Didn't see this information up any where here so I though I'd do it:
NOW PLAYING -COMING SOON!
July 30, 2004:
The Action Figures from the NOW PLAYING line originally came to life from the movie screen as either heroes, villains, creatures, monsters or madmen. NOW PLAYING Series # 1 will consist of action figures based on characters from the movies DARKMAN, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (both licensed from Universal Studios,) and THE TOXIC AVENGER (licensed from Troma Entertainment.) The figures will be available through retailers beginning in November 2004, with each one standing approximately 7 inches tall, and each coming with a character specific base. The manufacturers suggested retail price for each figure will be $ 12.99.
NOW PLAYING Series # 2 will include characters from JEEPERS CREEPERS 2, KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (both licensed from MGM,) and THE MUMMY RETURNS (licensed from Universal Studios.) Additional NOW PLAYING figures are due in 2005.
NOW PLAYING Series # 1-CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:
*DR. PEYTON WESTLAKE/”DARKMAN”
Dr. Peyton Westlake was a brilliant scientist working on a temporary synthetic skin to help burn victims. A confrontation with a greedy businessman and his gangsters leaves Westlake’s lab destroyed, his face horribly scarred, body burned and unable to feel pain. Using the synthetic skin to appear as almost anyone, Peyton exacts his revenge upon those who took his life from him. Because he is no longer Peyton Westlake…He has become Darkman.
*TOXIE/”THE TOXIC AVENGER”
Pity Melvin Junko! He’s the ultimate nerd-a 98 lb weakling abused by everyone he meets. But when punks chase Melvin into radioactive toxic waste, he is now longer just himself—he becomes the Toxic Avenger! Now Toxie’s fighting crime, reaping revenge on those who persecuted him and becoming a true hero… from New Jersey!
*NIGHTMARE DEMONS/”AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON”
Poor David Kessler. Not only is he dealing with his best friend’s savage murder on the moors of England and the fact that he might be a werewolf—he is also having strange and terrifying dreams. The worst involves the attack of his peaceful family by horrific, militaristic demons! The terrifying creatures ransack his home, kill his family members, set fire to his home, and then finally slit his throat! But for David, the nightmares simply do not end!
*NOW PLAYING Series 2 Descriptions:
-The Creeper ( Jeepers Creepers 2)
A bus of high school students has been disabled and people are being picked off one by one… by something that is not human. A creature that appears only every 23 years and then only for 23 days... when it gets to feed. Now with a taste for blood, the Creeper will not be denied what it wants the most-to feed on its final day!
-Killer Klown(Killer Klowns From Outer Space )
When a group of kids track a shooting star to where it lands, they encounter they strangest sight-a giant circus tent populated by clowns. But these are no ordinary clowns but aliens from another world! And they’ve come for us armed with evil shadow creatures, diabolical balloons and cocoons made of cotton candy! Now its kids of the town versus the Killer Klowns from Outer Space!
z

In 1933, Egyptian High Priest Imhotep has returned from the grave once more to be reunited with his love, Anck Su Namun.
