FunTranscript
00:00I admit, the dancing may suffer given the posability this guy possesses.
00:04Here's a look at the Trick-or-Treat Studios' Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 Leatherface Pretty Woman 5-Inch Figure.
00:18Who will survive, and what will be left of them?
00:21Trick-or-Treat Studios is proud to present the officially licensed
00:24the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 Leatherface Pretty Woman 5-Inch Figure
00:29From the infamous 1974 film that changed the face of horror
00:33comes the Texas Chainsaw Massacre official 5-Inch Leatherface action figure.
00:38Leatherface features chainsaw-wielding action.
00:40Just squeeze his legs and let the saw fly.
00:43Leather's all dolled up and ready to go, but before we squeeze his legs and let him go,
00:48we're going to take the tape measure and see how tall the figure stands.
00:50Having just recently looked at the Slaughter Mask Leatherface of the same scale,
00:54of the same size, and from the same company,
00:56we're now moving our focus over to the Pretty Woman.
00:59Good news, though, is if you guys are interested and would like to get your hands on these,
01:02they're available right now on Trick-or-Treat Studios' website for $24.99.
01:06For the fact that we get a figure this size and the fact that it does have a gimmick,
01:09I don't think $24.99 is a bad price at all.
01:12Back, though, to measuring, if I can get things going.
01:15Yeah, you're looking at Pretty Woman Leatherface standing 5 1⁄4 inches in height,
01:19or working out to be about 14 centimeters tall.
01:22Obviously, for comparisons, I can bring in the earlier-looked-at Slaughter Mask Leatherface.
01:26It's a pretty similar size.
01:28Although, looking at the Slaughter Mask, it does seem, though, like he's a tad bit taller.
01:33Now, as we had done with the Slaughter Mask release,
01:35let's bring in some other examples as well of things that you can actually scale
01:38if you've already been collecting things from Trick-or-Treat Studios.
01:41Like, for example, here's Otis B. Driftwood from House of a Thousand Corpses.
01:45And I suppose, while we're also sticking with House of a Thousand Corpses,
01:48why not let him loose?
01:49Here's also what they look like with Earl Firefly, or better known as well as The Professor.
01:54Packed with Leatherface is the Poulin 245 Chainsaw,
01:58although in some of the scenes, the Poulin 306A was also used.
02:01Now, this chainsaw, if you were to look at the two between this one and the Slaughter Mask,
02:05they seem to be identical.
02:07Same color, same placement of handle, nothing really at all that I can see is different.
02:12Maybe, again, like the placement of the paint, if they are hand-painting these,
02:15I would imagine that these would be not in the exact same spots.
02:18Although, again, like looking at where the rust has settled,
02:21it seems like it's on the same side here as it is over here.
02:25Being that these are the identical chainsaws,
02:27I feel there could have been also an opportunity where they could have made a bloodied chainsaw,
02:32and being that they also are held the same way by Leatherface.
02:35If you then would want to choose to have one figure displayed with the bloodier chainsaw,
02:39you could do that.
02:40If you had the cleaner chainsaw,
02:41just the fact that having the variety, the options available,
02:44I think it would be kind of cool if they had changed the blade,
02:47where one would look like it had already been busy.
02:50Speaking of making things busy,
02:51you can go ahead and put the chainsaw actually in Leatherface's hands,
02:54essentially the exact same way as the Slaughter Mask.
02:57You can kind of already follow the guidelines now
02:59by the fact he's got the little piggies that haven't yet gone to the market,
03:02haven't yet slaughtered the people stopping by.
03:04Basically, just take yourself the chainsaw,
03:06clip it into one of his hands like that,
03:09and then basically just...
03:10Now, this...
03:11I find it's sometimes even easier if you take the black handle and do that first.
03:14Then take the other handle and the other hand
03:18and just kind of clip everything together.
03:21I seem to be making this much more of a struggle than it actually is,
03:24but there you go.
03:26You can get the Leatherface to hold the chainsaw.
03:29Now, it essentially works the exact same way as the Slaughter Mask.
03:31When we looked at the Slaughter Mask,
03:33I'm going to bring him in right now,
03:35what it was really that you would squeeze the legs together
03:37and would bring his arms up.
03:39Right now, it looks like he's actually dancing.
03:45Obviously, it makes more sense to have him holding something,
03:50but this Leatherface basically does the exact same thing.
03:52So when you squeeze the legs,
03:54it brings the arms up.
03:56One thing I did kind of help, though, with the figure
03:58was the arms were really low down to his legs,
04:00and it didn't move the arms up that high.
04:03I actually found what you can do, too,
04:05is you can take those arms and bring them up.
04:07Because when you get them out of the package,
04:09and they're kind of like this,
04:10and when you squeeze the legs,
04:11it still kind of looks like he's dancing.
