If you are a fan of the It you are in luck. NECA announced today at the New York Toy Fair that they are producing two Pennywise action figures. The two figures will feature the 1990 Pennywise portrayed by Tim Curry as well as the latest incarnation portrayed by Bill Skarsgård in 2017’s version of the film.
Here are the two action figures as featured on NECA’s Instagram page. They were put up on Instagram to coincide with the first day of Toy Fair in New York City that kicked off today. Here’s the 2017 version. It’s now available on Amazon.
Here’s the 1990 version of Pennywise made famous by Tim Curry.
The two Pennywise action figures are amazing. They are 7′ scale and come with different heads, hands and props so you can recreate your favorite scenes from both films. But, be warned. The two action figures that were shown at Toy Fair and on NECA’s Instagram account are only prototypes and are subject to change. There’s even an outside chance that they won’t get made. I’m not saying they won’t, but I’ve seen some really cool Halloween props in the past that never made it past the prototype stage. Last year Morbid Enterprises made a lifesize Arkham Joker prop that was one of the best Halloween props I’d ever seen. However, the prop didn’t get a great reception from retailers and was never made, even though everyone at the trade shows loved it.
It’s not known just yet what the new Pennywise action figures will sell for. If I had to make an educated guess based on other licensed action figures NECA produces I would say anywhere from $24.99 to $49.99. But that is only an educated guess. We will likely find out later this summer what the retail price will be. As always, that price can vary depending on which retailer you use to make your purchase.
Like most new Halloween items the two new NECA creations will not ship until August but you will have them in time for October when things get spooky around your house.
Don’t forget what our old friend Pennywise says, “YOU’LL FLOAT TOO! YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!”
Halloween will be here before you know it. I can’t wait to see what else will be new for 2018.
