02 Freddy Krueger

A Nightmare on Elm Street; Freddy Krueger






 

A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 
1984 slasher movie. The film went on to create a successful horror franchise, including novels, more movies, television series, comics and computer games. 
Set in the American town of Springwood.






Freddy Krueger was suspected of murdering children by the people of Springwood. They formed a mob and burned him alive. Freddy came back from the dead for revenge. He kills the townsfolk's children in there nightmares, but is capable of existing in the real world.


Freddy Krueger is the 2nd in the Movies line of Funko pop figures for adults.


This is written on the back of this figure's box as well. I find it odd... Surely Freddy will "horrify me", Freddy will "give me nightmares". But Dazzle me? What is is going to do, put on a song and dance routine? Actually that could be cool.



 Freddy is unmistakable, his Funko pop figure is obviously Freddy from A Nightmare on Elm Street.

 He wears his signature striped long sleeve top.




On his head is his dashingly fashionable hat.



His terrifying knife glove adorns his hand, and functions as his go to weapon.




 Freddys skin is well detailed and reminiscent of the character.



For size comparison we have Bicycle Girl from The Walking Dead on the left and Leonidas also from the Movies line on the right.


 
Poor Freddy travels America looking for a place to call home, and create his deadly nightmares.
