Lame

I can safely say I am not a fan of the new look.

I don't really mind the new look, obviously it couldn't be the same. Do I like it as much as Englund's look, no. Not even close but I can really separate myself from the original look either.

The only real reaction I had from my first look was that it almost looks like a sick cat.

looks cool to me. when are they released?

my biggest problem is hes not creepy looking at all he kinda looks like a fish, they could have made him so much scarier pull up his lips and show some gum and messed up teeth, more of a charred look with some gore and wetness to make it look painful. this is just smooth and featureless nothing to seperate him from a burn unit case and thats not scary. hopefully they will keep him in the shadows the whole time so we can imangine whet he looks like.

i for one like the look. i think it does look like a real burn victim. a kid at my school looks like that, without the deformeties. but of ourse they couldnt use the same desiegn as the first like 6, because that wouldnt be a remake. that would be a sequel. i thought horror fans would stay optamistic, at least until the movie was realesed. guess i was wrong.

I actually really like the new look. It's not as scary looking as the Robert Englund Freddy but it's new and more authentic. Takes some getting used to after seeing the other Freddy for so many years but I'm just glad to have the character coming back to the big screen. It certainly beats the New Nightmare look though...

i kinda like it, im glade they went for a different direction, its not scary. and it seems freddy wont be smiling with those lips witch is a dissipointment, its scary when freddy smiles. anyways i think they couldve added more holes in bothe his cheeks like in the original movie. also i hope its not gonna be cgi, if it is, i dont know what to say. also i hope he has at least some wise cracks
, scary ones, like in the original when he cuts his fingers and laghs, or when he weres tina's face, that was very scary.

Jesus, that is a horrible design. Never cared about the remake Freddy and this certainly didn't make me gain any interest either. The Englund version is maybe not a hundred percent accurate to real burn disfigurement but at least it was creepy and menacing looking. This on the other hand just looks laughable.

ewwww, the new makeup sucks...

I don't see any extra rivets. Looks like Owen's glove to me.

If you can believe a burned child killer can comes back to life and kills in dreams....then the thought of making sure he looks like an actual burn victim is irrelevant. If you buy the concept....you should buy whatever they tell you he looks like.


Authentic...or not....I don't like it.

That... I DO agree with. He's a mystical character and exists in a world that's not bound by reality. I do prefer the original gory look but oh well. It's new. It's different. Bring it on. I'm more interested in Jackie's acting than how he looks. Maybe Robert's look mixed with his acting worked well and maybe Jackie's different take on the character will work well with his new look. We can only wait and see... but knowing how talented Jackie really is, I'm completely stoked to see what he does with this character. The 1 early review labels him as, "no nonsense, to the point, smarmy, ugly, repulsive and just plain vile." I'm looking foward to it.

I don't know about this one, but I think more burns are under the hat! Silver lining, I'll be 17 before it comes out.

$10.00 bucks says Casey is in the works to sculpting the first remake Freddy...

I really hope he is. He's gonna blow us away.

LETS SEE A NEW MASK CASEY!!!

i like that they made him look like a real burnt victem with the burnt lips and stuff.

People quite sugar coating it. It looks like shit, not scary at all. When you look at Robert's freddy it freaks you out immediately. I'm not going to judge the movie until I see it but the make-up is very bland.

ew..........kinda dull!!

VERY GAY...enough said.

Actually, Rob Zombie DID change the mask for the crappy re-make. It looks even worse (hard to believe) in his sequel; sort of like a ripped up terd. I hate the new Freddy look, as well as the new glove. They made him look like a damn turtle or something. Why do you have to have a guy who was burned to death, and then returns in your dreams look like an actual burn vic? NEWS FLASH: It's a fucking movie! Not reality.. I would have chosen cool and scary over accurate and lame, being as it is a horror movie and not a medical textbook. Freddy is an icon, and they changed everything about him: his glove, his face, his voice, even his sweater! (die-hard fans of the series will recall that the arms on the sweater in the original movie were solid red; no green stripes) Still, if they had to change him, the sweater is the least of my concerns. I also get that when they do a "reboot", they want to give it a fresh spin so you're not seeing the same old thing, but honestly, they changed Freddy quite a bit during the course of the Elm Street series. I didn't care an awful lot for the make-up in the original, to be honest. Part 2 looked much better, but it wasn't until number 3 (thanks to Kevin Yagher) that Freddy was given his trademark iconic look that most people think of when they think Freddy Krueger. (Ironically, Jason didn't pick up his famous hock until his 3rd F13 film) My point is this: even after that, the character continued to go through changes. He didn't look exactly the same in any 2 of the Elm Street films. Parts 3 and 4 were pretty close, but other than that, he pretty much had a different make-up design in each film, but it was still Freddy. They never went so far off the mark that he ceased to even look like the same character. But they have now. To me, this just looks like every drunken idiot who ever showed up at a costume party/contest dressed as "ghetto Freddy" ie; a decent stab at the look, but just couldn't afford (or didn't care enough) to really nail it home, if you catch my drift. They could have done much, much better at re-defining the make-up while still keeping the integrity of the classic Freddy intact. I will be boycotting this film. I've had quite enough of all this remake shit, and doing it to 'Nightmare' is simply the last straw. Also, the new "Freddy" sounds like Larry Flynt with a head cold. Sorry,not interested.

cheesey face it looks like you know what!!!!!!!

These people should be dragged out into the street and shot for defacing a national treasure.

just shameful

Look at it this way: You can prejudge the movie and the whole concept of remaking a NOES film and decide to hate it or you can accept the fact that Freddy has evolved as much as he has over the subsequent sequels and is simply continuing that evolution with this new entry and decide to give it a chance. It all comes down to the same thing: this movie is happening. Since you know damn well you're all going to see it eventually anyhow if you're any real fan of the franchise, why not give Jackie a fair shake? It might suck or it might be brilliant. Personally, I'd rather see a talented actor fill Rob's shoes and continue the story line then accept the fact that Freddy is no longer.

This is so bad. I'm glad they turned Freddy into a pathetic shadow of his former self that Betty White could take.

I shit on this remake.

Looks like a burned Michael Jackson

I love the new Freddy Krueger figures. The unburned version looks a bit like Jackie E Haley himself. I have bought the unburned one, but I'm also gonna buy the other one too. PS: I just looooooooove the new Nightmare movie. Keep up the good work JEH!!! :))

When you buy one of these, don't forget to pick other accessories that will make you look up to the latest style.
