NECA Michael Myers Halloween 2018


My latest NECA horror figure was Michael Myers from the 2018 Halloween movie. The film was pretty decent, better than some of the sequels. NECA did a good job with this Michael Myers.

 
 
As for accessories, he comes with an alternate head, a decapitated head from one of his victims in the movie, a knife, a hammer and a long hook, a Judith Myers gravestone, a jack-o-lantern that lights up, and several interchangeable hands, including one with 2 fingers cut off.
 
 

The paint and details are very nice, from the creases on his blue jumpsuit, to the creases with stains on his 2 masks. One mask seems to be slightly more worn and scruffy than the other, that’s the one I prefer out of the 2.
 

As for his gripping hands, they’re able to hold the hammer, knife and hook quite well, so that’s nice. There are some figures that aren’t able to hold certain accessories too firmly, so the nice grip is appreciated here.



The articulation is standard for NECA human figures. The neck moves around and is attached to a peg, the shoulders can move all the way around, the elbows can bend though they’re not double jointed, the waist can pivot side to side and back and forth, the thighs can move up and quite far outward, almost doing the splits, knee joints but also not double jointed, and ankle that moves forward up and down a bit. NECA’s human figures have never been able to get a very wide range of motion for really expressive poses, but they’re pretty decent for the most part.
 


Like most NECA human figures, Michael Myers stands taller than S.H. Figuarts, MonsterArts and Figmas. He’s more in scale with Marvel Legend figures.

 
 

He’s a nice figure and goes well with the rest of my NECA horror characters. It’s nice that NECA figures are pretty affordable, and they seem to have a wide variety of horror icons, both classic and new, to choose from. I just saw that NECA will be releasing a Laurie Strode figure from the 2018 film as well, which is cool. Michael Myers is one of my favorite horror ghouls, I’m glad to now own an articulated one.

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...

RicSan Custom Toys Kyōrū Kaiju (Titanosaurus)

My latest kaiju figure purchase is the Titanosaurus made by Ricsan Custom Toys. I own and love the Varan & Gabara, so of course I had to preorder this one when it was available. He was delivered earlier this week. This kaiju hails from the last Godzilla film of the Showa era, 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Black Hole aliens are back, rebuilding their robot in another effort to take over the planet. They enlist the help of an ostracized Earth scientist named Mafune and his daughter Katsura, who are able to control an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus. They plan to use both kaiju and mecha to attack Japan. Titano was a cool monster, with his tail that opened into a fish fin, and he would use it to create whirlpools in the sea, and high winds on land. I'm hoping that S.H. Monsterarts makes one for the 50th anniversary of the film, but when I saw this Ricsan Custom version, I couldn't pass it up. Titanosaurus (called the Kyōrū Kaiju), comes in a white box, with its n...
