Also, there are lots of unavoidable spoilers in this list. Other descriptions should be self-explanatory. When Chucky comes to life, a different doll with more articulation is usually used, and that doll is referred to as the “killer” version. The term “neutral” is used below to refer to Chucky when he is pretending to be a lifeless toy.

In general, Chucky has two main looks in each movie. This list ranks every major look Chucky has had, from awful to amazing. Additionally, within each movie and TV episode Chucky may have multiple looks depending on the situation. Sometimes the changes are subtle, but sometimes they’re drastic. With every movie and TV show, Chucky’s appearance changes. Sometimes a great movie like Child’s Play 2 (1990) doesn’t provide the best look for the diminutive slasher. But that doesn’t mean the character hasn’t evolved over time.

Having the same pair bring the character to life since 1988 adds a fantastic continuity of character not present in many long-running horror franchises. Excluding the 2019 remake of Child’s Play, Chucky is the only major American horror villain to be written and performed by the same creative duo for over three decades: Don Mancini and Brad Dourif. Chucky is easily one of horror’s most iconic villains.
