Here’s NECA’s Chop-Top Figure From ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2!

Published

on

Back in July, we posted that NECA was planning on releasing an action figure for “Chop-Top”, Bill Moseley’s character from Tobe Hooper’s 1986 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The sequel originally confused horror fans upon release as its tone and style were markedly different from the first film, injecting humor, inanity, and color in ways that gave it an almost completely different feel. And Chop-Top was one of the big examples of this shift, ultimately becoming a beloved character that has created his own cult status.

Now, NECA has pulled back the curtain, revealing the retro “Chop-Top” doll in all of its glory (yes, he even comes with his wire hanger and removable wig).

It’s the 30th anniversary of ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2,’ and we’re marking the occasion with the first appearance of Chop Top in our retro clothed action figure line!

From the 1986 film, Leatherface’s sadistic brother Chop Top stands 8” tall and is dressed in intricately detailed and tailored fabric clothing similar to the iconic toy lines of the 1970s. He’s fully poseable and comes complete with tons of accessories: wire hanger, razor, lighter, hammer, removable wig and removable glasses. Blister packaging with resealable protective clamshell features new custom artwork created by fan-favorite illustrator Jason Edmiston just for this release!

From New Line Cinema and producer Zach Cregger (Director: Barbarian) comes the upcoming sci-fi/horror movie Companion, which has officially received its “R” rating this week.

Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…

“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”

The film’s cast includes Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets,” The Boogeyman) alongside Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”).

Described as a sci-fi/horror movie, Companion will mark the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. At this time, plot details are under wraps.

In other words, we have no idea what to expect from this one. Stay tuned for more.
