonisking]

i pretty much have a place in my heart for all horror movies.i have been watching them for around 30 years.i would say my favorites are of course friday and halloween,but i love the early 80,s slasher flicks like my bloody valentine and the prowler.both would make great figures.i also love the howling and the omen.i dont think there are to many that i dont like.i even liked drive thru with that crazy ass clown.http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/drive_thru.jpg

[Jigsaw]

TDM, I don't own any Sideshow figures. I'd like to, but they're too pricey for me and the limited run they get makes them ridiculously hard to find.

JIK, I'd buy a figure of the killer from The Prowler. I didn't care for the film, but he'd make a good addition to any line-up of Horror film killers.

[The Dream Master]

Jasonisking, check out our General Horror forum. You'll find a bunch of us over there that love slasher flicks as well. We've got dozens of threads devoted to 'em. :)

Jig, yeah, Sideshow can be pricey, that's for sure. Their figures are difficult to find on the after-market, but alot of their horror figures are easier to buy directly from them because they don't sell out too terribly fast. Compared to a franchise like Star Wars (where a figure just sold out last week in eight minutes), their House of Horror stuff was alot less pressure packed. Hell, the Dream Warriors Freddy (which was a comic con exclusive) stayed up for days, if not weeks before it sold out.

[Jigsaw]

There's a bunch of Sideshow Horror figures I'd love to get. A lot of them often come with exclusive accessories, which must be next to impossible to get as I'm sure most of the figures with the exclusive accessories have long sold out by now.

[The Dream Master]

Yeah, the exclusives will likely be very difficult to find at a reasonable price. I'm not sure what the regular editions go for, but I'm sure they vary depending on the figure. I got into them early enough to where I only missed two exclusives: the two FvJ figures. I got the regular editions though, and I've been hooked ever since.

[Jigsaw]

I'll buy whatever I can find if I ever find them. I'd love to own Sideshow figures, especially the TFC and JL Jasons, and New Nightmare Freddy.

[The Dream Master]

Ebay is probably the best way to go. I used to live near a comic book store that sold them, but that's the only place I've ever seen Sideshow products in stores.

[Jigsaw]

There's two comic stores where I live that both occasionally carry Sideshow figures, but they sell out pretty quickly.

[jasonisking]

i have alot of the sideshow horror stuff.all the 12 inch jasons,freddys,etc.a few statues,the scream scenes,and i preordered the lifesize chucky.i have all mcfarlands movie maniacs.all the neca horror figs,cof series 1,tons of masks and hocks,my home office is stuffed .but what im most proud of is my life size stuff.when i get my chucky i,ll have jason and its cool cause i can change him into any movie version.freddy,pinhead,leatherface i have him dressed like part 2.and micheal.i also have alot of garage kits.yeah i blow alot of money on this stuff.dont buy sideshow figs of ebay try the newline store.you can pick them up for there msrp of 40.bones

[Jigsaw]

Speaking of Chucky, I'd like to see Mezco get the Chucky license as well. I'd like to see a Chucky pack of sorts with Chucky in his varying appearances over all five Child's Play movies and in-scale with the Saw Billys that came with the CC Jigsaw figures.

[jasonisking]

you just came up with the next vs movie chucky vs billy they both came to play :D

[Jigsaw]

Heh, there's actually a Chucky Vs. Jigsaw video on YouTube you can find :D

It'd also be good to make a figure of Charles Lee Ray as a human before he passed his soul into Chucky. He could come with the doll and the Good Guys box along with his gun and amulet.

[jasonisking]

i never thought of that it would way cool.besides douriff does deserve is own figure for as long as he has been in this game.well gotta go work comes early good thing i,m the boss.later man

[Jigsaw]

Good night and thanks again for the pictures and updates as always. Please keep us posted :)

[jasonisking]

HEY GUYS HERE IS THE FULL COF 3 LINEUP ITS NOT THE BEST QUALITY PIC AND JASON LOOKS A BIT WEIRD IN IT BUT ITS BAD LIGHTING THE OTHER PIC IS A BETTER VIEW OF JASON.WELL HERE YOU GO.AGAIN PLEASE DONT REPOST THESE PICS.http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/toyshow025.jpg
ADDED:
also an update on sideshow.they droped the newline licence.mezco will release the 12inch figures.and gentle giant will do the high end statues.luckly my sideshow collection was complete.i bought a customized part 8 from spaz back when we were on the other board.and i made my own part 5 using a micheal body and a head from a part 4 jason.he was easy .i dyed micheals jumpsuit and i repainted the hock and head and a little supersculpy took care of the axe mark.

