Oh man, I didn't even think of that. That totally makes sense that the holes are from when Tommy was stabbing him with the fence thingy.

The shape is better on the retro version too. It's still possible that you can flatten the 7" version with your fingers though. We'll see.
The red triangle is off too. It's not wide enough. Weird, these kinds of details are never lost on Neca. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that this is the first 7" Jason figure that was adapted from a retro and not the other way around.

I started looking for comparison pics but then noticed that you edited your post with them, saving me the trouble. Yeah, you're correct, the retro mask nailed the look better than the Ultimate one appears to. Again, not a big deal, but it is noticeable.
