00:00 Be careful, Pennywise is gone from a physical monster to physical media.
00:06 Here's your spooky spot on the Spirit Halloween exclusive,
00:08 the It Chapter 2 Video Collectors Box.
00:11 [music]
00:14 [music]
00:31 Being that it was already mentioned that this is a Spirit Halloween exclusive,
00:34 one would then expect me to say I found this at my local Spirit Halloween store.
00:38 That would be a negative.
00:40 Unfortunately, though, going back to now two Spirit Halloween stores,
00:43 all their Video Collectors tape boxes have completely vanished off the shelf.
00:47 Backing that up just actually a little bit, not all of them have disappeared.
00:51 I think there was still Harry Potter and there was also Corpse Bride,
00:53 but I had little to no interest in either one of them.
00:56 Maybe Corpse Bride, but certainly Harry Potter seems like not something
00:59 I would want to be picking up during the Halloween season.
01:02 I ended up having to order this one actually over on Spirit Halloween's site,
01:05 paying a little bit more than the asking price already of $18.99,
01:09 which some have already said is a bit too steep considering the contents inside.
01:14 We have already looked at one of these.
01:16 In fact, I'm going to slide over the It Chapter 2 that we're about to have a look at,
01:19 bringing the earlier looked at Trick or Treat Sam.
01:21 I was happy actually in fact to see this one locally at my store.
01:24 I didn't have to pay a little bit extra for it,
01:26 but the It Chapter 2 will contain still six great items inside.
01:29 It actually says six items for one great price.
01:32 $18.99 though for what we get contained inside,
01:35 some would say that's a little bit steep.
01:37 Either way though, let's move the Sam one out of the way,
01:39 and we're going to have a look at, of course, It Chapter 2.
01:41 Now it's reversible.
01:42 One thing that's really cool about this is the fact that it is reversible.
01:44 So if you don't really like the idea that it has very visible things telling you
01:47 that it's not a video cassette tape like reversible art,
01:50 or the fact it has six items inside for one great price,
01:53 you can in fact flip this around.
01:55 I don't even know yet what the inside cover is going to look like,
01:58 having still not removed the styrofoam,
02:01 the shrink wrap that's wrapped all around the case.
02:05 The back of it, it does tell us at least that we're going to be getting ourselves a patch,
02:08 a button, decal, and a lanyard.
02:11 Two of those, by the way, the button and the decal are though times two.
02:15 You can see that there's Pennywise down below,
02:17 and a few images up the front from It Chapter 2.
02:19 But let's go ahead without any further ado and grab McCutcheons.
02:23 He's going to be joining us for this review.
02:25 Carefully cutting the plastic and not cutting my fingers.
02:27 Let's remove the plastic and free it.
02:30 See what evils await for us inside.
02:33 Have you had any luck finding these, by the way?
02:36 Now again, the one I was really the most interested was getting Halloween,
02:39 and Halloween is sold out right away.
02:41 You can't even find that one in stores, so I ended up having to order that one on eBay.
02:46 Paid a little bit more for that one.
02:47 Either way though, it is a case, as you can see,
02:49 like the old clamshell style cases from back in the day in the '80s,
02:53 opening up the contents.
02:55 You also have yourself a videocassette.
02:56 Now again, like the presentation on this, I think is worth the $18.99 asking price.
03:00 Getting this online also meant I had to pay then the shipping price,
03:04 so it was a little bit more than $18.99.
03:06 But basically you get yourself a VHS tape that looks like,
03:09 pretty much like a legitimate VHS tape,
03:11 other than the fact it is made of cardboard, not of plastic.
03:14 Before we actually check out the contents,
03:16 just going to put that there for a second.
03:17 As a side note, I do like the idea that they put the little green sticker down below there
03:20 that actually says "Whore."
03:21 I think that was a nice touch.
03:22 And let's just see exactly what the flip-around cover looks like.
03:26 Peeling this carefully, carefully.
03:28 I don't want to damage this.
03:30 Just remove this for right now.
03:32 And inside, so it's basically the exact same thing,
03:35 no real different than the trick-or-treat that we looked at already before.
