Hi Spot! The yellow on the knife is part of the blood effect, sometimes smeared blood can appear to be yellowish when it starts drying especially on stainless steel The hands are red in the fingers to emphasise how tensed his grip is, if you’re gripping something tightly, especially at a colder time of year like Halloween, your fingers will appear a darker colour than the rest of your hand

"Hey, How much for one of those?" "More than you can afford pal, Sideshow collectables."

This Is The Kane Hodder Michael Myers

Idk I just love sideshow head sclupt more than the trick or treat studios head sclupt

I follow you since 6 years or so and the spooky spot is what I wait for all year long!

Absolutely love this piece. It’s my favorite collectible I’ve gotten this year.

The figure is good. Worth it for the hardcore fan, but TOTS did it better this round.

IMO better than the TOTS one

I’m glad to see these Michael Myers figures again.

I’m glad it came with the blank head because I put that on a cheap body and boom, another figure!

Love this figure far better than the tots in my opinion, great review as always

Awesome review, Spot I have this figure too and I think its superb. And Spot, my figure came with a right gripping hand for holding the knife and telephone.

Sideshow sent you two of the same hands! You should have two opposite gripping hands. Same thing happened to me with my Snake Eyes figure and they sent me the correct hand right away. Great review!

Nice figure! Cant wait for the movie this week!

I’m watching the reviews and you should have the right hand because I have this exact product so you should have a left and right hands

Awesome review! I don’t collect 1:6 scale anymore. But this would be a nice one to display with my Michael Myers collection😉👌🏽

Watched all the other Halloween films over and over but not the Rob Zombie one, only about a month ago did I see this and WOW everything about the film is spot on, the way his mind moves over to a darker place and the size of the man he becomes, Epic film so thrilled was I that I went on to buy the second film now I can only think that Rob was on drugs making / directing the second but I didn't mind the price for both was well worth the viewing of the first, for me like in the Rob Zombie films MM needed to be a big man, a scary man who if you met walking down the street you would cross over the road...

Have you seen the new scream 5 trailer

I watched your review before I picked up my Michael Myers by sideshow and I was very surprised to find that mine actually did come with the missing hand that was shown in the front of the box

excellent video, I agree, maybe the mask I liked only a little compared to the tricky or treat but in general since I saw it a year ago I felt that it looks muscular, that the head was very wide and that the eyes were come strangers, this figure has something strange that despite seeing many defects you want it to have, hahaha maybe it is the cult of michael myers.I WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE UNKNOWN THAT THESE FIGURES ARE MADE BY DESIGNERS AND NOT BY FANS, THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE NEVER MANAGED TO CREATE THE MOST LIKE THE ORIGINAL MICHAEL MYERS

I love my TOTS Michael myers. I dont think the sideshow figure is that bad but there was always something that looked off. Can't wait for the accessorie pack for the TOTS figure.

Your points are super valid, especially when you consider you're paying a premium for it. The h1 mask was also a stark white for the most part, yeah the original paint starting wearing through but not really on the forehead, more so around the neck and nose. So that skin tone at the hairline is really distracting

Nice

Gr8 Video. 🔥👍👀 Tot Michael Myers 1978 Figure looks more better to me.

The likeness is very well sculpted but I agree somewhat with the eyes. The sheet kinda cheapens the appearance of the figure because maybe like you say, it's just a sheet, which technically is what it's supposed to be. I dunno, it's an odd one that. Probably not a lot else they could have done. The one:12 mezco has the sheet attached to a more moulded head covering. The hands look amazing though despite the paint criticism and I love the bloodied knife and I actually think the yellowing gives it a more realistic appearance.

Man i dig that tots did a better figure body and head sculpt but sideshow's try isn't bad at all !!! Plus you get the accesories and a figure stand !!! And a far better sheet and glasses than tots. If i get one Myers Sideshow delivers for me !!! 💯🔝❤

Great review as always Mr spot. Sideshow definitely rushed this figure to compete with TOTS. There was definitely not enough r&d. The pumpkin looks cheap & cartoonish . And of course the receding hairline is what killed this collectible for me wanting this figure

Great review! There were a lot of negatives, but it didn't bother me, like you said it's just about personal taste. I don't think it's a terrible looking figure, but the eyes being so clearly seen bothers me. It could be the studio light, but I feel like no matter what, you shouldn't be able to see them as well as you can. The grayness of the mask also reminds me more of the H20 Stan Winston mask they used rather than the Shatner one from the original.

