Horror Toy Tuesday: Leatherface and Misfits mego-style action figures

Late last week, Neca let loose some info regarding new products coming out this Halloween. In the tradition of their 8" mego-style action figures, they've announced that they're putting out a highly detailed Leatherface in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And, he comes with his little hammer, and trusty chainsaw. There's not a lot of pictures surfacing yet, but he's already priced at only $27.99, and he's available to pre-order now at Entertainment Earth. It's been a while since we've gotten a Gunnar Hansen-style Leatherface figure, and it's coming out at the perfect time. I'll be ordering mine shortly.

Horror Toy Tuesday: Misfits Fiend POP! Vinyl figure

The horror-punk band, The Misfits, were founded in 1977, and are mostly known for their outfits, crazy hair, and ghastly makeup. And despite their disbanding, the popularity of their gimmicks and music keeps growing and growing. It seems everywhere I go, I see someone wearing a shirt with the Misfits logo; the crimson ghost skull face. The band are mostly known for their songs "Dig Up Her Bones", "Last Caress", and "Die, Die My Darling", and were never scared to push the envelope in terms of disturbing-yet funny lyrics. Over the years, The Misfits have become somewhat of a pop culture craze. And like all good things, the popularity comes after the point of their success. They're more popular now then they've ever been.
