One of this year's more popular Comic-Con exclusives was the Video Game Jason action figure from NECA. Horror fans have been hoping for a Video Game Freddy and NECA just announced that they will release a new Freddy Krueger figure based on the 1989 video game:

via NECA: "Freddy is the companion piece to the Friday the 13th Classic Video Game Jason, one of the hottest SDCC Exclusives this Summer. Released in 1989 for the super popular 8-Bit home console, the video game Nightmare on Elm Street is so bad… it’s good.

A cult classic if there ever was one, NECA’s Freddy Krueger (1989 Video Game Appearance) will be a fully articulated 7-inch figure done up in that truly horrifying video game deco. This figure comes in a special window box packaging with opening flap to re-create the look and feel of the classic 1989 video game packaging."

Video Game Freddy Krueger is due out in November. This is a limited edition release and there will be only one production run, so make sure to act fast once it's available for pre-order at online retailers. Video Game Jason is no longer available to purchase for its original retail price, but they are available o Ebay if you weren't able to get to Comic-Con.
