4) NECA’s relatively new retro-style line has given birth to a handful of awesome Freddy Krueger toys, including ones based on Wes Craven’s original and its sequel, Freddy’s Revenge. At last year’s Comic-Con, a ‘Super Freddy’ retro figure was even put up for grabs, inspired by The Dream Child. Up next, Dream Warriors Freddy joins the line, and the 8″ figure features real fabric clothing and even has a detailed ‘chest of souls’ sculpted into the torso. You’ll find this version of Freddy on shelves in October.

5) Fans have for years been begging NECA to make a toy of ‘Bat Gremlin,’ who was of course seen in Gremlins 2: The New Batch. The company responded to those requests by showing off their coolest Gremlins toy to date at Comic-Con, finally bringing Bat Gremlin to life in a truly impressive way. With a massive wingspan, the mega-sized Bat Gremlin figure is sure to be the highlight of any Gremlins fan’s toy collection, and no matter what the price is, I’m pretty sure it’ll be worth every penny.

6) Based on the original 1987 film, this massive new Predator action figure marks the return of the Jungle Hunter to NECA’s 1/4 scale line. Long out of production, their very first Predator toy has been updated to include LED lights in the mask’s targeting system and in the wrist computer, which flips open. The figure stands an impressive 19″ tall and is entirely accurate to the movie design, with over 20 points of articulation and mesh body suit netting. Look for this one in October.

7) NECA is all about making toys of horror icons not just from the movies, but also from many other forms of media. Due out in November, the Ultra Deluxe Red Queen is based on the Aliens: Genocide comic book series of the early 90s, and stands over 15″ tall and over 30″ long. With over 30 points of articulation, including a spectacular poseable tail, the deluxe figure is completely in scale with NECA’s current Aliens action figure line, and features a new head crest and all-new deco.
