NECA Shares New Look At ‘Ultimate Leatherface’ #SDCC

Ultimate Leatherface

Not since 1998 have we seen Leatherface treated so well.

To commemorate The Texas Chain Saw Massacre‘s 40th anniversary, NECA is releasing the 7″ scale ‘Ultimate Leatherface’ as he appeared in Tobe Hooper’s 1974 slasher.

NECA shared the new images ahead of the San Diego Comic-Con, although it was unveiled at the New York Toy Fair this past February.

It comes rocking an all-new body featuring over 25 points of articulation, plus 2 equally gruesome interchangeable heads. Leatherface comes with chainsaw, knife, mallet, meat hook, cleaver, and a vinyl apron. Loaded with features, detail and articulation, and packaged in a Deluxe 40th Anniversary window box.

NECA’s ‘Ultimate Freddy’ is out now, which already leads to speculation that an ‘Ultimate Jason Voorhies’ is up next!

McFarlane Toys introduced us horror fans to Leatherface in both a bloody and regular variant edition as part of their inaugural Movie Maniacs line back in 1998. It was impossible to get back then because, not only was there no way to pre-order online, but the warehouse employees at all the toy stores were bribed to pull the toys by local comic shops. It sucked.

Anyways, fans now get what they deserve with this absolutely stunning new figure as shown below. If NECA can find a way to triple our shelf space, we’d buy that, too.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
