Um.. He's being generous. Compare that paint job to the real thing or any repainted mask. It's pretty bad - I've seen much better copies directly from ToTs.
In the new movie the mask fits VERY TIGHT. Michael has to force it on. In the making of pictures they show that it took two people to get the mask on because it’s so tight. A form fitting mask is tight and hot but always looks better. People forget that nothing looks sillier than a big headed horror slasher. I will point out that the mask in the movie is made of a totally different material. It actually looks softer. Almost like silicon, but only in the masks removal or being put on. Then once in, it looks thick and heavy.
Good Lord dude, completely unrelated but your username made me laugh out loud!! Could you tell me exactly how Marilyn Monroe died? LOL. p.s. my Yahoo username is 'Owl Jolson' from the old Warner Bros. Cartoon but maybe your much younger than me and don't get the joke: I love to singa, about the moona, and the Juna, and the Springa, I love to singa....NO!! OWL!! TOO MUCH JAZZ!!!! Owl stops dancing, picks up his violin and sings 'drink to me only with my eyes and.....his dad leaves the room, Owl Jolson starts dancing singing I LOVE TO SINGA!!! check it out on TH-cam, it's an old classic imho....:D
Ok your theater room is my future goals 😭😍 it looks amazing & I hope to have one as nice as that!! I ordered from tots for the first time ever & I ordered 4 masks, they all came packaged really well but my myers hospital mask looked so weird & I emailed them, they told me it was a defect so I got to send it back & they had sent me a new, much better looking one in 2 days! I know a lot of people give them crap for their customer service or their quality masks but I was super happy with my experience & they treated me really well but I also approached them nicely from the beginning! The hospital mask looks good but I’d still like to give it some weathering to look more like the movie but I’m scared to mess it up 😅 as far as the 2018 mask, I really like mine & I don’t think I want it repainted so I’m happy with that, but I’m also not very experienced with masks 😂
Buying it at a store would have been a crap shoot Travis because only 20% of production went to stores while preorder was a guaranteed. Enjoy you channel by the way. Happy Halloween!
Christopher Zephro your right it would be rolling the dice. From what I heard some areas didn't get but 1 or even none. My area had a bunch but you don't know until it's out.
I guess its like playing the lottery,sometimes you win,sometimes you dont. I ordered the Michael Myers Halloween 2 Economy mask,the one with the latex face and rubber hair so that I wouldn't deal with the hair shedding and falling out. Its a good mask for $30.00 and I ordered it about about 10 days before Halloween,received it on the 28th. They warned me it might not make it in time but it did,I guess maybe the mask I ordered wasn't in demand as much as the others so they might have shipped it out quicker? Who knows. Good quality,I love the economy mask,the thing is really nice.
Same here I’ll never pre order from TOTS again in my life. You can purchase directly from Party City and Spirit Halloween store without having to wait months to get one.
Retailer's orders always ship first so they dont miss out on stock. If our pre orders shipped first they would be the ones receiving their orders October 1st and thus losing sales. Its a mask, there is no rush to get it. I didnt get one till the following Halloween season. I didnt pre order and all Stores around me and TOTS websites were sold out. So yeah just be patient its only a mask!
My brother collects mask & he has several Michael Myers mask. When I went into Spirits Halloween store a couple of weeks ago & saw this mask, the first thing I told him was it looked really small compared to his other mask.
I got mine about two weeks ago. Yhea .. I admit, I was a little mift too about not getting it before the stores. When I hear pre-order. That means I get mine before the stores do. The copy I got was really good. Probably the best mass pro mask that I've ever gotten. for 60.00 .. yhea it's worth it. I do have a couple of expensive Indie masks, such as the Warlock H2 mask, and "SAMHAIN" mask from MMP. The TOTS MM2018 mask looks great with complete costume.
Thats is luck my bro. I had to pick from 3 Jason's masks from Necca Replicas. I had a really hard time doing it. I can't imagine the chance of getting a good one in this Pre-bullshit.
I know your pain I preordered this mask from them on October 25th and still have not received an email for when it will be shipped or anything. Its just super annoying having to wait so long when I should have just paid a little extra at my local party City. I just hope that the waiting pays off and I get a really high quality mass produced mask. This will be my first and last time I preorder from TOTS
Loving those seats. I get your frustration because I seen them in store and kept waiting on mine. I'm surprised yours was shipped in a box. Mine was shipped in a white plastic bag. I lucked out and it was in perfect condition.
Funny story on those seats, I bought them all for the price of 2. They had this spend x amount sale and get a $500 rebate about 2 weeks before black friday and I had seen their add and knew they were going to go on sale for less than half price so I asked the manager their price match policy and he said 30 days. I said even BF prices? he said yes so I bought them all got the rebate, came back 2 weeks later and got refunded the difference for the sale price!
I’m having the same issue right now. I pre ordered the Halloween 4 mask, and the quite riot mask. And still haven’t gotten the package yet. They came out almost two months ago.
That was a legal issue with the spirit stores etc... they weren’t supposed to release them until the movies premier. The TOTS page says that the masks don’t arrive until after November. I ordered mine 36 days ago and I’m still waiting.