[The Dream Master]

Wow, we're getting the Freddy baby as an accessory. Nice.

And I figured as much about Sideshow. Honestly, they didn't have much more to do with the license anyway. And Spaz's JTM custom was awesome.

[jasonisking]

yeah spaz is a cool guy .i stll talk to him every now and then he has been pretty busy since his move to nevada.i sent him the 2 figures he needed and he charged me 50 bucks and mine looks just like his.

[Skott]

JGTH Jason looked amazing from the side picture you posted first but I'm not so sure about it with that new pic. Hopefully it's just a really bad angle or something...almost reminds me of that horrid thing McFarlane put out in the first MM series....

[jasonisking]

he is in a bad light.the first pic is a better pic of him.i saw him up close and trust me its the picture

[Skott]

he is in a bad light.the first pic is a better pic of him.i saw him up close and trust me its the picture

Going by the first picture JGTH Jason seems less "stylized" than the Final Chapter and Jason Lives figures. Not that they were not realistic but the sculpting seems to have improved vastly. Is that the case or am I just getting my hopes up? I really hope they got it right as I've been wanting a good JGTH figure for a long time and given how bad Sideshow messed up on final product on theirs.

[Jigsaw]

I'll be getting all of those figures. The one I'm looking forward to the most from COF Series 3 is the remake Leatherface, mainly because I have yet to own figures of Leatherface from the TCM remake series.

[jasonisking]

new sculpters were hired to take over the series.with the huge hit series one was and the preorders for 2 have been staggering.the company listened to the feedback from the fans who wanted more accurate liknesses and a little less articulation.mezco is realizing that they are selling to a different audeance with cof then there cartoony lines.

[Jigsaw]

I hope they don't cut down on the articulation too much. I like how COF Series 1 had both accurate sculpting and plenty of articulation and accessories. We got the best of both worlds with COF Series 2 and I hope Mezco continues it.

[jasonisking]

the articulation there doin away with is is the hand and knees.people complained about the ugly hands and some of the knee articulation was loose and causing figures to not be able to stand.on a side note i got my 12 inch resin uber jason today i put him on a sideshow stand and he looks great next to them.now i have mommy to uber in 12inch format.i got him for 100 bones from gremlinz.com

[Jigsaw]

I guess I can live without leg/knee articulation, but at the same time it limits the postures you can give the figure :meh: But as long as there's decent enough articulation with the rest of the figure I'm fine.

[jasonisking]

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/l_f1953709fff8ac325731e023ca2b0f24.jpgwell i thought i would post some picks of my life size stuff and a pic of me and my family.me my wife adrian my daughter http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/l_b328b3b30926c702eca2f8d9079c91ec.jpgmichelle and my son damian.http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/l_827bb47e5f0326be844c70c1306a1fb6.jpg

[Jigsaw]

Neat collection and a nice family you have. Is that you on the far right of the last picture?

[jasonisking]

yeah thats me.as you can tell im a huge lions fan.man i hate matt millen i would love to go jason all over his ass.i used to live in detroit and i owned my a paintball shop in taylor mi.but my grandfather passed and left me 220 acres of land in tennesse so i moved my shop to knoxville and i opened a 30acre paintball field.i also took 14 acres and from sept 25 till nov 2 i run a haunted attraction.the rest i use for hunting.

[Jigsaw]

I wish you well with your business and hope it's been going well.

[jasonisking]

yeah im actually doing alot better here with inside sales compared to what i was doin in michigan.for one its a much better economy down here and country boys like playin in the woods more then city boys.

[Jigsaw]

I've always wanted to play paintball. I've seen some paintball shops around here but don't know if they run any programs.

[jasonisking]

oh you gotta try it its a blast.by the way just poped in saw4 i love the autopsy scene its looks real as hell.but i could do without johns nuts in the beginning.is it me but the saw films just seem to be getting better with each one.the only part i dont get is the fbi guy was locked in with johns body right well what happened to the fed?also tell me a little about you.

[Jigsaw]

I thought Saw IV was decent, I liked it much better than Saw III but not nearly as much as the first two. I hated that Eric Matthews got killed off, but at least he had a spectacular finish. As for the end and what happens to Strahm, he probably gets saved by police that arrive on the scene. On the Unrated DVD, a new scene of him calling for back-up as he enters the meat plant was added in.

As for me, well, I'll be 21 in June and there's nothing particularly remarkable about me. I'm a normal guy with ambitions to write and direct films, and I'm a huge fan of movies, music, games, books, etc. anything that entertains.

