NECA Reveals The 2012 SDCC Exclusive B&W 'Comic Book' Freddy As Seen In The Dream Child
NECA absolutely floored us with their current Nightmare on Elm Street line which consts of 5 highly detailed, movie accurate figures of Freddy Krueger, each chronicling a different chapter from the films franchise. And now for those of you who are going to be attending this years upcoming Comic Con in San Diego, conder yourselves very lucky as you will be among the select few who will soon be able to add to the line with 3 brand new excluves. Read on for all the details on this sure-fire sell out!
There’s never been a better argument in favor of insomnia than A Nightmare on Elm Street, and for the latest in our series of San Diego Comic-Con excluve items, we've got the Gloved One himself, Freddy Krueger, as he appeared in the fifth installment of the franchise, The Dream Child. The movie, which came out in 1989, has a cult within the cult of the larger series, and — what really matters — it features some of Freddy’s best kills ever.
Best of all might be Mark Gray. A comic book geek before it was cool to be a comic book geek, Mark fantazed about getting the girl, being the hero, etc. So what did Freddy do? Well, Freddy sucked him into a comic book world, to live out his worst nightmare, of course! He is the dream master, after all.
Mark — brave and hopeless soul that he was — fought back by turning himself into his own superhero, The Phantom Prowler, and blowing Freddy to tiny little bits. *Spoiler alert*: It didn’t work; Freddy came back to life, turned Mark into paper, and sliced him to shreds with his always-terrifying glove.
The Gory Details: To honor Mark’s efforts and to honor the series as we always do, we’ve included an actual foldable, sliceable paper recreation of Mark Gray with this grayscale 7″ Freddy action figure, which captures the look of that death scene and the comic book world. What could be more perfect for SDCC than a superhero-destroying Freddy Krueger? Well, we don’t really know. That’s kind of why we made it.
Con-Excluve B&W Comic Book Freddy also comes with a skateboard and his trademark hat, which he just wouldn’t be Freddy without. Faster than a bastard maniac! More powerful than a loco-madman! It’s… Super Freddy! — Freddy Krueger.
NECA promises two more excluves next week along with "a special announcement" so keep it here for more as it comes.