Backdraft 1331 it’s a shit show for sure. The stores were sent masks to sell the day after the movie hit theaters. On line only. Most states followed that rule. Texas (my state) did. No masks here at all. Only through AMAZON who sold them for 48 hours for $59.99 free shipping. I bought 3. The masks are now selling for up to $300 each on amazon. Price gouging bull shit. I’m a collector not a salesman. I got 4 masks (I also ordered one from TOTS direct) so that I could compare the quality but mainly so I could customize them individually. I’m even going to cut the eyes a bit on one to create a slight angle. The sides of the nose bridge needs to be slightly darkened on all of them. My baby sitter took me to see the first one. It blew my mind. I’ve been a fan ever since.
I pre-ordered by in September and was told not to expect it until November. I got it on Thursday, 10/18, the day before the movie opened. So go figure. Mine came in a back. Has yellow/green glow to it, but like many below are saying, for a $60 mask, I'm pretty happy with it. I did notice that yours has the mouth slit. mine does not. The lips on mine are definitely closed together.
@@keithjackson2932 yeah I am I've had the mask since last year and I'm being him again just having trouble finding the right coveralls since the ones I had were just a little big
@@saltybomba the last mask I had was from th he rob zombie version.. the mask was decent, but hopefully this is the best purchase of a mask that I make
Don't see what the problem is...they did a fucking superb job with this mask, and for the price it looks amazing! Repaint it if you aren't happy but I love this mask, well done trick or treat studios 👏🏼
There are plenty of problems to see. 1) most, if not all people who pre-ordered received masks long after they were available in stores. 2)customer service was atrocious with regards to this mask. No email confirming order or shipment, multiple emails for shipping updates ignored, a general sense of "we have your money so shut up and wait for your mask." 3) masks were shipped to some (myself included) in BAGS. No boxes, just a shipping bag. 4) the mask is too small for most people, likely the result of two molds (one for James Jude Courtney, the other for Nick Castle) being used for production. TOTS could have easily offered two sizes as they did with the H2 mask. 5) worst of all, Chris Zephro, president of the TOTS, was rude and dismissive to fans with genuine concerns about emails and pre-orders and called them "whiners" on a video from the recent Mask Con. Add these all together and you have a man who cares more about lining his pockets than the fans and customers who have supported him through the years. The mask sculpt is terrific, no argument. That's not the issue for many fans who will no longer support this company.
Takota Ash how? Everything FAN-MAN said is true, Halloween stores got this mask before people that pre-ordered it, I even saw a Spirit Halloween have a 2018 mask 2 WEEKS before I got mine, numerous people have said that they’ve received rude emails responding to them asking about the shipment or order or not receiving an email at all, other peoples and my mask came in a bag which has a higher chance of being damaged while being shipped than in a box, AND the mask was too small for most people, including me, I can’t even wear it cuz it’s too small
Same thing happened to me at a gamestop years ago, I preordered a video game a month before it’s release date because it was coming with exclusive pre order content. I went back on release date and was told the games had not arrived, checked back the next day and nothing.... waited a few more days to give it time and was told they’d be getting the game in possibly next week! Guy wasn’t sure. I went to target that day and they had the same game with the exclusive pre order content. Just there on the shelves no pre order needed. I was soo pissed.
I agree if u pre order u should get it close to its release date I've pre ordered the good guy doll so fingers crossed it comes on time starting to get abit impatient now tho cos waited months already
I’ve gotten TOTS masks and they all have been bagged, not formed. Also, my pre-ordered mask was better than the one at Spirit of Halloween. I met the designer of the H18 mask and he told me there is a lot of yellow in the mask, but the lighting whites it out more. That’s my take.
Well I ordered a preordered item and usually get a confirmation email! I didn’t get one , so I’m not sure if you don’t get one till it’s shipped or not ! They did tell me check spam! They did confirm my address and gave me an order number thru email support
Mine just came in the plastic shipping bag. I wasn't impressed at first just because I noticed little paint flaws and figured if I waited so long then I should at least get a good copy, but overall I got a good mask. Its growing on me the more I stand back and look at it.
im having the same problem with the halloween kills mask. i bought the mask within the hour it came out. i still have yet to get it and i have seen that tons of stores have gotten the masks and they are not in short supply at all.
I love mine I keep seeing videos of people who said they got crappy ones they must not have ordered from the same Trick or Treat Studios I did because mine looks fucking amazing exactly like the one in the movie, trick or treat shows once again why they are the best
Mine was folded in one of the boxes that is about 2 inches tall. It was ok luckily but I was worried. I think it is a better mask then some of the others I have gotten from them. Not that any were bad but I feel this is better due to the hair, size and thickness of pull. I do think mine had a bit of lost detail compared to some others but not too bad.
I ordered a Michael Myers mask from China for $70, and it was actually insanely good. The hair is definitely better than the hair on that mask, and the paint job on mine is great. And since I am sure way less people ordered from this Chinese company, each individual mask ended up better. The shipping also only took 4 days. I would say that seems like a better alternative.
I love my mask. It is a fantastic mask for $50 some. Good quality, fits tight (which is a GOOD thing), and looks quite realistic. Mine seems to be a little darker/browner than the one in the movie, but oh well.
Trick or treat studios really dropped the ball this year. I pre-ordered a nameless ghoul mask in june which read would ship out late August or early September. Mine didn't ship out till the first week of October. Probably won't pre-order from them again either.
