The exclusive is actually up for 2nd Chance - the item is the finger blade which was a precursor to his bladed glove.

The Englund sculpt on this figure is spot on, you won;t be dissappointed. If you're game, you should cut that stupid fringe on the sweater down a tad. It looks even better. Oh, and leave the hat off. It scratches at his forehead.

no, my seller is in the USA... i wasnt sure at first because the listing doesnt say anything about it being the exclusive... only that there was only 750 of them. so i kept looking at the pics of it and then asked for the link here. for what he was asking i would've bought the regular version anyways, but the exclusive is cool for me. congrats guys.
there's one left here's the link:

That's the same guy! I got number 2 this morning.
I sent him a message yesterday asking to confirm if it was the exclusive and how much the shippig would be to the UK.
I had no reply but the shipping was added automaticaly and was $20. I'm also 99.9% sure it is the exclusive as you can see the one finger blade on him and the normal glove to the side. As well as him stating it's limited to 750
As for the New Nightmare Freddy - I've still not seen this film and don't really like the look.
But I'm tempted with the JvF Freddy! :chew

lol thats funny!!! im not a big fan of the new nightmare freddy either, but he's selling rather cheap so i might as well get him now to complete the collection. the freddy vs. jason version is pretty darn cool in my book. i like the demon look a lot and with the matching jason its a classic matchup!!!

The New Nightmare Freddy is a fantastic sculpt. I'd totally recommend getting him...
He's one of my favourites.

Since the opportunity to gloat basically never arises for me - allow me to say I won the exclusive 12" Robert Englund in a Sideshow chat a year or two ago. :chew At the time I think it was the first thing I ever won. Anyway, it is a great figure to say the least. :)
Yay Sideshow!

Anyone who gets the New Nightmare figure should keep in mind that the eyes are screwed up in production. There are no irises. Basically, it'sa just a couple of black dots looking off to the side. Fortunately, I know a guy who does some paintwork on weekends.....:D

I think he had a good % feedback. So we should be okay. If not, I'll hunt him down! :emperor
I've also got my Classic Freddy and Leatherface coming from eBay USA. I won these before this one!
I hope to have them all for the weekend or early next week.

I'll let you know... fingers crossed it will come this morning... along with my other eBay figures! :rolleyes:

One thing that may work is subbing hands from another caucasian SSC figure if Freddy's are too pale. I did this with my Brosnan GoldenEye figure. When I rolled up the sleeves to be film-accurate, those godawful tanned mitts of his were too much of a contrast, so I attached my unused hands from Luke Skywalker.
Seth Gecko
12-06-2006, 07:29 PM
Yes,that would be a simple fix but to tell the truth it don't bother me at all.(It's my first non SW SSC and i like it a lot:D

Boy do i feel dumb,i didn't even notice till you said something.You can move them just about however you want it looks like...COOL!!:o :o :o (you bend them about mid-finger or so)

The glove's articulation is basically move the fingers back a bit and thats about all. Its far better then no articulation at all of course.

Hmmm...not quite what I was hoping for, but I'm sure I'll be able to work out some cool poses with it. Sometimes, it's the subtlest of changes that look best.
Either way, I'll likely find out today (tomorrow at the latest) when my Englund exclusive gets here from Razor's Edge.

Yeah, so the finger articulation on the glove kinda sucks, and those hands are pale as can be (thankfully I was able to swap it out with an extra Anakin Skywalker hand)...
BUT...
this figure ROCKS!!!!
The sculpt is dead on for Robert Englund and exudes just the right amount of perverted demonic sleaze. The pleather jacket is well-tailored and fits well. The sweater is also very cool...although I did trim the excessive fringes. I love this figure.
Now, I find myself wanting to track down an FvJ Voorhees to go along with it. Amazing...11,000 regular edition, and I can't find a single one for retail price!!! Aaarrgghhh!!!!!!

Here's the pose I settled on for my Robert Englund "Springwood Slasher" (although the top finger blade fell out of pose before I snapped the pic...right now all four blades are in a fan arrangement)...

Is the regular addition of the FvJ Jason really that hard to come by? I only ask because I got mine back in June in a group auction off of Ebay. I won FvJ Jason, FvJ Freddy, and re-make Leatherface for 40 bucks shipped. All were mib (the boxes were damaged but I display loose so it wasn't a problem). And I remember the going rate at that time was 30 to 40 bucks for just the Jason MIMB. Now, the Teddy Bear version was high ... but not the regular. Hmm.. why the sudden influx in price?

It took me going through almost a dozen on-line retailers before I found an FvJ Voorhees regular edition for $45.00. Before that, it was either sold out or near $100. The teddy bear exclusive...yeah, that's extremely expensive!!
I too remember these figures being relatively easy to find about 8 months ago. Now, they seem to be very scarce for reasons I can't explain.
Fortunately, Echo Base Toys had four of them in stock, and my order's being processed.
