Being a long-term collector of action figures, with an emphasis on horror movie characters, I was excited when this figure was released. I generally keep my figures in the package, but since Leatherface is my all time favorite character, I went ahead and purchased two of these. One to open, and one to stay sealed. I had hopes to send my sealed figure to Gunnar Hansen to have it signed, but with his recent passing I will, unfortunately, no longer be able to do so. My figures arrived in mint condition, and I was excited to see that they used the original film poster as the front of the packaging. This poster has become iconic, and I could think of no better way to honor the 40th anniversary of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
The outer box is the same size and shape as NECA's recent classic video game appearance line of figures. Since I also collect that series, it was cool to see that this figure would match them. This figure is not wrapped, it is unsealed with a flap that opens to show a clear window so the 7" figure can be seen. The background behind the figure shows the red wall with all the animal skulls on it. In the movie, this is where the metal sliding door is and is our first look at Leatherface, I like that NECA used that background as it seems fitting for this figure.
The figure itself is highly detailed and appears to be high quality. For the figure that I opened for display, I had no problems putting the chainsaw into his hands and positioning him in a standing position with the chainsaw over his head. The figure also includes an alternate head, and a variety of smaller tools, some of which seem to be random additions. I don't recall them all from the movie, but, Leatherface can never have too many implements of killing, so the added tools make for lots of display options.
Pros:
-Beautiful packaging with attention to film details
-High quality, detailed and very posable figure
-Includes an alternate head and assortment of tools
All in all, I feel that this is an excellent addition to any collection. This is probably one of the best Leatherface figures that has ever been released. I would encourage any collector, whether you collect NECA, horror movie figures, or you're just looking to spice up a home theater room, to grab one (or two) of these while you can. I would rate this figure at 5/5 stars and I look forward to the Jason figure and to anything else that NECA releases.
