FunTranscript
00:00Well it's a good thing the railing's there. Surely with all the head-rocking, he'd roll down the stairs.
00:04Here's your spooky spot on the Royal Bobble's John Carpenter's Halloween Michael Myers Bobblehead.
00:30Leaning over the stair railing, Michael's presence is both haunting and nostalgic.
00:41At his feet lies a chilling nod to the film, the ghost sheet with Bob's glasses,
00:45a grim reminder of one of his infamous kills, adding an extra layer of authenticity
00:49and a homage to one of the most unforgettable scenes of the original Halloween film.
00:53The ideal collectible for Halloween enthusiasts, classic horror movie collectors and bobblehead aficionados,
00:58this Michael Myers Bobblehead captures the essence of the horror genre.
01:02Display it proudly to this commemorative film that defined horror.
01:06See anything you like?
01:07See yourself maybe getting your hands on the Royal Bobble's Michael Myers with railing and adding it to your collection?
01:11The good news is it's available right now.
01:13The good news also, it's available at Royal Bobble's shop for $31.95.
01:17Speaking of Royal Bobble's, I'd like to thank the team there that provided the sample we could have a look at.
01:21Michael Myers with railing, and I'll be bringing into many other faces of Michael Myers in a moment,
01:26but the one with the railing is going to stand at eight inches exactly.
01:30This bobbling version of Michael is 20 centimeters tall.
01:34Is it him?
01:35It's really kind of hard to say because we've gotten three stellar Michael Myers releases from Royal Bobble's.
01:40One with a bush, one with a sheet, and now with a railing.
01:43From the head sculpt standpoint, I think like this one's a little bit more closer to the one we got with the bush.
01:48The one where we looked at the sheet seems like it's a slightly smaller head, a little wider on the sides.
01:53But this one and this one actually have not only just the mask in common, but both of them are actually wielding knives.
01:58Whoa, being joined by the spooky candle.
02:01Also being joined inside the box along with the bobble head of Michael Myers, you get yourself a slip.
02:05This slip is just to advertise some of the other things that you can get at Royal Bobble's.
02:08If you like Michael Myers, you're fine.
02:10You'll want to continue the trend of collecting horror bobble heads.
02:12Well, they also have Pennywise the Clown, they have Ghostface, they even have Slimer.
02:16If you like something a little bit more realistically scary, they also have Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, and Joe Biden.
02:22So there's some other options available as well.
02:24More at www.royalbobbles.com.
02:27Let's move the slip off to the side here, picking up Michael Myers.
02:30One of the things I really like about this release of him is that there's several nods to the film.
02:34Obviously, the fact that he's standing on top of the railing, he's got, of course, the bloody knife in his hand.
02:38You can see it's already got caked blood.
02:40Ooh, don't want to add any unnecessary additional blood to that.
02:43But you can see there's some nice blood caked on the blade of Michael Myers.
02:46The thing I also really like about this, though, is if you look behind the railing, you can see that not only there's Bob's sheet,
02:51but his glasses as well.
02:53That's a really nice little touch.
02:55I had to be really careful because when I was taking this out of its tray, there was also a secondary piece of Styrofoam.
03:00I'm just bringing in the Styrofoam right now.
03:02And it was tucked in there.
03:04When I was trying to pull this out, it was actually pulling against the lens of the glasses.
03:08So I wanted to be careful.
03:09And I would even say this as well to you.
03:11If you're looking to get this bobblehead for yourself, maybe you find it's easier to lift the Styrofoam.
03:16I just dropped it.
03:17Lift the Styrofoam up first before you start to pull it out.
03:20Because, again, it's going to catch against Bob's glasses.
03:22See anything you like?
03:23Bob certainly won't be able to see anything.
03:25He's not going to have his glasses.
03:26Oh, right.
03:27And he's also dead as well.
03:28Of course, we've got the sheets there.
03:29They're nicely colored.
