Horror Block October 2014

October's Horror Block got to me here in the UK in super quick time this month, and oh boy did they knock it out of the park!!

First up, a Build Your Own Zombie! A fun modelling clay kit!

A very cool box of horror themed Cereal Killer stickers and cards with a fun spin on a well known cereal on each side of the box.

A blu ray of Puppet Master! I mean, it might not work on anything I have here due to region locking (I've yet to try) but that's such a cool item to get in a monthly box!

I got a copy of Fangoria, which is great as I've been trying to find this here in the UK and sometimes I'm lucky and I find it, but more often than not I don't see it here.

A new t-shirt which is great, a sweet Friday the 13th design which is very cool!!

But for me, the item of the month is this guy

This months Horror Block is absolutely worth the subscription fee! Very happy with this months delivery right before Halloween!

My Geek Box October 2014 "Nightmare"

Received this months My Geek Box which has a "Nightmare" in honour of it being Halloween this month. I was really looking forward to this box as I love Halloween - so let's take a look inside and see what goodies it held!

First up we get the second issue of the My Geek Box magazine, again with reviews and interviews inside. Cool cover this month!

Next up is a poster with 4 classic horror characters on it.

A Zombie Zity Swobblerz. A zombie barber wobble head that I guess has an interchangeable head with other toys in the range. I can't even begin to imagine how bad a haircut you'd get off this guy...

Also got a series one Zomling.

And some sweets!!

The last small thing is a Jack Skellington magnet.

I guess the two big items this month are the last two.

Firstly is a Jason Voorhees Funko Pop vinyl figure. Which would be brilliant if I didn't already have him!

And as always, you get the monthly t-shirt. This month is a red Child's Play number with a twist on Tickle Me Elmo.

All in all, it's a pretty good box! Next month's theme is "The Best of British". Interested to see that one, hoping for some Doctor Who goodies!

NECA NES Jason Voorhees

Ever since I saw this guy I knew I had to have him. I'm a fan of the Friday the 13th franchise and a videogame fan, so really it was a no brainer to pick this guy up when I could. Thankfully Amazon had him at a very reasonable price so he quickly became mine!

And look at him! Isn't he awesome?!

The packaging made to look like the NES videogame box art is great and it's even better that it's a hinged door to a window display of the toy, so cool. The colour scheme of this guy is crazy, but nails the in game look of Jason with his wacky purple and light blue colours.

The light blue of his mask (which is removable), shoes, hands, and blades of his machete and hatchet all glow in the dark which is a nice touch. This figure is from NECA so is just the same model of Jason that we've seen in the past, but that's no bad thing as he's a great figure. Here he is with my battle damaged Friday the 13th Part 3 Jason

As you can see (other than the battle damage of Jason's face) they're the same sculpt and figure, just updated paint jobs.

This NES Jason is excellent though, it appeals to the old school video game nerd, toy nerd and horror nerd inside of me all at the same time, which is just great!

Articulation wise, his head moves side to side and up and down just a tiny bit. His arms move out and up and down at the shoulders, a single elbow bend and his hands can spin right round and pivot a little. He has a bit of a diaphragm crunch, his legs move forward at the hips but not back really, his knees bend and his ankles move a little. It's not a ton of movement but enough to get him standing with no issues holding one of his weapons and looking menacing!

Keep your eyes peeled for my thoughts on the rest of the NECA 8-bit inspired figures, coming this way soon! Go Figure!

My man Fezbongo was good enough to take these shots for me so in turn you should go look at his tumblr, I'm hidden in there!
