  "account": "Thrilljoy has unveiled a new line of vinyl toys for the HBO series IT: Welcome to Derry, featuring the iconic killer clowns Pennywise and Periwinkle. Fans can now get an exclusive look at these cutesy yet eerie figures through a slideshow gallery. The collection includes three figures, one standard version and two limited chase variants.\n\nThe hero edition showcases a classic rendition of Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise the Dancing Clown, with a production run limited to 9,999 units worldwide. The two chase figures are particularly intriguing. The first is a 1:6 variant depicting Madeleine Stowe's Periwinkle costume, while the second is a very rare variant of Pennywise drenched in blood, with only 96 pieces available. Each figure stands at slightly under 5 inches in height and retails for $20.\n\nPreorders for these unique figures will open on the Thrilljoy website on August 28 at 8am PT. IT: Welcome to Derry, based on the popular Stephen King novel, recently received a second season renewal on HBO. Fans are already speculating about the potential directions the series could take in its upcoming episodes. IGN's Jesse, a staff writer for the platform, encourages readers to follow him on BlueSky for more insights and updates.",
