Up for sale is a vintage set of two (Standard and Variant Bloody Version) BRAND NEW mint on card 1998 Ultra Action Figures / Series 1 Movie Maniacs - FREDDY KRUEGER - distributed by McFarlane Toys, printed in Hong Kong, and made in China. Based on the 1984 supernatural slasher horror movie A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, these FREDDY KRUEGER action figures (as played by actor Robert England) are still in mint condition in their original packages, and have never been opened, resealed, or tampered with. Just check out the pictures, and look at the overall beauty that these awesome mint on card (MOC) 27 year old action figures are! The bright and artistic colors on both sides of these factory sealed packages are clear and bright, but there is a noticeable card wave and slight card "curling" on both of the left sides and bottom corners of each card back. The plastic windows (figure blisters) currently show a slight yellow/tinted color on the lower plastic shells of both figures, but both have NO price stickers, and NO signs of any plastic damage or window crushing of any kind. This is a MUST HAVE for those serious McFarlane Ultra Action Figures collectors that missed out on these figures back in 1998!
***** Collector's Note ***** The key difference between the standard and bloody variants of the 1998 McFarlane Movie Maniacs Series 1 Freddy Krueger figure is the paint application
. The figures are based on the same sculpt, but the bloody version features a heavier, more graphic paint scheme.
***** Bloody Variant: This figure is drenched in "blood" splatter across multiple parts of his body. The effect is hand-painted, so the amount and location of the blood can vary slightly from figure to figure. Look for blood on his bladed glove and fingers, his striped sweater, his fedora, his pants and boots. The paint is meant to give the impression of a recent kill.
***** Standard Version: Also referred to as the "clean" or "PG-13" version by fans, this figure has no blood splatter. It features only the standard paint job for his striped sweater, skin, glove, and fedora.
***** The distinction in paint makes the bloody variant a more sought-after and collectible item. This is because the "R-rated" effect made it a niche item for horror fans, and the hand-painted nature of the blood splatter means no two are exactly alike, adding to their unique appeal. For collectors, a factory-sealed bloody variant in good condition is typically more valuable than the standard version.
Considering the fact that these figures are getting harder and harder to find (***ESPECIALLY IN FACTORY SEALED CONDITION***) this would be an awesome McFarlane Toys / FREDDY KRUEGER action figure variant combo set that is a must have to serious toy hunters like you! Good luck to everyone who is interested, thanks for looking, and may all your collecting adventures be Blessed!
