One, Two A Freddy Krueger Living Dead Doll Is Talking To You

by Chris HammondJanuary 16, 2018

I long for the day when I win the lottery and can acquire every LIVING DEAD DOLL figure that MEZCO TOYZ puts out.

Just look at who’s coming to your dreams later this year: FREDDY KRUEGER, resurrected (this time) as the first licensed talking LIVING DEAD DOLL ever released. The iconic star of nine NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET films now comes with seven quips he’s used on screen. With an all-new head sculpt, striped sweater and removable hat, frayed flesh Freddy is coming for you this summer –  glove and all.

The figure itself stands 10 inches tall and has five points of articulation. The figure can be made to talk by pushing a button on his back. Don’t dare sleep and miss this crazy cool collectible, shipping this May-July 2018.
Price: $50
Grab it before he grabs you!
Keep up with all the creepies coming from MEZCO TOYZ!

The horror bug that lives inside me is well cared for and has been going strong since I watched my first introduction to horror through a grainy VHS copy of John Carpenter's 1978 classic film Halloween.