His knive hand is on the left??? 🤣🤣🤣

They didn't put it at the bottom of the pumpkin because you'd be able to see the glue mess easier in the mouth of the pumpkin

Definitely needed to go with a thinner coverall material.. they did get the classic teardrop head shape.. add Scopes could have been more accurate along with hairline.. cover all color is great because it shows blue in the movies regardless of what it was in reality.

Great review...., disappointing figure. I think you nailed it on all accounts. I'm afraid, for me anyway, the figure just doesn't cut it.

Great review. I think I'll stick with my ToT figure. Just by the pics posted on Sideshows site, I could tell he looked a bit bulky. I look forward to your comparison video.

I guess what they were going for the coloring on the tip of the hands was to give it that "warmth" or "cold" look but they paint it too matted and doesn't look "natural".

Mine came with both right and left knife gripping hands. 🎃 I think they must have mistakenly placed two left hands in yours during the assembling/packing process. 🔪

Does it re stock ?

Looks like Gary Oldman

3:42 The nose is absolutely supposed to be a knife while the eye hole is supposed to be Michael Myers...it just got lost in translation here.

Hi review spot. I just wanted to let you know that yes, the cut on the pumpkin IS a knife. The left eye of the pumpkin is also his head

Tots all the way isn't it Spot ? 😁🤗

Dolce

Hey Spot Is Halloween 4 still your number 1 favorite Halloween or has that changed

I think the discoloration in the hands is a trademark of sideshows figures. My 1/6 jason voorhees has the same discoloration on the hands.

I’m in a predicament. Should I go for this one or should I go for the trick-or-treat studios Michael?

The reddish/pink on fingers and knuckles are bloodstains, not that I'm a killer or something

Thanks for the review. Doesn't seem worth it for the price. Not terrible though.

Mine has the left knife holding yand,hand, just screwed yours up

Overall it's cool, but I agree with you on the eyes and hairline being off. I like the coverall color, because regardless of what was worn in real life, they do look blue 99% of the time on screen no matter how you look at it. They really messed up the pockets though, they got the square flap but they're supposed to be the same size and aligned. The one with the flap is much bigger, seems like they put the flap over the pocket instead of on the pocket. That's a big error IMO.

Plasma could explain the yellow color

Great review. I really found it odd that Both TOTS and Sideshow were able to release the same scale figure for this license. Perhaps the price point gave them that distinction? I'm not sure, but it is something of a conundrum to wonder why Sideshow would go toe to toe against a new line by TOTS that is getting allot of love right now at a lower price. And to your point, the likeness is shockingly off. Now it IS better than the first one they attempted some 20 plus years ago. I'm confused why that thing even brings any money on the secondary market like it does. But compared to what is being done right now with the character in figure form (on any scale), this one really falls short on the distinctive features that attracts horror collectors. Thanks again for the great review!

The trick or treat studios head sculpt is way better than this.

*Can you do a review on the ultimate Michael Myers from Halloween kills (2021)? Por favor 🙏*

He's pretty.

Man, I recieved both Michael and Leatherface today, Ghostface still stuck in shipping god knows where. I opened Michael and his base has so many scratches on it.. also Leatherface had one of his buttons fall right off as soon as I took him out of the packaging and one of his belt loops isn't stitched.. I'm really not happy :/

Scalpers trying to flog this for over 600.00 ill stick with the TOTS and upgrade it thanks

Um, the yellow is blood plasma…

Bald Myers

I have the same figure and mine came with a right knife holding hand so I would call sideshow for a replacement

Great review! But I won't be buyhing it. Kinda disappointed with it.

How old were you when you made your first video?

I think you got a bad shipment. I have this Myers and I received hands to hold the knife for left and right sides

Spot next time could you please have subtitles as I do not speak canadian !!!