Travis, I can't believe you pre-ordered the mask back in June and waited about 4 months to get it? I pre-ordered this 2018 mask back a few weeks ago on October 7th and they stated 'Not guaranteed delivery by Halloween which was fine with me since I'm a collector and just wanted the mask. I live in TX in a city of about 100K and there weren't any stores in my city including Spirit Halloween to find it. But personally so far I've found TOTS to have quite excellent 'customer service'. I sent them an inquiry on their website and asked for a status of my Myers order and they emailed me back in the very next morning said my order was placed 'in queue' (in line after the other purchaser etc.). I got home today and they sent me my USPS tracking number and it stated 'shiipped' so I thought that they were handling my order quite good! I know these masks very so I'll follow up when I get it in a few days and can't wait to see it hoping for the best a lot of them vary in the paint job as you stated. I think the one you got in the small box looks excellent and thanks for posting this excellent video. I did pay $59.99 through TOTS but on eBay these masks are already selling for 125 bucks + doubling in value... But I'm not going to sell mine since as you stated I can touch it up if needed etc. But thanks for the excellent video again Travis and I hope my heads not too fat LOL although I tend to display them rather than wear them. Wish me well and thanks bro. p.s. Sorry they use a smaller box which USPS damaged but I'd give TOTS another chance. With that said, If my box is completely crushed, torn, and the mask is destroyed I will indeed sue the sh^t out of someone to get my money back!!! I'll send an update or post when I get it in a few days. I hope I get a really nice one since I love this mask.
Yeah mine took 5 months until I got it but man I have all TOTS Myers mask and at 70$ that's really a steal especially.bc it's molded from the same molds used for the movie, yeah The paint was off and has to much detail mainly on the forehead, spent maybe 10$ on liquid latex and paint, and now it's perfect, just put a coat of white and paint washed black, gave it that gray aged look
The mask is pretty good I think, I've seen a hell of alot worse from various other places throughout the years. Good lil piece for the collection though.
Wait I'm confused he pre ordered a mask that promised to arrive before halloween and it got there on the 1st. All his friends got the mask before he did so he felt left out and he said he could if just went and bought it from the store that was a couple blocks from his house. So why didn't he just do that
At least yours came in a box. They shipped mine in a padded envelope so it was extra squished when I received it, but it did regain it's shape just fine. Overall happy with the look and design of the mask. I also ordered two of the Michael Myers "Scare Fresheners" that are supposed to be vanilla scented. They smell more like old lady mixed with burnt hair. I had to air it out in the garage for a few days to get rid of the scent before hanging from my rear view mirror. The sad part is you can't leave a negative review on their website because every rating and comment is submitted and reviewed by them before posting and they did not allow mine to post
Split Rock they came from HHGregg 5 years ago but that place has since closed. I saw some that look almost identical at value City furniture of you have one in your area.
I just pre-ordered a Halloween 1978 pumpkin replica from tots website. It says shipping September/October but after I placed my order I received an email saying it was "on hold" and not shipping until October/November! So pissed. Total bait and switch. Gonna be even more pissed if they start showing up in stores. As I write this the page still says September/October so beware. They will not refund pre-orders.
I will never order from them. Had so many problems with trying to get them to answer my questions in emails and when they did they were really rude to me. Then I was waiting around for almost two months and it still hasn't shipped, so I cancelled my order.
This is actually kinda funny I was going to preorder one and decided against... bought 2 of them before most people got theirs in the mail, not to mention the customer service and disrespect that I have been hearing about has been horrendous!🎃🔪
Yeah i got told off from the company saying my mask was shipped in really shitty and paint was already chipping off and the mask was just in awful condition. They didnt help me out one bit.
I am hearing these stories from sooo many people...the sad part is most of the time TOTs produces good quality stuff...mostly. I am a big AWIL fan and was buying that line and when I tried the Nazi demon on it ripped in the back and I don’t have a big head! So it’s just display now.
had pre order too of the 2018 mask and have to say got it last week after 2 months waiting ....im very happy with it nice detailing nice painting i aint gonna touch it i guess the pre orders are more nicer in the paintings than you can buy in the store i had very nice copy its even numbered i have nr 59 there will be a diffrence in just store mask or the preorder ones i like the size i have small head for me it fits perfect grtz
@@creativecompositions3747 I had some pics on my old phone but I can take some pics when I get home, it looks like the one in the pic that tots advertises, especially after I restyled the hair.
I pre-ordered as well.. Got my mask last week.. It came in an envelope! Not happy with the mask.. It is super small. I can't wear it. I also think the paint job is not very good.
Not sure why this is an issue for you if you enjoy the mask, and think it's better than the ones you've seen in stores. Keep in mind, not everyone has seasonal Halloween shops readily available to them nearby, if they do, they might not have quality replication of movie masks. Other than the packaging, I'd say that you got a pretty solid replica mask
I bought two of these...one straight from Tots.. and one off eBay that was repainted and re-haired by an independent artist.... the one from TOTS took 3 months to get delivered and the eBay one took 3 days...the mask that was overhauled looks amazing..it’s screen accurate and scary..I would say to anyone who cares about accuracy to find a good artist and get it overhauled... despite the horrible paint jobs, these masks have really good molds...and you would be amazed what you can do with them 🎃
No mask quality as I said is quite nice, the paint up is so-so but that's to be expected with any mass produced mask. For the money nothing can touch it bang for the buck that's for sure.
I recently ordered a 2018 Michael Myers mask from TOT. Even though it is kinda cool, it was not the mask they showed in the picture. Not really impressed by them.
