Halloween 2 is actually my favorite of the franchise. I'm not really interested in retro cloth Laurie, but Loomis is imo the best character of the first movies and I hope NECA re-releases him as a standalone 'cause unlike the recent release of Marty McFly, they nailed the actor's likeness. Great review!
Both, Laurie Strode and Dr. Loomis have solid head sculpts. They are both nicely detailed and cleanly painted. Articulation is pretty good. Otherwise, thanks as always Spot for another great video. I really appreciate it. Keep it up!
I got these a week or so ago and they look even better in person. I tried over and over to get Loomis to stand and the only way I got him to was to push his knees in the wrong direction. I had no idea that his feet swiveled. They hit a grand slam with the Halloween 3 set and another one here.I love all the figures from the Halloween franchise we’ve gotten so far.There’s been several retro clothed only figures like Silent Night Deadly Night’s Ricky and Billy,Dr Decker, Reanimater, the The Fog, The Nun, Slumber Party, Night of the Demons, They Live, Candy Man off the top of my head. I see a lot of people saying they don’t like the retro figures but I love this line as much if not slightly more than the ultimate figures.
I was looking forward for you to review these guys! These figures look great, and it’s cool to see the evolution of these figures compared to the previously released ones.
We definitely need an Ultimate Loomis, for sure. My idea for it is that it would be something akin the first Ultimate Chucky, where it would encompass Loomis's appearances in 1978, II, 4, and 5. His outfit is literally unchanged from film to film, so all you'd need to do is make extra heads and hands. Movie 1 and 2 accessories are very simple: gun-pose right hand and gun, sculpted lighter hand, static left hand. Movie 4 and 5 accessories would be: gloved gun-pose right hand and gun (he uses an updated 1911 Colt-style gun in 4 and 5), gloved cane-grip left hand and cane, gloved static left hand, burn-scarred dramatic-pose right hand with no glove, one pair of gloved hands posed for 2x4 plank and 2x4 plank, 'clean' burn-scarred alternate head, and 'bloody' burn-scarred alternate head (the end of Part 5). I think there's room and certainly enough demand for something like that, and I would love to see it. EDIT: I posted this immediately before Spot conveyed the same idea LOL. Didn't know he was going to go there, but it's very cool that he did.
Really glad to get a new Loomis figure from NECA. The older figure is too expensive now. Really like the details to this set I feel they are both great figures and this review makes me can't wait to get my hands on this set.
Great, great figures! I've been saying that Neca needs to give us an ultimate h2 Dr. Loomis from the announcement of the h2 Myers. I'm staying optimistic and hoping that they will hear my pleas for what will be a guarantee seller from horror iconic figures. Great review, been waiting to see your review of these amazing figures. Come on Neca we need an ultimate h2 Dr. Loomis, a 1/4 scale h2 Myers and Loomis as well as a Laurie. Could you imagine a h2 cast in 1/4 scale along with ultimate and retro cloth, believe it would be a first. All Hail the Mighty Neca!!!!!!!!!!!
I like your theory on the Loomis hand. However I believe its obvious, in both films Loomis has a habit of holding his hand that way up to his mouth when he is thinking. Got this set last week and immediately had to make a HMH diorama. Hope you find Michael before he kills any kids lol.
I love this set. Been waiting for this for ssooooooo long. Just wish they could've gave Laurie the same ankles as Michael Myers and Dr. Loomis. The hinge is so horrible and are guaranteed to get loose. So loose she will eventually not be able to stand. My nun, and ghostface, as well as my son's freddy krueger from part 2 have to be propped up now cause their ankles are completely loose. But I absolutely, positively love this set. Now if the amazing team that are Neca will please give us the ultimates of these figures. And 1:4 scale as well. These are a no brainer sellout figures. All Hail the Mighty Neca!!!!!!! Great review.
Man, I hated shelling out the bucks for this set, but when I saw those head sculpts I was all in! I think that Dr. Loomis head sculpt ranks with the Ultimate Doc Brown one as among the very best I've seen from NECA. As always, GREAT review! My set is supposed to arrive today or tomorrow, so after watching this I'm especially psyched. I just hope I have as good of luck as you did with the paint on the faces! Either way, my retro cloth Michael Myers is in for a battle. :-)
I haven’t seen these at any stores in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 yet myself. Not even at my local comic book store that gets everything NECA. So I don’t think they are actually widely available yet Spot. Too bad you couldn’t find your retro cloth Michael Myers. I think these guys with Micheal & also the Halloween 3 trick or treaters are all gonna look amazing displayed together. Another great review Spot!
I hope NECA make an action figure of Loomis. I'd love an Ultimates version of him in 7 inch scale. I don't really like these 8 inch dolls. The proportions always look off to me. Cloth goods always look so fake too as being so small the material doesn't hang like real clothing so just looks kinda cheap.
If I remember correctly and you guys can correct me in the comments I think Donald Pleasance almost turn down the role because at the time he didn’t know that John Carpenter ( The Master of Horror) would make a sequel to Halloween (1978) In loving memory of Donald Pleasance (1919-1995) You’ll always be remembered as the great Dr. Loomis but never forgotten
Just as a general rule I don't really like the Retro Cloth figures. I have OCD and the intentional disproportionality of them messes with me somewhat. That being said, I had to have this set regardless. It showed up in my local Target here a couple days ago and I walked it right up to the checkout without even glancing at the price. Good news is the disproportionality isn't nearly as bad with these figures as it is with all the others. Such a great set, though. I love it, and especially for finally having a Loomis in my collection and for that sweet sweet poster art Pumpkin.
She was wearing the outfit from Halloween '78 at the beginning of Halloween 2. It seems like the H2 license would cover that. Might have to have the rip in the shoulder of her shirt, but that outfit was in H2.
Ive seen someone get that same set but then they looked online for her original clothing, as soon as i get the set im hoping to do the same thing, it will cost a bit more but im willing to try it
Wish this wasnt a retro cloth, it'll look weird next to my 7 inch Ultimate Michael, but the retro cloth Michael itself looks goofy with the baggy overalls and a $90 CAD price point is a bit much.
How does loomis and Laurie compare in height to the ultimate Halloween 2 neca Michael ? I would like to have them go against the ultimate Michael because I don’t have the cloth version yet
They cut the brother-sister connection out because they were not related and that lame connection never should have been made in any of the other films.
I really just want the Loomis which makes this set a little overpriced for me. I just wish they could do a Michael for every film like they did with Jason..oh well. At least we're getting figures from 1 and 2.
I have to believe and have my Loomis posed with his left fisted hand clutching his stomach as when Michael stabs him in the gut after Loomis tries to shoot him as soon as Michael breaks down the operation room door. When Laurie shoots Michael in the eyes and Loomis starts to distract Michael by pulling the ether and oxygen hoses from the walls you can see Loomis holding his abdomen with his clutched left hand.
We need a Halloween 2 ultimate Laurie ASAP !!!

