[Trivial Psychic]

I'm really excited to finally seeing this get a much needed upgrade, but still, not without some minor disappointments. Another expressive hand of some sort would have been nice, and I would really like to see NECA find some sort of way to incorporate an elbow that gets slightly more than 90 degrees of bend. Doesn't have to be a double jointed one (since I know NECA likes to keep the fluidity of their sculpts,) but still, there has to be something they can do to help engineer it along, especially when other companies already are.

That hammer/icepick accessory is another curious one. I remember the Mezco version of this figure having something very similar, yet he never used that weapon in the film as far as I can recall...even in the alternate kill sequences that were changed in the director's cut.

I still have the original figure, so I'm excited to see this one coming down the line. I wonder if this means we will eventually see an Ultimate (or at least...revamped) version of the Jackie Earle Haley Freddy figure that NECA released back when that film came out. While that film was a tub of you know what, I actually liked JEH's menacing take on the character, and while I didn't dig the look in the beginning, it grew on me in a big way. It's still one of my favorite Freddy figures to date.
