It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Especially if you’re a fan ofHome Alone. 20th Century Fox has revealed a huge lineup of new merchandise inspired by the holiday classic that will be hitting shelves at various retailers, both online and in physical locations, this holiday season. Be it for fans of toys, apparel,collectiblesor board games, Fox covered all of the bases this year.
First up is a new board game from Big G Creative, simply titledHome AloneGame. The game will be available exclusively at Target. Players can choose to try and team up with the Wet Bandits to try and loot the McAllister’s house, or to be Kevin and attempt to stop them. Also available exclusively in Target stores will be three items fromFunko, including a Kevin Pop! Figure and beanie bundle, which retails for $24.99. Target will also haveHome AloneSocks for $6.00 and a Home Alone fleece blanket for $19.99, depicting Kevin’s battle plan for the Wet Bandits.
Another item of note comes from NECA, which is a bobblehead for the character of Gus Polinski, played by the late, greatJohn Candy. This is significant because Candy has rarely had his likeness featured on a toy before. There is a rareSpaceballsset with Barf and Lone Starr, for example, but it’s certainly not common. The figure will be made available from the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame & Museum and retails for $29.99.
For those looking for something else to wear, Fox has cooked up some Little Nero’s delivery driver apparel. Items include a Little Nero’s Pizza Satin Jacket which drops soon at Chalk-Line.com and goes for $130. There’s also a Little Nero’s Pizza Hat for $35.00 on their site. ThinkGeek will have a Little Nero’s tee for $19.99 and a Little Nero’s Hoodie for $49.99. Other items include aHome AloneChristmas sweater from FYE for $49.99, a Kevin’s battle plan tee for $19.99 at GameStop, a “Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal” shirt at Hot Topic for $28.90 and a different Filthy Animal T-Shirt from BoxLunch for $28.90. Last, but certainly not least, fans can experience the Christopher Columbus classic in a new way withHome Alone: The Classic Illustrated Storybook, which retails $18.95.
Macaulay Culkincreated a truly iconic character with Kevin McAllister and that helpedHome Alonebecome a Christmas classic for the ages. It also spawned a very successful franchise, as the three movies have grossed a combined $914 million at the global box office. With Disney on their way to completing their merger With Fox by early next year, who knows what will happen. Maybe they will try their hands at a reboot? For now, these new items will have to do.