03:38 The only thing that's really different is the fact it does now remove this sticker on the top.
03:41 It removes the little section down below that says "Reversible Package Art."
03:44 And it also says, this has also gone as well, the Spirit Collectors Box.
03:48 I don't really need any one of those.
03:49 I actually prefer it just to look like a VHS tape.
03:52 So I'm just going to slide this back in place.
03:54 But if you have had any luck to find these in the wild,
03:57 let me know down below in the comments section.
03:59 And in the upcoming video as well, not to tip my hat too early,
04:04 but we will also be looking at the Halloween II.
04:07 So I'm really looking forward to that one.
04:09 Oh, this is going to make...
04:11 I was going to say I'm going to damage this,
04:13 but I think I got that all the way in there.
04:15 And now we got ourselves just a regular case.
04:17 I think it looks much nicer myself.
04:19 Now let's go ahead and open up the contents and see exactly what we got inside.
04:22 If looking at the back here again,
04:24 now we don't even know now what's going to be gone.
04:26 Obviously the indication down below,
04:28 but we got ourselves a patch, right?
04:30 A patch, sticker, lanyard,
04:32 maybe not necessarily in that order,
04:34 but let's go ahead and just jump the contents out.
04:36 Make sure everything else is all out there as well.
04:38 And the first thing we're going to have a look at is time to float.
04:42 This would be the token patch.
04:44 So we get ourselves a little patch here that can then be sewn onto a jean jacket.
04:48 I guess any article of clothing, really.
04:50 It says embroidery threads are highly prone to melting.
04:54 Do not apply hot iron directly.
04:57 Heat iron for five minutes on high setting.
05:00 Pre-iron your garment while you plan to place the patch.
05:04 That's a tongue twister.
05:06 Place the patch, then place a lightweight press cloth over the patch.
05:10 Press firmly with the back and forth motion for 40 to 55,
05:14 40 to 45 seconds.
05:16 Turn the piece inside out,
05:18 and then with the back and forth iron motion,
05:20 do the backside patch for again 45 seconds.
05:23 And then you got yourself your iron-on patch.
05:25 It's a nice looking patch, though.
05:27 Let's put that to the side.
05:29 The other thing that we have in here as well is stickers.
05:32 I think we have two stickers inside.
05:34 Why did I not just open this?
05:37 Here I am showing you guys what it looks like inside the plastic.
05:40 I'm sure you guys will probably most likely want to see it
05:42 when it looks like outside the package.
05:44 Again, it's basically just like an iron-on patch.
05:47 Really light. I mean, I think that's good.
05:49 I mean, that's a nice little patch.
05:51 I'm not going to be putting that on a jack and walking around with it,
05:53 but I think that's certainly a nice little patch.
05:55 You could probably maybe even iron that just on a frame or something,
05:58 like a cloth, something you want to hang in your room, for example.
06:01 Maybe even mount it on your lampshade or something.
06:05 I think that would be a kind of fun idea as well.
06:07 Anyways, we have ourselves also some stickers times two.
06:10 The stickers will just, again, open up the bag,
06:13 because one is over top of the other,
06:14 so it's a little harder for me to show you guys what those look like.
06:17 One is "Come back and play,"
06:19 and you can see, really, the neat way they've done Pennywise.
06:21 The mouth area stripped away.
06:23 You can see sort of what Pennywise would look like underneath them.
06:26 All tongue twisters today.
06:28 And then we also have this one.
06:30 So it just says, "Come home,"
06:32 and then a creepy-looking Pennywise inside the balloon.
06:35 These are all stickers, so easily just peel the backs off
06:37 and stick them where you want to stick them.
06:39 I'm very selective, I will say,
06:41 when it comes to the application of stickers.
06:43 Then we also got ourselves a couple of buttons.
06:45 This one happens to say "Time to float."
06:46 The other one is Pennywise.
06:48 I'll spin this around so you guys can see.
06:50 There's Pennywise right there.
06:52 And the other one says "Time to float."
