00:00 NECA was there for the evolution of evil and NECA will be there when evil meets
00:04 its end. Here's a look at the brand-new NECA toys Halloween and the ultimate
00:08 Michael Myers.
00:10 [Music]
00:36 Four years after the events of Halloween Kills, Lori is living with her
00:40 granddaughter Allison and is finishing up writing her memoir. Michael Myers
00:43 hasn't been seen since. Lori after allowing the specter of Michael to
00:48 determine and drive the reality for decades has decided to liberate herself
00:52 from fear and rage and embraces life. But when a young man Corey Cunningham is
00:56 accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of
01:00 violence and terror that will force Lori to finally confront the evil she can't
01:05 control once and for all. And to think Michael went from being a menace to
01:10 victims to being a victim of muggings. Before of course we get a closer look
01:13 what was that all about? The Halloween ends Michael Myers. Let me send a big
01:17 thank you first to the folks at NECA toys that did provide the sample we
01:20 could have a look at. The Halloween ends Michael Myers is now available in
01:24 retail stores and online if you guys are interested to get this one for yourself.
01:27 The figure though stands about seven and a half inches in height. Yes he does or
01:31 is about 19 centimeters tall. Trekking now through Michael's trilogy here's
01:37 what the other figures that we've gotten from NECA toys from the new Blumhouse
01:39 trilogy. Here's what he looks like with a 2018 Michael Myers. There was all also a
01:43 follow-up figure. This one was released in 2021. The build is the same though
01:49 they have changed and re-sculpted the head sculpt completely giving us a very
01:53 different looking Michael Myers from the one that we got from 2018. Following to
01:56 that we of course did get ourselves the Halloween kills Michael Myers which did
02:00 then start to give him a much leaner looking body which seems to also be
02:03 something that the newer one adopts as well. And of course we can't have all
02:07 these Michael Myers without a Laurie Strode that's just been pining for 40
02:10 years waiting for him to escape. Hey speaking of trilogy Michael gets a
02:14 trilogy of knives you could say in aged orders. First of all he gets himself a
02:18 pretty clean looking butcher knife that doesn't look like it's been doing much
02:21 stabby stabby at all. If you prefer though your knife to have much more
02:25 blood then he also gets one that looks to be identical just with a whole lot
02:29 more blood along the bottom of the blade. And then if you wanted to have one aged
02:33 as Michael sits inside the sewer just waiting to be mugged by Corey Cunningham
02:36 there's also as well a rusted knife. I really like the look of this knife just
02:41 because it goes really well with the look of Michael Myers of course the way
02:44 he is right now. The state of the shape also works quite well to have a rusted
02:48 knife with him. I'm glad to see that NECA did include this. I mean to look at this
02:51 this has just been painted but I mean it just does look like it has a rusted look
02:56 to it. The handle itself is still pretty clean but I'm really impressed with the
03:00 way they've actually painted the blade this time around. The figure as well
03:03 comes includes some swappable hands. Now as he is right now he does have
03:07 technically gripping hands of both sides of his body of course even though that
03:10 one's actually missing a few digits but he also as well comes in clue with a
03:13 couple of all their hands as well. Now these hands he does have a relaxed hand.
