Halloween Michael Myers One:12 Collective Figure by Mezco – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on October 19, 2018 at 12:48 pm by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Mezco’s One:12 Collective line of 6″ scale figures has seen a wide mix of licenses since its inception. While the majority of releases seem to focus on Marvel and DC Comics releases, they have been mixing in other genres for fans of the line. Horror themed releases have been a part of Mezco for as long as I can remember. From Cinema of Fear, to Vinyl Figures, to their long running Living Dead Doll line up, Mezco is one of a few mainstream companies that has consistently kept horror collectibles on the market. Their One:12 Collective line of figures has been slowly gaining more and more cult and horror licenses. From Frankenstein, to Evil Dead, to Friday the 13th and Dawn of the Dead, there’s a nice assortment of Horror figures in this fan favorite style.

One of the biggest surprises was when Mezco debuted their Halloween – Michael Myers Figure back at San Diego Comic-Con 2017. It had been some time since a classic style Michael Myers had been on the market, and horror fans were starved for anything they could get their hands on. The figure initially went up for pre-order on Halloween 2017, and has long since been sold out. The figure, though, has now been released and we have a full photo shoot and review. We picked up the figure from sponsor Dorkside Toys. See the photos and more after the jump.

Halloween – Michael Myers One:12 Collective Figure by Mezco Toyz

Pros

  • Great to see a classic version of The Shape
  • Strong head sculpt
  • Plenty of interchangeable hands
  • Good accessories
  • Included pumpkin lights up
  • Great articulation
  • Nicely scaled cloth outfit
  • The sheet ghost look is handled really well

Cons

  • Feels like it could have been a tad bit taller

Overall
The Michael Myers figure is packed in Mezco’s standard One:12 Collective packaging. The box features a cardboard slip cover that, when removed, showcases a large window to view the figure and accessories inside. The back of the slipcover details everything that is included with the release. Michael Myers sits on a plastic tray with no twist ties used. The figure can be placed back in for easy storage as needed. The figure includes multiple interchangeable hands, a knife, a bloody knife, a Judith Myers tombstone, a light up Pumpkin (with batteries included), a “Bob” Ghost sheet, and a figure stand.

Right out of the box, the first thing most fans are going to gravitate to is the head sculpt. As Michael Myers wears a classic rubber Halloween mask, it’s important for any company to have that look correct. Not only does it have to look like a mask, it has to look like a 1970’s William Shatner mask, something that not all companies have been able to achieve. Thankfully, Mezco knocked it out of the park in my opinion. The portrait is the highlight of the figure, and in film style lighting looks spot on to what I expected.The eyes are perfectly sunken in and easy to hide in shadows. The paint work on the head is excellent as well, with very subtle washes throughout, and nice transitional colors in the sculpted hair of the mask. Another nice paint touch can be seen in the hands of the figure, which have a very dirty look to them.

Michael Myers includes a nice assortment of film themed accessories. The numerous hands swap out very easily, and the small wrist joint never feels like it’s going to snap when changing out the hands. The gripping hands both hold the two knives without issue, and the various poses of the hands make them worthwhile inclusions. The included Pumpkin features a flickering LED light that mimics the opening titles of the movie. The light is fairly bright and looks great. The Judith Myers tombstone is surprisingly sold and fairly heavy for its size. The sculpt work there is impressive, with a nice heavy stone texture and sharp engravings. The accessory that really jumped out at me was the “Bob” Ghost sheet included here. Instead of being just a piece of fabric you throw over the figure, it actually has real thought put into it. For this, you remove the portrait and attach the sheet to the neck joint, as there is a socket and sculpted shape at the head of the sheet, and the glasses are affixed to that. It works great, and will keep the sheet perfectly in place if you choose to display him like that.

As someone more used to 7″ to 8″ scale horror figures, I still found myself impressed with the smaller Michael Myers. As part of the One:12 Collective, Michael Myers is meant to fit in with 1/12 scale (roughly 6″ tall) collectibles. However, the figure comes in just about 6.5″ tall, though he feels a bit smaller than he should. And while the smaller scale may be a problem for some collectors, the figure still packs quite a punch. The figure has about 30 points of articulation overall, with a fabric outfit covering all of the joints. The fabric outfit is particularly notable here, as Michael Myers wears a jumpsuit. As a single piece outfit, it covers all of the figures potential joints, giving it a really natural look as you pose it. The fabric itself is very thing, so it doesn’t look bulky at all, and feels like it’s scaled about as well as it can be. Thankfully, it doesn’t hinder any of the poseability.

In the end, I really enjoyed posing and snapping photos of the figure. I do wish it were just a bit taller for the 6″ scale, but it looks fantastic in person. There’s a lot of display options and great attention to detail throughout. The figure will be hard to track down, as most online retailers will be sold out by now, so jeep your eyes on the secondary market and look for a price you’re comfortable with.

    Awesome pics as always. This figure has caught a lot of flack on line for the price but I love mine. Love the flickering effect in the led pumpkin. Like most, my only real gripe is the seam in the hair but beyond that this is in my opinion the best Shape figure released, don't get me wrong I love Neca but this is just exactly what I wanted it to be. Hope they do the 2018 Shape, just saw that last night and it was awesome.

    You need to pop up the collar on your Shape for a more authentic look.

    You're killin' it, Joe. Every time I think Tony might be pulling ahead with his latest mind-blowing photo gallery you come along with your next one and knock it out of the park. You guys really are neck-and-neck, and are collectively the main reason why this is the best toy-related site on the net. Every company should be offering ToyArk sexual favors to have their stuff featured here.

    Man, I'm feeling complimentary today, lol.

    I actually realized this morning when I was writing up the review that I didn't raise the collar up. Was too late by that point tho. Hehe.

    I appreciate that. Alex is definitely ahead of me. Wait until you see the pics he's been working on. He keeps sending me previews and I'm super jealous of the shots he's taken lately.

    Thank you! I wanted that to be similar to the shot at the top of the stairs, but I dust didn't have any stairs that would work. So it's a loose homage.

    Hehe, I've been slow fading into my real name for years. Hey, I started these sites when it wasn't cool to use your real name online, you were a crazy person if you did. I just chose a handle that sounded like a different real name lol.

    Absolutely amazing photoshoot. Been following you guys on IG for awhile and decided to register!

    I just wanted to point out that the figure is actually roughly 6.5” in height but looks small compared to NECA. He is actually a little taller than Mezco Punisher and with the OG Myers only being 5’10” I think the height works! I just hate the articulation of the figure!

    The mask/face is soo on point, it's eerie. But the real clothes make it look like a Barbie doll...having trouble getting past that especially at the price point.

    I'll wait for NECA to make one, but this is kind of cool. Though, shouldn't the overalls be more like an olive green? They were only blue in the houses due to the lighting.
