![]() ![]() The reason Chucky looks so bad in certain shots of the trailer is because it is actually the scarred doll digitally altered to look unscarred. There was a backlash against the doll’s appearance after the trailer was released, but they were holding off revealing the scarred look until its release, which was a surprise that actually worked. Maybe the big smile in this photo is a little bit much bad, but I like the doll in the movie, and the one on the poster holding the knife is mostly my favorite look on Chucky, and I wish they could have made that version of the buddi doll accurate to the poster. In Curse it at least makes a sort of sense because that film is about tying all the loose ends of the franchise together, so it’s incredibly appropriate to have both unscarred and scarred Chucky in that one. Chucky’s appearance has no real bearing on Seed of Chucky. What I don’t really understand is why the look continued after that movie, because it is sort of a one-off joke. The title and concept reference The Bride of Frankenstein, so to give Chucky a Frankenstein-ish appearance is genius. ![]() It’s a horror comedy and it makes perfect sense.

Most of the changes are subtle and made for the sake of functionality more than anything else.Ĭhild’s Play 3 sees the first redesign, which is much tamer compared to everything that would follow it.

However, the design for Chucky was inspired by the My Buddy dolls that were introduced by toy conglomerate Hasbro in the late-80s. Certain instances include the footsteps left in powder, the running through the halls, and Andy's (played by Alex Vincent) whispered conversations before Chucky is truly revealed.
