The Defo-Real Series Conjures Up “Annabelle” With Fantastic And Frightful Results

X-plus (distributed by Star Ace Toys) keeps evolving its Defo-Real line of collectibles. Annabelle, the possessed doll first seen in The Conjuring films and then her own line of films, is the newest character to get the Defo-Real treatment!

The style of the Deformed/Realistic line compliments this creepy doll well. Standing 15 cm tall Anabelle, screams horror with her rendered face sculpt and body parts, while certain pieces on this figure use high-end polyresin to give it more of a ceramic doll look and feel. This is a departure from previous Defo-Real releases where soft vinyl makes up the bulk of the figures.

Although, there is no articulation at all on the new Annabelle figure, the use of authentic fabric dress and life-like hair more than make up for the lack of moving parts. Accessories include a rocking chair for Annabelle to sit in (to keep an eye on whatever foolish mortal invites her into their home), a strap to keep the figure in place, and a note scribbled on paper that reads “Miss Me?” and fits snugly into Annabelle’s right hand.

Everything is comes boxed in a closed art box packed with hard formed material. This is an improvement, as most of the Defo-Real figures get a flimsy, plastic clamshell to house them. Look for the suggested retail price to start at $104 USD.

X-plus (Star Ace Toys) has pulled off a great feat, making Annabelle even creepier than she is in the Conjuring films. Annabelle is up for preorder now at many fine online retailers. To learn more about upcoming Defo-Real releases check Star Ace Toys Ltd. on Facebook or their official website.

I've written for multiple websites on the art and collectible front. The horror bug that lives inside me is well cared for and has been going strong since I watched my first introduction to horror through a grainy VHS copy of John Carpenter's 1978 classic film Halloween.
