Here's A Pic Of Platinum Dunes' Freddy (Sorta!!)

Merrick here...
Figures.com has an interview with NECA's Head of Product Development, Randy Falk about upcoming product the company is developing. The article features an image of NECA's Freddy Krueger figure from Platinum Dunes' forthcoming remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. While not an actual photo of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy, this image gives us one of our first (if not the first) clear look at how the character will appear this time around. And, as teasers have already hinted, it's quite similar (in appearance, at least) to Robert Englund's Freddy. Click the pic to jump to the article, which features more details about what NECA is up to (figs from Louis Leterrier's CLASH OF THE TITANS!) as well as a larger image of Freddy. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is scheduled for release April 30, 2010. The Powers That Be may wanna consider changing that "Don't fall asleep" tagline. Might send the wrong message.
