NECA Michael Myers

[Bradysd]

I think we might see an ultimate Loomis, but I doubt they will do an ultimate Laurie from Halloween 2. I don?t think it would be a big enough seller. The retro cloth format makes more sense for her anyway because of the hospital gown.

Interesting set of figures, but I can't personally stand those Mego style releases.

I really hope we get an ultimate Loomis eventually. It would be such a waste if they have his likeness rights but never do it.

The sculpts on these are excellent, but the clothes almost always turn out so bad. Those coveralls on Michael look horrendous. I gave up on the retro cloth Neca figures after the quality control disaster that was Snake Plissken.

I'm happy enough with my 2018 Retroy Myers, and I have one of the Clark Griswalds from the retro line and he came out fine, I'm looking forward to this set. It may not be the most amazing looking, but it lets me branch out my Halloween collection and display with more than just countless Michaels.

They made her from the 2018 film. I could see an Ultimate of her as a possibility, especially since they have a sculpt already. Also this particular version of her would probably be fairly easy to tool. Her outfit is just a hospital gown so it would be fairly simple to make. Heck if anything they could probably do a two pack like they’re doing for the retro cloth line if they’re worried about her selling well enough (though I think she would sell either way).

The clothes are what they are for retro cloth line. They don’t normally turn out the greatest, but at the same time they’re meant to be going for that older Mego look and aren’t supposed to be super high end. I think that’s why NECA calls their plastic figure line Ultimates versus the retro cloth figures being called that. I think more goes into the Ultimate line, but these are a fun offering for people who are into the style.

Man, I'd love a Laurie and Loomis in Neca's more traditional style. Not a fan of the cloth goods at all -- but the sculpts are nice.

Retro H2 Myers packaging art, by Jason Edmiston.

He does great work! The artwork is my favorite thing about this line. I actually like the boxed releases too when they use the original poster art. They resemble old vhs boxes. Except for the 2 packs which are their own thing. There is a lot of inconsistency in this line lol.

 

[MaulFan]

Indeed, this seems lined up for clamshell package where the 2018 retro was in the modern box style.

Updating my collection display and decided Michael should get some display time outside of Halloween.

Those look great. I’m not a big fan of all these retro figures everyone is pushing out, but if it’s Halloween related, count me in

 

[Pure_Terror]

Same here!

Hey all, right ahead of toy fair I figured I’d show off my updated Myers customs. Morning great, just prefer over the stock paint jobs. Enjoy

Wow! Those turned out really good. Well done!

Now to get rid of this kink in my neck....

 

[guyver1]

[zombieshane]

Kind of a given but Randy confirmed we’re getting figures for Halloween Kills.

Might be able to swap the head to the standard figure.
