00:00 if you're home alone don't answer the phone here's a look at NECA toys scream
00:04 ultimate ghost face action figure
00:26 the icon of Halloween returns with this brand new ultimate edition action figure
00:31 featuring over 25 points of articulation and a real fabric cloak first before we
00:37 get a face reveal let's grab the tape measure and see how tall the ultimate
00:40 ghost face stands now the reason why we are actually in fact going back and
00:44 looking at this figure again I got a couple of requests from you guys to see
00:47 if I could look at this figure again leading up to the eventual release of
00:49 that new ultimate ghost face that we will be again from NECA toys I think
00:52 within about a month or so so I thought it also would be a good time to go back
00:56 and maybe add some new commentary track to a figure that I really did praise the
00:59 first time I had looked at him will I still be praising the figure again this
01:02 time I'll have to certainly stick around to find out ultimate ghost face though
01:06 stands about seven inches in height or the figure is going to be about 17 and a
01:10 half centimeters tall speaking of commentary I think I even commented in
01:14 the review of ghost face the first time I looked at him that was strange on the
01:17 back of the packaging that they listed him as the icon of Halloween yeah I
01:21 don't know if I necessarily would have said ghost face was the icon of
01:24 Halloween when we already have an icon of Halloween here's what the figure
01:27 looks like with Halloween to Michael Myers this is the Michael Myers package
01:30 by the way along with Sam Loomis I have also looked at several of the ghost face
01:34 I think in fact I looked at all the ghost faces that NECA had released over
01:37 the years but I do want to bring in my favorite not necessarily from a face
01:41 standpoint because I do think that while there are things I don't necessarily
01:44 like about this ultimate version of ghost face and of course we will be
01:47 getting that newer one soon I did think that the face was one of the better ones
01:50 that we've gotten from ghost face but I did think though the hood was handled
01:53 better with the retro cloth release here to his left now over to the accessories
01:59 to come in clue with ghost face the figure has several knives the figure has
02:02 several swappable heads the voice changer and even a scythe the scythe is
02:07 actually a thrown away scene I believe from scream 4 in which that barn party
02:11 that they all go to ghost face is walking around with a scythe and I think
02:14 in that scene in fact he's using quote these zombie mask something that really
02:18 never saw light of day until technically you could say that mask came back in
02:22 scream 7 the one that we just recently got so we're gonna be looking at all the
02:26 individual accessories I guess things first we'll start with the figure comes
02:30 to clue with his little voice box now the voice box we've actually gotten in
02:34 fact even with that retro cloth release although the retro cloth was a little
02:37 bit bigger than this one right here it's cast mostly here in a kind of cream
02:41 beige plastic it's so small and being very careful not to drop it on the floor
02:45 because this would be the kind of thing that once fallen to the floor I'm sure
02:48 I'm never gonna be able to find it so I'm just gonna put that to the side the
02:51 figure as well comes with several knives one knife that you may recognize right
02:55 away is probably this one right here this is his modified buck 120 I don't
02:59 think guys can actually see it or not it looks like it has already been
03:02 generously used in fact actually all the knives that come included ghostface have
03:05 already been used this one has probably plunged its way into several victims
03:10 bodies or even one victim several times it looks like the blood is actually
03:14 started to dry or coagulate in one area and then still remains wet in some of
03:19 the other areas I think the only thing about the knife is that they didn't
03:22 paint the end of it because I think in the buck knife the buck actually has a
03:25 little bit painted silver on the end of the handle but still nice little
03:28 recreation of the knife that you normally then wields he also comes in
03:31 clear with this knife too and I think you would have also had this at one
03:34 point in the movie it looks like it's been again quite used and I like the
03:37 varying degrees of blood that's been dried on the end of the blade and there
03:41 were any one of these by the way can be held in his hand the figure comes with
03:44 some swappable hands we'll talk more about that in a moment and then the
03:46 figure also comes in with a butcher knife something more you'd expect to see
03:49 with Michael Myers and yet comes in clue with ghostface at one point you would
03:53 have used this knife also as well I like that he doesn't just simply come with
