Throughout the past several weeks we have seen previews of collectibles being released by companies such as Sideshow, NECA, and Mezco. As a collector myself, I love it when we get to see new releases, and I absolutely cannot wait for a couple of the pieces that are coming out.
Let’s take a look at ten of our favorite horror collectibles for this year!
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2: 30th Anniversary 8″ Clothed Figure From NECA
Everyone’s favorite chainsaw-wielding cannibal was released in June to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 1986 cult classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. I haven’t gotten my hands on this one yet, but if it is anything like the 40th anniversary figure from the original ’74 Chain Saw, then I will be picking this bad boy up as soon as possible. The figure stands 8″ tall and is fully poseable. Leatherface comes equipped with his trusty chainsaw and a meat carver as well. With this figures, the packaging is also tremendous. I personally love the art style that they used; the figure comes in a resealable blister packaging featuring custom artwork by illustrator Jason Edmiston! I’m sure that most of you guys have seen this figure, but if you haven’t, check it out!
NECA has also announced that in September they will be releasing Leatherface’s brother Chop-Top in the same retro clothed line. Chop-Top will have similar packaging and come complete with his own arsenal of accessories featuring his wire hanger, lighter, razor, removable wig, hammer, and removable glasses. The blister packaging will also feature artwork from illustrator Jason Edmiston!
Evil Dead II – 7″ Ash Ultimate Scale Action Figure From NECA
Along with the release of Chop-Top, NECA is also releasing its Ultimate Ash figure in September! From the 1987 cult classic Evil Dead II, NECA is bringing us what they are calling the definitive collector’s version of our boomstick-toting, chainsaw-armed hero! Unlike the Leatherface and Chop-Top, this figure is only 7″ and is not clothed, but he does come with a nice array of detailed accessories. Our hero comes complete with 2 interchangeable heads for starters: one regular and one possessed! He also comes with interchangeable right forearms, severed possessed hand, Sheila head, Necronomicon, tape recording machine, shotgun, and axe. The figure has over 25 points of articulation and is fully poseable featuring all new fully articulated legs! The figure comes packaged in a collector-friendly window box packaging, and you can bet that I will be picking this great collectible up the first chance that I get!
