The Evil Dead: Dark Horse celebrates film’s anniversary with limited edition Ash statue

Earlier this month, NECA revealed the Ash Williams action figure that they have created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first screening of Sam Raimi’s classic feature debut The Evil Dead (watch it HERE). Now Dark Horse Direct has revealed that they have also created a special collectible to celebrate the anniversary of The Evil Dead: a 13 inch tall Ash Williams statue that shows our blood-splattered hero clutching an axe while standing on top of a cellar door that his possessed sister Cheryl is trying to push open. An image of this statue can be seen below, and several more pictures can be seen at DarkHorse.com.

Here are the details on this limited edition statue:

“You bastards! Why are you torturing me like this? Why?” – Ashley “Ash” J. Williams

Dark Horse Direct and Renaissance Pictures have teamed up and are proud to introduce one of horror’s most iconic characters, Ash, from The Evil Dead! Poised atop the cellar door keeping his beloved sister, Cheryl, at bay, Ash wields a trusty axe ready to fend off any oncoming deadites.

With Ash keeping his eyes peeled for danger, this statue stands at 13 inches tall to the tip of the axe, with a base measurement of 7.25 inches by 6 inches. Relive one of the most legendary horror films with this The Evil Dead: Ash Statue!

The original The Evil Dead has the following synopsis:

Ash (Bruce Campbell), his girlfriend Linda (Betsy Baker), his sister Cheryl (Ellen Sandweiss), and couple Scotty (Hal Delrich) and Shelly (Sarah York), drive to a remote cabin in the woods for a fun getaway. While there, they find the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (aka “The Book of the Dead”), an ancient tome whose text reawakens the dead when read out loud. After unintentionally releasing a flood of evil, the five friends must fight for their lives or become possessed.

Campbell played Ash in The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and three seasons of the Ash vs. Evil Dead television series. He has also voiced the character for multiple video games.
