Wow, and after such a positive review and all.

Fantastic gallery. I've got one waiting under the tree for Christmas. I'm not the biggest Child's Play fan, but I had to pick this one up for my horror collection. Neca did an amazing job. Might be the best attempt by any company yet.

I totally agree. I'm barely a casual fan of the movies but this figure looks so good I'm totally going to pick one up when I see it at retail.

I’m a big fan of horror figures, and love the NECA range in general, but I can’t see myself getting a Chucky.

I liked the films well enough, and the figure itself looks great, but being from the UK and of a certain age, the Chucky films have very negative connections with a high profile child torture and murder case from the 90s (Jamie Bulger).

Obviously not a slight on the films or this figure, but as great as it is I’d struggle to disassociate it from that incident (particularly as the father of one of my friends was a barrister on the case).

Wow, can you elaborate on the case in question? What happened, exactly?

Just picked this up at toysrus tonight. Excellent figure.

Just google the name he gave you. I remember that case,similar to the adam Walsh case. Long story short,some people are pure evil and should never see the light of day again....no matter the age. Also another case thought to be connected to child's play 3 was the murder of Suzanne Capper.

Any way I also picked up the ultimate ash from the tv series. Again awesome figure. Any one know when that evil dead 2 pack is coming out?

Some kids watched Child’s Play 3 and went to a shopping mall, abducted a much younger kid, tortured him in ways inspired by the film, and killed him. If I remember correctly, there was a call in the press to ban the films after it happened.

I heard a more graphic version from my friend (involving batteries) that never made it to the press, but although I don’t think he would lie about that kind of thing I question how much his dad (the barrister) would reveal that kind of information.

As I say, you can’t blame the film for the actions of a couple of evil, moronic scum, but for me the association stuck.

Great shots! I picked this up a week ago and really like it. I love this figure being smaller and more in scale with the other 7 inch figures. About time they did that an di hope they do more like some smaller Gremlins.

My only issues with this figure are that many have really oddly painted eyes. Many figures at the store had eyes that didn't look in the same direction. Additionally, the arm with the knife sticking out. I was so worried I was going to snap that blade off taking it back out. Really wish they used a softer plastic for that.

In all, despite the price tag being $25-ish it's got the most bang for your bucks with all the articulation and accessories...unlike say Mezco's Bride of Chucky for a a similar price with only shoulders and neck joints, lol.

Great looking figure as usual from Neca. $25 doesn't seem steep with all the stuff you get, but I don't need all that stuff. You can only display It with so much at a time. I'd like to see 1 figure from each look at a lower price tag. That way I wouldn't have to spend $75+ to display each version.

The set was only revealed in February so while delays still suck "last June" would precede the pack's announcement.

Wha..?

February comes before June. It was revealed February 2017, it was supposed to come out in June 2017, but now it's coming out March 2018.

You saying "last June" made it sound like you meant June 2016 to me, since it is still 2017 you could have just said "back in June" and neither of us would now be confused

Way late, but I had to chime in on that particular media circus. When the case went to trial, it was discovered that the two boys being charged had never actually seen the film - it was simply something that got 'thrown out there' and through the media circus, got stuck in the public consciousness.
