Randy recently hinted at possibly doing a fourth wave in his interview with the Fwoosh in October. Sounds like it could be a Kane, Lambert and Dallas wave sans space suits. It also sounds like it's in early stages so probably wouldn't drop until late 2021 if not 2022.

Oh, really? If true, that would absolutely be worth waiting for.

Straight from Randy's mouth. Alien convo starts at 1:45:13 on the video posted 20 October 2020 on the Fwoosh youtube channel. Here's hoping we get a Kane with a swapable chest piece. Getting a chest bursted one would make for a great figure to mod for dioramas that and it would be perfect in an Alien display.

Like how the T-1000 figure had a swappable chest? That would be awesome.

That and the
BigBadToyStore Nightmare On Elm Street Part 3 Ultimate Freddy Krueger which had the swapable chest of souls. Kane with a swampable chest is totally possible and hopefully something they're seriously considering!

As a longtime fan of this franchise, I couldnt be more stoked! =D

Wow! Looks pretty sweet, I never watched "The Puppet Master" series, but I read a movie blog about it, and I might make a shelf for these AFTER I see the movies

Nice post!

Little smaller than I was expecting.

OH! So these are going to be small? Close to scale with other 7 inch figures. I'm all for that. When they made Chucky smaller I was very happy with that. I've always hoped they would do that with the Gremlins like but I'm glad we're getting that here.

I think they will scale better with 12".

Eh not really; I think Chucky and Gremlins are close enough for 1/6 scale figures. These are 4.25"; that would translate to over 2' tall. The puppets were like half that size at most right?

SpasticPlastic · 11-08-2020, 03:08 PM

Good call. Chucky is 29". Blade is 21".

Yeah, the movie puppets were, like, 10" to 12". The Full Moon PVC figurines are 2 1/2" tall and scale with my 7" horror figures. They definitely shouldn't be taller than Chucky.

I'm kind of torn on these figures. I love the movies, but I like to display my Neca horror together. They're not supposed to be out until March, so I think I'll wait until I see them reviewed before I decide.

Joe Moore · 11-08-2020, 05:26 PM

The puppets are actually taller than most people realize. In the movies, Blade is about 21” tall, Pinhead was about 19” tall. So the sizes seem to be a bit off figure to figure. That puts the figures at between 1/4 and 1/5 scale. I personally would have preferred full 7” tall figures. But I want to see these in hand before I say whether the size is ok or not.

Yeah, when I measured my Ultimate Chucky he is just shy of 4" tall. If 4.25 is the tallest, Pinhead for example, and the rest are shorter, then game on for me. I am curious though, the only Full moon figures I remember were the 5 or 6 inch tall versions. I wasn't aware of any 2.5" figures. Can you post a picture?

I always prefer my figures to be in scale with each other, but I get the appeal to have larger figures when the figure is of a small or tiny character. Makes them stand out more. I just love how figures look on my shelf when they all are scaled to each other, like a great big horror film crossover, lol.

Here are the figures as I have them displayed. I had to use some small figure stands since they don't stand that great on their own. Unfortunately, they are a little too short for the stands. I could hook the one on Blade's hat, but I had to bend the other one over Torch's shoulders.

Here's a link to where you can buy them: https://www.fullmoondirect.com/Action-Figures_c_94.html

Ohhh! Those ARE pretty neat! Doesn't look like they are articulated? Still some nice paint either way. I'd still prefer some bigger figures with articulation, though if these had a few cut joints I'd pick these up for sure.

No articulation. Considering their size, it's understandable, but it still would have been nice to have swivel shoulders.

It's a box you dopes! Just slide it out, give it a little slippy slippy slidey. Let them go to your home.

More seriously, I third the packing, well done.
