00:00 Is it just me or does Sam seem a little bit softer? Here's your spooky spot on
00:05 the Funko Pop Movies Trick-or-Treat #1036, the Spirit Halloween
00:09 exclusive Sam flocked edition.
00:13 from the cult hit trick-or-treat comes Sam the mischievous spirit of
00:37 Halloween who enforces the holiday ancient traditions first wear a costume
00:41 second hand out treats third never blow it up jack-o'-lantern and four always
00:46 check your candy to the untrained eyes Sam looks like at the other trick-or-
00:50 treaters but what lurks underneath the burlap sack and orange footed pajamas is
00:55 anything but sweet while Sam is there feeling all felty let's go ahead and
01:01 grab the tape measure and see how tall this Funko Pop exclusive stands it is
01:06 it lost on me of course the fact that this is gonna be just an exclusive more
01:09 for the fact that it's actually been flocked and I'm guessing it's probably
01:12 just using the regular standard Sam body that we did get from before but still
01:16 though I did find this one as an exclusive over at Spirit Halloween I
01:20 went to their store just recently in fact and really wasn't planning to pick
01:24 up anything until I saw this one sitting on the shelf of course temptation got
01:27 the better of me and here we are right now the figure though of Sam stands
01:31 about three and a half inches in height or it's gonna be about nine centimeters
01:35 tall I keep saying I'm not gonna be getting any more Funko Pops and yet here
01:40 we are again sliding over though the sand that actually has the flocked onesie
01:44 and bringing in the earlier looked at exclusive Sam which was also an
01:48 exclusive the Spirit Halloween this though was the deluxe edition of course
01:52 of Sam that had him more sitting down with his sack and jack-o'-lantern still a
01:55 piece that I love to put out every single year if comparing though the two
01:59 you can't see the flocking now added to the onesie pajama does brighten up
02:03 things quite a lot more and while it doesn't seem he has as many of the
02:06 details showing here on this burlap sack I guess again the draw of this is the
02:10 fact it's got a flocking to it something that none of the Sam's can say they've
02:14 had before that while I may dispute maybe that the price was a little tad
02:19 too high when it came to Sam the flocked version of him was actually $18.99 here
02:23 Canadian at my local Spirit Halloween store had I ordered him online I would
02:27 have even paid even more for the shipping so I'm actually glad if
02:30 anything I found him locally picking go up the same and getting a closer look at
02:33 him I don't believe I actually have the original Funko pop Sam but I'm looking
02:37 only by memory alone and assuming that this is probably using the exact same
02:41 body of course the head is gonna be exact same the body I'm guessing would
02:45 also be the same and he's also carrying around the same thing the little
02:48 hollyhock chocolate bar there seems to be a blade I'm gonna do my best to get
02:52 too close to it because I don't want to be cutting myself either so at least
02:55 he's got that he doesn't have the lollipop so he's got the hollyhock and I
02:58 can't imagine that would be something else that's exclusive to this figure in
03:01 a way I sort of feel like they should have done a little bit more to this than
03:04 just simply adding flocking alone by maybe even ripping away part of his face
03:08 for example or even having an unmasked portrait would have been one way to also
03:11 making this guy exclusive but the thing about this is just the fact it's got
03:15 some flocking to it while the face looks to be remaining the same and it's nicely
03:18 painted for what it is you've got the buttons now nicely painted there in
03:22 circular black you've got a little stitching there in the middle there as
03:24 well one thing it does lack a little bit by also bringing back in the original
03:29 Sam that was the exclusive I think from last year you can see like I think
03:32 they've done a much better job of painting the burlap and well you know
03:35 for a Funko pop they're a little bit more stylized the burlap end of things
03:39 at least you can see a little more of the threading being visible this one
03:42 seems a little bit more washed out it seems a little bit more faded it
03:44 certainly doesn't have the depth and contrast that the other one had still it
03:48 has a rotation in the head so that nothing in that way does actually change
03:52 the threading though not the threading the flocking though you can see like the
03:56 shoulders are though really close to the head this is one thing that's got me a
03:59 little bit concerned over time anyways natural flocking will just start to fall
04:04 off a figure so eventually as I have this figure on my shelf over the years I
04:07 may start to notice things that start to wear away like the flocking may start to
04:11 start disappearing on on elbows for example anything that usually has a
04:15 joint for example tends to be always the areas that kind of start to wear away
04:18 first the thing though I'm really concerned about is the fact that the
04:22 shoulders are so close to the head that moving this back and forth as I'm doing
04:26 it right now knowing well and good that I'm actually probably doing damage to it
04:29 I would imagine that that would start to probably shred away some of the flocking
04:33 that they've actually done to the body now flocking what it is generally in the
04:37 case and I don't think they've actually changed the process usually though you
04:40 run an electric electrical current to something so it basically in adheres an
04:44 electrical static charge and then they basically shoot things at it's the
04:48 flocking the flocking then sticks to the surface of the plastic and that
04:51 basically arrives us with what we get right here for Sam the flocking does add
04:55 more more to the touch something a little bit different I mean obviously
04:58 his body looks to be exactly the same we've already looked at the fact he does
05:01 have a little Hollyhock candy bar he still has the fingerless gloves
05:03 everybody was wearing fingerless gloves even on Halloween but I don't think
05:06 anything is really necessarily different about it it's kind of kind of more
05:09 texturally different it is obviously a little bit brighter as well and I will
05:13 say admittingly I mean while I could say finding fault for the fact that it's