03:18 I guess we'll kind of look at the hands first on this side. He comes with a
03:20 relaxed hand so if you don't necessarily want to have the figure displayed with
03:23 both gripping hands there's quite a lot of blood still settled on the surface of
03:27 the skin. I don't think that Michael's doing much washing of anything when he's
03:31 down in the sewer. If anything I think the sewer is just gonna make him stink
03:33 even worse. But really dirty filthy looking hands again these just simply
03:38 plug in by the included pegs of course on the other ends of his forearms. And
03:42 then he also has two hands for this side. Both the hands of course if you were to
03:47 count them normally you would count to five you'd only be counting to three
03:50 this time because of course Michael does have his last two fingers blown off by
03:53 Laurie Strode. Now while looking at them they look almost identical. This hand
03:57 right here is actually more of a relaxed hand whereas this hand is actually kind
04:02 of a more more gripping I don't want to say a triggering hand but a gripping
04:06 hand that you could technically still take yourself a knife and while normally
04:09 he would have actually had four fingers to wrap around the handle you could
04:13 still have if you wanted to the hand holding the knife. Although it looks a
04:16 little awkward just because again like he's missing a few digits on the end. Is
04:20 this the little piggy that went to the market? The one that stayed home? I'm
04:23 trying to think of the order in which you usually count piggies. Anyways he is
04:27 missing two of them. Those last sausage fingers are completely omitted on this
04:30 figure's hands. But again you get three interchangeable hands not
04:34 counting of course the one he's already got currently on the ends of his
04:37 forearms. The figure also comes in clue with a pumpkin. I really like the look of
04:41 this pumpkin. It does in a way for me remind me of the Halloween curse of
04:44 Michael Myers pumpkin. It does have some really interesting carving. I like the
04:48 way they painted the inside of it. Unfortunately though it doesn't have any
04:51 illumination. There's no switch or anything on this that will turn on and
04:54 off the pumpkin but it does look like a nice little jack-o'-lantern.
04:57 It's sculpted in even such a way that it kind of looks like you can remove the lid.
05:00 I cannot remove the lid. And then the last thing that the figure comes also
05:04 included with is an interchangeable head sculpt. Depending on how much decay you
05:09 really want to have Michael Myers sporting, there's this one. I'm just gonna
05:13 pick the figure up right now and show you guys where we kind of start things
05:15 with. There's this one that has obviously decay. I mean the mask just continues to
05:20 fall apart. But if you look at the two really the hair is a lot more slicked
05:24 down or just fallen off. And this one does have a little bit more fuller hair
05:28 on the top. There seems to be as well as much darker paint here on the side of
05:32 the face that while still being on the original one there isn't as much of it.
05:36 What you could also really do too is if you wanted to you could use these head
05:41 sculpts and get yourself a second Michael Myers and have one displayed as
05:44 more decayed Mikey living in the sewer and one as Corey Cunningham posing as
05:49 the shape. Or what you can also do too - just gonna put the figure down here for
05:53 a second - grabbing a Halloween kills Michael Myers. It so happens to be the
05:58 case that you can also take the heads off any one of these and they use all
06:01 the same cylinder post. That then taking a Michael Myers head that comes included
06:06 with the Halloween ends release, you could in fact attach that onto the top
06:10 and just like that without the release of NECA having to put out a Corey
06:13 Cunningham. I don't know if we're actually gonna be getting a Corey
06:15 Cunningham. You do actually get yourself two shapes. One Corey Cunningham perhaps
06:19 although I think this head sculpt would work maybe a little bit better with this
06:22 one if you want to have this one displayed as Michael Myers and then this
06:25 one could be of course the copycat killer Corey Cunningham. Wow that's a lot of Z's.
06:29 So again like if you wanted to yeah you can just easily use the heads and really
06:34 I guess you could also do as well as take the other heads. I think I haven't
06:37 really checked these but yeah they work the exact same way. A post system so if
06:42 you want a much cleaner looking coverall I might usually just if I have really
06:46 both of these on the shelf I could really decide for myself I want to just
06:49 have one displayed as Corey Cunningham and of course using probably that mask
06:52 and I'll use then this one here with the more decayed Mikey. Putting those figures
06:57 then off to the side we're gonna bring them back a little bit later. Picking the
07:00 figure up right now he has the same build as the Halloween kills Michael
07:04 Myers even though now he's missing a head. It's a little bit leaner of a build
07:07 although it still has the softer plastic that they're using here. One thing I did
07:11 notice though is that the Halloween kills Michael Myers had a lot less
07:15 squishiness to his torso where the newer one from Halloween ends there's a lot
07:20 more softness to it. There's a lot more torso space. He actually in fact kind of
07:25 looks a little bit more like the 2018 or 2021 release of Halloween 2018 Michael
07:30 Myers just by the more padding that he actually has in his body. By this point
07:34 on obviously his coveralls, his boilers are really again quite decayed like his
07:39 mask so he's got kind of all this sort of I don't know if it's just moss it's
07:43 just burnt remains of what what has happened in Halloween kills but it's all
07:47 sort of more discolored in white. He has all these bullet holes, entry wounds and
07:51 all the other things he inflicted in Halloween kills but it's a much paler
07:54 looking pair of coveralls especially when you say compare it against the
07:57 Halloween kills. Halloween kills had the more notable wetness the the burnt area
08:02 that he had on the top of the shoulder and again it kind of carries that over
08:05 again when he gets to the more four years later Michael Myers where again
08:09 like it's a kind of more of a white finish. The rest of the body in the build
08:12 is exactly the same so if you were to already have yourself a 2018 Michael
08:16 Myers, a Halloween kills Michael Myers, you already kind of know by now the
08:19 territory that you're covering. The arms are gonna be exactly the same as well as
08:23 the lower legs. I think in fact the feet are also exactly the same as well still
08:26 sporting peg holes the undersides of the figures feet. I didn't really spend a
08:31 whole lot of time actually showing you guys what the head sculpt looked like.