Just got one in the mail today and it came in a bag not a box the mask itself was pinched outward in the eye/nose area and I had to use a hair dryer to get the shape back but even then it pops back out after handling it ended up putting some tape on the inside to hold it in place lame
It's things like this people seem to overlook when it comes to TOTS for some reason and if you say anything people jump all over you like you're spouting blasphemy, it's sad.
good video man I did an unboxing for mine too and i had about the same thoughts as you pretty much but i think the more i look at it the more i appreciate it .
Because I pre-ordered months before under the impression it was going to be impossible to get before halloween unless you did pre-order it. If I'd have known I would have bought it locally.
@@creativecompositions3747 i feel you, man. We learn from mistakes, the thing is, you can modify itm(watch some tutorials), i saw a guy with a collection of those yesterday, he talked about hte same stuff, wich was present in some of the masks he ordered(had to re-paint and redecorate the details).
@@kyoryu1 I've been considering that or having someone re-haul it. Ford FX does some of the best re-hauls I've seen on these and does all new hair along with the paint up.
Hmmm, I don't get what's wrong with the new Michael mask. Usually TOTS masks are spot on and very movie accurate Edit: I just realized TOTS Michael Myers mask are pretty bad. Looks at TOTS H2 mask compared to Cemetery Gate Productions H2 mask
Dont panic, my brother in arms weights 140 kilos(i am from Perú). His head was big as a those mini Tv's. I gave him my JASON Voorhees mask, it looked like he needed 2 mask to cover his entire head. WTFFFFFF FOR REAL! 😂😂😂😂😂😂We call him the Peruvian Hércules(Of God of WAR PS3 GAME).
I felt the same way when I got mine. No point in preordering something that's going to arrive a month later than it arrives in stores. Mask quality is fantastic but that just isn't how a preorder should be run.
Great mass produced mask. I PO’d one and bought one at Spirit since they arrived first. I sold my PO one once it came in and actually made a profit starting it st a .99 auction.
I hope this don't happen with my Chucky doll pre-order. Im already paying £200 more than my sister paid for one, because I backed the Kickstarter and she pre-order from a local horror store. I'll be super pissed if she gets it before me AND paid £200 less for it.
Arnold Rivers hope that doesn't happen to you but as a lot of people on here have been telling me we should just smile and be happy with whatever we get no matter what 🙄
In regards to the comments about how private customers should receive the masks before stores; I ordered 100 of these masks for the shop I buy for back in January (this was before a picture of the production mask was even available). Why should you receive yours before a store does even though you ordered months after they did? As far as packaging goes, ie. folded and in a plastic bag, this is how most mass-production mask companies send their masks out to customers and retailers.
You make a very good argument and I'll be the first to admit I do not know how bulk order deals with retail shops work with regards to dealing with TOTS. However what you said also feeds into what I'm saying in why would I pre-order if retail stores such as yours will have it first, I can just buy it from you and support my local shops. As for the packaging, if you read the comments on here people are getting them in only a bag with no box at all which is unacceptable in my book.
Fair enough, I made these available for pre-order on my shop's website back in June with a notification that they wouldn't ship out/be available for pick up until mid to late August as that's when I received them. I also appreciate the desire to shop local/support small businesses. In regards to the bag situation, I always receive masks bagged (typically folded in on themselves) and squished into boxes (with the only exception being the early 2000's reissue of the Don Post calendar masks, which came with their own boxes) from all of the mass manufactured companies (TOTS, Zagone, Rubies, Fun World, etc.) but they all generally retain their natural shape. Prior to this I hadn't heard of anyone receiving their pre-ordered mask in just a bag with no box... Kind of shocking to me and totally not cool.
Thanks for weighing in, It's great to have perspective from someone on your end of the business that can provide insights us normal consumers wouldn't be aware of. What's your website and do you have any left? I've had people asking where they can get one without a long wait and I'll point them your way.
@@creativecompositions3747 Thank you for a kind and respectful discussion! The website is Caufields.com As of a few days ago, we're out of stock of the 2018 Michael Myers masks but are expecting another shipment next month. Thanks!
You can tell he was pissed the whole time lmao
One of the best mass produced masks ever released...especially with a few touchups, it becomes a museum piece! i'll be uploading my overhaul soon :)
Bro, the Tots Myers 2018 Mask that are customized sells for $400-500 on Etsy and Ebay.
Agreed, for a mass produced mask it is very good. Do an overhaul on the paint you can't really get much better!

Hardly looks like the one in the movie. And they were boasting that it is from the same mold used for the film mask.
Funny considering is comes directly out of the screen used master.
Christopher Zephro
It's from the mold, that's true. The paint job ruins it and of course it should be stuffed properly.
The rehauls on these are second to none.

The mask was wayyyy to small. Looks great though.
it is on the small side but tots says that is the actual size of the movie mask since it's the same mold.
I’m having the same issue right now. I pre ordered the Halloween 4 mask, and the quite riot mask. And still haven’t gotten the package yet. They came out almost two months ago.
Ordered mine last week. Hoping I get it before Halloween. They Saud it probably won't happen. Your room is exactly what I wanna do. I need manequins.
Dorian Lowder if you look around on eBay you can find them for about $100 shipped.