03:56 the buck 120 but he actually comes to some other knives as well he also comes
04:00 include like I said already this scythe now the scythe is something I think is a
04:03 thrown away scene from scream 4 if I remember correctly in which he
04:07 actually is wielding the scythe the scythe unfortunately for me at least
04:11 broke one of the handles while I was trying to fit this into his hand I think
04:14 it was this handle to end up snapping off if you look at it though there's
04:18 very little plastic that attaches the handle to the rest of the main part of
04:21 the scythe so when you are putting this in his hand for example just be careful
04:24 these especially because the grip that he has in fact it was actually this hand
04:28 was the culprit to try to get this into his hand is very tight quarters it would
04:33 always be best advised and yet I didn't even listen to my own advice to soften
04:37 the hand first and plot in hot water just soften up the plastic from there
04:40 it was a lot easier to fit the scythe in there but it was certainly say the first
04:43 time you're doing it you're probably gonna be breaking the handle off I hate
04:46 to be the bearer of bad news but you're probably gonna break that handle off the
04:49 scythe looks good that doesn't have that any blood necessarily on it so he's yet
04:53 to use it but I do like that the bird edge of it actually is a lighter color
04:56 than the rest of the scythe blade nice little accessory not something I'm gonna
05:00 be necessarily displaying with ghost face but again I always appreciate the
05:03 fact that neck and includes the accessories that they do the figure as
05:06 well comes with some swappable hands gripping hands more so in retrospect I
05:10 probably should have used maybe this hand for holding the scythe because it's
05:13 just a little bit bigger in fact actually this one is better suited for
05:16 say holding the butcher knife the plastic is pretty soft as well that's a
05:19 lot easier pry this away from the palm whereas this this one unfortunately has
05:24 the fingers already attached to the thumb it's next to no rather it's
05:27 impossible to pry the fingers away so it's probably better to use say this
05:31 hand for example for holding the knife or this hand even to use the scythe put
05:35 those hands and weapons aside the figure as well comes included with three
05:39 swappable head sculpts depending on pick your preference as to really how you
05:42 want to have the figure displayed a real argument obviously is always the case to
05:46 probably get another one of these ghost face or another two or another three or
05:50 another four although now that we are gonna be getting that ultimate release
05:53 ghost face you might very well want to hold off on getting this one and wait to
05:57 get that one instead but the figure though came included with four
06:00 interchangeable heads obviously the chalk white default head is the one that
06:03 starts with this figure but then if you have the option you can also swap these
06:07 out for the various different heads that we're also gonna be looking at here
06:09 first the figure comes with basically the same ghost face mask as already
06:13 other than this one just been generally splattered with blood he has it all
06:17 across his eyes he has it all across his mouth and of course it's a really nice
06:20 gory way to have the figure displayed all of these by the way easily pop off
06:24 the ball joint I'll show you guys how that works in a second but again like I
06:27 really like this one may not though be my go-to when it comes to ghost face
06:30 figures but I like the idea whenever they get the chance that splatter blood
06:34 across the face of a figure the figure as well comes included with the glow in
06:38 the dark mask or you could say as well the stab mask I just happen to have
06:41 myself my black light here I'm gonna shine it across the front so you can
06:44 kind of see hopefully see there you go you can see how well that glows now for
06:50 me oh it actually did absorb the light pretty good there we go now for me again
06:54 like being that this is a glow-in-the-dark isn't just a selling
06:56 point for this but more the fact that it actually looks like the stab poster mask
07:00 I really like that they probably even could have brightened this a little bit
07:03 further and just done away with the whole idea of actually making this
07:05 glow-in-the-dark and rather just made this a bright green mask like it would
07:08 have been for the poster art for stab and then there's also this mask which at
07:13 one point would have been just a thrown away scene but now had we not already
07:17 gotten that ultimate release denounced by NECA could have easily been a
07:20 serviceable stand-in for the ghost face that we get in in scream 7 can't even
07:24 think the fact that we already have a scream 7 now scream 7 or is it scream 6
