00:00 one could only appreciate the irony if a store was stocking these several shelves
00:04 back behind the rows here's a look at the brand-new trick-or-treat studios
00:07 children of the corn Malachi and Isaac
00:28 trick-or-treat studios is proud to present the officially licensed
00:32 children of the corn 3.7 inch figure 2 pack the 2 pack of retro scale action
00:36 figures features the two main antagonist followers of he who walks behind the
00:40 rose no no no no need to hide your eyes everybody I I know there's a rumor going
00:45 around right now that the fierceness of his face would all strike us dead but
00:49 it's plastic figures right we have nothing to worry about right right right
00:54 before of course we get a closer look at the new retro children of the corn
00:57 Malachi and Isaac if I can I'd like to send a big thank you to the folks over
01:01 trick-or-treat studios that were kind enough to provide the sample we can have
01:03 a look at hey now this set by the way is available on their site right now it's
01:07 $24.99 if you guys are interested you can click the link down below in the
01:11 video description Malachi is the taller of the two for obvious reasons so he's
01:15 gonna actually be about three and a half inches in height or about nine
01:19 centimeters tall then on to leader Isaac which is funny that he's the leader of
01:23 the children and yet the actor that actually portrayed Isaac was well into
01:26 his 20s when he first played the role Isaac is shorter and he's actually
01:29 three inches in height or he's about I would say eight centimeters tall yeah
01:35 John Franklin was actually 23 when he played the role of Isaac he would then
01:38 also go on to play cousin it in the 90s Adams family reboot now we know how they
01:42 feel about adults what's their view on clowns bring a couple of clown retro
01:46 figures we've gotten from trick-or-treat studios first here's what the characters
01:48 look like with art the clown I don't know size wise if you're looking to get
01:52 these characters and hope that they could be displayed accordingly with
01:54 other retro figures they don't scale maybe as well their kids yes but still
01:58 they're a little bit too short when you wanted to compare them say with art the
02:01 clown could you imagine the blast they'd have hanging it with art the clown or
02:04 here's another sinister clown is what they also look like with the retro house
02:07 of a thousand corpses captain Spalding the good book has blessed this set with
02:11 quite a lot of accessories although you'll notice with Malachi he has more
02:15 accessories than he has hands maybe we'll look at actually his accessories
02:18 first my favorite of the things that come in clue with Malachi he comes a
02:21 clue with his little sickle the sickle I'm guessing has been molded here in
02:24 brown plastic and then the blade it's a stop joke I gotta stop joke at the blade
02:28 itself has been painted nicely here in silver and does fit into his hands now
02:32 he does have gripping hands luckily on both sides I'd noticed though on one
02:36 side of his hand that the grip is a little bit smaller and better
02:39 accommodates I think holding the sickle let's in fact actually grab Malachi right
02:42 now and get the sickle into his hand by the way the plastic on these hands is
02:46 fairly soft so if you're having a bit of a struggle to get the hands to hold the
02:50 accessories you can either just pry them a little bit more you can also as well
02:53 heat them in hot water he also comes included with his knife which size-wise
02:58 that's a pretty big knife it's molded again here in black plastic again you've
03:01 got the blade here painted nicely here in silver but with the fact he also
03:04 comes a clue with the cross I'm less likely probably to display Malachi I
03:08 think with the knife we'll just put that off to the side more in favor I think of
03:11 displaying the character with the cross the cross as you can see has the spikes
03:15 on the end molded not only nicely but painted extremely well this can also fit
03:19 into his hand as well now because this grip is a little bit wider you'll find
03:23 it's you'll have an easier time of getting him to hold the cross again if
03:27 you're having a difficulty obviously you can always go the route of heating this
03:30 in hot water or again just a few passes with the hairdryer we'll go back to
03:36 Malachi in a second first let's look at the accessories that come to play with
03:39 Isaac speaking of the good book the character comes a clue this Bible the
03:42 Bible does have at least the suggestion that there's pages inside the book as
03:46 they're painted differently from the front and the back of the cover the book
03:49 itself doesn't have anything noted on the front to actually tell us that it is
03:52 the Bible but it does fit also into his hands now he also has included the staff
03:56 which has a very similar type of cross than the one that comes included with
03:59 Malachi again you got little spikes down on the top really nice-looking staff
04:03 when it comes to displaying it with the character you'll notice that he has a
04:07 slightly smaller gripping hand and then he has a slightly wider gripping hand
04:11 obviously I went with the route of displaying the book on this side and he
04:15 holds it fairly well I didn't have to necessarily worry about maybe molding
04:19 the hand around the book it seems to actually hold it you can see pretty good
04:22 and then of course you can also take yourself the staff and then just clip it
04:25 into his other hand which unfortunately with all then the accessories that we've
04:28 counted four hands five accessories unfortunately then leaves behind the low
04:33 knife we'll have to kind of give it to somebody else oh hey aren't the clowns
04:36 over here maybe it's a good idea to give him the knife don't give him the knife
04:39 whatever you do don't give him the knife let's put the knife off to the side
04:41 let's go back to Malachi here so we'll just remove all the accessories we'll
04:46 just put those off to the side you'll notice that the character is pretty
04:48 posed in the sense that the one back leg is arched like this and only is it
04:52 arched but they've also bent back the foot neither one of these figures by the
04:56 way have pickles the undersides of their feet if you have them in quite the right
04:59 spot if you have his with his legs straight forward like this then you'll
05:03 notice he little bit of wobbling happens here so really when it comes to display
05:07 Malachi you really want to bring the art the foot back like this follow the form
05:11 follow the form I just want to make sure again like his art even though his shoe
05:14 is arched like this if you have the foot back far enough that he doesn't have any
