Debbie from Nightmare on Elm Street

From the nightmare on Elm Street film series : The Dream Master. Poor Debbie Stevens (Brooke Theiss) just hates bugs, and Debbie doesn't play and will stand her ground~!
She is quickly dispatched by our odious Freddy as he reaches in her dreams and most mercilessly transforms our Debbie into a cockroach as she works out, our boy Freddy pushes down on the dumbbell causing Debbies elbows to literally break, the arms removed and the roach legs begin to sprout (We all can view some people as cockroaches) and with his twisted sense of humor, traps her in a roach motel and then crushes her before her friends can save her......
Again some of the masters from Mezco Toys have crafted us a masterful action figure collectible. From their Cinema of Fear series 2009 is its release date and a grand rendering of Debbie, with sets of normal arms, long roach arms and to just be quaint...the roach motel....long retired.....a must for those who love the macabre....

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-FREDDY KRUEGER MOVIE MANIACS

1. 
   

In 1984, Wes craven created and directed “a nightmare on elm street” which became a surprising commercial success, rave reviews and a cult following to this day~!

Please pardon the term “spawned” a successful line of sequels and highly detailed and sought after collectible action figures pioneered by Mcfarlane toys with their elite Movie Maniacs series that came out in the late 1980’s. These pinpoint detailed with lifelike hues action figures included none other than Freddy  Krueger himself a perfect rendering (played with rapt abandon by Robert Englund), one even has a Little Freddy” as an extra.

Happily armed with 4 long razor sharp blades embedded in the fingers of his gloved hand.

Freddy thirsts for revenge to be taken out on the children of the angry mob that burned poor Freddy alive.

Freddy does so by entering the dreams of his teenage victims, if Freddy kills them in their dreams, they then perish in the real waking world. And bit of film trivia, Johnny Depp was one of the victims in the original film.

Craven based his story  from the refugees of the Khmer Rouge genocide  in Cambodia. Many suffered from incredible disturbing nightmares after which, they refused to sleep-there appeared “sudden unexplained death syndrome” among the men. To add the finishing touch to his concept for the film upon hearing “Dream Weaver by Gary Wright, the concept was sealed~!

Ironically Craven was bullied at school by none other than Freddy Krueger hence the killers name was born into horror film history.

Freddy’s sweater was from the design of DC Comics character Plastic Man. Then colors used where from Craven reading  an article in Scientific America that those were the most clashing colors to the human retina.

And Freddy’s tale will continue…..

Beanie Babies Innovative and Addictive

It would be hard to imagine many that have not encountered or owned a ty beanie baby…that beanie baby craze put the thought in your head that there was a seriously addictive form of crack quite nefariously hidden with those pellets inside those cute little animals and unpretentiously releases itself as you squeeze the polyester forms and then you are hooked. Name your favorite animal, when first released there were nine soft little creatures…a bear, a frog, a lobster, a killer whale, a platypus, a pig, a dolphin, a moose and a dog. We were brought up on stuffed toys, which were generally pretty solid and thought used up when they became soft. These new styled animals we actually under stuffed, coining the nickname “beanies”. The result is truly toy history and a milestone~!!!~ Now with the stuffed animals now under stuffed, they have become floppy and therefore vulnerable, make a most comforting sound shifting pellets somehow convey that feeling. And a new cool twist, allowing them to be posed to a degree, posed as it were and all too hug-able~!~ The human behind the beanie babies H. Ty Warner, had been a salesman for the Well established Dankin company, a plush toy manufacturer for 18 years.. Ty’s first critters were Himalayan cats named Smokey and Peaches (there’s some serious collectibles) . Beanie Babies started in 1993, with under stuffed and named animals to add the name collectibles . Warner started retail price as “allowance money” As limited supplies and editions came around, a secondary market began on the internet and lives on today. And of course, the craze had camped out collectors, at the ready with their relentless shopping baskets or carts. There was a McDonalds Happy Meal campaign Teenie Beanie Babies” , and were offered for 4 years every spring. Ironically the creator of the cool critters was not one for interviews and kept people happy and his beanies at the forefront. You need to do some serious research on the Beanies character, colors, what was limited in production, make sure not knock-off and on and on… Truly a fad that still exists today and a part of toy history…betcha you take a peek at your beanies smiles aYJ-1edsa68/s320/Picture%2B002.jpg" width="320" /> 20" />
