Today, NECA thrilled horror fans with their latest Monster Mayhem Friday announcement, introducing two remarkable figures from the Krampus movie. As we delve into the dark side of Christmas, these figures not only capture the essence of the film’s characters but also stand out with their intricate details and impressive dimensions.
A Closer Look at NECA’s Krampus Figure
Krampus: Towering Terror in Detail
The centerpiece of this release is Krampus himself, towering at 10 inches tall—three inches above NECA’s standard figures. This decision coolly reflects Krampus’ imposing presence in the movie, where he looms over the family as both a punisher and a reminder of what Christmas spirit should not become.
Accessories and Features: Bringing the Krampus Movie to Life
The figure comes with five interchangeable hands and ten accessories, including the iconic snowglobe from the movie’s haunting finale. This snowglobe, a Krampus’s method of spying on the families he has visited, adds a special touch of horror to the collectible.
Introducing Krampus Der Klown: A Terror from the Attic
Der Klown’s Design: Horrifically Detailed
The second figure is the Krampus Der Klown, a character that emerges during the tension-filled attic attack scene. This character melds the horror of a porcelain doll clown with the grotesqueness of a worm-like larva, creating a chilling effect. Measuring 10 inches in length, Der Klown is not only large but also features interchangeable jaws and a set of “human leg” accessories, allowing enthusiasts to recreate the disturbing moment where it devours an annoying child.
Pricing and Availability: What Collectors Need to Know
Setting the Scene for a Monstrous Christmas Display
Both figures exceed the usual size of NECA figures and include a variety of detailed accessories, causing them to reach a much higher price point than a standard figure—$69.99 for Der Klown and $99.99 for Krampus. Although these prices are steep compared to typical NECA figures, the unique features, significant scale, and lack of availability of any alternative of these models make them standout pieces for any collector.
Scheduled for release in October, these figures will arrive just in time to be the centerpiece of any Christmas monster display, blending the festive cheer with the unique horror twist that the Krampus movie masterfully delivered. Pair them with las week’s Holiday Chucky release for an extra violent Holiday display. Whether for display or as a holiday decoration with a dark twist, these figures are a must-have for fans of the Krampus movie and horror collectibles alike.
