When a new entry in a popular slasher franchise is released, it’s almost inevitable that there are going to be action figures made based on the version of the slasher seen in the new movie. Back in February, a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie was released through the Netflix streaming service – and now the version of Leatherface that was featured in that movie is getting an action figure courtesy of Hiya Toys. Some images of this Leatherface action figure can be seen at the bottom of this article, and more can be seen at Entertainment Earth. The figure can also be pre-ordered at that link. It’s expected to ship out in April 2023.

Here are the details on the action figure:

Directed by David Blue Garcia from a script by Chris Thomas Devlin (based on a story by producers Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues), the recent Texas Chainsaw Massacre had the following official synopsis:

After nearly 50 years of hiding, Leatherface returns to terrorize a group of idealistic young friends who accidentally disrupt his carefully shielded world in a remote Texas town.

Melody (Sarah Yarkin), her teenage sister Lila (Elsie Fisher), and their friends Dante (Jacob Latimore) and Ruth (Nell Hudson), head to the remote town of Harlow, Texas to start an idealistic new business venture. But their dream soon turns into a waking nightmare when they accidentally disrupt the home of Leatherface, the deranged serial killer whose blood-soaked legacy continues to haunt the area’s residents — including Sally Hardesty (Olwen Fouéré), the sole survivor of his infamous 1973 massacre who’s hell-bent on seeking revenge.

In addition to the actors mentioned above, the cast includes Moe Dunford, Jessica Allain, Sam Douglas, William Hope, Jolyon Coy, and Alice Krige, with Mark Burnham as Leatherface. John Larroquette, who narrated the opening text crawl of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and was also heard in the remake and the remake’s prequel, was brought back to narrate the opening of this movie as well.
