It sounds like your a F13th diehard, and thaf I can appreciate. Just saying, look at this new figure, and compare it with all your Jasons, this will blow most away. This(IMO)is the best Jason mask to date on a figure. That alone nails it. I'm glad they took extra time on it, well worth the delay.
If anybody has the original version part 3 non bloody. You must buy this! Toss the old mask, pop this new one on. Here's comparison pictures I took below of the original part 3 Jason with the old mask, then with the new mask;

I can't disagree with the notion that the mask looks great on the figure. Even if my old bloody version had not broke, I would have picked up the Ultimate just to hijack parts off of it.

As for the hands being discolored on the bloody Final Chapter, I did notice that, and honestly, I got nothing there. I always just imagined that they were differently colored due to the grime from all of the slaughter he had done up to that point. I mean...he did crush that kid's head against the shower wall, and I'm sure something had to has splash out of poor Crispin Glover's head when he took the cleaver to it. Right? Lol...

Totally. I was just looking at it on my shelf, and while there's a big difference between the bloody and non-bloody Part 3 figures, does Part 4 really need a "bloody" version? The regular release is already pretty bloodied up as it is. Hell, here's a shot of both figures side-by-side and you can barely tell the difference:


Nice comparison shots! And just in case anyone was curious, here's a dead-on shot of Jason from the movie to use when judging which NECA mask is truly the best. Honestly, and maybe it's just me, but the new NECA mask STILL looks off...the movie mask appears to be longer/more oval. Plus, while the eye holes on the original NECA mask were indeed too small, the holes on the new mask appear to actually be almost a little too big. Totally screen accurate probably would have been somewhere in-between the old and new masks, perhaps?

And, for giggles, here's a shot of MY original, non-bloody Part 3 Jason. For some reason this particular mask actually looks a little more accurate to the movie (at least at the bottom...alas, it widens and warps towards the top). It's really a subjective, nit-picky thing all-around as to which one is really the best, really.

And, finally, my battle damaged Part 3 Jason, head-on:

I'll post shots of the figures with the new masks on later after I get around to opening up the Ultimate figure.

There is a difference between the bloody and non bloody final chapter figures, and while not significant, it's enough to make me think that an Ultimate of this figure could eventually be on the horizon. The stock photos of that figure show blood all over both figures, but on the original FC (Final Chapter) figure, it's actually fairly clean, with the only blood on the figure being on his head from the axe wound. The bloody FC figure has blood all over it however (and done rather well I might add...with realistic tones of maroon, copper and brown to simulate dried blood) as well as a bit more dirt and grime on the hands and pants. Both figures come with different accessories, and have different headsculpts. The bloody version has a different facial expression, as well as a wound on the side of his face where Tommy blasts him with the machete in the film's finale. The wound is also large enough to fit the machete in case you want to relive that scene.



And if anyone is wondering, the heads from the FC figures fit on the new Ultimate with no retooling needed, although the pants color would be inaccurate if you did, because apparently Jason swapped pants with someone between the time of his battle with Christie and his waking up in the morgue.

Good points on the mask...I've thought about that myself. The new mask on the ultimate looks to be an amalgamation of three different masks, the part 3 (colors and design,) part 8 (the shape and placement of eyeholes) and the reboot (overall contours and shape). The mask also might look a bit different too simply because we can see Jason's eyes in the original film, something that wasn't quite so easy to do or even possible in the sequels, and that factor alone can give the mask an entirely different appearance, as it plays into the trickery that comes with lights and shadows.

Interestingly enough...after taking a closer look at the mask on the Ultimate, and one of my full sized NECA made masks (Video Game Version,) it's nearly the same, exact build. Perhaps NECA used a hyper scaled down version of that mold...
