News – NECA A Nightmare on Elm Street 7″ NES Video Game Freddy Krueger Action Figure

I know I mention it a lot, but man NECA just keeps getting cooler and cooler. To accompany their recent SDCC exclusive NES Jason Voorhees Friday the 13th figure, based on his look from the classic NES video game, NECA is now releasing a version of Freddy Krueger as he looked in his own NES video game from A Nightmare on Elm Street. It looks to be the exact same sculpt as the other classic Freddy Krueger figures NECA has already released, it will only be painted to match Freddy’s video game sprite in the video game.

Ask Mattel – Answers for August 8, 2013

Mattel Mattycollector Logo

darkknight asks: Will there still be Movie Masters figures made in the 6″ scale for future DC movies? The information revealed at SDCC has many fans worried that there will be no more 6″ Movie Masters figures at all, so it would be great if that could get cleared up. I hope there will continue to be 6″ Movie Masters.

At this time the future of the line is in the 4″ scale but it doesn’t mean we couldn’t return to 6″ in the future.

 

EctoCooler asks: On Mattycollector.com, it says fans have until November 5th to pre-order, but Toyguru recently posted an update about the Ecto-1 and the subscriptions and said August 19th was the deadline. Was this a typo, or has it been changed? Because that’s a mighty big typo if so. A lot of Ghostbusters fans are panicking because of it.
