Jada Freddy Krueger Cadillac JA31102: Car-and-Figure Display Guide
Jada item JA31102 pairs a red 1:24 1958 Cadillac Series 62 with an approximately 2.75-inch Freddy Krueger figure. The car includes an opening hood, doors and trunk, rubber tires and a detailed interior and exterior, giving the set both a substantial vehicle and a separate horror-character focal point.
The figure is included. That distinguishes this release from a standalone Cadillac and makes the packaging, item number and two-piece display concept important when comparing listings.

Why the car and figure should be planned together
The Cadillac is long even for a 1:24 model, and the figure needs additional room beside it. A case that barely fits a nine-inch car may not leave enough space for a readable two-subject scene. Measure the usable shelf width and depth before ordering.
A front three-quarter arrangement lets the figure stand near the Cadillac without blocking the long side profile. A rear angle can show the trunk open, but it may hide the character from the primary viewing side. Test the composition before using any removable mounting material.
Using the opening hood, doors and trunk
- Support the chassis before opening a panel.
- Move one panel at a time and stop at its natural limit.
- Do not carry the car with the hood, doors or trunk open.
- Keep the figure clear of moving panels.
- Close everything before dusting or returning the car to its box.
Opening all panels at once creates a dramatic inspection display but requires more space and increases the chance of contact. One or two open features are usually enough to show the detail without making the scene crowded.
Keeping the release identifiable
Record the full combination: red 1958 Cadillac Series 62 + Freddy Krueger figure + Jada JA31102. The year 1958 identifies the full-size Cadillac represented, not the production date of the miniature.
Save the box insert and one photograph showing both pieces. If the figure and car are displayed in different parts of a collection, a shared item label will keep the set from being separated permanently.
Arrival and condition checklist
- Confirm JA31102 on the package.
- Count both the Cadillac and Freddy figure before discarding packing material.
- Inspect the figure’s hat, hands and projecting details for shipping movement.
- Check the Cadillac’s hood ornament, mirrors and body edges.
- Set the car on a flat surface and verify that all tires sit evenly.
- Test the hood, doors and trunk gently and confirm that they close cleanly.
Care for a mixed-material display
Dust the car with a soft brush and the figure with very light air or a separate clean brush. Avoid resting the figure against the painted body. Keep both pieces away from prolonged direct sunlight, which can affect the red paint, printed details and figure finish over time.
Who this set suits
JA31102 is a strong fit for horror collectors, Jada Hollywood Rides displays, Cadillac fans who enjoy themed releases and buyers who want both a car and character in one package. A collector seeking a factory-stock Cadillac without licensed horror styling should choose a different release.
