NECA has released details on another of its 2012 SDCC exclusives, and fans of A Nightmare on Elm Street will want to pay close attention as it’s a B&W Comic Book Freddy as seen in The Dream Child!
Here’s how NECA describes it:
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 exclusive 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 fantasized 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-Exclusive 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 exclusives next week along with “a special announcement” so keep it here for more as it comes.