[jasonisking]

thats cool.have you looked into film school.i used to write alot when i was younger.i have a few scripts put away somewhereone of my favorites was about a small town in new jersey suffering a rash of child abductions and the old folks blame it on the new jersey devil .well a collage professer who teaches crtozoology at nyu decides to take a bunch of his students out to investagate.well they interview the townspeople and end up goin out to the forrest .well the professer is killed leaving 10 city teens not only trying to find there way out of this vast forrest they also have to deal with an unholy flying demon aka the newjersey devil.

[Jigsaw]

I hope to get into film school eventually. I already wrote one script that I have to register before showing it to producers.

[jasonisking]

have you ever tried any shorts or fan films?its a good way to start.i wish i would had all this digital and editing equipment when i got out of highschool.i was class of 89.yeah im old.but still young at heart.it also helps my wife is only 28 she keeps me young.

[Jigsaw]

No but I want to eventually so I can get the ball rolling on my directing.

[jasonisking]

the one thing i suggest if your gonna direct watch alot of hitchcock and carpenter films.most modern directors just dont understand true suspence.its scarier to watch a killer stalk someone from the shadows then showing some cool gore scene.dont get caught up with everything you can put on film the more you leave to the imagination the scarier it is.halloween did,nt have a drop of blood in it but it scared the hell out of people.also read up on human psycology.the more you know how people tick the more you can use that to effect them when there watching your films.

[Jigsaw]

I do a lot of research and reading on that, and definitely hope to have an emphasis on suspense and mood rather than the gore and effects. It's always good to have a balance of all of that, but if helps more to emphasize the suspense.

[jasonisking]

just thru the howling.i love joe dante.i dont care what anyone says it blows awil away.it gets such a bad rap because of the shitty seqels.no work tomorrow kids are in bed and the wife is pulling the midnight shift at the hospital.she,s a nurse.horror movies all night woohoo.

[Jigsaw]

I've only seen parts of the original Howling, but never the whole thing. I've made it a mission to see the full movie one day.

[jasonisking]

pm your address and i,ll send you a copy.i have tons of horror movies on dvd .around 100 i think i know the folder for my horror holds 120 disks and its just about full.

[Jigsaw]

I'll rent it next time I go to rent movies, I'm pretty sure the video store near where I live has it for rent.

[The Tall Man]

Anybody heard a release date for the "Jason Lives" figure coming from the same folks who did the recent "The Final Chapter" figure?

T.M.

[kramerfan]

I heard April

[The Dream Master]

It's definitely sometime this spring.

[Jigsaw]

The JL Jason comes out in April along with the TCM2 Leatherface and NOES1 Freddy.

[jasonisking]

hi guys have,nt been in a few weeks been crazy at work but i promised a pic of dr tounge so here he ishttp://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/at002236b.jpg.he comes with real hair 7 points of articulation and a rubbery tounge.

[Jigsaw]

Looks awesome, I'll definitely be buying him along with Bub. I don't own too many zombie figures anyway, so this'll be a good start. If only we'd get figures of the Tarman from ROTLD and the cover zombie from Lucio Fulci's Zombie.

[jasonisking]

tarman is comming.the company that owns the rights to rotld has optioned the toy rights.but there not saying to who.my guess is either neca has it or amok times.but my guess is we will be seeing some kind of proto of him at comiccon.

[Jigsaw]

Good to hear the Tarman is finally being made. We just need the Fulci cover zombie, now.

[jasonisking]

we will be hard pressed to get him.he is one of those charactors companys wont touch.thats why i bought a kickass garage kit of him.i have had a few pieces made for me by g-force models.they will custom sculpt in figure you want in any scale.i love my jack torrence in the snow piece they did for me.it is an amazing likeness.they did my pennywise as well

[Jigsaw]

Why is it that the Fulci cover zombie would be a difficult figure to produce?

[jasonisking]

also here are the final paint apps on bob big differancehttp://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/bub_compare1.jpghttp://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/rodneylindley/at002069-2.jpg
ADDED:
its not that its hard to produce.they just dont think it wouldnt sell enough

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the new pictures, the new sculpt/paint looks much better now.

Fulci's Zombie has been a cult film for years and the cover zombie is fairly iconic and well-known to Horror fans. I often see Zombie T-shirts in Hot Topic stores. Hopefully we'll get a figure of the cover zombie one day.

[jasonisking]

i totally agree its iconic but the bad part is the guys ordering at the retail level no shit about horror.and there are way to many nitpicker toy collectors who would let fulci,s zombie pegwarm so they could by there 100th batman toy.

