About this deal

Rather than do a movable jaw, the figure includes two heads, and that was absolutely the right choice.

Never before made as an action figure, Kessler's wolf form is more than 11 inches at its full length and has over 30 points of articulation.We’ve definitely seen some Uzis from NECA before and I’m not sure if this is a recycled sculpt or not, but it’s got to be one of the best renditions of this weapon in this scale I’ve ever owned. I hesitate to give it the comedy-horror moniker, because despite the more flippant and whimsical elements, I found this movie to be absolutely terrifying when I first saw it. The Nightmare Demons appear in main character David’s dreams in one of the film’s most bloodcurdling scenes.

The classic 1981 movie is the perfect blend of comedy and true horror and follows two American backpackers and their increasingly terrifying trip across England. I’m in the middle of a bonus NECA horror weekend trifecta, just to squeeze a few extra spooky bits of plastic in before Halloween.This Ultimate incarnation of evil includes 4 interchangeable heads, 3 firearms, 2 knives, torch, and more. I’m not sure if that’s really the case, but this one looks like a werewolf with his face melting off. It’s easy for figure companies to phone in knives at this scale, but NECA always gives it their all, and these are really nice pieces with painted rivets running through the grip and clipped point blades. The classic 1981 movie is the perfect blend of comedy and true horror, it follows two American backpackers through their, terrifying, trip across England.

The film’s Nightmare Demon sequence involves a squad of military demons bursting into the Kessler home and massacring the whole family. Part of the "Kessler Wolf" design is the way the giant fangs protrude from the mouth, snd there's no real way to make them look correct in both closed and open poses without resculpting the mouth.Yeah, I nitpicked one of the heads, but you have to realize that I was obsessed with monster effects when I was a teenager and I remember drooling over pictures of Rick Bakers’ work in magazines and I really wanted to own one like it.

the United Kingdom has a long tradition of sinister, mythical, giant dogs - pretty much every culture that's ever lived on the British Isles has had its own take on the hellhound, for instance - so making this lycanthrope more closely resemble those tales makes it feel appropriately localized.This Ultimate incarnation of evil includes 4 interchangeable heads, 3 firearms, 2 knives, a torch, and more. Includes interchangeable heads and comes in a collector-friendly window box with opening flap that’s great for display. The first is a British Sterling and this is an absolutely gorgeous little sculpt of this iconic weapon. However, sometimes the manufacturer can run into production or licensing problems and occasionally items are cancelled either temporarily or permanently. The figure itself sports what looks like WW2 era military fatigues, including a pocketed tunic, high boots, gloves, and a belt and shoulder strap.
