The original Michael Myers joins the Ultimate line from NECA Toys, and this figure is based on his appearance in the 1981 cult classic, where Michael Myers follows Laurie to the Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, where Laurie has been dmitted for Myers’ attempt on her life. Interestingly enough, this sequel is now irrelevant as last years Halloween 2018 is now meant to be the direct sequel to the original 1978 movie.
Due to popular demand, NECA delves into the classic Halloween movies! Based on his appearance in 1981’s Halloween 2, Michael stands over 7″ tall and has received the Ultimate treatment, with over 25 points of articulation and tons of accessories. The figure comes with 3 heads, syringe, knife, hammer, and opening jack o’ lantern. Comes in display-friendly deluxe window box packaging with opening flap.

His shoes are black with sculpted details such as laces and sculpted patterns on the soles.
His head sculpts are nicely done and he is given his iconic mask, which is grey on two of the head sculpts, and white on the other. The masks have a wash on them make them look used and dirty, and one of the heads even has blood coming down the mask from his eyes as seen in the film. The hair on each of these is nicely done with sculpted textures and a paint wash over it.
