Waxwork Records opens the Universal vault to celebrate Halloween with latest Spinatures

Published on: 30th October 2020

The US underground and pop culture specialist Waxwork Records is celebrating the witching season with the expansion of its partnership with Universal and the studio’s vault of classic Monster and Horror films.

This time it’s Halloween favourite, Michael Myers – as seen in Halloween II – and Halloween III’s Trick or Treaters that are emerging from the mist as the latest must-have adult toy fan collectables. The launch marks the latest extension of Waxwork Records’ Spinatures adult collectables range that left its mark last month with the classic 1931 Frankenstein figure.

The Spinatures collection is the first foray into the collectable toy space for the Californian record label, renowned for its cult and pop culture merchandise, but better known for its selection of movie film soundtracks produced on premium vinyl.

The Halloween II Michael Myers Spinature collectable figure is a detailed sculpt of the iconic slasher from the sequel to John Carpenter’s classic 1978 horror film, Halloween. The figure stands at four-inches tall, but is equally a menacing as its filmic counterpart, featuring detailed bullet holes, bleeding eyes, and with a firm grasp on a scalpel.

The figure has been created to depict Michael Myers in the terryfing hospital room showdown with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) from the 1981 horror movie.

Meanwhile, the ghoulishly masked Witch, Skull, and Jack o’ Lantern trick or treaters from 1982’s third installment of the Halloween movie franchise, come creeping in at 3.75 inches tall and include highly detailed masks, costumes, and candy filled Halloween masks.

These Spinatures portray the three iconic and carefree trick or treating kids on Halloween night unaware of the terror that awaits them! Each figure’s Halloween mask includes the iconic Silver Shamrock microchip button.

Bringing pop culture, toys and Waxworks Records’ affinity with the music scene altogether in one, Spinatures are highly detailed turntable-spinner mini-busts featuring iconic characters from pop culture, horror movies, and beyond.

Each figure is fitted with a hole in its base to easily attach to the spindle of your turntable and then spin along with your favorite records, or be displayed as a collectors item for the discerning pop culture fan.

Kevin and Sue Ellen, creators of the Spinatures range, told ToyNews: “We are so psyched to release official Halloween II and III Spinatures this spooky season. Michael Myers is forever etched into the public’s consciousness as Halloween’s official mascot, so it was crucial for us to create a collectible figure that captured his iconic likeness and haunting presence from the classic horror movie sequel.

“We couldn’t leave out the three trick or treaters from Halloween III: Season of the Witch! The detail on these little guys is insane.”

Many more Spinatures are to arrive this autumn and throughout the 2020 Holiday season including Dracula, The Mummy, The Phantom of the Opera, The Creature From The Black Lagoon, The Wolfman, and The Invisible Man.
