NECA Announce Halloween H20 Figure
Slasher fans rejoice as NECA finally brings a long-awaited Myers variant to life
Collectors and horror fans have reason to celebrate as NECA has revealed its latest addition to the Ultimate line: Michael Myers from Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. Marking the first time this version of the character has been immortalized in NECA’s highly detailed 7-inch scale, the figure is slated for release in Q3 2025, priced at $34.99, and comes loaded with accessories for fans eager to revisit this late ’90s slasher favorite.
The fully articulated figure includes interchangeable heads that showcase different masks used in the film (including the infamous CGI mask variation), along with seven swap-out hands, allowing for various pose options. Accessories include two kitchen knives (one clean, one bloodied), a fire axe, an ice skate, and a jack-o’-lantern—all referencing key moments from the movie. It’s all packaged in NECA’s signature window box with front flap, perfect for display in or out of the box.
A Return to Form: Halloween H20 Revisited
Released in 1998, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later served as both a sequel and a soft reboot of the Halloween franchise. Directed by Steve Miner, the film ignores the continuity of Halloween 4–6 and instead picks up two decades after Halloween II (1981). Jamie Lee Curtis returned to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, now living under the alias Keri Tate, working as the headmistress of a private school in Northern California.
Haunted by her past and struggling with PTSD, Laurie is forced to confront her brother Michael Myers when he returns for one final blood-soaked reunion. The film also introduced Laurie’s teenage son, played by a young Josh Hartnett, and co-starred Michelle Williams, LL Cool J, Adam Arkin, Jodi Lyn O’Keefe, Janet Leigh, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
H20 was praised for its slick production, emotional depth, and character-driven approach. Curtis’ performance brought a rare gravitas to the genre, and the film’s climactic showdown—where Laurie ultimately confronts Michael in a desperate bid for closure—remains one of the franchise’s most memorable finales.
NECA’s Legacy with Michael Myers
Although NECA has never released a figure based on the original Halloween (1978) film due to long-standing licensing restrictions, they’ve still made a major mark on the franchise through a series of high-quality releases:
- Halloween II (1981) – Featuring Michael with a variety of weapons, alternate head sculpts, and a bleeding eyes variant.
- Halloween II – Loomis & Myers 2-Pack – Including an exclusive Dr. Loomis figure and flame effects.
- Halloween (2018) – A modern Michael with LED jack-o’-lantern, interchangeable heads, and survivalist-era detail.
- Laurie Strode (2018) – One of NECA’s rare final girl figures, based on Jamie Lee Curtis’s return.
- Halloween Kills (2021) – With a severely burned mask and brutal accessories from the 2021 sequel.
- Halloween Ends (2022) – Featuring a weathered design and darker tone to match the trilogy’s finale.
And NECA’s Halloween lineup isn’t slowing down. Later this summer, NECA is also set to release Michael Myers from Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)—marking the first time that the much-discussed “Thorn Trilogy” era is being represented in Ultimate figure form. With its unique mask design, cultic influences, and darker visual tone, Curse stands out as one of the more polarizing entries in the series, but the upcoming figure is already generating buzz for its deep-cut appeal and attention to screen-accurate detail.
