The first thing I thought when I saw the new 5.5-inch tall Savage World figure series from Funko was "there are going to be some angry kitbashers and customizers".
Looking very similar to the 1980's Masters of the Universe figure line, Savage World is starting off with a Horror Villains series, featuringFreddy Krueger from ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’, Jason Voorheesfrom ‘Friday the 13th’, Leatherface from 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', Michael Myersfrom 'Halloween', andPinheadfrom 'Hellraiser'.
It must be noted...a smaller scale (3.75-inch) Mortal Kombat Savage World series was released by Funko. Although, they didn't look as MOTU-esqe. You can currently pre-order the Horror Series over at Amazon.com for $14.99 each (expected to ship September 12th 2018).
With The Predator set to open up at theaters next month, Funko has dropped a few nuggets for fans of the film franchise. The Pop! Movies: The Predator Series features the titular creature with a one-in-six chase (a Super Predator (in case the Predator wasn’t sufficiently terrifying) and a Predator Hound with a one-in-six Chase (yes...there will be Predator Pups).
There will be a number of exclusives, including a highly colorful heat vision version of a Predator Hound is available as an Amazon exclusive. Rory wearing a Predator mask is available as a Funko Shop exclusive. And a chrome version of the Predator is available at FYE!
Look for these to be available for pre-orderover at Amazon.com (or you can pick up some of the already released Predator collectibles).
