If you need some more Freddy in your life, NECA (National Entertainment Collectibles Association) has released some images of their new Krueger toy, and he’s a mean, mean man. What’s cool is that you get both nightmare Freddy and pre-immolation Fred Krueger, complete with rake. (Small frightened child not included – I don’t think. Boy that’s creepy!)
Here are some details, followed by pics (via Figures.com):
– Both figures are packaged in the standard rectangular clamshell packaging that has become a standard with NECA. The package is surrounded by different images from the new film and features a miniature version of the first teaser poster on the front side of the package insert.
– Freddy’s sweater is finely detailed and has a realistic fabric texture which makes it look as if it were made of cotton rather than plastic. The fedora is made of flexible rubber and can be placed on Freddy’s head in many different ways. The new bladed glove is highly detailed and does not look bad for such a particularly small piece.
– Both Fred and Freddy Krueger feature the same amount of articulation, which consists of a ball-socket head, shoulders, wrists, elbows, waist and ankles. Although the legs have absolutely no articulation whatsoever, the rest of the body offers a vast range of motion that lets you pose the figure in several great poses.
– These figures do not include many accessories as none are truly needed for this particular character, however, the Fred Krueger figure does include an addition hand holding a mini steel rake. This additional accessory is particularly interesting as it seems to be the weapon that Fred initially uses to commit his murders before he decides to construct his knifed glove.
The figures will be released in April, no doubt in anticipation of the film’s APRIL 30th date.
