New Preview of Mego Style Nubbins from Texas Chainsaw Massacre

under Horror Toy News

It looks like fans of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be getting another figure for the family! Along with the Mego Style Nubbins from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, we will be getting a new version of the original Hitchhiker from the classic film. NECA has tweeted out a new preview showcasing a head sculpt for the Hitchhiker. Like Nubbins, this is an 8″ scale retro Mego style figure, featuring a fabric outfit. No word on if this will be a separate release from Nubbins, or if they will come together as sort of an “Evolution” of Hitchhiker to Nubbins.

We’ll update as more details are released. For now, click the banner image for the full preview.

    Fun, but we've never got a figure of the cook that I remember, or an un-corpsified hitchhiker. What's the hold up?

    Someone out there loves Texas Chainsaw 2. I guess there had to be one or two of 'em.

    Why do people have to seem so hurt that they're making figures based on a horror movie with a large fan base? (Yes, there are lots of people at conventions lining up to meet Bill "chop-top" Moseley. And not because of Rob Zombie films) The fact they're giving Texas Chainsaw 2 so much love makes me happy. Movie is a cult classic at this point.

    Nobody here seems hurt at all.

    It might be that they don't have the likeness rights to those actors.

    Hey, it's Edwin Neal! I know most people know him as the Hitchhiker, but for me he'll always be the beyond-awesome voice of Berg Katse in ADV's English anime dub of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. This dude's a character.

    I just ordered another ChopTop to go with Nubbins. I was so good about not collecting the Retro line, too….

    Dammit NECA!

    "Bendable wire armature" means dead Nubbins is just a bendy figure?

    Well, he was pretty flat in the movie. Even the Nubbins that Mezco released way back when was just a flat, rubbery kinda thing.

    True, but he was just an accessory to Chop Top. My initial thought was the corpse Nubbins was gonna be available as a figure on his own, but with the 2-pack he again appears to be just some sort of glorified accessory.

    Also, I never realized he had no feet.
