Check Out Package Art for NECA’s ‘Chainsaw 3’ Leatherface Toy

Published

We were incredibly excited to exclusively reveal the first look at NECA’s upcoming Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 figure ahead of Toy Fair this past February – set for release this summer, it’s actually the very first toy of the third installment’s Leatherface that will ever be released. And today we’re just as excited to show off the toy’s kickass package art!

NECA tweeted out Jason Edmiston’s incredible art just about an hour ago, and you can find it below along with full info and some new images of the retro-style figure itself.

From the 1990 film billed as the “most controversial horror film ever,” Leatherface stands 8” tall and is fully poseable. True to the movie, the blade of his chainsaw is inscribed “The Saw Is Family” and he wears a leg brace. Comes in blister packaging with resealable protective clamshell.

Look for NECA’s latest Leatherface toy on shelves in July!

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
