YOOOO OP
Horror figure enthusiast right here.
If you want good articulated affordable horror figures, do what everyone else is saying and go with NECA.
Here's a list of what to look out for.
OUT NOW
>Ultimate Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy
>Ultimate Friday the 13th Part 6 Jason
(Head usually sits loose on the neck, but it isnt much a problem posing it
>Ultimate Leatherface
>Evil Dead 2 Henrietta
UNRELEASED
>New Nightmare Freddy/Demon Freddy
>Ash vs Evil Dead line
>Ultimate Friday the 13th Part 3 Jason
(Basically a rerelease of their previous ones combined into one figure. But be warned, every version of this mold commonly has loose hips)
>Ultimate Evil Dead 2 Ash
SIDE NOTES
-Pop Culture Shock Toys are releasing figures for American Werewolf in Londons, and The Thing (Pic related). From the pictures we've seen it looks like they're going back to the old days of horror figures, meaning the legs are static, no articulation. (I hope not, those are boring/odd choices to pre-pose those legs in)
-NECA also has a bunch of more obscure horror stuff in their retro/Mego throwback line, like Part 5 impostor Jason and Chop Top from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, so if you're into 8" figures with awkwardly baggy clothes look into that.
-There's a ton of more obscure characters that were made back in the day in McFarlenes movie maniacs, NECA's Cult Classics Line, and Amok Time's Monstars. Alotta them are outdated though, with slightly off sculpts and almost no articulation.
-NECA did release a awesome Part 4 Jason, but they will most likely release an Ultimate version of it like they did with Part 3, so I'd just wait for that instead of paying crazy aftermarket prices.
