Trick Or Treat Studios: Halloween 1, 2, 4, 5 and 2018 Michael Myers

[Star-Crunch]

A young Mikey would be tempting.

I'd be in for both as they'll add some variety to the collection.

The other thing I heard today was that the body they're using for Art the Clown is a completely new one, not yet used on their other figures, which implies they may have other characters in the pipeline.

If ToTS keep this up they could become a major player in the 1/6 world.

Let’s just hope they don’t go the way of Star Ace.

I'm personally working on accessories for many of the upcoming figures. You're right... there are a lot of things in the works. It's very exciting I just wish I didn't have to wait for you guys to see everything!

I really dont want that to happen because then the god dam scalpers will think they can overinflate and charge Hot Toys style prices . ___NO!NO! & NO!

it is bad enough that ive seen USA Ebayers flogging off Sideshow 1/6 Myers for 500USD.

I have seen some TOTS Myers selling for 400++ If anyone is still looking for a regular 78 Myers Popculture in Australia has some in stock as well as the Exclusive Sam Hein version.Both are 199.00 AUD

You can still get the '78 for near retail on Ebay in the UK, if TOTS reissue these as often as they reissue their full size masks I don't think anyone should have an issue picking these up for a reasonable price.
I'm having too much fun putting together dioramas for these figures, Mikey can look a little dull in a museum pose after a while but a little backdrop really brings it to life.

 

[JacktheRipper]

They'll probably re-issue them every Halloween.

I'm liking their approach so far. They seem to listen to suggestions, unlike some of the bigger companies producing 1/6. The Halloween accessory set is something I don't think a lot of companies would do, such as Hot Toys who would rather add any accessories to a new figure to maximise their profits.

While I've seen people complain about the price for that set, I don't think it's extortionate for what it includes, and what you can make from it.

ToTS themselves still have all figures listed for sale. Mad About Horror, which I think is ToTS' designated UK retailer, also still have all versions listed at their regular prices.

I recall ToTS saying they would keep producing figures for as long they keep selling, so it sounded like they're more open ended than most companies in that regard.

I agree, and I think the mindset is this pre-determined notion that an accessory pack should probably be like 50% of the cost of the figure it goes to, but I think with some analysis of what you get for each price tag, it's not so crazy to cost what it does.

1978 Myers Figure - $120

- 1 Headsculpt
- 1 Body
- 1 Jumpsuit
- 1 Pair of Boots
- 1 Neck Wrap (mock shirt)
- 1 Knife
- 2 Right Hands
- 1 Left Hand


1978 Myers Accessory Pack - $90

- 1 Head with Sheet and Glasses
- 1 Jumpsuit
- 1 T-Shirt
- 3 Right Hands
- 3 Left Hands
- 1 Pumpkin with Lights
- 1 Tombstone
- 1 Telephone

Quantity of items is about equal if not higher in the accessory pack, and then if you look at it, the accessory pack has more pieces that require paint work and are unique and can't be used again on other figures. If anything, in comparison, I would almost say the figure is over priced because the big difference is a painted head, and it has a body, which is generic and probably used on every Myers figure and doesn't require any special work.

Having said that, I think the price on each is very reasonable and happy to pay it for what I'm getting, I'm just sharing how I analyze the value for my money when looking at each.

Also, to put it into perspective, the price of Doggie Doc's original limited edition custom telephone (with international delivery) was equivalent to almost 2/3 the price I'm paying for entire accessory set.

That's why this feels pretty reasonable. Not that I generally buy custom work, and don't think I have since Tony Mei's '66 Batman suit and cape.

I just got my 2018 Myers yesterday. I am blown away to be honest. I really wasn't expecting him to look as good as he does. I wonder if the SS version will be as good. I'll share some shots I took yesterday.

great shots.

Justin Mabry is the KING when it comes to Mikey, no one comes close. ALL of his Myers sculpts are GOLD.

I thought the 2018 movie was meh but damn that Mikey looks good!

i loved it. i'm very hard on movies of charters i have a history with...it delivered for me. and that was taking into consideration the #metoo theme in the film

 

[TheFiend]

The word on the Facebook street is that Justin Mabry confirmed a Halloween young Michael and a Halloween IV Jamie Lloyd.

Awesome. And to think years ago this would be unimaginable. We only had models and oddball novelty items to contend with when it came to horror figures. It's a good time to be a collector.

Yeah, that accessory pack is pretty killer. And I wasn't expecting the green coveralls at all. So you literally only need just a body to make another full figure - Ghost Bob. And a lot of people probably already have a spare body sitting around. It's worth it.

I agree, good time for the horror collector.

That?s what got me into collecting, the original battle damaged T-800.

Some say that?s Sci-fi, but to then young me it was a horror/Sci-fi.

Ah! You're right. I have an extra pair and a body just waiting to be used.

I still have the TOTS body from when I ported mine over to a COOMODEL body. I still have the stock boots too that aren't being used. I used another pair that I already had. I only used those because they were easier to get on his feet. You barely see the boots anyway. It's a level of accuracy I'm just not concerned with.
