Most of these figures are no longer being made so the prices can be high at times, but die hard King fans may not care.. I'm going to start off with Neca's attempt to profit from Carrie... Neca made a standard and a bloody version of the Chloe version of Carrie, and I guess Michael Myers was her date for some figure dance or something... The standard version goes for about 60-90 on Ebay, haven't come across the bloody version in awhile. Then there's Stephen King himself, its from the Simpsons line of figures, he retails for about 120-160, not a super easy find but Ebay has a few right now.. Now the Dark Tower figures, one can get both for under 40 if they look around. Diamond Select took a hit by making these figures since the film just didn't really catch on. There's more licensed stuff out there but I also want to touch on the Etsy crowd as well... here's a pic of the custom Jack Lego figure.. which I think is pretty cool. They go for about 2-3 dollars, not bad. But someone decided to make yet another one... Like I said in the other thread, this is just a taste of what is out there, there's far more... Oh I will post one more pic, this is a pre-order for Redman's licensed Jack Torrance figure, it looks bad a§§ but it goes for 190-240 right now. But Redman does 1:6 instead of 1:12, so its a much larger figure. I'm hoping Neca or Mezco does a figure of Rose, would also love a figure of Johnny (Walken version) from the Dead Zone, but I won't hold my breath, it can take eons. Neca just did a cloth figure of John Nada from They Live, and that movie is how old?

Its pretty cool and has a lot of articulation, which is rare for 12 inch figures, usually they have less articulation than the smaller ones but Redman, while not as known as Mezco and Neca, is out to prove they're just as good, if not better. Hot Topic has a line of Doctor Sleep shirts, I'm not into the shirt thing anymore, I feel like I'm advertising for the bands or studios and not being paid. Rose The Hat - I'd grab this if I still was Or how about a Rose fan made poster from Redbubble? One word of warning, some use this silky canvas material with custom posters and whenever I frame them, they ripple a little, haven't figured out how to get them to be perfectly flat. Or a comforter from Redbubble as well and with the same image? Firestarter, sadly, the film that got me into his work to begin with, merch wise, even fan made merch, not really out there. I've come across stickers and a shirt with the same image as the one on the right in this pic, but other not much.. lots of Drew stuff when it comes to ET, just not Firestarter. It's a diehard collector market right now, so if Doctor Sleep is still selling books and the film is still selling, I think we'll see official stuff down the road, but mainly of Rose and Dan, Abra will get shunned. Kid figures usually don't sell very well...

I like the Green Mile but while I'm not into Green Mile merch, some others may. Here's a fan made poster one can find on Etsy.. Not King related but they were finally going to make a really cool Brody figure from Jaws, the sculpt was pretty solid and it was part of Neca's cloth line of figures, they also had Quint in the lineup. But the fmaily of "Brody" changed their mind after it was available for pre-orders, no idea why, so no Brody figure. THey allowed Funko to make a Pop version of him though, so I have no idea what caused them to kick Neca to the curb, Neca actually made him look cool, Funko Pops look stupid as hell. Just my opinion...

And of course there's more.. This goes for 70-90 dollars, can usually be found on Walmart's site or Ebay... its CHRISTINE... (she can kick Kitt's arse). Neca had doubts but they risked it anyways and made a 1990 version of Pennywise, just the traditional 7 inch plastic format they usually go with. Value wise, it isn't going up, wasn't a huge seller but did alright, not unlike the 1990 tv movie, it did alright as well. Random Pennywise tidbit.. the mother in Donnie Darko is reading IT in one of the scenes in the film. And while I'm mentioning Donnie Darko, Neca was smart on that one, they didn't make a Donnie Darko figure, but they did make Frank, and it sold very well and these days the price varies, I've seen used ones go for 70 and new ones go for 150. Great film, and damn, it boosted Jake to the majors, rightfully so, solid actor. Salem's Lot is too old of a tv film for Neca to bother with but I have a hunch, just a hunch, if the reboot happens, we'll see Neca or Mezco make one or two of the characters.

Heh, just realized I already posted the DT figures, so instead of DT, here's Salem's Lot mug... it can be found on Ebay for about 15.

I haven't come across any new King stuff in the last few days, nothing that one can't see on the shelves of Target. I did come across these trippy DIY like figures however... keep in mind... they're kind of creepy in some ways. Silicone for the body, underneath the silicone is a metal skeleton that makes it totally pose able, almost lifelike in every way except the head. They come in either the 1/6th scale or 1/12, and they're delicate as hell and silicone can be ruined rather easy, but I picked one up to do a custom and its in its little protector box that it came with. I've done two customs in a 30 year time period, I did a custom Danzig figure and a custom Bloodrayne, but those were easy compared to making Rose or Cassie. And then one has to get a stand, can't use the traditional metal ones, that will tear the silicone, so yeah... this is going to be a task.
