A Better Look At The New Freddy Krueger

zz26dd04f0top

Ever since Platinum Dunes released a teaser image for their remake A Nightmare on Elm Street was released, horror fans have been trying to get a better glimpse of Jackie Earle Haley in the burn-victim make-up. The teaser trailer offered a bit more, as did some of the toys (although they were more cartoonish in appearance).

This new photo, released in a Figures.com interview with NECA’s Randy Falk, shows a highly detailed figure that NECA is producing in conjunction with the release of the new movie. While it is just a figure, it does give you a much better look at what we can expect from the new Freddy. Full image after the jump.

    That's not bad. I like the pants.
  • goobity
    Seriously?
  • it looks slightly retarded.
  • That is just AWFUL!
  • Gaius
    Looks pretty realistic to me.
  • dukeoffearl
    His face looks like a hamster.
  • Craigasorusrex
    Lord Voldemort anyone?
  • son_of_el_topo
    This looks fine to me. It's an action figure, I'm sure it will look a lot more menacing with Jackie Earle Haley snarling through the latex.
  • dukeoffearl
  • aleksivic
    He actually looks like the Beast from Beauty and the Beast... This is the comparison I made from the trailer:

    Yes! It did remind me of something else but couldn't really tell what...
  • Poland626
    WTF is with his face? Couldn't they just keep it the way it was?
  • That's an impressive figurine. I'll wait for a production photo.
  • Lover
    He looks like Bruce from keeping up with the kardashians
  • Hush
    He kinda looks like Robert Duvall
  • Thanks a lot for putting the image in the banner jerkface. I was kinda hopin' to be surprised by the look. Not that we wouldn't soon see it in posters, ads, cereals, etc...

    ... I retract my previous statement.
  • [A]
    Haha
  • Sean Russell
    Yawn.
  • monkeymafia
    Kinda reminds me of someone trying to do a DeNiro impression...
  • waqman
    Looks pretty funny...

    man this movie's gonna suck.
  • kfizz
    This is only concept the color does not seem final it seemed to have darker browns in it.
  • DB
    I bet Jackie Earl Haley will be the only real good part of the movie
  • [A]
    I doubt it.
  • presto117
    the face looks fine. it just looks like the figure itself is lacking some detail in the face. i always hated neca figures. some of them look great, but my Marcus Fenix's arm snapped as soon as i took him out of the packaging.
  • The_Kid
    It doesn't look that bad you guys. You're just upset that it doesn't look like the Englund version of Freddy. Get over it, Haley's gonna be awesome.
  • Slatters
    Actually I think it looks just as stupid as the Englund version.
  • svart aske
  • wow. dont tell me they were inspired by this...
  • Matt
    Freddy is a burn victim...that's what burn victims look like dude...
  • Lux
    After they heal... Freddy shouldn't look healed!!! The old one was better.
  • I dunno, I kinda like the original better...
  • moviefan
    Not a bad look, cant wait to see how this film shapes up compared to the originals.
  • Bill-C
    Meh. Who cares about authenticity? "Elm Street" is a horror movie, not an after-school special.
  • looks ok, better not have that stroke face in the movie
  • CRASHkennedy
    im all sorts of upset
  • jeffe
    lame. looks like an alien.
  • david
    if youve ever seen a burn victim then you would know in real life its not a pretty site. That being said this is just a toy representation of the character. Dont get all bent out of shape people. Movies are always trying to outdo the last hits so I have full confidence this one will give us all a sick feeling and ruin our sleep for weeks.
  • Han
    Uh have any of you seen burn victims? They look pretty close to this...

    I love how you're all conceptual designer aficionados.
  • Money_Talks
    Ugly and disturbing. Just the way it should be. I don't know if I'd call him a burn VICTIM though. Justifiably burned???
  • Meaney
    looks like a burn victim...wait a minute that's what Freddy is supposed to be, how dare the movie producers try to make something look a little bit authentic
  • Lux
    Again... Freddy shouldn't look like a healed burn victim. He should look like he just came out of the fire.
  • Meaney
    Freddy came back around 15 years after he was burnt to kill the kids so no he wouldn't have "just come out of the fire"
  • this is 2009 and this looks sh*t!

    Burn victims dont look like cheese pizza like the original Freddy.... Im sure the effects and movie magic edits will make Freddy look really awesome. Just like the remake of Halloween n Jason they tried to stay true the characters features.
  • elliot
    so i guess whoever designed the na'vi got a job on nightmare on elm street. stop putting cat people in your movies, hollywood!
  • Dokken
    Freddy should have pizza face. I mean, it looks like a burn victim, and ok, quite realistic and so on, but it doesn't look like Freddy. The pizza face is part of the character.
  • DRAY
    FUCK THATS HORRIBLE! They should never release this movie!
  • DRAY
    I would rather have this figure - http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/Freddy-Nightm...
  • Evilcritter
    I love Robert, and I love Jackie, and I love the makeup artists for both. Looking forward to this, and although I don't often buy figures, I'm gonna get this one and keep it by my bed.
