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

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