03:30They're a little bit different of a shade of white than the railings in front of it.
03:33And also as well, instead of actually doing a translucent lens, they decided instead to paint it white.
03:37I don't really feel like, especially for this being resin, doing this in a translucent probably wouldn't have worked as well.
03:43I can understand why they would have decided to settle on white instead.
03:46Of course, Michael Myers is standing on top of a floor.
03:48The thing I like, though, is that they also painted around the floor.
03:51So everything around this looks finished.
03:53On the bottom of the bobble head, if I turn this around, you've got yourself four rubberized feet in the adjacent corners.
03:59Royal bobbles front and center.
04:00Also as well, there's a QR code.
04:02You want to scan the QR code?
04:03By all means, go ahead and do that.
04:05You can't really scan a QR code because it doesn't really have hands.
04:08It has spiritual hands, but it's just a complicated matter.
04:10It's just too much to kind of get into right now.
04:12So again, you've got some rubberized feet.
04:14Michael Myers, though, on top there has his blue coveralls.
04:17I know some would say it's probably more of a spruce green,
04:19but it seems just more the trend that when you do Michael Myers collectibles,
04:23most of the time companies just end up going with blue.
04:25I think blue is fine.
04:26I don't want to nickel and dime what colors his coveralls should really be.
04:29Blue works perfectly fine.
04:31The coveralls are nicely painted.
04:32It looks like they probably started with a darker color and then they brushed on top of it the blue.
04:36Of course, he does have his now arm bends.
04:38The other Michael Myers, funny though enough, have all generally had straight arms.
04:42The one with the sheet and the one with the bush all kind of had the same body.
04:45So this is one Michael that's different from the others,
04:48not only because he has the railing, not only because he has Bob's sheet in the glasses,
04:51but being that this Michael Myers does also have for the first time a bent arm.
04:55As for, of course, the head sculpt, I think this is one that's probably the closest to the one with the bush.
05:00I'm going to bring back in the bush so you guys can see.
05:02The thing that was notable about this one is that the head seems a little bit longer.
05:07I'm going to put the one right here with the bush.
05:09Let's grab the one with the sheet here.
05:11If you were to compare the two,
05:13am I the only one that sees that maybe the one behind the sheet?
05:16I mentioned this earlier when we looked at the review of HIT.
05:18You can see that it looks like it's a little bit more of a shorter head and it's a little wider.
05:23So it doesn't look like they're using the molds again and again and again.
05:26Now, obviously, again, like this one had the straight arms.
05:28This one now has the bent arms.
05:30I think the paint on all of them is really good.
05:32Let's just actually move this one out of the way for right now.
05:35I'll bring him back in a second.
05:37You can still see eyes, but the eyes are a little harder to see just because they're a little higher up in the sockets of the mask.
05:42Of course, you've got yourself the little darker colors that they've added there as well.
05:45It catches just the right amount of light.
05:47You can see it just reflects off those eyeballs just really nicely.
05:51It's there, but it's not there like front and center.
05:54Of course, the eyebrows were there as well, painted, not in the same color of gray, but a slightly darker shade of that.
05:59You've got the torn off sideburns there on the side,
06:01the combed back hair with a notable little horn, the little devil horns there on the sides of his mask.
06:06People always try to really replicate that when they design their own masks and six-scale figure head sculpts.
06:11Now, Michael Myers had, of course, the wrapping of the plastic just to protect his head from bobbling around inside the packaging.
06:18The head, if you were to look inside of this, has the spring.
06:21The spring is just at the top of the neck, and that connects to the inside of the head.
06:25That's the thing that really does all the bobbling.
06:27This would be one of those things that you'd really want to keep on the shelf pristine like this.
06:31Don't be one of those people that likes to have your bobble heads inside of cars.
06:34This one being resin, it's going to break right away.
06:36The blade would be something that I would think would be the first thing that would break,
06:39just because, again, that's the furthest thing away from Michael's body.