Both look really good, I'm surprised! Not interested in this set necessarily, but I'm really happy it's out there for folks.

Drives me nuts the cloth figures are bigger than the Ultimates
After watching this review all I wanna do is yell "Michaellllllllllllll !!!" In the middle of the street 😂😂😂🤣😝
FINALLY! A doctor loomis figure!
Actually there was a Dr Loomis figure way back in the Halloween the night he came home box set
@@mrTaxman-yh8sy true, but he didn’t have a whole lot of articulation
@@orangeskull6401 All admit you got me there
@@mrTaxman-yh8sy also, not the best quality and way too expensive
@@xander396 yeah i went on ebay to find it But the price was $600
🥰we love Laurie strode and 😭 dr loomie

Definitely wasn't in Target until this past week!
Got mine in today. I wish Laurie Came with a Hospital Phone, Or Some more Accessories.
A Great set of figures to own

I picked these up and I think their awesome.

In loving memory of Donald Pleasance
(1919-1995)
You’ll always be remembered as the great Dr. Loomis but never forgotten
17:48 is what everybody is here to check out.....so no to need to pretend with the "I don't know why I'm showing you" routine.
Awesome Review!!!!
I wish we got a lighter hand with Tiffany and a cigarette hand word made her so much better
17:45 *having a real close look here guys
It was a joke no need to spam
Ō~Ō
These would go great with the michael myers figure with blood in eyes

Just ordered from ebay very very excited
I found mine at a antic store for 65 dollars not going to open mine though 🤝😊
I'm keeping these guys in their box
I love HALLOWEEN 6
She was wearing the outfit from Halloween '78 at the beginning of Halloween 2. It seems like the H2 license would cover that. Might have to have the rip in the shoulder of her shirt, but that outfit was in H2.
I hope they can do a classic Michael with the new movie featuring flashback scenes!
Ive seen someone get that same set but then they looked online for her original clothing, as soon as i get the set im hoping to do the same thing, it will cost a bit more but im willing to try it
Sweet! Subscribed!!!
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome set i also got it 👍
Wish this wasnt a retro cloth, it'll look weird next to my 7 inch Ultimate Michael, but the retro cloth Michael itself looks goofy with the baggy overalls and a $90 CAD price point is a bit much.

Jheez Spot coming in with the hot takes never heard anyone say they enjoyed part 6, have you ever considered reviewing movies?
Awesome 👏
They cut the brother-sister connection out because they were not related and that lame connection never should have been made in any of the other films.
why
I really just want the Loomis which makes this set a little overpriced for me. I just wish they could do a Michael for every film like they did with Jason..oh well. At least we're getting figures from 1 and 2.
I don’t know most of the masks are lacking in the later films
@@cherylsilvestri6863 least with Jason the mask covers his awful face looks the main Michael I want is a ultimate younge Michael Myers
Should I get this loomis for christmas or 2004 loomis
Laurie can piss off but I just might need a dr.loomis
I really need to get this set
You don't know what Death is- Doctor Loomis
It makes me cry when Trevor Grove shows off the amazing sculpts that he's done for Neca, knowing that they're going to murder them during production.
How so
@@__-wm9lu Sometimes they mess up the paint jobs but that's just because they’re mass produced so they won't be like the prototypes.
I have to believe and have my Loomis posed with his left fisted hand clutching his stomach as when Michael stabs him in the gut after Loomis tries to shoot him as soon as Michael breaks down the operation room door. When Laurie shoots Michael in the eyes and Loomis starts to distract Michael by pulling the ether and oxygen hoses from the walls you can see Loomis holding his abdomen with his clutched left hand.
the closed hand might be so we could put his hand in his pocket
Glad you finally got these my friend ur review news the one I was watching for *hombreinblack from Instagram
For $90 bucks & that Laurie no thanks
Great looking figures but they are just too tall and big not the right scale for the recent Michael figures
I want to like these retro cloth figures......
But I just don’t.
Loomis figure is too tall the actor was only 5ft 6
I'm watching your review I think I got a Fake.
U don't know what dead is!!