08:33 Far be it for me to miss that one crucial point because once again Neck
08:37 has delivered a really good Michael Myers. While not really loving, I will
08:41 admit I saw Halloween ends once again this year thinking maybe I was wrong.
08:45 Maybe there was a good possibility that I maybe missed something that I didn't
08:49 maybe spot the first time. No, I still didn't like the movie but I will say
08:53 though like Neck has always done really a great job when it comes to these
08:56 Michael Myers figures. The newer one Halloween ends in fact I actually kind of
09:00 think I like a little bit more than the Halloween kills Michael Myers mask. It
09:04 was still a good-looking mask but I like a lot more of the contrasting and a lot
09:08 more of the war wounds that he has all over his face. I think it's a much better
09:11 looking mask than the one we got here from Halloween kills. Then again if you
09:15 wanted to you just simply pop the head off the ball peg. I want to say
09:19 ball ball joint but it's not really even a ball joint and we're just gonna pop
09:22 then the new head in place just make sure it's snapped all the way in. Again
09:26 show you the difference between the two. There's a lot more whites what what
09:30 what's left at least of the white on the shapes face and there's a lot less of it
09:34 here on this. I mean it gets more to a darker gray and definitely really really
09:37 you can see the state the shape is in. There's a lot there's so much left of
09:41 little less left of his mask than it was before. Now again when it comes to the
09:46 actual figure while still having the same basic build is gonna have as well
09:50 all the same articulation points as well. So Michael Myers like all the cases
09:53 before is gonna have the head rotates all the way around even though he really
09:57 does have a higher collar doesn't get in the way at all of having the figures
10:01 head move up and down and also back and forth. So even if you want to have
10:04 Michael Myers suspending a nurse that just got a promotion against the wall
10:07 and sort of just staring at her you can do that as well. The figure does also
10:12 have hinges in his in his shoulders so you can bring those arms out at not I
10:16 would say at 90 degrees but a little less probably about 45. You can take
10:19 those arms and rotate them all the way around. He has a double hinge on the
10:22 elbow which is good to see. Hands as well rotate also all the way around. Now
10:27 again because this is all softer plastic in here he still retains what you could
10:31 call an upper torso crunch. It doesn't rotate or anything like that because
10:35 it's all self-contained. The figure does have splits on his legs which are on
10:38 hinge joints of course. You can take those legs and move them forward you can
10:41 move them back. A swivel at the top of the thigh single hinge again on the knee.
