In addition to being a Michael Myers nerd, i also collect toys. I’ve never been completely satisfied with any of the mass marketed figures of Myers, so i decided to use the head from one of my Neca figures and go from there, creating my own fully poseable, hopefully color correct version.
I took apart the head, sanding off most of the pronounced U shape on the forehead of the original, and reshaped the eyes with an exacto, giving him more of the sad look he has in the film. I then repainted it in many layers of flesh tone, topped with white, and drybrushed with white and gray to give it a grimy depth. I was most proud of pulling off the hair, which was always my least favorite part of the sculpted figure. I cut and sanded the molded hair off, to try to give the head a round, hairless base, like a mask pull. After looking around a craft store for a bit, i found some brown “craft fur”, and with a little experimentation, i was able to cut it and glue it onto the head, in what i thought was a pretty accurate representation of a fully haired mask at this scale. The hair was a bit too stiff to stylize, so i couldn’t get any spiking off the side by his ears as i had hoped to, but i used watered down elmer’s gel glue to hold the hairstyle in place. I then dyed some green fabric with gray dye, and using a borrowed sewing machine, made the overall shape of the coveralls. Added the collar, then the back, and front of the upper torso covering in 3 pieces on top of that with faric glue. Glued on the ‘belt’ , the front vertical seem and some pockets, and he was finished. I’m overall pretty happy with the results, and that i finished it before Halloween! Lemme know what you think!
I even found a base figure with the correct boots!
I think these are really cool, very nice bro!
