New Freddy Krueger Toys And One Not So New Freddy Krueger Pic!

They look like Bratz dolls.

Ha ha ha! It does look like a Freddy Bratz doll.

You know what would be funny? If Freddy Krueger instead of brutally murdering people, he molested kids to death. To me that's WAY more terrifying. Molesting doesn't imply anything violent unless violent preceeds it. Killing somebody via molestation is something that would takes days, months, or years to kill somebody.

@ FlashThompson Kind of like "Death by Chin" where someone is beaten to death by a number of people using only their chins. (stupid, I know, but it would take forever unless one of those people was Jay Leno or Bruce Campbell)

I never understood the mass appeal of this character. Back in the day kids would be lined up around the block to meet Freddy, a mass-murdering psychopath that specializes in dismembering children. Now we get a cuddly little psychopath for the preschoolers. Go figure.

As a proud owner of the Original A Nightmare On Elm Street Talking Freddy Kruger Doll (Never removed from the box), I'll definitely be purchasing one of these.

Can't wait for the new movie to see how it stacks up!

I don't think this merch will be aimed at kids, just adults who like to collect these things. Still, it does seem odd that they would make a doll, of all things, considering the market for Krueger will almost exclusively be adults.

Commercialism is right, Assassin. PG-13 is the perfect rating for bringing in the masses to a movie; it allows all the teens with disposable income (a huge audince) to see an 'edgy' movie, while making it 'edgy' enough to still capture the attention of adults who dont want to see anything too kid-friendly. I think thats why so many studios try to release PG-13 movies like Terminator-4. Still, I can understand Wolverine being 13, hes a comic book character. This means children, teens, and adults will want to see the movie so they have to find a rating to accomodate everyone without watering it down too much. I'd love to see blood spray with each claw strike too, but considering the mass appeal of the character, its not surprising they didnt want to make him too violent.

Yeah he molested, raped, and murdered kids. When it was released things were really touchy on what was acceptable and not acceptable to have in entertainment. He was supposed to be a horrible person somebody that Satan was to give new life to. A killer is horrible isn't as bad as a peder-ass child killer, that's REALLY terrible.

I'm diggin' how Freddy is looking realistically burned/deformed, although I thought he looked really creepy in "New Nightmare."

@Necro: In Freddy vs. Jason, it's implied that he is in fact a child molester. He's like a normal rapist/killer, but for children. In the movies he seems goofy and you wanna cheer for him, but deep down, he's one of the most effed up characters ever created in the things that he does.

looks like my mom

Jackie Earle Haley rocks!

I watched the trailer and I never knew Freddy's voice should have sounded like the Grinch
