I said it elsewhere, but it bears repeating. Why did they even bother? NECA's has almost the same accessories, looks way better, and costs a fraction of the price.

I’ll stick with my $25 Neca ultimate figure all day before spending $80 on this

I love Jason and this is a decent-looking figure, but what these guys said...I'll stick with my NECA Ultimate Part 3 figure. At $80 Mezco priced themselves right out of the competition.

My biggest issue with this one is the cloth outfit. It's way too clean looking and the fabric used on the shirt looks too bulky for the look they're going for. I'm usually able to look past that on a NECA Mego, because those are only $25 - $30 compared to $80. It's odd, the cloth on their Frankenstein is perfect, but they seemed to have regressed here.

Another thing that caught my eye is the change in skin colour from hand/ wrist to forearm. It's very noticeable with his arms straight down. I can't imagine how awful it will look with his arms up or bent.

That's NOT what Mezco is going for...this is supposed to be a legit serious figure and the approach they took cheapened it. Add in the price differences, and yeah...NECA wins all the way. |

Funny...I was one of the people that originally knocked Mezco for making an $80 Jason figure, yet I seem to be the only one who preordered lol
I get what everybody is saying, no doubt. However, I like the removable masks, detailed accessories, and the fact that he’s 6” scale. After preordering the Michael Myers, I needed to get another slasher in Mezco’s One:12 line. The clothes could use some reworking, and I wish the eye holes in the mask were more accurate. Keep in mind, once he sells out, the price really goes up. |

Plus, it will be extremely poseable...from the looks of it, you’ll be able to recreate every kill from Part 3, including the eye-popping head crush. I agree that the eye holes on the mask are a bit disappointing. I’d love for them to rework it a bit to be more accurate. No one has gotten the shape or details exactly right on the Part 3 mask on an action figure. |

I’m with you, man. I’m a completist when it comes to Jason stuff, so I was always in on this...but I think the final product turned out better than initially expected. One:12 always look better in hand than they do in photos.

As a huge Jason fan, I wasn't initially thrilled with the reveal of this guy back at Toy Fair, much for the same reasons as everyone else. The mask...the offerings from NECA, and the price, all kept me from even thinking about pulling the trigger. After mulling it over for a bit though, I decided to go ahead and pre-order. It wasn't until EvilKim reminded me here that this was indeed a 6 inch scale figure, and that the NECA versions, MEGO styled or otherwise, were not. I NEED a Jason that fits in with the rest of my 6 inch figure collection, and preferably, one that can actually be posed. Not to mention Kim's point on how they price jumps on these things...
Worst comes to worst, I don't like it in hand, and it hits the aftermarket. Either way, I'll get my money's worth. On the mask, it looks a bit stylized honestly...very similar to that Sideshow Collectibles polystone statue, or even their more recent 12 inch figure (which I have and love.) It wouldn't surprise me if it gets a few tweaks between now and October (like NECA did with their Part 3 Ultimate Jason,) as they still got some time ahead of them. After it releases, I'm also sure that it also won't be long until one of the excellent customizers out there (such as Cain's Crypt) takes a stab at it... |

Gguuuuaaaggghhhhhh....I might be re-considering as well, because I'm such a Jason completist as well and the fact that, at 6 inches, I might be able to take some fun pics of him with my Marvel Legends stuff. We'll see.
I'm such a pussy. |

Looks really good.
BUT!!!: Why is there alyways Jason in his Part III Outfits. Companies like Neca and Mezco should create Jason in his Freddy VS Jason outfit. Or even better: JasonX Version. But i also hope, that someday Mezco will create an Freddy Krueger Figure also. |
