    This is new the face of terror? Collider recently posted this picture on their site so fans of the upcoming Nightmare on Elm Street remake could finally get a good, hard look at the man who will haunt their nightmares, Fred Krueger, through a upcoming action figure by NECA Toys.

     The first action figure of the redesigned Freddy Krueger from the upcoming remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street has come online and it proves what we’ve already heard on numerous occasions: the new Krueger (played by Jackie Earle Haley) looks like a real burn victim.

    Incredibly true, he looks like a burn victim, but does he look scary? Let's do a face-to-face comparison: The New Nightmare's version of Freddy compared to this version.

    I'll be honest, I want to buy the guy on the right a hot meal, and make sure he has shelter for the night. The guy on the left looks like he's going to eat my face. 
    The Nightmare on Elm Street slashes into theaters April 30th, 2010. And all joking aside, I, for one, am pretty pumped for the movie.
    Now, which one do you think is scarier?

    Definitely the left one if you ask me. The other one has this nice trick with the mismatched eyes but still he isn't so scary.

    It's just an action figure. He looked pretty scary in the trailers.

    Englund's Freddy looks way scarier but Haley's does look like a real burn victim and that is what Freddy is. I hope they keep a serious tone to this one and not make it so campy like the originals...

    @The WeatherMan: Very true, but I didn't think the new trailers were that great. I am excited just to see the backstory for him retold though.

    The end of no. 1 killed it for me... The Freddy Mobile... If they would have kept that out of the film, it would have been 100% amazing... from what I remember.

    Freddy on a skateboard.....seriously...how is that supposed to be scary also when they set that trap for him and the sledge hammer falls and hits him. I pissed myself because it was so funny.

    In the trailers his face wasn't showing any emotion, he just was staring at the girl in the end. I'm sure when he gets mad, when his facial lines change and twitch he would look the part. I wish his voice would be different though, it didn't sound menacing enough to me.

    Agreed. When I heard him talk all I could think was, "Hey! Rorschach!"

    It's nice to see that instead of reinventing the character they decided to make him almost identical.

    The Freddy on the left looks scary as hell. The one on the right looks well,.......dare I say it, "special". I don't see the malice in his face. He looks more sympathetic.

    I prefer the old looking Freddy Krueger. Why doesn't Michael Bay just use the old Freddy mask as a template and make a mask that can fit Jackie Earle Haley's head? It'd look better.

    Of course the original Freddy is alot more scarier than this version. I can't say that I like it , but I can't say that I don't hate it either. It's just hard for me to see someone else take the Freddy role. It's like seeing someone else replacing Harrison Ford as Indy.

    Although in the original movie Freddy looks scarier... I would have say that this is a more realistic feel to it, and I like that better.. Because First: A burn victim usally looks something like this if they had been burned on the face Second: He looks feaky, but not that scary. And the reason I like that is because just like a person theres some freaky ones, but nobodies just going to run away unless they are going to be harmed by them.... Third: It leaves more room for other emotions instead of just appearing scary all the time... It's freakier not knowing what they're going to do to you than always knowing just by looking at your face....    This kid is a real burn victim and I'd say that this creeps me out, but I'm not going run away from them unless this little boy has blades for fingers and is trying to use them on me... Just think about it... It adds more of a realistic factor that's what I like about it... 
     
    Sorry if this image is a little to graphic for some people I just wanted to get my point across.. lol sorry. 
     
     
    (I'm not a big Freddy Krueger fan though.. So just putting that out there...)

    @Jay-Man: When I see a burn victim, I am not freaked out or scared. I feel bad for them, like the boy above. Maybe that's something they'll play up on in the film, I hope.

    The realism of it is what makes it scary, just look at his creepy face. 
     
    Definitely the new version over the old.

    I think it looks horrible... The one on the left has a look of malice something that would impose fear. The one on the right although looks similar I don't get that feeling

                 It would be awsome and so wrong if they made Freddy sympathetic, it would be like a "sympathy for the Devil" kind of thing.

    The original Freddy didn't look like a burn victim but one where a dude had a couple chunks of his face taken off. The new Freddy actually looks like a burn victim. Let's also keep in mind, THIS new Freddy is an actual pedophile. The original films didn't go that deep into that fact. Fred Krueger liked children...NOT teens.
