    Friday the 13th Part 6 -- Jason

    NECA might as well officially adopt the Hot Toys name - their quality and price point is unmatched in this scale.
    When you hold this figure in your hand, the weight, the craftsmanship...you know you got your money worth.
    I was going to break him down to checkout the body - they changed it somehow on this figure.
    But, I can’t undress him. His belt seems to be permanently glued together. I have tried peeking under it’s nooks...not willing to destroy it to do a body review.
    He has an entire sculpted neck that appears to be snapped onto the torso...direct contrast to other figures like Freddy whose neck is part of the torso.
    This figure also has swivel biceps.

    The choice of material and colors were perfect...even the outfit weathering is perfect.
    I was surprised to see he can actually store his weapons in belt sheaths.

    Monster/Slashers aren’t everyone’s gig, and that is cool.
    But this figure is probably right up there as one of my most favorite retro/8” clothed figures.

    Eye candy:

    Thanks for the review. Looks like THE Jason to get. And part vi was probably my favorite.

        Nice shots! Thanks for the review! I pre-ordered mine so it should be shipping soon from EE. Looking forward to it.

          Got mine today and love him! Great detail and awesome accessories. We were watching this movie last night so this was a timely arrival. One of the better ones in the series.

            I'm not into the slashers but I bought their first Freddy and Jason figures a couple of year ago, and they were excellent. Along with the Presidential monsters a few years ago, the best quality clothing on 8" figures.

            I was let down a bit by the astronaut suit on the recent apes figure, but the Gorilla Soldier was very nice. I liked the Rocky figure, but would like to see a ring version as well as Apollo Creed.

              ^^^ This latest Jason is by far they're best effort. It's hard to capture the paint app details in photos (especially on his mask) but it's a stellar piece.

                NECA definitely is on top of the game...I carry all their 8 inch retro and they keep getting better

                  ^^ditto. I've said many times - the bang-for-the-buck is totally there on NECA figs. There is absolutely zero buyer-remorse spending $29 plus shipping for that Jason #6.
                  MegoMeet helped me fill in a couple gaps thanks to some sweet deals from ya ;-)

                    Neca 8" retro remains my favorite line. I have ten now.
                    I love the details on this figure (belt, gloves, face). The figures are also sturdy and easy to pose.
                    To me, this is the perfect heir to the Mego throne. I do hope we'll get more than all versions of Freddy and Jason, I'm looking forward to some new licences.

                      Love NECA's 8" retro figures. Just picked up the SDCC Friday the 13th pack with Pamela and Jason. Well worth the money.
