Official Photos of NECA’s Clothed Sam Figure Show Off the ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ Icon With and Without Mask
One of the most exciting bits of news to come out of Toy Fair this past weekend was that NECA is returning to the world of Trick ‘r Treat, following up a figure of Sam that they released several years back with this year’s retro-style, clothed version of the iconic pumpkin boy!
The 8″ figure was on display at Toy Fair, and we’ve got official images and details today.
In scale with NECA’s other clothed figures, Sam stands at approximately 5” tall and is dressed in his footie pajamas featuring a removable burlap sack that reveals his unmasked head with jaw articulation. Ready for Halloween, Sam also includes a Trick or Treat bag and lollipop.
Sam will be returning to toy shelves in Quarter 3, 2019.

Alice Cooper Joins the “Music Maniacs” Line from McFarlane Toys
When you hear the label “Music Maniacs,” a few names probably come to mind. And we’re willing to bet that one of them is Alice Cooper, who is indeed joining McFarlane’s toy line.
McFarlane Toys has announced that their Music Maniacs: Alice Cooper action figure will launch for pre-orders on March 22, and you can get a first look at the upcoming toy below.
The “Music Maniacs” line is a spinoff of McFarlane’s popular “Movie Maniacs” line, which returned to life last year – though the focus is no longer squarely on horror movies.
Alice Cooper is most definitely a Music Maniac but he’s also a Movie Maniac too. As Luiz H.C. wrote on Bloody Disgusting back in 2017, “Cooper’s love of the horror genre goes far beyond his music, as the artist has been involved with several scary movies as well. From John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness to Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, it’s easy to see why the rocker is so iconic in the world of blood, guts, and ghosts. Hell, even Tim Burton’s charming yet lackluster Dark Shadows features an Alice concert as sort of plot point.”
Luiz’s article continued, “However, my favorite of Cooper’s contributions to the world of scary movies was his involvement with the soundtrack for Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. The main attraction was obviously the hit single He’s Back (The Man From Behind The Mask), which was written as a catchy homage to the hockey-mask-wearing killer.”