[Jigsaw]

That's why toy lines like Cult Classics and Now Playing are primarily sold at novelty shops and comic shops as opposed to general toy stores or retail outlets, since those shops cater to collectors interested in Horror memorbilia and merchandise.

[jasonisking]

thats what it has come down to.believe it or not that is why these lines are getting harder and harder to sell.the loss of mediaplay was huge.thats why jerry macalusso sold sota.he said it was just to stressfull trying to get retailers to by the figures.and in a recent q and a with randy at neca he said they could,nt release a fig like bubba hotep now.alot depends on sota right now if they can do well with np 4 we may still see some real cult figs get made but if it flops were in trouble.but cinama of fear is selling like crazy so we will see alot more jason,s and freddys

[kramerfan]

Anyone know anything about the new Cult Classics 2 Michael Myers with sheet and glasses?

[Jigsaw]

The Michael Myers with the ghost sheet is part of Cult Classics Hall Of Fame Series 3, and he's set to come out sometime in April along with Cinema Of Fear Series 2.

JIK, that's a such a shame. Horror has such a huge fanbase, but the losses of stores like Media Play and Tower Records has affected the sales in a huge way, and only mainstream properties like F13, Halloween, NOES, TCM, Saw, etc. are marketable now. Very sad, but I hope they can recover.

[kramerfan]

Anyone know youed look up the jason pt.4 mezco figure that came out few months back?Like what would i type in to find them?I tried cult classics but nothing.Usually just the set comes up and i only want jason.

[Jigsaw]

I don't know where else you can buy the Mezco TFC Jason seperately. If I find anything though I'll let you know right away.

[kramerfan]

Hi thanksjigsaw.U know me from our emails.

[Jigsaw]

I know you as well. Sorry I haven't been able to buy from you sooner, but I'm currently unemployed and it's no fun.

On another note, it seems COF Series 2 is already out early. My Mom will order the set for me later this week when she gets paid. Can't wait to finally get my JL Jason.

[kramerfan]

Hey jigsaw got a pick of the freddy noes 1 coming out?

[Jigsaw]

You can find them here:

[kramerfan]

Thanks jigsaw

[Jigsaw]

No problem, and I think he and the other COF2 figures are already out.

[jasonisking]

just got mine today.man they are nice.really well done figs.i,ll post a new jason group shot this week.later.a little tidbit about series 4. look for our beloved ny maniac.later.also there is talk that if nancy does well we just might get us a tommy

[kramerfan]

When u say ny maniac do u mean the slasher maniac from 1980?Also do u mean tommy jarvis?

[jasonisking]

i wish.no jason takes manhatten and yes tommy jarvis.series 4 should consist of jason tm ,leatherface from 3,superfreddy,and tommy jarvis again tommy depends on how well nancy does.remember guys mezco only has the newline licence and can only do f-13,tcm,and nightmare figures.they have not ventured into picking up any other movies.right now the only guaranteed money licence in horror are the 3 icons.mezco will milk it and if they make enough jack off of it they may persue others.but not until cof get to series 7 or 8.
ADDED:
het guys just got a bad email from jerry maculusso.now playing 4 is just about dead.jerry found out they have,nt even been tooled yet.and the release date was this month so the line is pretty much dead.the only good news jerry said was that neca will definatly pick up awil and leprachaun.and since his company is going gangbusters he plans on swiping up the reanamator.but as for the others like killer klowns and tremmors i dought we will ever see these.damned sota

[Jigsaw]

I'm sad to hear Now Playing is pretty much defunct now :(

For COF4, there's no JTM Jason in it? Dang, I was hoping we'd get either JTM Jason or Part 3 Jason. Hopefully we'll get Tommy and other F13 characters like Roy, Duke, Brodski, etc.

[The Dream Master]

He's saying that there is going to be a Jason Takes Manhattan figure along with Super Freddy, Tommy Jarvis, and Leatherface from TCM 3. I think that's what he's saying anyway.

[Jigsaw]

I thought he was saying there wouldn't be a JTM Jason in COF4?


i wish.no jason takes manhatten and yes tommy jarvis

:confused:

[The Dream Master]

But then he said the following:

series 4 should consist of jason tm...

I think the "no" part you referred to was a response to Kramerfan's question about a Maniac figure, but I'm not sure.

