New Nightmare Freddy Krueger 8-Inch Clothed Figure by NECA

That sweater makes him look like the Michelin Man.
The only thing I'm not digging on the sweater is the neck. It's just not accurate looking. But the puffiness of the sweater itself is fairly close to the movie for a clothed figure. I hope they refine that jacket a bit though, because the head sculpts are perfect and I'd like to keep him displayed with the jacket on.
Oddly enough, I like this figure more than the regular Ultimate release that came out a while back. The headsculpt on this one doesn't have that weird "staring off to something on the side" look in it's eyes.
