Thanks palitoy for the link.
I remember collector/speculators going crazy over the talking Freddy Krueger doll at the time. The buzz was that Matchbox was dicontinuing it and it was gonna be worth a fortune. Sadly Maxx FX was doomed to the same fate, for having come out with a Freddy outfit in the first release. As cool as Maxx was, I don't think Conserned Interest Groups would have missed him as an evil toy, if he had not been released with the Freddy outfit. I heard: "Toy companies have no business making toys of rated-R movie characters, that's just wrong". As cool as the other outfits were and are, and aimed at the older boys into action heroes, American Werewolf in London, Friday the 13th, and Alien, were rated-R movies.