I think they messed up and gave you two left hands. And apparently Mr Myers is now a lefty for holding his lamson butcher knife 🎃🔪

i think the hands are meant to be blood stained

I don't think the figure deserve that much hate for me it's a great figure my only issue is that hairline

This isn't a horrible looking Michael Myers figure, but it's also far from being the ideal Michael Myers figure that I was hoping for on the part of Sideshow Collectibles. For a company that's been making 1/6th scale figures for as long as they have, you expect something way better than what was presented here. There are simply way too many issues to warrant a purchase, especially considering the $235 price tag. The face is too round and too wide. The receding hairline is very jarring. The eyes are way too visible. The nose points outward too much. The mask itself doesn't have varying shades of grey. Instead, it appears to be a single shade of grey. There should be a cut at the back of the mask, which was omitted for some reason. The shoulders are too wide, which make Michael Myers appear to be a bit muscular, which shouldn't be the case, especially considering that Nick Castle is a bit on the skinny side. The fingers and knuckles are of a pinkish color, whereas the bottom parts of the hands are pale in comparison. It's really odd that Sideshow Collectibles included 2, almost identical hands that are used to grip the knife, whereas the back of the box shows Michael Myers gripping the knife with the right hand. The pumpkin's light up option isn't strong enough. Instead, a flame effect should've been utilized, which would've illuminated way better than the small light that was utilized. The font that's on the display stand should've either been outlined in either white or orange. Perhaps, the outline could've been white and the inside of the font could've been a light orange. The legs are loose, which has been an issue when it comes to Sideshow Collectibles 1/6th scale figures for a long time unfortunately. On the plus side, the figure does have some positives going for it. The hands have some really good vein work and texture work. The boiler suit looks really good and it has some nice stitch work and tailoring. I like the boots. I also like the blood splatter that was added to the bloodied knife. Speaking of which, the yellow that was added to the bloodied knife is most likely rust, but it seems out of place and it appears as if the paint was applied randomly. The tombstone is made out of resin, which is much appreciated and it has some considerable weight as a result. It has some nice speckling and weathering as well. The pumpkin has a good sculpt. For casual Michael Myers fans, this figure will probably suffice. However, for die hard fans, this figure is a bit disappointing. It isn't horrible, but it's also far from being great. Maybe, if the price point was below $200, then collectors would be a bit more forgiving. With that aside, thanks as always Spot for another great video. I really appreciate the continued hard work. Keep it up!

The real coveralls have a zipper not buttons

its a wireless phone lol, seriously man how ridiculous, deal breaker for me

Not too harsh. That does not say "Michael Myers is stalking me". It says "derpy man with a sheepish grin is about to tell me a dad joke". True disappointment. Their Jason, while also not fully accurate, does make me think "Jason".

...I don't see what's so bad about this figure, I want this gahddamn figgah!!!

That head sculpt is horrendous, nowhere near accurate for a 78' Michael, even his coveralls are the incorrect color lol.

Man This is disappointing sideshow dropped the ball, if you are a real Myers fans you know what you can and can’t do they been doing this for so long you wouldnt think those mistakes would ever happen, almost like they said here it’s good enough! Tots 78 blew this out the water! I can’t get over the hairline and that dull fat deer in headlights mask! 🤦🏼‍♂️

For all the hype Sideshow gets....they just don't make the best figures. Most of mine are Hot Toys or TreeZero/A, and the few Sideshow I have are all my least favorite. My Nathen Drake is a good figure, but Jim Ryan is a $500 tin can.

Mask looks terrible looks like his forehead is going into a conehead from the sidelol! Tots all the way!!

loose joints and insufficient hands are deal breakers for me. I was sold until I watched this video, better spend $220 elsewhere.

I dunno man I guess I'm in the minority. Not only do I think this headsculpt is really good and possibly one of the best ever, but I actually hate the TOT's sculpt. It just looks embarrassingly awful to me. I've tried to warm up to it over the years and it's just not happening. There's not a single redeeming quality of it imo. But then, I'm also a fan of the Mezco Myers head sculpt that so many people aren't a fan of, too. 🤷

I'm sorry but head sculpt is terrible 😂😂😂😂

That's a pretty terrible Michael Myers in my opinion

Very dissapointing. That head looks totally off. Mask itself, eyes.. and that laughable nose from side, omg. I dont understant why they did it like that. I just picket up Michael from Trick or Treat Studios and that one look absolutely fantastic. Its way cheaper and incomparably more nicer version. But yeah, great review!