10:45 You can rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate the lower leg and you can hinge the feet
10:50 back and forth this way and back and forth this way as well. Again when it
10:54 comes to these figures NECA has really been doing a great job whether you like
10:57 the new trilogy or not I'm not really a big fan of them myself. Getting then the
11:01 other head that we actually need here from Michael Myers for Halloween kills
11:04 because of course if I'm gonna have them all displayed I want to make sure at
11:07 least that Michael Myers hasn't been decapitated. All that stuff happens in
11:11 H2O but hey we don't need to have H2O part of canon anymore we'll just
11:15 completely wipe that off and again we'll just go ahead and get the other Michael
11:18 Myers here displayed. Here's what he looks like. I don't know why for some
11:21 reasons the Halloween kills Michael Myers always seems to have the hardest
11:25 time to stand when it comes at least when it comes to putting these guys on
11:28 display. Halloween kills Michael Myers there's the 2021 Michael Myers there's
11:32 the 2018 Michael Myers now both of these guys were actually from the 2018 film
11:36 and of course once again there's grandma Laurie Strode still waiting still pining
11:40 for the shape to escape. What was that all about? All in all though great
11:43 looking figures. I think when it comes to certainly will will we see a Corey
11:48 Cunningham? I mean NECA really could still get the most mileage out of their
11:51 mold and simply just rerelease this figure again with a slightly
11:55 different shape mask or just release a Corey Cunningham with the scarecrow
11:58 mask. I'd actually still be open for that. I didn't mind Corey Cunningham in the
12:02 movie I just thought he was handled really badly. You can't introduce a
12:05 character that plays a significant role for the story arc from the final film
12:09 introduce him in the same film that you actually then write him out of and it
12:13 just made no sense. Corey Cunningham really and a side tangent of course the
12:16 Halloween ends Michael Myers because of course we're kind of wrapping up things
12:19 with that. Corey Cunningham I feel should have been introduced in 2018 or at the
12:22 very least Halloween kills and slowly build him slowly and you know establish
12:27 him as a character before he becomes a copycat killer. Still though nice work on
12:32 NECA's part even though we are getting basically the same build of body as what
12:36 we got with the other Michael Myers from before at least they have once again
12:39 like the film's shape mask continued to decay the mask and at it at a state
12:43 really where it's kind of hard to identify that that was ever really a
12:46 Don Post Michael Myers or William Shatner Captain Kirk mask. Still nice
12:51 work once again from the folks over at NECA toys. You know the irony in all of
12:55 this is that even though I do prefer Halloween kills as my favorite film from
12:58 the new Halloween Blumhouse trilogy I actually think I like Halloween ends
13:02 Michael Myers the most. There's just a lot of cool details going on. The old
13:07 decay of of course the boilers that he's wearing not to mention the way that the
13:10 mask is just falling apart. Between really honestly the two head sculpts
13:14 that he gets the one that I've got him currently displayed with here in final
13:17 looks is actually my least favorite. I'm probably just gonna be reverting it back
13:20 to the one he first comes with when he get him out of his plastic prison but
13:23 honestly though I think I like this one just more than the Halloween kills
13:26 Michael Myers. What I might just end up doing is taking the other head sculpt
13:30 and swapping it out with the Halloween kills Michael Myers getting clean
13:34 coveralls and in the process as well I can almost kind of makeshift pretend
13:37 that that's Corey Cunningham until of course do we ever are we ever gonna be
13:41 getting a Corey Cunningham from NECA toys maybe maybe there's mileage I think
13:45 still to be made when it comes to NECA releasing something from the
13:48 Halloween films whether we are gonna be getting Corey Cunningham with a
13:51 scarecrow mask whether we are gonna be getting a Corey Cunningham and Michael
13:54 Myers two-pack along with a motorcycle that they can ride together what was
13:58 that all about I am hoping that we are gonna be getting a Corey Cunningham
14:01 whether you like or hate the character but what do you guys think of the
14:04 Halloween ends Michael Myers when it comes to certainly having him and the
14:08 other others compared what would you say is the best trilogy Michael Myers that
14:12 we've gotten from NECA toys is it this one is it the Halloween kills or is it
14:15 the one we got from 2018 whether we got the one from 2018 or the thinking of the
14:19 one from 2021 the reissue once again a big thank you to the folks over at NECA
14:23 toys that did come through and provide the sample of the brand new Halloween
14:26 ends Michael Myers which as of right now is available in retail stores and online
14:30 should you be interested to get the shape for yourself if you guys enjoyed
