5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Freddy in this scale, May 10, 2006
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
As a huge Freddy fan I was really looking forward to this figure. Especially since NECA did such a great job on the Freddy in the FvJ boxed set. They made Freddy look more evil and sinister in Wes Craven's New Nightmare, and NECA translates it well here. The black coat he's wearing is well detailed, but the green and red striped lining shows a little bleeding on my figure, as well as a little bit on the sweater. They also went with a leather looking coat and pants, which isn't really movie accurate, but doesn't bother me too much Those are about the only bad things I can say about this figure though.
The sculpting is top notch all around. His new bio-mechanical claw hand really impressed me (though it's missing the veins that connected to the "bones"), and looks a lot better than the claw done on Sideshow's NN Freddy. The "less snarled" head is definitely the best head of the two that he comes with. It looks incredibly like Freddy with the NN burn style, and the eyes are perfect. Probably one of the best head sculpts I've seen. The more snarled looking one has some problems with the paint application in the eyes, and looks a little weird because of it. It's a shame they didn't have the demon head that they're working on for the 18 inch version. That would have been great. Ah well, just another excuse for me to get the 18 inch.
The base is one of the best ones I've seen. It has a very nicely sculpted pillar on it (handy for hanging Freddy's hat on when he's not wearing it), and some nasty looking eels slithering around on the ground. The eels really add a lot to the look of the figure, since Freddy often likes working eels into peoples' nightmares for some reason.
As far as accessories go, Freddy does pretty well. The extra head isn't that great, as I mentioned above, but the script that he comes with is really nice. It has tiny printing that you can actually read. He also comes with his green hat, but unfortunately it doesn't fit on his heads as well as the FvJ Freddy's did. Which doesn't bother me too much, since I think NN Freddys look best without hats.
Overall, this is the best Freddy I've seen in this scale. It'd be nice if there was a coatless variant, since Freddy did appear without the coat in the movie a couple times. I really hope NECA gets around to making a Freddy from the original Nightmare on Elm Street, my personal favorite. I need a stripeless sleaved Freddy!
