I know NECA can't help it but it goes to show how anally retentive copyright law is when you can release one figure of a guy in dark blue coveralls and a Shatner mask but not another just because they're technically from two movies distributed by different companies.

Still, I'm willing to bet if they released a Michael with a thinner, taller body and a different-shaped mask/head and labelled it a Halloween II or Halloween '18 figure that the legal department of whatever company wouldn't know the difference. Look at all the Pinhead figures that are supposedly based on Hellraiser III while they still somewhat resemble Pinhead from the original or Hellbound.
