The collectible-makers at NECA will be releasing an Ultimate Michael Myers figure this fall that will sport the same look the iconic slasher has in the upcoming film Halloween Kills (which reaches theatres on October 15th). Now they have unveiled the first-look images of the figure, and you can check them out below. Just like the Halloween Kills Myers, this figure has a burned mask and is missing some fingers on his left hand.
Standing at the height of 7″, the figure will come equipped with knives, a baseball bat, a Halligan bar, interchangeable head and hands, plus a Silver Shamrock skull mask.
Directed by David Gordon Green, Halloween Kills is set on the same night as 2018’s Halloween (you can watch that HERE), which ignored all of the previous Halloween movies except for the 1978 original (watch that one HERE). This sequel is said to be about
the creation of fear. It’s one thing to be afraid of the Boogeyman, to have someone who might be in the closet, under the bed, creeping around your house… But we wanted to explore next was confusion, misinformation, and paranoia. What happens when fear goes viral? You can’t just stick your head under the covers any more.”
The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis as franchise heroine Laurie Strode, Judy Greer as Laurie’s daughter Karen, Andi Matichak as Laurie’s granddaughter Allyson, Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam, Dylan Arnold as Allyson’s boyfriend / Lonnie’s son Cameron, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion, Charles Cyphers as Leigh Brackett, Jibrail Nantambu as scene stealer Julian, child actress Victoria Paige Watkins as a character named Christy, and James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers. Original Michael Myers performer Nick Castle also has a one scene cameo.
Green wrote the screenplay with Danny McBride and Scott Teems. Green, McBride, and Curtis also serve as executive producers alongside Couper Samuelson and Carpenter. Jason Blum produced with Malek Akkad.
Halloween Kills is rated R for “strong bloody violence throughout, grisly images, language and some drug use”.
