NECA has gone and introduced a line of cartoon stylized versions of many great horror icons. It was something unexpected, and so far looks great with the first wave releasing soon! A second wave was revealed at SDCC, and I'm not sure the momentum of this line will stop soon. Lots of great characters have already been covered, but here are a few more I'd like to see given this toony treatment soon.

5. Ash Williams
This chainsaw for a hand hero isn't scary himself, but he comes from a very popular line of horror franchise pieces and NECA has been steadily giving him more and more figures over the years. The company is no stranger to this already cartoon-like character, so why not go ahead and give him the jump to the toon line.

4. Alternate versions of characters
Horror characters aren't shy about showing up in new duds with each consecutive movie, and different looks could inspire different figures in this line. Jason in particular has changed up his look many times, very drastically in some cases, while Michael Myers and Leatherface have done so to lesser degrees. Padding the line with the same characters in different outfits would be a good way of pleasing fans of certain characters and this style.

3. Gremlins/Mogwai
The Gremlins have made a huge resurgence from NECA this year, and I cannot get enough of the little green monsters. NECA has shown us that smaller characters will be done in this line with Chucky, so there's no reason for the Gremlins to not make an appearance in this line. The Mogwai would be a fun addition as well, and they would fit the style very well with their huge eyes and cute design.

2. Alien
One of the most popular and major horror creatures not to appear in the first two waves of the line was the alien, the Xenomorph, and I'm hoping that it will join the others soon. It is a very unique, very compelling alien design and comes from movies where it is portrayed as a devastating force of horror and destruction. This slot also pairs very well with my first slot.

1. Predator
Along with the alien, the predator is an iconic, recognizable design in the horror world. This creature has had several movies and stands among other horror denizens as the most remembered ones. This cartoon line dedicated to horror monsters has a sore spot open until they get to doing this scary, persistent horror creature.
