A Nightmare on Elm Street Remake Glove

[Detale78]

This just arrived from Custom craft. Freddy remake glove. This thing is truley a work of art and something about it in my opinion makes it almost more menacing than the original one. Looking forward to the new film as well Jackie looks like a great replacement for Robert...there both psychos....

Sorry for the bad pictures will take better pictures in the day light.

Unsure if the new glove is cut revealing the palm of the hand and fingers since no pictures are available as of yet. This glove was based of off the teaser poster. Owen did a fantastic job on it, 100% accurate or not (we are yet to see) it is still an awesome glove at a great price. :thumbsup

Cool piece!

I'm trying to warm up to the sloppy blade welds. I mean, I know it what's seen on the movie poster and all.

It's just if Freddy had the skill to sit down and engineer the glove in the first place, I think he could've done a little better than that splatter weld.

I do like the design of the new glove. Good job replicating it too!

How would Freddy have accomplished the closed forefingers? That would be a tricky one!

Yeah thats a good question... the closed forefingers is actually one of my favorite parts to this glove. Upon close inspection of this glove I still don't know even how Owen managed to pull this off. Its not just a top and bottom shell welded together...which would be the only way I see pulling this off. I will take better pictures in a few hours when the sun rises.

Is the metal thinner toward the tip of the fingers? Was a sheet heated and pulled over a form? I don't even know if that'd work, but...

Here's a site that explains how to make copper "boppers" and describes how he rounded out copper caps with a hammer.

And here's a site if you just want to buy the caps that are dome shaped.

Gotta say I really like the sloppy welds. Adds character.

Pretty sweet new version of the glove, not too far removed from the original, just a few subtle changes.

Real nice.

Eh, I'm not loving it. I need to see better shots of the whole package with Freddy and his glove, shirt, and hat.

There is no way the new glove could ever beat the nostolgia of the original, but it is a much better design as far as I can tell. I'm just not too thrilled they're remaking it to begin with.

Nice Glove man! Who made it and how can I get one Love the look of the new glove, I am a huge fan of the original series but I have to say I like the new glove better.

 

[Rylo]

This looks good to me. I like his screwed up sounding voice a lot!

i like the skeletal look the top of the glove has vs. the copper plate, but the work that would've gone into doming the finger tips, would the maker (freddy in the movie), go sloppy with the soldering when the blades look so clean and you've meticulously cut the copper skeletal frames for the top of the glove?

any idea what the blades are supposed to be based off of (knife wise)?

otherwise, this glove looks 'stronger' in concept vs. the original glove imho. more heft/strength for slashing from the domed finger tips (sort of remind me of big daddys from bio shock).

The tips of the fingers where probably just copper sheet that was hammered into a semicircle shaped die, then soldered onto the other part.
