Leatherface (Movie Maniacs)

by McFarlane Toys

Leatherface is from the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (but you all probably know that by now). He is 7 ½” inches tall on the base and the overall diorama height is 10 inches. He has articulation located on the elbows, neck, wrists and waist. This is six points in total, which is surprising for a McFarlane figure. (It’s still not the best figure to play with, but that much articulation is still kind of shocking.)

 

Sculpting on Leatherface is absolutely gorgeous; in a weird and sick twisted sort of way I guess. His mask made of human skin looks very real. There’s also wrinkles on it, the stitching and cut out eye holes. The pose he’s in should be very appealing to horror fans since he does look like he’s about to kill every unlucky person that just happens to be in his presence. His clothing was also done very well. His shirt, his apron and pants all appear very worn.  

 

Like the other two Texas Chainsaw characters from this line of figures (that I’ve reviewed), Leatherface has very dull color tones to give the fearful effects from the movie. This also helps his clothing look more worn and dirty.

 

Accessories included are Leatherface’s trusty chainsaw and several pieces, which can be put together to create a base. I’m more than satisfied with the bases of both figures; Sheriff Hoyt and Leatherface. They have the coolest bases that I’ve seen in any McFarlane figure. Leatherface’s base is a doorway, which recreates a scene where he barges through a door like the

crazy lunatic that he is.

 

Should you spend your money on Leatherface? If you’re a fan of the movie or just like creepy figures, then you’ve got nothing to lose.
