Horror followers have a fairly good thought of what to anticipate from Pennywise the Clown. The Stephen King creation takes many types, however he exists to encourage terror in his victims earlier than demolishing them, and his handiest and recognizable guise includes a frilly costume, glowing eyes, and a mouth filled with manner too many razor-sharp tooth.
That’s why this new NECA determine tied to HBO’s upcoming prequel series It: Welcome to Derry is so disconcerting. This isn’t the Pennywise we’re used to working into within the sewers!
First, and most startlingly, the determine exhibits a human countenance beneath the clown wig. And the face beneath that receding hairline is… surprisingly gentle-looking?
As NECA’s web site studies, that is the It: Welcome to Derry “Final Bob Grey as Pennywise” seven-inch scale motion determine. Should you’re extra of an off-the-cuff It fan, “Bob Grey” might not ring any bells, however diehards will know the identify. And it appears, a minimum of in response to NECA, we’ll be assembly him within the flesh in HBO’s new collection:
“Earlier than Pennywise was a demonic clown, he was Bob Grey, a circus performer taking part in a clown onstage. Based mostly on the present’s flashback scenes, this 7-inch scale determine contains a number of interchangeable heads and arms, stage props, flowers, picket beaver, wig, and wig stand.”
We did know that Welcome to Derry can be tapping into flashbacks to set the scene in Derry, circa 1962, however attending to see Pennywise the Clown earlier than he grew to become entwined with an entity of evil seems like a reasonably large reveal. And that’s not all; the determine contains clown faces that make one among horror’s biggest villains seem alternately light, unhappy, and glad.
Right here’s all of the equipment the “Final Bob Grey as Pennywise” comes with. A clown will not be a clown with out his sidekick picket beaver, in any case.

Need a Bob Grey of your individual to remind you that even child-chomping monsters may not have been such baddies to start with? You’ll be able to preorder now ($38, ships in 2026) at NECA’s website.
How huge of a spoiler for Welcome to Derry this collectible is stays to be seen, however Pennywise himself—performed within the present by the returning Invoice Skarsgård—has barely been glimpsed in any of its official advertising and marketing up to now.
Should you desire your Pennywise as a bloody beast, NECA has you coated with a much more ghoulish 7″ model obtainable for pre-order here. Much less gory but in addition manner greater at 18″ tall is this tackle the balloon-bearing menace.
It: Welcome to Derry premieres October 26 on HBO. Will Bob Grey flip up together with his beaver and wig stand? NECA appears fairly certain.
