RMaster007It's been a few years already since NECA put out their first Puppet Master figures. The two-packs they did, one with Blade and Torch and the other with Tunneler and Pinhead, were very well-made with specific accessories, but they just stopped after that. The drought seems to have ended now with two much-needed characters: Jester, who I assume is the puppets "leader," and Six-Shooter, who debuted in the third movie.
Starting with the one who came first, Jester is a rather devious-looking fellow, ready to find another victim. There's three sculpted lines running around the head, replicating how the parts of his head spun around to change his expression in the film. That feature was supposed to be here, but it got omitted; I guess it would've been too hard to implement given his small size....[

RMaster007There’s a lot of long-running horror film franchises; Halloween, Freddy, Jason, Chucky… but one of the lesser-known ones is Full Moon Features’ Puppet Master. The series about a gang of killer puppets has only seen direct-to-video releases, but it’s still gotten quite a couple films and a decent following. Full Moon themselves produced quite a bit of merchandise for the franchise already, but NECA’s taking a shot at it now. They announced their figures back in October last year, and now they’re beginning to hit comic shops and specialty retailers. I got Blade and Torch a while back, and it’s worth noting that these are two-packs (thankfully not $50 ones…).
The packaging is a bit unique to this line, and a main reason for that is because they’re two packs. So how could NECA fit two...[
