"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night." McFarlane Toys and Scott Cawthon teamed up to create a line of highly detailed construction sets for Five Nights at Freddy's. The first wave of toys will be available to purchase from major retailers this summer.
Press Release: Tempe, Ariz. – February 9, 2016 – Comic book icon and toy creator Todd McFarlane announced today that McFarlane Toys has teamed with video game maker Scott Cawthon to produce a line of highly collectible construction sets based on his runaway success, Five Nights at Freddy’s. The series has become a verified cultural phenomenon over the last two years allowing Cawthon to release three sequels. It’s been reported that there are over 2,000 daily installs of the mobile game. In part, a large part of the game’s success was due to influential YouTube stars recording their terrified reactions while playing the game. With all four Five Nights at Freddy’s games in the series firmly nestled into the top 100 paid app lists on mobile devices, the franchise has thus proven its longevity and consumer appeal.
The first wave of McFarlane’s upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s construction sets will depict intricately detailed buildable scenes at various price points. One of the first Construction Sets from McFarlane Toys will allow fans to build the iconic “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza” restaurant featured in the first game. The game’s main characters, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy will all appear as buildable and collectible mini-figures that straddle the line between adorable and absolutely horrifying.
“We’ve struck the perfect balance,” said Todd McFarlane, Owner and CEO of McFarlane Toys. “The mini figures for the Five Nights [at Freddy’s] sets are equal parts cute and creepy. The Five Nights at Freddy’s construction sets will be available at major retail locations beginning Summer 2016. Fans of both McFarlane Toys and Five Nights at Freddy’s can check www.mcfarlane.com and the McFarlane Toys social media channels for updates and news. The McFarlane Toys deal was brokered by Striker Entertainment, the licensing agency for Scottgames.
McFarlane Toys will display Friday Nights at Freddy’s at International New York Toy Fair 2016 booth 1041. Showroom is by appointment only.

It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
