Happy Monday, everyone! We kick off this week with a brand new installment of Daily Dead’s 2020 Holiday Gift Guide that’s focused on toys and collectibles for horror fans out there who are still kids at heart. Here’s a look at some of 2020’s releases from NECA, Mezco, MEGO, as well as some excellent gift ideas from Mondo, Trick or Treat Studios, Tales from the Stitch, and more.
Cheers!
I absolutely love Tales from the Stitch’s yarn babies, so much so that I made sure to include her in our Artist Profiles series last month leading up to this year's HGG (you can read that piece HERE). But her creations are absolutely adorable and highly creative and I cannot recommend them enough (I had her make an 8-bit Jason for my other half last Christmas, and he was a BIG hit). Here’s a look at some of her yarn babies that are currently available to “adopt”:
