*Updated with new photos.* With the ability to manipulate fear into something palpable and truly terrifying, Freddy Krueger has sported many eerie appearances over the years, but perhaps one of his most haunting looks was when he revealed his demonic side (complete with horns) in Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Following their first photo reveal of their New Nightmare figure on Twitter, NECA has now unleashed the full photo gallery and release details for their latest Freddy Krueger collectible.
Featuring two interchangeable heads and a wardrobe that includes a trench coat and hat, NECA's New Nightmare Freddy figure is due out in the third quarter of 2019 and can be viewed in the photo gallery below.
This isn't be the first time NECA released a collectible version of Freddy from his New Nightmare days, as they previously released a seven-inch-tall action figure of New Nightmare Freddy, which included his demonic face as one of the alternate heads.

The seventh film in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise took the iconic character in a more menacing direction – closer to Craven’s original intentions for Freddy. This 8” figure is fully poseable and comes with two interchangeable heads, a removable trench coat and removable hat.
Resealable clamshell packaging.
Release Date: Q3 2019"

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