That was a legal issue with the spirit stores etc... they weren’t supposed to release them until the movies premier. The TOTS page says that the masks don’t arrive until after November. I ordered mine 36 days ago and I’m still waiting.
SinatraKennedy that's false. 1 party city released a mask early but they were allowed to be released around the 15th of September in stores
Backdraft 1331 it’s not false. I know one of the lawyers on the case. It is not public knowledge yet.
SinatraKennedy so this just slipped everyones mind in mid September? Including the guys at TOTS?
Backdraft 1331 it’s a shit show for sure. The stores were sent masks to sell the day after the movie hit theaters. On line only. Most states followed that rule. Texas (my state) did. No masks here at all. Only through AMAZON who sold them for 48 hours for $59.99 free shipping. I bought 3. The masks are now selling for up to $300 each on amazon. Price gouging bull shit. I’m a collector not a salesman. I got 4 masks (I also ordered one from TOTS direct) so that I could compare the quality but mainly so I could customize them individually. I’m even going to cut the eyes a bit on one to create a slight angle. The sides of the nose bridge needs to be slightly darkened on all of them.
My baby sitter took me to see the first one. It blew my mind. I’ve been a fan ever since.
Love your theatre room man can you show the front part some time like the screen.
Will do!
I pre-ordered by in September and was told not to expect it until November. I got it on Thursday, 10/18, the day before the movie opened. So go figure. Mine came in a back. Has yellow/green glow to it, but like many below are saying, for a $60 mask, I'm pretty happy with it. I did notice that yours has the mouth slit. mine does not. The lips on mine are definitely closed together.
My local Spirit Halloween store only received one and I was lucky enough to be there as it was put out.
I just pre ordered mine about 2 days ago.. hopefully it doesn't take long to get here.. also put a 5-7 business day shipping on it
Being him for Halloween?
@@saltybomba hopefully if it comes in time
@@saltybomba you?
@@keithjackson2932 yeah I am I've had the mask since last year and I'm being him again just having trouble finding the right coveralls since the ones I had were just a little big
@@saltybomba the last mask I had was from th he rob zombie version.. the mask was decent, but hopefully this is the best purchase of a mask that I make
Don't see what the problem is...they did a fucking superb job with this mask, and for the price it looks amazing! Repaint it if you aren't happy but I love this mask, well done trick or treat studios 👏🏼
There are plenty of problems to see. 1) most, if not all people who pre-ordered received masks long after they were available in stores. 2)customer service was atrocious with regards to this mask. No email confirming order or shipment, multiple emails for shipping updates ignored, a general sense of "we have your money so shut up and wait for your mask." 3) masks were shipped to some (myself included) in BAGS. No boxes, just a shipping bag. 4) the mask is too small for most people, likely the result of two molds (one for James Jude Courtney, the other for Nick Castle) being used for production. TOTS could have easily offered two sizes as they did with the H2 mask. 5) worst of all, Chris Zephro, president of the TOTS, was rude and dismissive to fans with genuine concerns about emails and pre-orders and called them "whiners" on a video from the recent Mask Con. Add these all together and you have a man who cares more about lining his pockets than the fans and customers who have supported him through the years. The mask sculpt is terrific, no argument. That's not the issue for many fans who will no longer support this company.
@@FortressofFanitutde you're a douche
Oscar Avalos he’s not a douche, he’s just stating facts
Takota Ash how? Everything FAN-MAN said is true, Halloween stores got this mask before people that pre-ordered it, I even saw a Spirit Halloween have a 2018 mask 2 WEEKS before I got mine, numerous people have said that they’ve received rude emails responding to them asking about the shipment or order or not receiving an email at all, other peoples and my mask came in a bag which has a higher chance of being damaged while being shipped than in a box, AND the mask was too small for most people, including me, I can’t even wear it cuz it’s too small
Takota Ash you’re just saying that cuz me and FAN-MAN are right, now I’ll shut up
Same thing happened to me at a gamestop years ago, I preordered a video game a month before it’s release date because it was coming with exclusive pre order content. I went back on release date and was told the games had not arrived, checked back the next day and nothing.... waited a few more days to give it time and was told they’d be getting the game in possibly next week! Guy wasn’t sure. I went to target that day and they had the same game with the exclusive pre order content. Just there on the shelves no pre order needed. I was soo pissed.
I agree if u pre order u should get it close to its release date I've pre ordered the good guy doll so fingers crossed it comes on time starting to get abit impatient now tho cos waited months already
6:28 when someone bangs at the door on Halloween night but has a adult voice.
I’ve gotten TOTS masks and they all have been bagged, not formed. Also, my pre-ordered mask was better than the one at Spirit of Halloween. I met the designer of the H18 mask and he told me there is a lot of yellow in the mask, but the lighting whites it out more. That’s my take.
Bill Flynn that's totally possible, lighting, camera white balance, etc could cause a color cast one way or the other. Thanks for pointing that out.
It’s a bit smaller because it is taken from the mould from the movie so it’s supposed to fit the actor
Well I ordered a preordered item and usually get a confirmation email! I didn’t get one , so I’m not sure if you don’t get one till it’s shipped or not ! They did tell me check spam! They did confirm my address and gave me an order number thru email support
Mine just came in the plastic shipping bag. I wasn't impressed at first just because I noticed little paint flaws and figured if I waited so long then I should at least get a good copy, but overall I got a good mask. Its growing on me the more I stand back and look at it.