06:42But again, the head sculpt looks really good.
06:44It's not really that much different from the Bush release, and I don't think it necessarily needs to be either.
06:48Really, Royal Baubles could easily have just re-released the same head with all the three releases,
06:53and just changed, of course, the body.
06:55This body at least is different than the other two that we've already had a look at.
06:58The blood is really about the same.
07:00Again, we're going to bring back the Bush release.
07:02Yeah, I would say the blood is about the same.
07:04Maybe this one's a little bit further up the blade,
07:06but again, I would imagine that that wouldn't be the same with every single Michael Myers.
07:10The one I have right now may have a different placement of blood than the one that you're getting,
07:13because I would imagine that they're probably going in there,
07:15and the talented artists are all very meticulously splattering the blood.
07:18How do you meticulously splatter blood?
07:20Sort of have to just kind of put it on there, and just take it just strong, like blow the blood up the blade.
07:26Nice-looking blood, though.
07:27They definitely know the color of blood.
07:29It doesn't look like a really bright red in some of the Giallo movies
07:32that I've been watching as of late.
07:34All in all, though, it's a really nice-looking Michael Myers.
07:36Some would prefer maybe this version of Michael over the other two,
07:39just because, again, he's doing a little bit more,
07:41and near more the finale of the film when he's chasing Laurie.
07:44Or, again, if you'd like to have Michael a little bit earlier into the movie,
07:47with, of course, the Bush, with the sheet.
07:49All nice releases from the folks over at Royal Baubles.
07:52Very much, again, like a higher premium piece.
07:55So because of that, the figures or the Baubles themselves
07:58are a little more into that $32 to $35 price, depending on where you're finding.
08:02But I still feel like for a $32 bobblehead,
08:05Royal Baubles is producing some of the best Royal Baubles around.
08:09If you're a big fan of Michael Myers, whether it be just during the Hallows season,
08:12or you just like to have your Halloween Michael Myers collectibles out all year round,
08:16definitely would want to be picking up these ones,
08:18if not for the other two that we've already had a look at.
08:21The one we looked at in this review with him standing behind the railing.
08:24One good thing is if you're looking to get your hands on this version of Michael Myers,
08:27you don't have to go to the McKenzie's.
08:29As far as I know, McKenzie's aren't even making bobbleheads anymore,
08:32but Royal Baubles are.
08:33It's pretty easy to come by, too.
08:35Many of the sites that I've seen listings of this Michael Myers with the railing
08:39have the price anywhere from $31.95 to around $34.
08:43Royal Baubles, in fact, has their own store site,
08:46and he was selling there for $31.95.
08:48And as of right now, at least, at the time of shooting this video,
08:51he's still available.
08:52A big thank you, once again, to the folks over at Royal Baubles
08:55that did provide this sample of Michael Myers with railing and bob sheet.
08:59See anything you like?
09:00I see a whole lot of things I like from the folks over at Royal Baubles.
09:03What do you guys think of this one?
09:04Let me know down below in the comments section.
09:05Of the three now that we've looked at of Michael Myers,
09:07which one would you say is your favorite?
09:09The one with the railing?
09:10The one with the bush?
09:11The one with the sheet?
09:12In all three cases, Michael Myers still has a hard time of hiding.
09:15Seeking is fine and good, but hiding seems to be one of his hardest things.
09:19If you guys did enjoy this video, do it a solid.
09:21Throw it a like.
09:22You guys want to stick around for more?
09:23I hope so.
09:25Even though I know we are kind of getting near the end of Spottober.
09:28I hope you guys have been enjoying this as much as I've been enjoying doing these reviews for you guys.
09:32But as we're kind of getting near the end of the hallows season,
09:35there are still going to be some spooky treats coming your way.
09:38So I hope you're coming back to this channel with ghoulish peepers peeled.
09:41As always, thanks for watching.
09:43See you guys next time.