07:29 no backtracking a bit scream 6 scream 6 is mask of course is the older masks
07:34 that the killer is now going around and tracking down so we get the kind of
07:38 chance to see not only the costumes but all the earlier masks from the earlier
07:41 films and the more main go-to mask that ghost face has isn't as much cracked and
07:46 damaged as this one but it's very similar now we are gonna be getting that
07:50 ultimate release of ghost face I think in the coming month or so that's gonna
07:53 be a little bit more white and still has the cracks it isn't gonna be as dark of
07:57 a brown is what we're getting right here but again if we didn't have that
08:00 ultimate release this would have been a great stand-in for right now for to get
08:03 that scream 6 mask I keep wanting to say 7 but if you wanted to change out the
08:08 masks first of all we'll pick the figure up right here and well I want to show
08:11 you guys what the defaulted mask did look like now overall I did like the
08:15 mask it does have like the varying nose is one thing that's a little bit
08:19 different oh many people did comment that this look like the original fun
08:22 zone the fun zone peanut eyed ghost I could see that a little bit I mean one
08:27 thing about the nose is it's got a little bit more of a heart shape than I
08:30 think the original fun world mask would have had I think the original fun world
08:33 probably would have been more triangular in shape I think the eyes are nicely
08:36 handled I think as well the way they've sculpted the mouth looks good as well my
08:40 biggest thing really about this figure and something though I didn't really
08:43 mention too much about when we had this figure looked at the first time around
08:46 was the biggest issue was that the hood was too close to his face there really
08:50 isn't a way I mean you can't widen necessarily the hood front it's always
08:55 gonna be really close in quarters to the rest of his face and while maybe
08:58 necessarily it's still a superior face from the retro cloth release I still
09:02 think like I like the hood a lot better on the retro cloth figure I also really
09:06 like to bite with the retro cloth that it had sort of more that sparkling
09:11 effect that sometimes the cloak would have had in the movie it doesn't really
09:14 have any of the cloak or the sparkle it has basically just more of a matte black
09:17 finish now again if you want to change the heads it's just a case of rolling
09:21 back and putting back the hood there and then you're just gonna grab the head and
09:24 just remove it from the ball joint it's very easy to do let's say for example
09:27 you wanted to use yourself the zombie mask we'll just pop that in place now
09:31 any one of these by the way if you're having a hard time to pop onto the ball
09:33 joint you just heat the head in hot water probably should have even heated
09:37 this a little bit more at one point I'd actually had planned in this review to
09:40 put on the bloodied head but I just decided at the last minute I see I don't
09:45 even have it all the way on there but I'm just gonna put the hood on right now
09:47 so you guys can see how that looks like I mean really the hood does keep
09:51 everything in place that if you didn't get the chance like I didn't get the
09:54 chance to get the head properly attached onto the ball joint the hood does a good
09:57 enough job of kind of keeping everything at bay the thing only about it though is
10:01 that the hood is way too close to his head and eventually when we do get that
10:05 ultimate release that we are gonna be getting again pretty soon I hope that
10:09 the hood is gonna be a little bit bigger and wider than what we get it doesn't
10:12 look as bad from the side certainly doesn't look at all from either side but
10:16 from the front it's just way too close to his face there should be a lot more
10:19 added spacing gapping in between where the hood is and the inside of the mask
10:23 because it looks just too tight in quarters maybe one of the reasons why
10:27 somebody said it's not really true in ultimate ghost face as it's more the
10:30 ultimate fun world ghost face mask or the peanut eyed ghost but overall like
10:34 again it's a little good-looking head sculpt I still probably would go back to
10:37 just the idea of going with the og mask myself but I like the idea that the
10:41 figure came included with as many heads as it did let's right now at least pull
10:45 back the hood we're just gonna pop the head back off I didn't want to go back
10:48 to kind of basics let's pop this head back in place I know very I didn't
10:52 necessarily heat this one but this was this is the one that's been sitting on
10:54 the ball joint this whole time and let's just carefully put the hood back in
10:57 place if you are also wondering if the hood has a wireframe the answer is no
11:01 it's doesn't seem to have a wireframe at least that I can see but the biggest