They aren't bad, the mold is good and paint ups are ok. I've seen some repaints that just take it to another level though!
I wonder if their upcoming freddy gloves that are apparently made with real materials are gonna be any good compared to glove makers
I hadn't heard about that, I'd be interested in seeing how they compare as well!
im having the same problem with the halloween kills mask. i bought the mask within the hour it came out. i still have yet to get it and i have seen that tons of stores have gotten the masks and they are not in short supply at all.
Exactly, they really need to rethink how they do preorders.
Mine came in a bag...
Cameron McClellan just a bag??
travis fultz Yep
Mine also came in a bag with no protection whatsoever :(
That's crazy, guess I'll not complain about my little beat up box lol it could have been just a bag!
@@sashabrownpants3979 my $85 Fluffy came in a bag insane
I love mine I keep seeing videos of people who said they got crappy ones they must not have ordered from the same Trick or Treat Studios I did because mine looks fucking amazing exactly like the one in the movie, trick or treat shows once again why they are the best
Wasn't aware of there being more than one Trick or Treat Studio!
@@Demerest003 that was my point
There is more than one TOTS?
@@banjobill8420 its amazing how ppl dont get sarcasm
Mine was folded in one of the boxes that is about 2 inches tall. It was ok luckily but I was worried. I think it is a better mask then some of the others I have gotten from them. Not that any were bad but I feel this is better due to the hair, size and thickness of pull. I do think mine had a bit of lost detail compared to some others but not too bad.
Great video man i love your myers and jason prop in the background and all those masks man that’s great
Lately pre - orders have been strictly used to fund production.
I see it a lot in vinyl orders
After a good rehaul it'll look like the movie. My first one was the tots Halloween 2. It was like a blank canvas now it looks amazing.
I think the mask looked amazing after being put on.
I ordered a Michael Myers mask from China for $70, and it was actually insanely good. The hair is definitely better than the hair on that mask, and the paint job on mine is great. And since I am sure way less people ordered from this Chinese company, each individual mask ended up better. The shipping also only took 4 days. I would say that seems like a better alternative.
website?
Mines just got shipped on Friday...I hope that I get a good copy...
I love my mask. It is a fantastic mask for $50 some. Good quality, fits tight (which is a GOOD thing), and looks quite realistic. Mine seems to be a little darker/browner than the one in the movie, but oh well.
Trick or treat studios really dropped the ball this year. I pre-ordered a nameless ghoul mask in june which read would ship out late August or early September. Mine didn't ship out till the first week of October. Probably won't pre-order from them again either.
Hey man it’s ok calm down
I got a great copy last week at spirit. I’m keeping it stock. It’s my favorite piece now
I dig the home theater!!
Thanks! long time and lot of work to make it but so much fun!
Got mine 3 days after ordering on Amazon prime back in September and it looks terrific, although it WAS a third-party seller.
Travis, I can't believe you pre-ordered the mask back in June and waited about 4 months to get it? I pre-ordered this 2018 mask back a few weeks ago on October 7th and they stated 'Not guaranteed delivery by Halloween which was fine with me since I'm a collector and just wanted the mask. I live in TX in a city of about 100K and there weren't any stores in my city including Spirit Halloween to find it. But personally so far I've found TOTS to have quite excellent 'customer service'. I sent them an inquiry on their website and asked for a status of my Myers order and they emailed me back in the very next morning said my order was placed 'in queue' (in line after the other purchaser etc.). I got home today and they sent me my USPS tracking number and it stated 'shiipped' so I thought that they were handling my order quite good! I know these masks very so I'll follow up when I get it in a few days and can't wait to see it hoping for the best a lot of them vary in the paint job as you stated. I think the one you got in the small box looks excellent and thanks for posting this excellent video. I did pay $59.99 through TOTS but on eBay these masks are already selling for 125 bucks + doubling in value... But I'm not going to sell mine since as you stated I can touch it up if needed etc. But thanks for the excellent video again Travis and I hope my heads not too fat LOL although I tend to display them rather than wear them. Wish me well and thanks bro. p.s. Sorry they use a smaller box which USPS damaged but I'd give TOTS another chance. With that said, If my box is completely crushed, torn, and the mask is destroyed I will indeed sue the sh^t out of someone to get my money back!!! I'll send an update or post when I get it in a few days. I hope I get a really nice one since I love this mask.
rleary1 hope it arrives safely and you love it! Keep us posted.
Yeah mine took 5 months until I got it but man I have all TOTS Myers mask and at 70$ that's really a steal especially.bc it's molded from the same molds used for the movie, yeah The paint was off and has to much detail mainly on the forehead, spent maybe 10$ on liquid latex and paint, and now it's perfect, just put a coat of white and paint washed black, gave it that gray aged look
The mask is pretty good I think, I've seen a hell of alot worse from various other places throughout the years. Good lil piece for the collection though.
Ordered mine on July 10th wont be recieving until mid november. Never pre-ordering from tots.
Casey Duval what the heck? I thought if your ordered before the end of August or early Sept you were supposed to get it before Halloween?!
@@creativecompositions3747 Thats what they said, which is exactly why I don't trust tots.
