Makeup effects artist Kevin Yagher has announced a wickedly cool Freddy Krueger maquette that comes directly from his A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge pre-production sculpt in 1984-85! He used it as a design study prior to beginning the full-size makeup sculpture of Freddy. Soon after the movie was filmed, Kevin also sculpted a hat for the Freddy maquette. This deluxe version includes both the maquette and the hat.
There will be a limited run of these artist proofs created in-house at Kevin’s studio. They will be cast out of a dense, high-quality urethane resin (over 4.5 lbs) and hand-painted with a bronze faux finish. Each maquette will have an inset logo of the film’s title on the front and an inscription on the back that reads “Preproduction Maquette Sculpted by Kevin Yagher.”
Every limited-edition Freddy maquette will be personally signed on the bottom by Kevin and will include a certificate of authenticity also signed by Kevin.
The $319 price tag seems a little steep, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t desperately wishing I could afford this.