05:18 real difficulty to stand head sculpt is really good on this one I'm glad to see
05:22 that they actually gave him an expression as opposed to a neutral face
05:25 I mean Isaac already has a neutral expression why not go a little crazier
05:28 and zanier with Malachi head sculpt is really good on this if you wanted to
05:32 look to the more the right of a retro figure he does have the long locks of
05:35 ginger there on the back nice red hair actually his hair his shirt and his
05:39 pants are all very shiny lends a little bit to the idea that these look like
05:43 retro figures from the 80s I mean I don't think we really would have had
05:46 really retro figures of the children of the corn back in the 80s certainly not
05:49 something that they would be selling in Kmart stores he does have little
05:53 suspenders those are nicely painted a little bit of silver added in there as
05:55 well everything really on the figure is nicely painted if you overlook the fact
05:59 that just again like the limited articulation goes with the territory of
06:02 these being retro figures so like Malachi for example his head only just
06:05 rotates back and forth I don't want to rotate all the way around whether he's
06:09 evil child or not that would surely kill him he also has swirling in his arm so
06:13 those rotate all the way around no swivel at all in the wrist and then his
06:17 egg his his legs move back and forth as well so again like you can have him with
06:21 the legs straight like this but really to get the best effect and get him to
06:24 ensure that he's not gonna fall over you really want to make sure yeah the foot
06:27 the one leg is brought back a little bit further on to now Isaac let's go ahead
06:32 and just remove the accessories right now we'll put it off to the side Isaac I
06:36 really like the head sculpt on this one his complexion is certainly a lot paler
06:39 than Malachi painted really well as the eyes the eyebrows he does have a hat
06:44 although the hat isn't removable it's all part of the one mold I don't think
06:47 he necessarily need to have removal hat when I think of Isaac I think of the
06:50 character right away I always having a hat and then he has a very dark colored
06:53 shirt equally dark jacket as well as his lower pants because his jacket has to
06:57 sit further down unfortunately they have to cut into it when it comes to the
07:00 articulation so you see on the bottom of his jacket like this section right here
07:04 is carved in this section right here is also cut in just to ensure again like
07:08 the character can actually sit now I don't know long-term plans if trick-or-treat
07:12 studios planning to release like a retro inspired vehicles for children of the
07:15 corn could you imagine a horse-drawn carriage with rocket firing missiles on
07:19 either side would that be ridiculous I mean if it was an 80s toy line they'd
07:22 have to include vehicles that had rocket firing missiles that just be ridiculous
07:27 though but he's a little bit smaller I do really like the detailing on this guy
07:30 and really of the two I think Isaac is a nicer looking figure again articulation
07:34 is very limited so only five points five points get afforded to these figures
07:37 head rotation arm rotation back and forth and again like the sitting
07:42 position if he wants to sit inside a rocket firing missile horse-drawn
07:45 carriage come on trick-or-treat studios you got to make it happen although nice
07:48 looking figures unfortunately though one thing even though they are again kids
07:52 bring back in those other retro clown figures that we've got before scaling
07:57 them obviously with any of the house of a thousand corpses or the art the clown
08:00 that the only two other lines that we've gone I think from well trick-or-treat
08:04 studios we are gonna be looking at some of the other retro figures like candy
08:07 corn and we're also gonna be looking at haunts but like if you wanted to stick
08:11 with the scaling of trying to get these guys to match up with the ones that
08:13 we've already got from other lines from other franchises that of course
08:16 trick-or-treat at studios have done for scaling wise they're gonna knock they're
08:20 gonna come up a little bit short literally and figuratively they're not
08:23 quite the same size but yeah if you did want to have the characters just
08:26 displayed on the shelf I do hope at the very least we might get more retro
08:29 children of the corn characters because certainly enough kids going around
08:32 killing people over 18 I mean I yeah I'm 18 I'm over 18 I've been over 18 for a
08:38 while so I might wanna just watch myself but I do like this set quite a lot quite
08:42 a lot of accessories I mean again more than you'll ever really need the set is
08:45 currently again available over on their site for $24.99 and it is currently in
08:49 stock as of right now and here I was thinking I wasn't too far behind in the
08:52 children of the corn franchise yeah I know I missed out a few of the sequels
08:56 some of the later ones I just looked online though there was like 11 of these
08:59 things made I dropped off way way long ago like 1999 with children of the corn
09:03 666 Isaac's return in fact all of the first six children of the corn films I
09:07 still had at one point on VHS if that gives you guys any idea of how old the
09:11 person is behind the camera so I'm a little behind on the times if it's
09:15 anything like Amityville though it just means that the later sequels probably
09:18 would have been watered down very cheaply made and probably only found on
09:21 to be going back though to the classics the original children of the corn
09:25 featured of course Malachi and Isaac nicely represented here from trick-or-treat
09:28 studios the articulation is the charm of these characters because of course
09:32 they're only having five points of it they also include some nice retro
09:34 inspired accessories that we see in the film and overall like the figures as a
09:38 whole if you can overlook the fact that they're just a little undersized with
09:41 some of the other retro figures that we've looked at from before they
09:44 actually scale I think a little bit better with some of those newer stuff
09:46 that we're getting from tots like the candy corn for example and the haunt to
09:50 other retro figures that we're also getting that are available over on their
09:53 site both Isaac and Malachi the children of the corn set is available on their
09:57 site right now for $24.99 and the good news is you don't have to kill anybody
10:01 over 18 what do you guys think of this set let me know down below in the
10:03 comments section and let me know when was the last time you've seen a children
