Introduction
Monster Mayhem continues as NECA announces a thrilling rerelease of two rare accessory sets from the Nightmare on Elm Street series. The iconic Freddy Kreuger’s Furnace Set and the Freddy Accessory Set are making a comeback, offering fans a chance to own two pieces of cinematic terror. With a short preorder window, here’s a detailed look at these horrifying collectibles.
Freddy Kreuger’s Furnace Set
The Freddy Kreuger’s Furnace Diorama captivated fans when it was first released in 2018, providing a meticulously crafted depiction of the furnace from Freddy Kreuger’s boiler room lair. This diorama featured heavily in nearly all of the Elm Street movies.
Freddy Accessory Set
First seen in 2022, the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET – FREDDY ACCESSORY SET brings to life harrowing moments from Dream Warriors. Key components include:
- Freddy Worm: This horrifying version of Freddy attacked both Kristin and Nancy early in Dream Warriors.
- TV Freddy: Recreates the famous scene where Freddy, morphing out of a TV, delivers the best line in the movie: “Welcome to prime time, bitch!”
- Elm Street Signs: Both the regular and nightmare versions of the Elm Street sign, iconic symbols in every Elm Street film.
Pricing and Availability
Both the Freddy’s Furnace for $39.99 and the Freddy Accessory Set for $59.99 are offered at nearly half the price compared to the secondary market, exclusively through NECA’s online store. Remember, preorders close on June 3rd, and the sets will ship between October and December 2024.
Considerations Before Purchasing
It is important for collectors to consider is that neither set includes the standard Freddy Kreuger figure. The accessory set does include the Worm and TV Freddy, the furnace’s appeal could be limited without a Freddy figure.
Conclusion
These rereleases from NECA are a must-have for any fan of the Elm Street series, presenting an opportunity to capture iconic moments from the franchise. Act quickly to secure these collectibles and ensure you don’t miss out on bringing home a piece of terror from Elm Street. Secure your preorder by the closing date to avoid disappointment. The next Monster Mayhem reveal will be on Friday, May 17. If the pattern holds, this could be another re-release announcement. What old NECA accessory set would you like to see reissued?
