About this deal

Originally it was going to be mostly unseen in the movie (like Jaws), but Rick Baker did such an amazing job on the animatronic that John Landis made it front and center (like Jaws 4). We only replace items if they are defective or damaged (Not including Sensitive or LED/Electronic Products). It’s my favorite of the masks used in this sequence, but surprisingly my least favorite of these heads. I’m not sure if that’s really the case, but this one looks like a werewolf with his face melting off. This Ultimate incarnation of evil includes 4 interchangeable heads, 3 firearms, 2 knives, torch, and more.

For me personally, it was that canid stance that's always been a turnoff - I likes my werewolves a little more " were" and a little less " wolf," yeah?Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Bringing more horror to their Ultimate line, NECA presents the first figure from An American Werewolf in London! the United Kingdom has a long tradition of sinister, mythical, giant dogs - pretty much every culture that's ever lived on the British Isles has had its own take on the hellhound, for instance - so making this lycanthrope more closely resemble those tales makes it feel appropriately localized. So, I think this sequence was supposed to represent the struggle David was having as the werewolf curse was overtaking him.

Again, I kind of always saw this as a dude in the very first stage of changing to werewolf, but it may just be intended as a scary monster head. As David heals in the hospital, he's plagued by violent nightmares of his mutilated friend, who warns David that he is becoming a werewolf.The Nightmare Demons appear in main character David’s dreams in one of the film’s most bloodcurdling scenes. And finally, the Mac-11, another pretty iconic go-to gun for 80s films and a design that I’ve never been a big fan of. Never before made as an action figure, Kessler’s wolf form is more than 11 inches at its full length and has over 30 points of articulation. Yesterday I had a look at The Wolfman from NECA’s Universal Monsters series and today we’re going to fast forward exactly forty years ahead to 1981 and John Landis’ amazing comedy-horror An American Werewolf in London. The figure itself sports what looks like WW2 era military fatigues, including a pocketed tunic, high boots, gloves, and a belt and shoulder strap.
