SDCC 2015 Friday the 13th Pamela and Jason Voorhees Retro 2-Pack - Toyark Gallery

Awesome pictures Joe!

Thanks.

I've got to second that...these pictures are some of your best ever. It's so touching how you posed little Jay and his mom. You really get it! *sob*

Anyway, this set is indeed amazing. Both figures are incredibly well-done and I'm still surprised that NECA actually tooled a smaller body for Jason just for this release, especially one that's as well-articulated as the full-sized retro figures (or perhaps better- Jason has double-jointed elbows!). The paint apps are perfect and yes, while there is a skin tone difference between Jason's head/hands and the rest of his body, it's not a big deal, especially if you pose him with his shirt on.

I lucked out and nabbed one of these sets during the flash sale NECA had on their site...all of their other con-exclusive stuff was up for a while, but these sets disappeared almost instantly. I'd had been totally bummed if I had missed out. And considering what the stand-alone retro figures usually sell for, $50 for this set was pretty fair.

Thanks for the kind words.

And yeah, as I was posing and shooting these, all I could think about was how gut-wrenching the back story to the first film is. Sure, Pamela loses it over the years and becomes a monster, but that moment when she tells the story of Jason's drowning always gets me.