Wait I'm confused he pre ordered a mask that promised to arrive before halloween and it got there on the 1st. All his friends got the mask before he did so he felt left out and he said he could if just went and bought it from the store that was a couple blocks from his house. So why didn't he just do that
@Galaxi I meant before he pre ordered it
At least yours came in a box. They shipped mine in a padded envelope so it was extra squished when I received it, but it did regain it's shape just fine. Overall happy with the look and design of the mask. I also ordered two of the Michael Myers "Scare Fresheners" that are supposed to be vanilla scented. They smell more like old lady mixed with burnt hair. I had to air it out in the garage for a few days to get rid of the scent before hanging from my rear view mirror. The sad part is you can't leave a negative review on their website because every rating and comment is submitted and reviewed by them before posting and they did not allow mine to post
Cool recliners what are they called? Where can I find one?
Split Rock they came from HHGregg 5 years ago but that place has since closed. I saw some that look almost identical at value City furniture of you have one in your area.
Prob should have just got it in the store. I got mine at spirit. And it looks identical to yours
Dallas Cowboys83 wait is it still at spirit?
Shit I haven't been able to find any masks besides the h2 mask
i dont understand i dont understand h2 mask at Amazon I got it in 2 days by I can’t find the 2018 mask
I just pre-ordered a Halloween 1978 pumpkin replica from tots website. It says shipping September/October but after I placed my order I received an email saying it was "on hold" and not shipping until October/November! So pissed. Total bait and switch. Gonna be even more pissed if they start showing up in stores. As I write this the page still says September/October so beware. They will not refund pre-orders.
Exactly, all we ask is that we get what we agreed to, not after paying they change the terms.
I will never order from them. Had so many problems with trying to get them to answer my questions in emails and when they did they were really rude to me. Then I was waiting around for almost two months and it still hasn't shipped, so I cancelled my order.
I've heard others say the same things, I've never tried to deal with their support directly myself and sounds like I should count myself lucky lol
I should've bought them and then resold them. I was there in early September when Spirit had dozens.
Couldn't you contact TOTS and cancel your order after buying the one a block away from you at the store? At least that's what I would of done...
This is actually kinda funny I was going to preorder one and decided against... bought 2 of them before most people got theirs in the mail, not to mention the customer service and disrespect that I have been hearing about has been horrendous!🎃🔪
Yeah i got told off from the company saying my mask was shipped in really shitty and paint was already chipping off and the mask was just in awful condition. They didnt help me out one bit.
I am hearing these stories from sooo many people...the sad part is most of the time TOTs produces good quality stuff...mostly. I am a big AWIL fan and was buying that line and when I tried the Nazi demon on it ripped in the back and I don’t have a big head! So it’s just display now.
At least you got a box. Mine came smashed in a bag.
That's absolute crap, there is no way they should be sending them in just a bag.
They sent mine to Europe in a bag.
Same here man
had pre order too of the 2018 mask and have to say got it last week after 2 months waiting ....im very happy with it nice detailing nice painting i aint gonna touch it i guess the pre orders are more nicer in the paintings than you can buy in the store i had very nice copy its even numbered i have nr 59 there will be a diffrence in just store mask or the preorder ones i like the size i have small head for me it fits perfect grtz
Some of the rehauled ones look terrible tbh, I was fortunate enough to get a prototype version which has great paint!
Got a picture of that? I'd like to see!
@@creativecompositions3747 I had some pics on my old phone but I can take some pics when I get home, it looks like the one in the pic that tots advertises, especially after I restyled the hair.
Mine was folded in one of the boxes that is about 2 inches tall. It was ok luckily but I was worried.
I pre ordered mine late August from Nightmare Toys and got it the first week of September. And being Canadian thy had a better deal for shipping
I pre-ordered as well.. Got my mask last week.. It came in an envelope! Not happy with the mask.. It is super small. I can't wear it. I also think the paint job is not very good.
Not sure why this is an issue for you if you enjoy the mask, and think it's better than the ones you've seen in stores. Keep in mind, not everyone has seasonal Halloween shops readily available to them nearby, if they do, they might not have quality replication of movie masks. Other than the packaging, I'd say that you got a pretty solid replica mask
Anyone know where can I buy the authentic Ghostface costume and mask? Not the Walmart crap one
mine came in a sack. and the printed out receipt was crumpled up and dirty.
I bought two of these...one straight from Tots.. and one off eBay that was repainted and re-haired by an independent artist.... the one from TOTS took 3 months to get delivered and the eBay one took 3 days...the mask that was overhauled looks amazing..it’s screen accurate and scary..I would say to anyone who cares about accuracy to find a good artist and get it overhauled... despite the horrible paint jobs, these masks have really good molds...and you would be amazed what you can do with them 🎃
But They Said Before Halloween 🎃 You Received The Mask Before Halloween So Your Not Happy With The Quality Of The Mask?
No mask quality as I said is quite nice, the paint up is so-so but that's to be expected with any mass produced mask. For the money nothing can touch it bang for the buck that's for sure.
I recently ordered a 2018 Michael Myers mask from TOT. Even though it is kinda cool, it was not the mask they showed in the picture. Not really impressed by them.
Yea companies always use the best copy, lighting, pro photographer etc so what you get never quite matches the brochure.
Just got one in the mail today and it came in a bag not a box the mask itself was pinched outward in the eye/nose area and I had to use a hair dryer to get the shape back but even then it pops back out after handling it ended up putting some tape on the inside to hold it in place lame
It's things like this people seem to overlook when it comes to TOTS for some reason and if you say anything people jump all over you like you're spouting blasphemy, it's sad.
good video man I did an unboxing for mine too and i had about the same thoughts as you pretty much but i think the more i look at it the more i appreciate it .
