Photo’s from New Yorks Toy Fair have shown us some very interesting A Nightmare On Elm Street figures and glove replica, but it’s the figure of the unburnt Freddy that grabs my attention. The first few photos lead us to believe that he had a glove with bent nails attached but new photos show that he actually is holding what looks like a garden tool. ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Ecto-1A/internet](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Ecto-1A/internet) findings\_Neca-Nightmare\_00001\_1266349425.jpg) I’ve been pondering the whole storyline since I first head that they were remaking the movie. My thoughts are that perhaps Fred doesn’t use a glove at the start but this make shift tool and it’s not until he is killed that the Dream Demons (assuming that Platinum Dunes is using them) that maybe they provide him with a glove as an “improvement” to more efficient killing in the dream world. Like they’re trying to give an origin to his glove. I personally like that idea. My other thought regarding the story (before seeing these new toys) that I think would be totally awesome to see is that if they made Fred out to be innocent. That maybe the vigilante parents got it wrong. One of the parents might have thought that they saw Fred and you know what vigilante parents are like. Get one other person to believe them and it’s on like donkey kong! What makes that a brilliant story to me is that it would make for a perfect reason as to why Fred would then go on to kill their children. Being and innocent party in it all I could understand why he’d want revenge to that extreme. Totally plausible revenge story. But knowing Hollywood they probably didn’t go down that road especially now that these images of the toys have emerged. Though the trailer does seem to indicate the “innocent” story with Fred yelling through the door “What do you think I did? I didn’t do anything!”. And the way he holds the door closed, to me he looks frightened. Perhaps someone who didn’t know why they were being hunted. So what’s everyone’s thoughts? I’m curious to see what everyone else thinks. 🆒 ---

I just think the glove redesign is a bit “gimmicky” and just trying to be different when is a direct remake of the original.. ---

> [@CPU64](#): > > I just think the glove redesign is a bit “gimmicky” and just trying to be different when is a direct remake of the original.. I didn’t think that they changed the glove that much. Sure it looks a little different to what we’ve seen before but it looks different in every Nightmare film. It’s got all the basics that it needs, with a little tweaking here and there. Here’s an image of NECA’s replica glove. ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Ecto-1A/internet](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Ecto-1A/internet) findings\_Neca-Nightmare\_00009\_1266349449.jpg) ---

It is a gardening tool that he is holding. I think it was either in New Nightmare or the one before that, he was shown in his garden beating the holy hell out of his wife while his daughter watched…can’t remember if he kills his wife or not. I should go back and rewatch the nightmare films. the glove does change betewwn movies as did jasons hockey mask. at first i was against this film becasue it’s hard to see anyone but Robert Englund playing freddy, but after seeing the trailer and new figures, im quite excited ---

Aside from the new glove and the homage to select parts of the previous films , I’m not digging this at all… ---

[quote=“Busterchris”] I think it was either in New Nightmare or the one before that, he was shown in his garden beating the holy hell out of his wife while his daughter watched…can’t remember if he kills his wife or not. That was Freddy’s Dead, and from watching that scene again they only show him shake his wife. He did however have that room under the house full of a variety of gloves. One with what looks like Catwoman claws lol. The other thing that from reading a lot of peoples opinions on this film from all parts of the web is that a lot don’t like the way he looks. Now it could just be that it’s not Robert playing Freddy that’s getting everyone vocal but like the glove the makeup effects of his face changed from every movie. Most notably Freddy’s Dead, to me it just looked like an old man with soft pink wrinkly skin. Hardly resembled how he had looked previously. I personally think that Jackie will do a great job, he’s a good actor and every good actor should completely turn into the character they are portraying. That’s their job. I will be there opening night (not in costume though :sigh: don’t think the cinema nor the mall security would approve of the glove. But just think how much fun it would be scaring everyone 🆒 ---

The new glove is growing one me, but man, I really miss it having a backplate. I’m mixed on the film. I’m going to miss Robert, that’s for sure. > [@class-pain101](#): > > My other thought regarding the story (before seeing these new toys) that I think would be totally awesome to see is that if they made Fred out to be innocent.

One question… WHY?! Why must we suffer these endless remakes? Some people try to justify themselves using the word reboot but they’re all one in the same. You know someone is trying very hard to remake Ghostbusters and I hope all involved with the original are fighting against them. I miss Robert Englund already and for two reasons. He made that character his own and most importantly, he was originally a bad guy. The best villains start out evil, I’m not into tragic victims who as soon as they wake up the next day are criminal/torture masterminds. For example, The Joker is much more convincing using any one of the gangster origins (i.e. '89 Batman) than the Red Hood stories where he’s a sympathetic character. Freddy needs to be evil from the get go. They’re trying to save his appearance for the film but his voice just sounds like an imitation of Englund’s. They should have just let him play the role again, albeit with some new ideas, just as they should have let Kane Hodder play Jason in the remakes. Remakes… they put a bad taste in good movies, eh? ---

Agreed with Rune31 100%…Though I hope to hell the remake brigade stays the hell away from Ghostbusters, though if it doen’t happen now, I’m sure it’ll happen someday…Unfortunately… As far as the “new look”? I’ll pass…I prefer the “pizza face” to the “frog” look anyday…And before anyone harps that “it’s more realistic looking” - he’s a murderer who kills you [in your dreams](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/extreme-ghostbusters/in-your-dreams) and can manipulate said dream to his every whim - Realism doesn’t apply in the first place, arguement is moot… And lastly - I believe the “Robert Cameo” is just a rumor, though he did wish the cast and crew the best though [unlike Wes Craven who was pretty angry about it]… ---
