Pennywise bobbleheads


Look what I found at a comic book store in Redlands, California titled, "The Quest Store."  An entire shelf dedicated to IT.

Review Of Stephen King Action Figure



I love this line, "What's so great about this figure is that authors don't usually get action figures made out of them.  Actually, I don't think an authors ever been made into an action figure."

Waiting for my Ray Bradbury, Rod  Serling, Robert McCammon, Dean Koontz, Robert Bloch, Poe action figures.

"As to any kind of likeness to Stephen King, this would  get a zero."

I first saw this at my favorite Stephen King website, liljas-library.com/

Looking for something a little different for your collection?  Check out these offerings from the Clay Guy (clayguy.com)  Some of this is just plain creepy; in a wonderful kinda way.  There seems to be a special love for Pet Sematary and the classic work of Stephen King here.

I love seeing the actors with their clay representations.

PAPER TOY: STEPHEN KING HANGS AROUND YOUR HOUSE


This is kind of strange. . . from writesideout.com

What could be better than having a famous writer hanging around the house, classing up the joint with witty anecdotes about his published works? Nothing, that's what!
That's why I've made the "Stephen King Hangs Around Your House" paper toy. Print it out. Cut it out. Paste a button on Stephen's foot and hang him to balance anywhere his feet can swing free. A light switch will do or a pin on your bulleting board. He'll even hang from your finger...and who wouldn't want Stephen King wrapped around their little finger? 
Make this simple paper toy today and tomorrow you can began complaining, in all honesty, that "Stephen King keeps hanging around my house."Time needed to complete this project: about 6 minutes 
Supplies needed to complete this project: color printer 8 1/2 by 11 inch white, heavy card stock scissors white glue or glue stick button or pennyActual size of this paper toy is about 6 inches by 6 inches.

Twilight Zone Action Figures



Twilight Zone Action Figures -- cool, I think.  But not at $10 each!  (entertainmentearth.com)

Makes me wonder what action figures might be cool from the SK universe.  I did see a Pennywise action figure.  Not sure what to do with it without the loosers club.  I would like actions figures from The Stand.  The whole gang.

Stephen King TOYBOX

Here's my Stephen King digital toybox.  Tell me what SK toys you've found.

The first is my favorite:
Terri Coop's custom figure (and box!) for the Roland
character from the Stephen King "The Dark Tower"
series of books
.
novajoe.ebcutler.com


Christine, from Lilja's Library

Christine (why is she blue?)

Creepshow 2

And then there's this. . .
Stephen King Dressed As Pennywise Action Figure

I find this one kind of. . .creepy.  But, I guess a Stephen King action figure could take Carrie to the prom.  The details are below (it was custom made) intuitionkitchenproductions.com
Size: 6inches tall
Articulating parts: 13
Materials: polymer clay, internal hand-carved styrofoam
The latest custom commission was from a client who loves Stephen King. It was an honor and pleasure to acquiesce to such a request. Along with the obvious allusion to his RedSox/baseball personal obsession, there’s other references to 5 of King’s stories, books and movies. I’ll send a pack of stickers to anyone who can guess all 5- use the message form at the bottom of this page.

CARRIE Action Figure



I saw this first  at my favorite Stephen King website, liljas-library.com.

It's a Carrie action figure.  I'm not completely sure why. . . but there it is!  To put in your Stephen King toy box.  Next time GI Joe needs a date. . . here she is! Your Darth Vader action figure need a better foe than the wimpy Luke Skywalker. . . here she is!  

NECA is to produce a line of 7 inch figures based on The remake of Stephen King's Carrie.

The NECA website offers  this description:
A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White, a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother, who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.
This figure assortment includes a beautiful Carrie, flower bouquet in hand, glamorous & elegant at the start of her prom night.
The second figure is Carrie as she unleashes her rage, covered in blood from head to toe. It’s a frightening sight to behold.
Figures stand approx 6.5″ tall.

I am now waiting for:
  • A Dark Tower playset.
  • The Stand action figures
  • Desperation cowboy hat
  • Christine steering wheel cover
  • Pet Sematary dog sweater
  • Drawing of the Three Uno cards

IT action figure




IT's a. . . a. . . It's a Pennywise action figure.  Just in case GI Joe can't take down Cobra, this clown can take care of business.  Wait. . . which side is he on?  WHO MADE A PENNYWISE ACTION FIGURE?  Rock on.

I found it on ebay HERE.  It's at $20 right now, if anyone wants to jump in.  My wife won't let me make this investment.

Want To Play CREEPSHOW ?




John Ary at aintitcool.com has an article listing several new super cool toys.  These include Superman, Batman and Darth Vader.  Now that is a cool listing.  If Superman did battle with Darth Vader. . . wait, that’s a post for another time!  Talk about nerd debate.  Oh, also included is Mars Attacks, Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Ary also notes that there is a Creepshow toy coming out.  Yes, I’m serious!
Back in 1982, two horror heavyweights (George Romero and Stephen King) teamed up for an anthology film called Creepshow. 30 years later Shrunken Head Studios has recreated the creature from the Father’s Day chapter in the 1/6 figure scale. Mr. Grantham features a film accurate sculpt, posable jaw, his three-piece suit, the marble ashtray, 30 points of articulation, and a tray with seven light-up candles perched on top of Sylvia’s severed head. This figure is limited to 400 pieces and is available for pre-order.
Full article HERE.

Now, with my new Christine toy car – I’m well on my way to a Stephen King toy collection.







I Own Christine

I bought Christine the other day, and it finally arrived.

Well, it's a diecast toy car, the size of a hot-wheels or matchbox car.


It is an "Authentic replica."  Only. . . it's blue, not red.  Even the picture of Christine on the box is of a red car, and this is blue.  I don't get it!  But, it's "1 of only 12,000."  (12,000 !!!  My entire town could own one!)

This is a series of toy cars called, "Frigth'ning Lightnings (they registered this statement, so no one could steal it). . . they live!"  You can also collect: The Ghostbusters Ecto-1A, Elvira Macabre Mobile, Boothill Express, Haulin Hearse, The Mysterion, and Vampire Van.


Christine scares a new generation. . .
actually, one of these kids loves the movie

Get this -- the guy who owns the Chrstine used in the movie really will sell ya pics of the car -- autographed by Christine herself!  What that means is that he ran over the photo with the car after inking the tires.  (HERE)