06:54 And then the last thing we got inside was a lanyard.
06:57 I have a couple of lanyards already in my collection.
07:02 I don't really-- I don't actually have a use for the lanyards
07:04 in the sense that I'm going to be putting a card, an ID,
07:06 or something like that inside.
07:08 But, I mean, from a standpoint of just hanging these in my office,
07:11 I have a couple of these little lanyards already.
07:13 There's It. I don't know, I think that's It down below there.
07:16 It's got a couple of balloons also with him as well.
07:18 Now, you can remove the card and then put in whatever ID card you want to work.
07:22 Like, say, if you work in a place that has to have, like, an ID,
07:24 something to tell other individuals,
07:26 and also as well your employment staff,
07:29 that this is the place where you work.
07:30 Again, you would just put your ID in there as well.
07:32 But we also have a cracked image of Pennywise
07:35 that's basically just on, like, a little kind of foam
07:38 or rubbery little figurine.
07:40 And then we also got ourselves the main lanyard
07:42 that says "It Chapter 2" on one side,
07:44 "Come Home" on the other.
07:46 And I do believe there's actually something printed on the inside also.
07:49 Just opening that up.
07:51 Oh, and then we've got Pennywise's eye.
07:53 Ooh, that's kind of creepy.
07:55 Could you imagine if you had flipped this around the wrong way?
07:57 Or, like, you were just putting it on your neck,
07:59 and you just looked in the mirror, and you saw this one eye sort of looking at you?
08:01 Pretty creepy.
08:03 Anyways, we did get ourselves a lanyard.
08:05 I think that's pretty cool.
08:06 It's got a little Pennywise that's attached then onto it.
08:08 And then we got a couple of buttons.
08:10 And we got a couple of stickers.
08:12 I like the look of the stickers.
08:14 And we also got ourselves an iron-on patch.
08:16 I think, again, for all of this,
08:18 the price of admission is not only just the fact
08:20 that we get all these little trinkets that come with it,
08:22 but also the fact that we also get ourselves, like,
08:24 a little clamshell VHS tape.
08:26 Now, whether you would say that that's still worth $18.99,
08:30 I mean, again, it's all relative for me as well.
08:32 Like, you know, $18.99 may seem a little bit of a steep price.
08:36 But then considering as well, like, you could go to a McDonald's
08:38 and buy $18.99 worth of lunch.
08:41 You eat it down, you scarf it down, nom, nom, nom.
08:43 It's already digesting in your belly.
08:45 Where's that money now?
08:46 That money is in your tummy.
08:47 At least here, you're getting $18.99 worth of physical something.
08:51 Something you could put on the shelf.
08:53 So if you are, like, a collector of old VHS tapes, for example,
08:56 this might be something that's right up your alley.
08:58 I think for $18.99, it's not bad.
09:00 I think for anything a little higher than that, I mean,
09:02 I feel the sweet price for this would have been more close to $15.
09:05 Not necessarily something that would be closer to $20,
09:08 'cause, of course, you add then tax
09:09 and all the other things that are on top of it.
09:11 This is certainly one of those things, I think, picking it up
09:13 and then having yourself, like, a spirit Halloween coupon,
09:15 usually it's, like, 20% off.
09:17 It's probably, like, a best time to kind of get something like this.
09:19 But do you think it's worth $18.99?
09:21 Let me know down below in the comments section.
09:23 And as well, let me know if you have been collecting
09:25 these VHS clamshell case collectors cases for yourself.
09:29 So far on this channel, we have looked at two.
09:32 There's, again, Trick or Treat Sam.
09:33 And we also had a look at the It Chapter 2 Pennywise.
09:36 In an upcoming video as well,
09:37 we will be looking at the Michael Myers Halloween 2 clamshell case.
09:40 Looking forward to getting that one as well.
09:42 But, yeah, if you guys have been collecting these,
09:44 let me know down below in the comments section what you guys think of them.
09:46 Or is this something you guys could collect
09:48 if you see these in your local, you know, your local spirit Halloween stores
09:51 if you happen to have them anywhere in your area.