What stores are ppl buying these from because I’m unaware of any in my town.
I've seen them at Spirit and Halloween City/Party City
Are the Good Guy/Chucky dolls available to purchase yet?
I haven't seen anything about them if you find out let us know
Dang my head's 25 inches. I'll have to try one on in sprit later this year and maybe if it doesn't kill my head I'll get it 😂
They do run a bit small, I heard a rumor that the newer ones were actually a bit bigger but I haven't compared them myself.
im going to buy one but im going to repaint it
Danny where’d you buy it from?
TOTS
Your copy looks good but I think they all could use a decent repaint. The hair on yours looks far better than what I received.
They don’t come from the master movie mold. Rob Zombie has the original mold in his collection and has never let it be used for mass production.
This isn't the rob zombie mask this is the 2018 mask.
Finally got mine last week. I'm happy with it but I'm probably going to repaint mine as well.
If you live a few blocks from a store that is near your house...that why didn't you support the brick and motor store and buy it to begin with?
Because I pre-ordered months before under the impression it was going to be impossible to get before halloween unless you did pre-order it. If I'd have known I would have bought it locally.
@@creativecompositions3747 i feel you, man. We learn from mistakes, the thing is, you can modify itm(watch some tutorials), i saw a guy with a collection of those yesterday, he talked about hte same stuff, wich was present in some of the masks he ordered(had to re-paint and redecorate the details).
@@kyoryu1 I've been considering that or having someone re-haul it. Ford FX does some of the best re-hauls I've seen on these and does all new hair along with the paint up.
Hmmm, I don't get what's wrong with the new Michael mask. Usually TOTS masks are spot on and very movie accurate
Edit: I just realized TOTS Michael Myers mask are pretty bad. Looks at TOTS H2 mask compared to Cemetery Gate Productions H2 mask
It comes from the screen used master. Going to be hard to make it look closer to the movie ;-)
I have a huge head, my H2 mask barley fits on my head, so......
Dont panic, my brother in arms weights 140 kilos(i am from Perú). His head was big as a those mini Tv's. I gave him my JASON Voorhees mask, it looked like he needed 2 mask to cover his entire head. WTFFFFFF FOR REAL! 😂😂😂😂😂😂We call him the Peruvian Hércules(Of God of WAR PS3 GAME).
You do have to cut the mask makers some slack with the paint job, it's hard to mass produce masks and paint them fast enough to meet demand.
I felt the same way when I got mine. No point in preordering something that's going to arrive a month later than it arrives in stores. Mask quality is fantastic but that just isn't how a preorder should be run.
Most big rant i have is the size
I wish they'd sell Michael Myers masks in our costume stores.
Hopefully that will change, now that the new movie came out.
He said they did
@@xivwords5448 Not here. I live in Germany, so Halloween isn't a big thing here. We don't even get the day off.
Great mass produced mask. I PO’d one and bought one at Spirit since they arrived first. I sold my PO one once it came in and actually made a profit starting it st a .99 auction.
Same thing happened to me with the tots Kane mask and when I got it it had a crap load of latex skin tags on it! Total waste of money and time
I just got ToTs Fluffy $85 ....in a f'ing USPS bag ... that was ripped ... mask seemed fine
I hope this don't happen with my Chucky doll pre-order. Im already paying £200 more than my sister paid for one, because I backed the Kickstarter and she pre-order from a local horror store. I'll be super pissed if she gets it before me AND paid £200 less for it.
Arnold Rivers hope that doesn't happen to you but as a lot of people on here have been telling me we should just smile and be happy with whatever we get no matter what 🙄
In regards to the comments about how private customers should receive the masks before stores; I ordered 100 of these masks for the shop I buy for back in January (this was before a picture of the production mask was even available). Why should you receive yours before a store does even though you ordered months after they did? As far as packaging goes, ie. folded and in a plastic bag, this is how most mass-production mask companies send their masks out to customers and retailers.
You make a very good argument and I'll be the first to admit I do not know how bulk order deals with retail shops work with regards to dealing with TOTS. However what you said also feeds into what I'm saying in why would I pre-order if retail stores such as yours will have it first, I can just buy it from you and support my local shops. As for the packaging, if you read the comments on here people are getting them in only a bag with no box at all which is unacceptable in my book.
Fair enough, I made these available for pre-order on my shop's website back in June with a notification that they wouldn't ship out/be available for pick up until mid to late August as that's when I received them. I also appreciate the desire to shop local/support small businesses.
In regards to the bag situation, I always receive masks bagged (typically folded in on themselves) and squished into boxes (with the only exception being the early 2000's reissue of the Don Post calendar masks, which came with their own boxes) from all of the mass manufactured companies (TOTS, Zagone, Rubies, Fun World, etc.) but they all generally retain their natural shape. Prior to this I hadn't heard of anyone receiving their pre-ordered mask in just a bag with no box... Kind of shocking to me and totally not cool.
Thanks for weighing in, It's great to have perspective from someone on your end of the business that can provide insights us normal consumers wouldn't be aware of. What's your website and do you have any left? I've had people asking where they can get one without a long wait and I'll point them your way.
@@creativecompositions3747 Thank you for a kind and respectful discussion! The website is Caufields.com
