10 Upcoming Horror Toys You Absolutely Need to Own!

The Ring‘s Sadako/Samara makes her action figure debut later this year as Japanese toy company Bandai releases this highly articulated version of one of the creepiest characters in the history of horror cinema. Set to crawl its way out of the well in July, the toy comes apart at the waist and includes a TV set display base, allowing you to make it appear as if Sadako is emerging from the TV. Alternate hands and head will be included with one head fully covered in hair and the other exposing the eyeball that resulted in a million nightmares.

If you’re asking me, the best thing that TV has got going for it right now is NBC’s “Hannibal,” which takes existing characters and storylines and injects so much new life into them that’s it hard to even drawn comparisons between the show and previous depictions of those characters and events. The folks over at Funko are as into the show as we are, and just a few weeks back they showed off these mock-up images of an upcoming line of their fan-favorite POP! Vinyl figures based on the show. No word yet on when they’ll be available, but we can expect them to begin shipping out around the time of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con – an event that the bloody Hannibal variant will be exclusive to.

One of the most controversial horror toys of all time is Kenner’s 18″ Alien figure, released back in 1979. Amidst parental complaints that the toy was far too frightening for children to be playing with, the figure was pulled from shelves and has since gone on to become a hot commodity amongst collectors. Later this year Gentle Giant releases their own version of that controversial toy, which is an exact replica, only rescaled to a height of 24″ tall. The figure will be packaged in a period-authentic box and will give us all a chance to own a true piece of horror toy history without maxing out our credit cards for an original one on eBay. And that’s something we should all be happy about!
