As fans of the show well remember, the character portrayed by Bill Skarsgård was about to sink into a 27-year-old slumber when the US Air Force made the brilliant decision to leave a huge hole in the cosmic “cage” that had been enclosing him for centuries.
Most of his body is already covered in his hibernation filth – but Pennywise’s eyes open wide as he senses freedom. His repeated rampage through Derry in 1962 is characterized by a macabre transformation, as he now has a ruddy stain running down his cheeks – presumably the collective blood and guts of his victims.
The detail here is immaculate, and it means repulsive (in the best way). Here’s a more look at the picture:
“From the twisted world of Stephen King and the HBO series IT: Welcome to DerryNECA LAUNCHES THE ULTIMATE BLOOD PENNYWISE!” NECA’s site, where you can pre-order this figure, screams. ”The nightmare-inducing Dancing Clown is back to terrorize Derry and your shelves in the form of a fully articulated Ultimate action figure. Standing in 7-inch scale, Pennywise features terrifying, blood-soaked deco and interchangeable head and hands. Comes in collector-friendly window box packaging with opening front flap.
Of course he comes with a balloon! All that’s missing is another alternate head exposing Pennywise’s many, many rows of teeth, ready to attack, though we wouldn’t be surprised if NECA is working on one of those.
That’ll set you back $38 and is estimated to ship in Q2 2026.
