Welcome to AFJ's 31 Days of Horror Figures. For the month of October, we will be spotlighting the very best of the macabre, bizarre, monstrous, and villainous action figures the industry has to offer. There will be both old and new figures here and perhaps even a significance to why we picked that figure for that day (and perhaps not). This is NOT a ranking list, just full blown horror fun for the greatest month of the year. #AFJ4LIFE
Since today is Winona Ryder's birthday, we thought we would pay tribute to her one time beau, the ghost with the most, Beetlejuice. First up, how does Winona Ryder not have an action figure? Either from Stranger Things or from Beetlejuice? McFarlane Toys and NECA need to get on that.
Okay, now onto NECA's Beetlejuice release. This particular release holds a special place for me as it was one of the first figures I ever saw at my first Toy Fair. The whole NECA booth and every time since then has been a treat to marvel at their releases and their displays. As for this Beetlejuice, there was a repackaging re-release, as well as one with him in his wedding outfit (all seen below). Whichever one you can acquire, never hesitate to purchase him, he is a quintessential horror action figure. As well as a cultural icon.
See the film's trailer below and check out AFJ's full list of figures as it evolves HERE.