11:05 problem again it just sits already mentioned way too close to his head for
11:09 the rest of the figures body one of the biggest problems that had this figure
11:11 plagued was the fact his elbow joint I think was prone to breaking now mine
11:15 knock on I don't really have wood in front of me but knock on wood mine are
11:19 still fine the one thing that's the detriment to this figure is the fact
11:22 that I think they actually glued the sleeves to the forearms so even if you
11:26 did actually break the joint on the elbow there was really no way to roll
11:29 the sleeves up you can see that they've kind of glued them in place so just be
11:33 careful if you happen to pick this figure up and you've yet to really open
11:35 them up just be careful to know where that joint is and know that there's
11:39 restrictions right away when you get guys get them first opened up you want
11:42 to just make sure that you're bending them properly in place that if there is
11:45 resistance relax reluctancy there's something tell you don't move any
11:48 further don't move any further whatever you do in case that actually does break
11:52 again mine seems to be okay but again it's really hard when you can't get
11:56 access to see where the elbow joint you can kind of feel it it's right there
11:59 there's the swivel joint that allows the arm to rotate and bend it back and forth
12:02 but there's really no way to actually see it's because they've glued the
12:05 sleeve in place I did also want to show you guys the cloak now the cloak is kind
12:08 of more just an all dark black fabric the fabric is pretty good actually it's
12:12 kind of more of a stretchier material that they would have used but it doesn't
12:14 have sort of that glimmer and shimmer that the original masks the original
12:18 cloaks would have had in the movies what it does have though at least is it does
12:21 have the little little rags that he has coming out from the bombs of his sleeves
12:25 and again using sort of more of a stretchier material to get the job done
12:28 one thing that's also interesting about this figure is if you lift the robe up
12:31 you can kind of first of all see the inner workings of the figure you can see
12:35 where first of all his abdomen joint is or the upper torso bend is but you can
12:39 also see as well like there's no lower trunks instead of what they've done just
12:43 simply because again the clothes can be covering over it anyways they've just
12:46 basically attached the legs by pegs so when you are putting the figure like if
12:49 you have the robe over top of it you can kind of feel the rigid areas where
12:53 there's no like it's it's kind of like a really bony scrawny individual like if
12:57 you ever see somebody's really really skinny and it seems like their thigh
13:00 bones are sort of sticking out kind of the same similar thing I don't want to
13:04 use that as a comparison but it's very similar when you actually look at
13:07 Ghostface like when you put the robe over top of it you can kind of really
13:10 feel like the bones are protruding out from the tops of his legs of course from
13:13 the lower half of that he does have his just regular pants does have brown boots
13:17 this time around brown shoes this time around he does also the peg holes on the
13:20 undersides of the figures feet now for the figures articulation let's just put
13:23 back actually you know what I'm gonna roll that back up in a moment but first
13:27 I want to go back to his head sculpt the head sculpts gonna ball into on a ball
13:30 joint so yeah it does rotate back and forth up down and all the things in
13:34 between the upper torso and actually just before that the arms do hinge out
13:37 now I'm gonna tread very cautiously on this figure I already know the
13:41 limitations when it comes to this figure because I've already had in my
13:43 collection for a while I had actually at the beginning this video you know it's
13:46 that I kind of took everything out of the packaging just because at one point
13:49 I had put this guy back in the card just because I was expecting to get that
13:52 ultimate release again whenever it gets released so like the figure does have a
13:57 hinge in his in his shoulder but it's really tight on mine I'm not gonna bend
14:00 any further than what it is right now I'm getting about a 45 you probably
14:03 could easily bend it more than 45 the arms do move forward and back there is
14:07 the bend at the elbow that allows at least the form to rotate back and forth
14:09 but just tread cautiously while doing that hands rotate all the way around now
14:14 again I'm just gonna like lift up lift up the cloak so you guys can see sort of
14:17 sort of the the inner workings of the figure has an upper torso ball joint so
14:21 yeah that allows the top torso rotate fine and good but he doesn't have any
14:25 waist swivel you see like it's just basically a stock block of plastic the
14:29 legs do hinge out there on ball joints you can see there as well it does
