It: Welcome to Derry<\/a> wrapped up its first season<\/a> earlier this week, and while horror hounds wait to hear whether HBO will make good on that \u201cChapter One\u201d end-title card and announce a \u201cChapter Two,\u201d NECA has revealed another figure from the show<\/a> to add to your Pennywise collection. Step right up, children: this clown is ready to feast on you and all your friends!<\/p>\n

As fans of the show well remember, the Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd-portrayed character was just about to slink into 27 years of slumber when the U.S. Air Force made the genius decision to leave a gaping hole in the cosmic \u201ccage\u201d that\u2019s been keeping him contained for centuries.<\/p>\n

Most of his body has already submerged into his hibernation muck\u2014but Pennywise\u2019s eyes snap open when he gets a whiff of freedom. His encore rampage through 1962 Derry features a gruesome makeover, since he\u2019s now stained a ruddy color from the cheeks down\u2014the collective blood and guts of his victims, presumably.<\/p>\n

The detail here is immaculate, and by that we mean repulsive (in the best way). Here are more looks at the figure:<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the twisted world of Stephen King and the HBO series\u00a0IT: Welcome to Derry, NECA unleashes Ultimate Blood Pennywise!,\u201d NECA\u2019s site, where you can pre-order the figure<\/a>, exclaims. \u201cThe nightmare-inducing Dancing Clown is back to terrorize Derry\u2014and your shelf\u2014as a fully articulated Ultimate action figure. Standing in 7-inch scale, Pennywise features gruesome, blood-soaked deco and interchangeable heads and hands. Comes in collector-friendly window box packaging with opening front flap.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course he comes with a balloon! All this is missing is another alternate head exposing Pennywise\u2019s many, many rows of teeth poised to strike, though we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if NECA is working on one of those.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll set you back $38 and is estimated to ship in the second quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n
