Get ready, horror fans—NECA has just unleashed the ultimate Michael Myers action figure from Halloween: Resurrection, and it’s packed with incredible detail and accessories! But here's where it gets controversial: is this collectible the best representation of the iconic villain, or just a niche item for hardcore fans? Either way, it's a must-see for those who want to own a piece of slasher history.
Unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con, NECA's latest release brings the chilling presence of Michael Myers to life in a highly detailed 7-inch scale figure. This isn’t just any toy; it’s fully articulated, allowing for pose versatility, and comes loaded with numerous accessories that will delight collectors and fans alike. Included are two interchangeable heads—one showcasing Michael’s classic look and the other featuring his burnt, gruesome visage from the film. You’ll also find seven interchangeable hands, which means you can recreate a variety of menacing grips and gestures.
To capture the murderous essence of the infamous killer, the figure comes with multiple weapons: two kitchen knives, a serrated knife, and even a broken knife to evoke those intense scenes from the movie. For added authenticity, NECA has included a camera on a tripod, a creepy doll, and a Jack-o’-lantern, all iconic props connected to the film’s eerie atmosphere.
All these elements arrive in a beautifully designed window box package that even features an opening front flap, perfect for display or easy access. This packaging ensures the figure can be admired both boxed and unboxed, catering to different types of collectors.
For those unfamiliar, Halloween: Resurrection is the eighth chapter in the legendary slasher series, originally released in 2002. The plot centers on a group of college students craving internet fame who agree to participate in a reality show filmed inside the notorious Myers house. As the cameras roll, so do the body counts, maintaining the franchise’s signature tension and horror.
This installment was directed by Rick Rosenthal, who also helmed Halloween II, lending continuity to the series. The screenplay was penned by Larry Brand and Sean Hood, known for their work on projects like Conan the Barbarian, adding a unique touch to the horror narrative.
Brad Loree steps into the massive shoes of Michael Myers, delivering a chilling performance that complements an eclectic cast featuring Busta Rhymes, Bianca Kajlich, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Ryan Merriman, Sean Patrick Thomas, Tyra Banks, and the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis. This blend of actors from various backgrounds sparked mixed reactions, which leads us to question—did this casting choice breathe fresh life into the franchise, or dilute the iconic horror formula?
What do you think? Is this NECA figure the definitive Michael Myers collectible, or just another gimmick? And how do you feel about Halloween: Resurrection's unique place in the franchise? Share your thoughts and join the debate below!
