Freddy Krueger Premium Format Figure

Latest statue to join my collection is Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise. Sporting his trademark green and red sweater, fedora hat and metal-clawed glove, the highly detailed and beautifully sculpted statue weighs 6.5 pounds while measuring 21 inches tall (1:4 scale). Freddy stands on a light-up boiler room base. I was able to pre-order early enough for the exclusive version which comes with interchangeable hands holding either skull or child's doll in addition to an art print. The hand with his metal clawed glove can be changed to be displayed either palm down by his side or palm up. My preference is child's doll with gloved hand palm up. Creepy!

Jason Voorhees Friday the 13th Part 3 Premium Format Figure

The first statue I ordered from Sideshow Collectibles is the legendary Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th franchise. Initially, I had no plans to simultaneously purchase statues alongside the 1:6 scale figures I already had committed myself to. Having grown up a fan of horror movies, I remember having my bedroom walls covered with movie posters and Fangoria magazine covers of my favorite horror movies. So when I saw this statue on Sideshow's site, I just couldn't resist. Since then, I've ordered the Freddy Krueger statue which arrives shortly. I would love it if they were able to get the rights to make a Michael Myers statue.

At 23" tall, the Jason Voorhees statue towers over my other statues yet only weighs 10 pounds. Very nicely detailed from the veins on his deformed head down to his axe and pose.
