It’s time to clear off a little space on that action figure shelf. Trick or Treat Studios, who are primarily known as a Halloween mask and costume company, are branching out into toys and busts. And they’re not doing it quietly. During this past weekend’sToy Fair, they shared some of what fans can expect in their line of horror merchandise, and you’ll want it all.
Trick or Treat Studios is mixing the old with the new, and are dedicated to giving fans something that they don’t have in their collection yet. The company is making the first action figure for painted nightmare Art the Clown, the central terrorizer at the center ofTerrifierand its sequel. This will arrive with new action figures of iconic slasher Michael Myers in various masks from several differentHalloweenmovies.
A 1:6 figure for Michael Myers as seen in the originalHalloweenwas put on display at Toy Fair. This version of the killer is in his traditional William Shatner mask and blue jumpsuit, seen holding a hammer. There is also aHalloween 4: The Return of Michael Myersfigure which has a kitchen knife for butchering his victims and a mask variant. Also on display is the Michael Myers fromHalloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. Wearing a darker jumpsuit, with the neck of the mask visible, this take on the Haddonfield boogeyman also comes with a Kitchen Knife, though it has a slightly longer blade. Each of the three Michael Myers figures being shown off are different in their own subtle ways while keeping the iconography of the character intact.
Along with these 12" figures,Trick or Treat Studios also showed offseveral busts of various horror icons, starting with a Zombie from Dawn of the Dead. They are also doing busts of Lucio Fulci’sZombieandHouse by the Cemetery. These include a Dr. Freudstein Statue and a Boat Zombie bust. FromZombie Holocaustthere is a Doctor Butcher bust.
It appears that there are more figures yet to be revealed from Trick or Treat Studios. As usual, Michael Myers had a big presence on the Toy Fair showroom floor. Resurrected toy studio MEGO also showed off more from their horror line-up, and promise to bring the Micheal Myers from Rob Zombie’sHalloweenremake to store shelves later this year. They also have Leatherface from theTexas Chainsaw Massacreremake, the originalThe Flymonster, and Regan fromThe Exorcist. The figure that excited fans the most was Mego’s Harold doll fromScary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
Michael Myers was also represented by Super7. The Reaction Figures company went all in onHalloween IIaction figures, pulled direct from the fiery wreckage of the Haddonfield Hospital. We’ll get abattle-damaged Laurie Strodeand Michael Myers in his traditional jumpsuit. Fans may most want to get their hands on theses for the action figure card backs which feature the Pumpkin skull from this sequel’s advertising back when it was released in 1981. It’s a pretty cool callback for horror aficionados.
You can take a look at all of Trick or Treat Studio’s new horror toys direct from the showroom floor along with some official mock-ups, which give a much more detailed account of what fans can expect from these action figures, busts and statues.
