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 is teasing their figure with a few pictures of the prototype design. The below photos show the scraggly, mangy hair and the protruding teeth as well as the buggy eyes. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic design, one that will earn its place on any horror collector’s shelf!
No release date has yet been scheduled, although NECA states that we can expect it to come in early summer. Rev up those chainsaws!
