All I've had to date to represent Jay from Part 6 is the old Mezco figure, with was good for its time but is nonetheless looking a smidge dated now.

I got the Part 6 retro figure the day it hit near me, and this thing is amazing. It's spot-on to the movie, and I agree with everything in the review above. No issues with the sheaths popping off, the paint apps are perfect, and the accessories are great. Seriously, one of my all-time favorite Jason figures, and I even bought a spare just in case I break his fence post spear by accident.

Anyone hear any news of NECA doing a retro (or Ultimate) Part 7 at some point?

Might get a ultimate Part VII eventually, don't hold your breath. Other people have requested it before. Atleast they made the 18" and 7" Cult Classics figure.
I think the problem is that so many New Blood figures are out there. I personally thought it was overdone. NECA made a pt VII 18", 7", statue, and a bust. All the same sculpt. I currently have the 7" NECA, 12" Sideshow exclusive, and 12" Mezco. Don't think I'll be upset if we don't get one.

I wouldn't call Will the biggest Jason fan, but he's no doubt the biggest NES Jason fan. I may be up for the challenge
