Many details are different between part 3 and 4 and many fans want Part 4 back out.

As the saying goes - if you don't like it don't buy it
If I know Jason? I won't go there with you...

I'm quite aware that the original Final Chapter figures (which I own all of) had alterations in the head, neck, torso and hands, most of which were extremely subtle (especially the torso...) but were indeed different from those same features of the Part 3 figures (which I also own all of.)

I also know that Ted White was a method actor in his approach to Jason, who spent very little time interacting with the rest of the cast while on the set unless he was in costume. He was also deeply ashamed of his role as Jason initially and asked not to be credited in the film, and he nearly quit the film altogether due to the awful treatment of Judie Aronson, who developed hypothermia during a scene in which White was supposed to kill her while she lied naked on an inflatable raft. But whatever...I guess I don't know anything about Jason.

The point that you missed due to you choosing to nitpick details and throw insults, is that the figure still feels like a missed opportunity due to the fact that it is a re-hash (or as the original working title to Part 5 was known as "Repetition") of something we've already received. The most casual of fans won't notice fine details like slightly longer fingernails, missing chevrons, and an unbuttoned bottom button on his shirt to seperate this upcoming figure from the previous Ultimate figure. It will be to them, literally, nothing more than a reissued Jason with a different headsculpt and a different colored pair of pants.

This point feels a bit intensified when there is a slew of looks and appearances for Jason that we've yet to receive, or have already received in the 8 inch MEGO scale as opposed to the standard 7 inch one that many of us primarily collect. I find it disheartening that there are already more Ash Figures from the Evil Dead line than there are for Jason, and Jason has been in more films than Ash and his line has had an even lengthier head start.

As for part 4 being the one that everyone wanted put back out...I'm not sure what pool of fans you've been interviewing, because around here, it's been quite the opposite. Around here, Part 7 Hodder has been by far the most requested look for Jason for a number of years now, but if you showed up more than 8 times a year, you would have known that.

It would also do you well not to insult fans for giving constructive criticisms or for knowing when to call a spade a spade. If anything, it should make you a bit happy that fans feverishly care so much about your projects, that we're willing to spend as much time as we do praising, speculating, fantasizing (or for that matter, bitching...) about them on a web forum. And time well spent.

By the way...did you know that Part 8 was only film in the original Friday the 13th series to NOT feature a stalled car? Or that the first time we see Jason as an adult in the films, he is actually being played by a woman?