04:15But if you bring the arms up,
04:16it makes for a much more menacing swing
04:19when, of course, he's got the chainsaw in his hand.
04:21One thing, though, is by using the gimmick doubled twice,
04:25because this Leatherface already had this,
04:26and this one does the exact same.
04:29I don't know what really would have been involved,
04:30because they would have had to sculpt a brand new figure.
04:33From what I can see,
04:34nothing really does look like it's been borrowed over.
04:37Maybe, perhaps, if anything,
04:38the lower legs and the boots were probably borrowed,
04:42but I think all the rest of the figure is a brand new sculpt.
04:44If it is, though, a new sculpt,
04:46I feel like there could have also been an opportunity
04:47to incorporate a brand new gimmick,
04:49one that wasn't already used.
04:51This looks fun,
04:52and I love the idea of being able to squeeze Leatherface's legs
04:54to have him bringing up the chainsaw,
04:56although, again, it makes more sense
04:57to have a chainsaw in his hands.
04:58But, if I can, though, bring back the Professor,
05:02one of the reasons, also, I wanted to bring this guy in,
05:04because we've already done reviews
05:05of all the House of a Thousand Corpses figures,
05:07Professor did something different.
05:09It wasn't, though, the case that you squeezed his legs.
05:11No, that wouldn't do anything at all.
05:13But, with the Professor,
05:14you could actually twist his torso,
05:16and he would swing.
05:17Not well, but if you did it like this,
05:20he would actually be swinging his torso back and forth.
05:23It got me, then, thinking,
05:26had they used this gimmick with this Leatherface,
05:29so, essentially, instead of squeezing his legs,
05:31if you twisted his torso,
05:33it would actually look like he was, like,
05:35flashing around, swinging around the chainsaw.
05:38Just as an idea,
05:39just as something I could throw there as a suggestion.
05:41I mean, I still like the idea that he can hold the chainsaw.
05:44Not always well, mind you.
05:46But having this, though, as a gimmick that wasn't already used,
05:49it would also give the incentive to collectors.
05:51Not that collectors really need the incentive
05:53to buy another Leatherface.
05:54But instead of doing this,
05:56what if he could just twist his torso
05:58in the same way, though, that they did for the Professor?
06:01Outside of that, I mean,
06:02I really like the look of Pretty Woman Leatherface.
06:04I'm always kind of more biased towards this look of leather
06:06over the Slaughter Mask,
06:08getting a closer look.
06:09Speaking of the mask,
06:11it is definitely a different sculpt.
06:12Here's what he looks like with the Slaughter Mask,
06:14so you guys can see.
06:15There's more overhang down below.
06:17He's a little more paler and gray.
06:19And, oh, yeah, he's also got mascara and lipstick.
06:22Both the head sculpts look really good on these figures.
06:24If you like that kind of vintage style
06:26that they've come out with,
06:28boy, boy, this Leatherface,
06:29not, like, knocks it all out of the park.
06:31Everything that I would really want
06:32for a gimmicked figure of a smaller-scale Leatherface,
06:34this guy does well.
06:35I like that even his jacket
06:37has a little fray at the bottom.
06:39Like, it looks like the wind's kind of blowing it up.
06:41This one doesn't have, though, the tie,
06:43where, like, this one,
06:45the tie was a separate piece
06:46because it overlapped.
06:47This plastic apron that he had.
06:49This one, actually,
06:50they just sculpted a tie to his shirt.
06:52The jacket is all one piece as well,
06:54so there's not as much layers of things
06:56going into this Leatherface.
06:58But, man, oh, man,
06:59he's a cool-looking figure, though.
07:00Spin this guy around
07:01so you guys can see here,
07:02even on the back.
07:03There's a lot more hair going on as well
07:05for the pretty woman Leatherface.
07:07I like the look of the jacket.
07:08Pants again.
07:09I feel like, again,
07:10like the pants probably were used before.
07:12It almost even does look like
07:14the knees on this one
07:15are a little bit lower.
07:17But that could have probably been
07:19the opportunity that they could have used
07:20to use some of the mold again.
07:23Now, for the figure's articulation,
07:24if you're familiar, by the way,
07:25though, with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
07:27Slaughter Mass,
07:28then Pretty Woman pretty much does the same.
07:30Head is what seems like
07:31it's going to be on a ball joint.
07:32I say seems
07:33because while you can move the head
07:35back and forth,
07:36moving it up and down
07:37doesn't seem to do the job.
07:39Now, this could have also
07:40just been a head
07:40that they put onto a peg
07:42where it still would be able to do this.
07:44It just wouldn't be able
07:45to move it up and down.
07:46I'm willing to think, though,
07:47that it's a ball joint,
07:48but it's a ball joint
07:49that really doesn't give
07:50much luxury to the head to move.