05:16 only solely just exclusive by the flocking alone I do actually like the
05:19 idea that it does have flocking the only thing about it though is I don't know
05:23 the longevity of it I'm sure over time it will start to degrade and all
05:27 the areas already mentioned like the elbows and anything that's on a joint he
05:30 does have some additional details at least they painted the back of the
05:32 buttons so it doesn't feel like necessarily just literally through
05:35 flocking at this and then just sort of left it as it is there's definitely a
05:39 rhyme and a reason for where they had to put it so I liked again like they put a
05:42 little buttons there they painted of course or they flocked at least the end
05:46 the little end of his foot at pajamas and while everything is really then
05:49 flocked the only thing that isn't actually flocked on the bottom of Sam's
05:52 feet so of course when it comes to him standing you're not gonna have as many
05:55 issues of the actual figure standing because the flocking is not kind of
05:58 getting in the way of things you know all in all for what it is I mean again
06:01 it's very limited when it comes to the articulation but that kind of goes
06:03 without saying when it comes to these Funko pops anyways just to bring back
06:06 in the original Sam I will say though from like from a flock standpoint yes
06:10 it's great you get an exclusive because it's got some furry footed pajamas on it
06:15 but I kind of actually still like this one just a little bit more I like the
06:18 darker colors that they've used for his footed pajamas I actually like the
06:21 coloring that they've used better for the burlap sack for example and maybe
06:24 now in hindsight I didn't need to necessarily drop the $18.99 thank
06:28 goodness at least I had myself a 20% off coupon I think if it wasn't for the fact
06:31 I had a 20% off coupon that was burning a hole in my pocket that's what that's
06:35 what old people like to say it was burning a hole in my pocket but if it
06:38 wasn't for that necessarily I may have not necessarily even picked up the flock
06:42 Sam more again temptation than anything else realizing as well I probably should
06:46 have been brought in the bus when the bus kids was was also an exclusive I
06:50 think last year maybe she was the one that was an exclusive last year the
06:54 deluxe Sam was maybe like even the year before that but it always seems to be
06:57 the case like spirit Halloween always gets those exclusive Funko pops and I
07:01 always keep telling myself I always keep saying to myself I'm never gonna get any
07:03 more Funko pops proms this this time this time around this year I'm not gonna
07:07 be doing it and then sure enough I go to a spirit Halloween and they have that
07:10 little that little temptation sticker let's just bring back in the box right
07:13 here where it says right there spirit Halloween exclusive and of course it
07:16 does say flocked between those two and the fact that I really love trick-or-treat
07:19 more than enough temptation I think to pick up it for $18.99 I think it's still
07:23 a little bit steep for really what you're getting I can't really even
07:26 recall what the deluxe version of Sam was going for he's probably well into
07:29 the 20s but I think maybe for casual collectors I would not say pick this one
07:33 up necessarily but if you are one like me that always gets roped in reeling in
07:37 another sucker if you are one that likes me that like me always likes to get the
07:42 exclusive these things when you see them at spirit Halloween stores I think it's
07:45 I think it's an interesting pickup probably just not worth though the $18.99
07:48 that he was going for though what I did though find strange about Sam was he
07:53 wasn't in the same area where their normal exclusive Funko pops would be
07:56 those Funko pops are usually kept relegated to those impulse items what
08:00 they deliberately do is they sort of give a zigzag line that you have to
08:03 stand in before you get to the cash registers and within that line of course
08:07 there's all the shelving around you the temptation of getting extra keychains
08:10 pens and blind bags all those things that you didn't necessarily think you
08:14 needed when you went first into a spirit Halloween store but now that you're
08:17 standing there for an extra couple of minutes you kind of look around and say
08:19 well you know what I didn't really necessarily need a Michael Myers key
08:22 chain but it's there anyways I might as well just grab it no Sam actually wasn't
08:27 there there were some Funko pops but it wasn't until actually my daughter called
08:31 me over to look at something else that I noticed that Sam was on the outside of
08:35 the impulse items strange really the fact that they would have had him out on
08:38 the outside because I would have thought if being an impulse item people would
08:41 probably have wanted to spot this guy before they hit the register but he was
08:45 sort of buried away and there was about three or four of them so I don't know
08:48 whether he's still actually in stock I mean again I'm only basing it from the
08:51 spirit Halloween store that I have in my area if you guys are interested though
08:55 it's always the case when it comes to spirit Halloween's the closer you get of
08:57 course the Halloween the less likely there is gonna be of stock of these
09:01 things so if you guys are interested like for example to get the exclusives
09:04 whether this guy will be carried over to the following year because of course one
09:07 of the I can't remember the kid the kids named the clown girl from the bus ride
09:11 kid the exclusive from trick-or-treat last year was also still stocked this
09:16 year on the shelf so maybe flocked Sam will still be available as of next year
09:20 but of course time will only tell if you guys again are interested to get this
09:23 one here in Canada at least he was going for $18.99 it's a bit high it's a bit
09:28 high I would have probably said $15 at most but again with the 20 20% off coupon
09:33 that's another thing that they always rope in as well with you kind of can
09:36 look at things and think to yourself well I'm not gonna really pay the price
09:40 that they're selling it for but concern I have myself a 20% off coupon I would
09:44 be a fool not to buy that and that ended up happening with a sucker behind the
09:48 camera have you by the way been collecting any of the spirit Halloween
