 Re: Freddy Krueger
I know everything about it, but refuse to answer any posts where someone uses "y'all." Just kidding of course, looks like a cool figure, what size is it? It is kind of interesting to me, as it is just straddling that middle ground between sofubi toy and realistic sculpt. Basically it's a great vinyl action figure - you can't go wrong. Even as a non- Friday the 13th fan, I think he is cool. Plus, that is a sweet removeable fedora.

It is a great toy, definitely more on the sofubi side of things which is why I like it. It's about 12'' tall so he has a great presence.

 Re: Freddy Krueger
My mistake guys, too many 80s franchises on the brain, one can slip out as another. I fully admit to my idiocy.

 Re: Freddy Krueger
I haven't seen one of those in years!
Seriously, late 80's early 90's? i think I used to see them in Hobby Japan ads all the time.

 Re: Freddy Krueger
I remember this being produced by Medicom too, came bagged with a backing card and header. I used to see these everywhere but come to think of it, recently a whole lotta zero. I might even have this in a box but it belongs to my wife.

 Re: Freddy Krueger
It's very well done. The stencil work on the sweater is really nice.

 Re: Freddy Krueger
as much as I love Freddy, I have never really cared much about getting a toy, until now.

 Re: Freddy Krueger
I think it is interesting to have "Not For Sale" written on the sole of his shoe... More information and pics here.

 Re: Freddy Krueger
^ Yes, maybe "Not For Sale" version was given away to promote the release of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in Japan...

 Re: Freddy Krueger
Could be! Very well done and forgotten toy. Am I just imagining, or did Imperial toy make a really jacked up rubber one?

 Re: Freddy Krueger
I'm suprised this went under the radar for so long around here. He was a medicom release but is still pretty easily available. I always wondered why he wasn't more sought after? Who doesnt love a burnt up pedophile with a removable fedora

 Re: Freddy Krueger
