Hey...Wait a minute. Did I somehow concede my title without anyone telling me?




And that isn't even all of them, just what I can display...lol.

At Phoenix Comic Con this year...

While I haven't been fortunate enough to attend a proper horror convention to meet any of the Jasons of past and present, (I grew up in Hawaii and now live in Tucson, where these things never take place) I am fortunate enough to have an autographed hardcover of the Friday archive "Crystal Lake Memories", signed by Sean Cunningham, the creator of the series.

After that...my next favorite "collectible" if you will is this little guy...my son...whose first and middle name is formed from the names of Jason and his primary nemesis in several of the films, Tommy Jarvis. (which...in a weird bit of coincidence, is also the names of the leaders of the Power Rangers from those early seasons...lol.)


As for this figure, it really is amazing, and I was simply blown away by the little details, in particular the eye screens on the hockey mask, and the colored lures on the throwing darts, both details that were missing from the Sideshow version featured in my pics above, which cost me over a hundred dollars more than this one featured here. Friday fans, this is the Jason we were all waiting for.

I'm really looking forward to the ultimate Jason coming soon. As for others in the future, I really don't see why NECA doesn't just do a version for each movie, like they did with Freddy Krueger. I'd really like to see a new part 2, 5 (Roy), and X (pre or post upgrade, it wouldn't matter to me...) Maybe a nice warm reception from horror fans for this and the upcoming Ultimate Jason will help push it along....
