I have been patiently waiting since they put him up for pre-order about 1-2 months ago. I'm stoked about this figure....never though in a million years that this would happen.
I pre-ordered from Mad About Horror when I went there to order the 1978 Halloween Accessory Pack.
When TOTS showed the figure alongside the Michael Myers range, at whatever show that was, I didn't know who the creepy clown was.
However, there was something so disturbing about him I was intrigued about the source material. I found
All Hallows' Eve,
Terrifier and the
Terrifier short.
The films were just as disturbing as the figure! So much so that, as a hater of clowns, I wasn't sure whether I really wanted to own and display a figure of him. Still not sure even
after ordering.
I have a small 1/6 horror collection. While it's a genre I enjoy watching, it hasn't been one I've wanted to collect. I dipped my toe into the water with what I consider to be the 'big three': 1978 Michael Myers (TOTS); Jason (Sideshow Part III); Freddy (Sideshow Part 3).
I also have Star Ace's Christopher Lee Dracula, because he's such an iconic version of the character. And on the fringe, SW Ourworld's two versions of Hannibal Lecter.
Of those the most insidious is probably Freddy, but I regard Art the Clown as even more depraved!
