Almost every Freddy fan had that plastic glove back in the day - so when I got my first 'metal' glove back in the summer of 1999 I was pretty stoked.
As the years passed and my standards in quality grew, I realized I wanted to replace my metal Freddy glove - which was purchased on ebay for $75.
It had many problems I was not always happy with - flimsy, sheet metal blades, glued on not soldered parts, innacurated shaped backplate, crudely formed finger tip curves, innacurate finger rings (which were also glued on) and the top pinky ring was set too high so it was hard to control that finger.
Now over ten years later, another Ebay glove is replacing the old one - and although this seller does not yet have a website where he sells his replica gloves, I wanted to share with you the quality of this item and the fact that it only cost me $89 + shipping (buy it now)
Pictured below is the new glove, fallowed by photos of the new one next to my old one. Aside from the obvious color differences, and improvements on the beforementioned problem areas of my old glove, the thick sturdy blades on the new one make all the difference for me.
This new glove is modeled off the "Dream Warriors" version. Not 100% accurate as far as color goes, but I love the aged bronze and copper coloring.
The ebay seller goes by the name neopaltoys and has been frequently posting these gloves up for sale as of late. For the price, it is a VERY good, well built glove.