14:33 swivel at the top of the thigh the figure does have a bend in the knee that
14:36 only allows the lower leg to rotate back and forth and there of course is an
14:39 ankle pivot up and down this way and back and forth this way as well there's
14:43 things I like about this figure overall I think he does things better than he
14:46 does things worse the things I'm not necessarily keen on is not necessarily
14:50 the face I think the face is handled well some would say that this is a true
14:54 likeness of ghost face but I think it's close enough some would also say they
14:58 look looks and more resembles the fun world peanut eyed ghost I don't see that
15:02 I mean obviously there are people that are a little bit more dedicated to the
15:06 details when it comes to ghost face and could really rhyme off the differences
15:09 between all the all the screen movie masks but for me at least it gets the
15:13 job done when it comes to ghost face my biggest issue necessarily isn't the face
15:17 it isn't even the elbows I didn't have really any issues with the elbows my
15:20 biggest thing is the fact that the cloak the cloak hood sits way too close to
15:25 ghost faces face if only they had allotted a little bit more space and
15:29 again I only use this as the comparison while it isn't as good of a face as I
15:32 feel with the ultimate release I feel like again one thing that was done
15:36 better on this release is the material that they use for the cloak and how much
15:39 allowance they gave to the cloak hood now it's probably rather redundant for
15:44 me to say this figure is worth picking up when we all very well know we are
15:47 gonna be getting ourselves a version 2 ultimate ghost face pretty soon from the
15:50 folks over at NECA toys is it still worth to go back and try to track this
15:54 figure down I don't know I mean honestly for me at least being a fan of the
15:59 scream franchise and the ghost face figures we've gotten over the years from
16:02 NECA I think if you are one that still is a completionist it's still think it's
16:06 worth to go back and try to track this one down I don't think necessarily it's
16:09 worth to say go on places like eBay and pay some crazy prices if the scalpers
16:13 or sellers at the time they're not always scalpers just people that are
16:16 looking to part ways with their things if they are selling them for too high of
16:19 a price let's say you know $100 for this figure maybe not maybe not if you can
16:24 find him for the price that he was going for that at the initial time probably
16:27 like 35 to 50 dollars in the first place and he are a fan of like getting all the
16:31 scream figures then yes I think it's still worth getting this guy he does
16:34 have the benefit of the scythe for example he does have the benefit of all
16:37 the accessories not to mention the three now actually counting for swappable
16:41 heads of course according including the defaulted head that he has on his neck
16:44 right now for interchangeable heads now the ultimate ghost face that we are gonna
16:48 be getting has a lot of that same stuff anyway so of course when we eventually
16:51 do have a look at that figure I will be bringing this guy back out and we'll
16:55 obviously do the rightful comparisons between one ghost face and the other
16:58 still though I like the look of this one I mean obviously it was played with some
17:01 problems with his elbows for example I don't have problems with my elbows not
17:04 my elbows but the elbows of ghost face and I still had also the problem with
17:08 the one thing with the scythe the scythe handle was very prone to breaking I
17:11 broke mine I end up having to glue it back in place no harm no foul the thing
17:15 also about this ghost face is the fact I has already mentioned beating a dead
17:17 horse I'm sure already is the fact that the hood was just way too close in
17:21 quarters to his face if only the hood was just a little bit more allotted
17:24 space a little more gap a little more bag here on his head I think it would
17:28 be in a better looking ghost face than maybe what I had said in this review
17:31 it's still a nice looking ghost face but I'm still anxious to see what we're
17:34 gonna be getting with that ultimate version 2 ghost face when he eventually
17:37 does get released what do you guys think of this figure let me know down below in
17:41 the comment section and are you excited to get that new ultimate version 2 ghost
17:45 face when he does eventually get released if you have already gotten this
17:48 figure as well if you already have had this figure in your collection on your
17:50 shelf let me know if you've had any issues with him now I know again he was
17:53 plagued at one point with real problems with his elbows many collectors had said
17:57 that their elbows had snapped on their ghost face was yours one of the
18:01 casualties I hate to bring up you know the old bad memories but let me know
