Sheriff Hoyt (Movie Maniacs)

by McFarlane Toys

 

sheriff hoyt

 

Sheriff Hoyt is from the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He stands 7¼” inches tall. I was able to find two points of articulation – each arm can be rotated. Out of all the McFarlane figures I have now, this one has the least amount of articulation (which is no biggie since you can’t do much with the other figures anyways).

 

Sheriff Hoyt has an incredible amount of detail. The wrinkles on his face look very good and the expression helps it look more realistic. He has a bunch of other noticeable details like the scar on his arm. His clothing also looks very convincing, which is really hard to do, especially with plastic.

 

Accessories included with the sheriff are a handgun and a two-part van base that connects together and recreates a scene from the movie. To be honest, this base is really awesome. The van itself is very detailed. The cracked glass looks realistic, not to mention all the blood coming from it.

 

McFarlane, as usual, used dull tons of paints to give it a realistic look. The shirt on the sheriff looks a bit worn out and the pants have a nice shade of brown. The shoes have some nice dabs of a lighter brown to make it look like mud. Mcfarlane’s magnificent talent was really well shown through this figure.

The van has a dark coating of green and the wheel on the back looks very professional. The bottom part of the stand has tire markings on it. Even the license plate looks like it has been covered with mud.

 

Would I recommend Sheriff Hoyt? If you’re a fan of The Chain Saw Massacre, it is a must for your collection.