07:52Now, these arms also do move,
07:53but again,
07:54the more you move them up,
07:56like this, for example,
07:57it just is going to change
07:59where he's going to be
07:59angling the chainsaw.
08:01So realistically, again,
08:02you can put them over his arms as well,
08:03over his head,
08:05and you can flail around
08:06the chainsaw that way, too.
08:08Like with before,
08:09I was surprised that this
08:10actually does have
08:10hand articulation,
08:11so you can move these
08:12back and forth, too.
08:13They've even spent the time
08:14to actually sculpt in the bracelet,
08:16so man, boy, oh boy.
08:17Even a smaller-scale leather face,
08:19they check all the boxes.
08:21There's a little bit
08:22of articulation here
08:22for the legs,
08:23so you can move them
08:23forward and back.
08:24There is also a knee bend
08:25there, too.
08:26Even when you have the legs
08:27further forward like this,
08:29you can squeeze them
08:30a little bit,
08:30and the arms only move
08:32just slightly.
08:33By the way, as well,
08:34BTW, the figure does also
08:35have pickles
08:36on the bottoms of his feet.
08:37So if you did want to make
08:38use of a display stand
08:39whilst a stand isn't
08:40available for this figure,
08:42you can certainly borrow
08:43over one from another
08:44figure company.
08:45$24.99.
08:46Not a bad price, again.
08:47Now, they have done, again,
08:48other Texas Chainsaw Massacre
08:50figures from the 74 film.
08:52I'd love to get, eventually,
08:53the dinner scene
08:54that's going to have Grandpa.
08:55It's going to have Sally
08:56there as well.
08:57The only thing I would
08:58still say is a few
08:59little things,
09:00with the pretty woman
09:01being that, again,
09:01they're using the exact same
09:02pool and chainsaw.
09:03I would have liked
09:05if one of them
09:05had more blood on it.
09:07So, you know, again,
09:07you could kind of
09:08generously decide
09:09which one is going to be
09:10the busier guy
09:11with the chainsaw,
09:12just so that they're
09:13not identical to one another.
09:15And then the other thing,
09:16too, is, again,
09:16like bringing back in
09:17the Professor from
09:18House of a Thousand Corpses.
09:19I feel like this gimmick
09:20didn't always really work
09:22all that well,
09:22but I feel like this gimmick
09:24could have been something
09:24that could have been
09:25borrowed over to the pretty woman
09:27so that it wasn't just
09:28the design of the character
09:29that differed from
09:30one to the other.
09:31It was the working gimmick
09:32as well.
09:33The thing I really, again,
09:34like about the Texas
09:35Chainsaw Massacre figures
09:36that they've released
09:36at Trick or Treat Studios
09:37is the price point.
09:39Whether you decide
09:40you want to get
09:40either one of the leather faces,
09:41Slaughter Mask,
09:42or Pretty Woman,
09:43if you want to get yourself
09:44The Cook,
09:44The Hitchhiker,
09:46all of them sit at
09:47around that $24.99 price.
09:49In fact,
09:49the only thing that's
09:50higher in price
09:51is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
09:52dinner scene.
09:53That's going to include
09:54Sally Hardesty
09:55as well as Grandpa.
09:57That set's going to be
09:57selling for $69.99,
09:59so it's going to be
10:00a little bit more,
10:00but obviously for that
10:01little bit more,
10:02you're getting a whole lot more.
10:04These figures are really cool,
10:05especially the fact
10:06that they have
10:06a functioning gimmick.
10:08Still, I feel, though,
10:08like being that we've already
10:09had the leather face
10:10where he squeezed the legs,
10:11he swung his arms up,
10:12and he flailed around
10:14his chainsaw,
10:15I feel like with, again,
10:16The Pretty Woman,
10:17bringing in something different
10:19would then also give collectors
10:21more of a maybe nudge
10:22in the direction of saying,
10:23yeah, hey, you know what?
10:24I wasn't really going to be
10:25picking up The Pretty Woman,
10:26but being that the torso
10:27can swivel or spin
10:29rather than just
10:30squeezing the legs.
10:32There's something different
10:33that this one does
10:34that the Slaughter Mask
10:35didn't do before.
10:36Again, these are all
10:37available right now
10:39on Trick or Treat Studio's
10:39website, $24.99,
10:41not a bad price at all.
10:43Let me know down below
10:43in the comments section
10:44if you guys have been
10:45collecting any of them.
10:46If you guys did enjoy this video,
10:47you can do it a saw
10:48and throw it a like.
10:49You guys want to stick around
10:50for more so?
10:50I hope so.
10:51I hope so.
10:52We're going to have more videos
10:53obviously lined up
10:54and coming your way,
10:55so I hope you guys
10:55are going to be coming back
10:56for those.
10:57As always,
10:57thanks for watching.
10:58See you guys next time.
