NECA announced new toys based on Henry Selick’s Coraline at San Diego Comic-Con, all of which are due out in the fourth quarter of the year.

Pictured above is a set of four PVC figurines – Coraline, her guardian cat, Wybie, and Other Mother – which stand between 1.25" and 5.5" tall.

Pictured below are 7" articulated Coraline figures, one in her striped shirt and one in her raincoat. They each feature a full inner armature and movable eyes, are dressed in real fabric clothing, and come with a display stand.

I love that there are going to be Coraline toys again. People have been asking for so long, and I’ve never had anything to tell them…

Coraline (the Laika adaptation) was originally gonna be a musical, and the songs were gonna be written by They Might Be Giants. They wrote a bunch of songs before it got changed (The Other Father song remained though). This is one song that they reacquired and released in one of their albums.

Coraline is a masterfully made film, an amazing piece of art that i would never ever ever show to a child oh my god are you kidding me

Nothing wrong with a good dose of sheer terror at a young age

“It was a story, I learned when people began to read it, that children experienced as an adventure, but which gave adults nightmares. It’s the strangest book I’ve written”

-Neil Gaiman on Coraline

This is a legit psychology phenomenon tho like there’s a stop motion version of Alice and Wonderland that adults find viscerally horrifying, but children think is nbd. It’s like in that ‘toy story’ period of development kids are all kind of high key convinced that their stuffed animals lead secret lives when they’re not looking and that they’re sleeping on top of a child-eating monster every night so they see a movie like Coraline and are just like “Ah, yes. A validation of my normal everyday worldview. Same thing happened to me last Tuesday night. I told mommy and she just smiled and nodded.”