Jasonisking, clear it up for us, bud! :)

[Jigsaw]

I definitely think JTM Jason should be the next Jason for us to get. My COF5 wishlist would be:



Part 3 Jason
Nightmare 2 Freddy
TCM: The Beginning Leatherface
ANB Roy Burns

[kramerfan]

Hi whats COF stand for?Also what all Chucky,freddy, and Lepracaun figures have been release thru neca,mezco,?

[Jigsaw]

COF = Cinema Of Fear.

Currently, NECA appears to still have the Child's Play license and Mezco has the license for NOES as well as F13 and TCM. As for the Leprechaun, SOTA had the license for that, but it seems SOTA's Now Playing line-up might be defunct and someone else may instead produce the Leprechaun.

[kramerfan]

Hey jgsaw isnt their chucky and lepracaun figures out?Also what about classic freddy 1 and 2?

[Jigsaw]

Chucky has been out and both COF Freddys are out now, too. The Leprechaun hasn't been released yet, and may have been cancelled along with the entire Now Playing line.

[kramerfan]

Oh ok thanks

[Jigsaw]

Dang, due to rent payments, I'll have to wait until April 18th to get COF Series 2. Hope the sets are still in stock by then.

[jasonisking]

yes jason takes manhatten will be in cof 4.sorry for the mix up.

[Jigsaw]

Awesome, thanks for the clarification. JTM Jason has long been in need of an action figure and it's great to hear it'll finally happen. COF4 sounds pretty good.

JIK, earlier in this thread you said that NECA was taking a bath with the Grindhouse license, and you weren't kidding; Cult Classics Series 7 and 8 will both have Grindhouse figures (CC7 Machete, CC8 Stuntman Mike). On NECA's latest Q&A on their MySpace, they said no further Grindhouse figures were planned, but I wouldn't be surprised if they make more. They seem to be milking the license for all it's worth, which isn't a bad thing, but IMO it would be better to give certain licenses their own line-ups.

Good to see his mask is removable. I'll be getting that along with the other COF2 figures on the 18th.

[kramerfan]

Is that pt.7 jason fgure jasonisking?Which one?

[Jigsaw]

Those pictures are of the COF2 Jason Lives Jason.

[kramerfan]

Oh is that one with jason holding the rod tht includes leatherface 2,nancy bathtub scene,and freddy noes 1?

[Jigsaw]

Yes it is.

[The Tall Man]

Two things:

1.) You guys are already talking about series 5... what about series 3?

2.) Does anyone know who's selling COF Series 2? Spencers didn't have them (which is where I picked up Jason 4 in December).

T.M.

[Jigsaw]

1. COF3 was already announced, and we're talking about future line-ups for the series.

2. Places like Entertainment Earth and novelty shops would carry COF.

[The Tall Man]

Are those just online joints? I want someplace I can walk in and actually pick them up. I've never heard of "Entertainment Earth" so chances are we don't have one.

T.M.

[Jigsaw]

Yes, online places, like Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store, etc. when buying these figures in person, I usually find them in comic shops and novelty shops like Spencer's and Suncoast.

[AOD]

COF 3 and 4 have line ups? Please what are they?

[Jigsaw]

Series 3 will consist of JGTH Jason, TCM '03 Leatherface, Dream Child Freddy in his Chef suit and the Hitchhiker from TCM '74. Series 4 will consist of JTM Jason, TCM3 Leatherface, Super Freddy from TDC and Tommy Jarvis (not sure which version).

[jasonisking]

tommy will be the child version.they are altering the goonies sculpt of cory feldman as this will be a very cost effective way of putting him out.there is alot of risk with good guy figures.and this is a good way to test the market.it also looks like if sota finnaly gives up on now playing.there is a good chance we will still see the release of some of there figures.neca has expressed an interest in the tremmors and leprachaun licences.and jerry macalusso wants the reanimator licence and amoktimes has stated they would be very interested in the killer klown licence.also it looks like amoktimes will be releasing the tarman .i really thought neca would be doing him but amoktimes seems to be willing to do figures that neca wont touch.i emailed david over there and he really surprised me.i asked him about the fulci zombie for you jiggy and he said if they can figure out the licencing with europe they are going to try and do him.i stand corrected jigsaw.there also seems to be an issue with who owns the rights to the howling.cause if they can figure it out they would like to do a box set of the wolf and eddy quest.man you just got to love these new guys.

[kramerfan]

That is great news jasoniking.Anyone seen that new pt.6 jason bust?

[Jigsaw]

Thanks for the update, JIK. Good to hear we may see a figure of the Fulci Zombie somewhere down the line.

[kramerfan]

Hey jigsaw u know anything about that new jason 6 bust?
