After suffering near fatal wounds in Friday The 13th Part 3, the nearly unstoppable killer, Jason Voorhees, returns in Friday The 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter. Making his way back to Camp Crystal Lake to continue his reign of terror, he tears through the current inhabitants of Camp Blood, until he meets his match in a young boy named Tommy Jarvis. The young Tommy is a special effects wizard who understands the mindset of a freak and an outcast. In the fourth film in the storied franchise, Jason Voorhees is finally killed, only to be returned to life by the same person who originally defeated him (in Part 6). For their third Jason Voorhees Ultimate release, NECA brings together head sculpts and accessories from multiple classic releases and updates the paint scheme and masks. Armed with everything from a machete to a corkscrew and featuring multiple masks and head sculpts, this release is one fans will want to check out.
Toyark sponsor Dorkside Toys sent along the figure for us to check out. We have over 50 photos and a full review. Read on to check them out.

Overall
Packaged in a flapped window box that uses the iconic poster, this fits in perfectly with your existing Ultimate releases. The back of the box includes photos of the figure with some of the accessories. the interior of the box showcases a large photo of Jason Voorhees and the window letting fans check out the figure. Jason sits in a plastic tray with one twist tie holding the figure in. A cardboard backdrop is included. The final Chapter Jason Voorhees includes two hockey masks, two head sculpts, an extra right hand, a bloody machete, a bloody corkscrew, an axe, a bloody hacksaw, a bloody cleaver, a bloody knife, and a Pamela Voorhees tombstone.
I have been a big fan of the Ultimate Jason Voorhees figures so far. The Part 6 Ultimate was pretty fantastic, with great sculpting and some fun accessories. While the part 3 had a few paint issues, I definitely enjoyed handling and shooting the figure. I think this version, however, may be the best of the trio. The Final Chapter Jason Voorhees brings together two figures from their Friday the 13th Series 2 releases from 2013. The sculpt is largely the same, with no major changes that I could notice from photos of the older releases. The original sculpt, thankfully, still holds up quite well. Jason has about 25 points of articulation and great overall look. The paint work looks to have been updated and is a huge improvement over the Part 3 Ultimate. Blood stains look more natural, and his overall look is much less “clean”. The head sculpts feature great detail work, with sharp paints for the eyes and a nice gruesome looking series of paint washes. Paint color looks constant across the head sculpts and neck. Even his dirty fingernails are individually painted on the hands. From top to bottom, the figure looks great in hand.
Fans get two head sculpts, with one including the ability to impale the machete into his face. The two masks included have slightly different designs. I believe one is meant to represent the version seen in the movie, while the other is the version seen on the poster. Thanks to forum member evilekim for explaining the two masks. One is how the masks starts off in the film, while the other is how the mask looks near the end, with paint having been washed away by the rain. Jason includes a small arsenal of weapons, with most of them being blood covered. Jason also includes an additional right hand so that he can better wield those weapons. The peg for the right hand seemed a tad thin, so the hands didn’t sit on that too well and would fall off when moved too much. The hips were also fairly loose on this figure. Hopefully those are isolated instances and not too wide spread.
Those two issues aside, this is a fantastic overall release. Jason looks every bit as menacing as he should. The sheer number of accessories and the two heads and masks really make this a worthwhile pick up for fans of the franchise. Check out some select photos below and the full gallery after that.
