So it's the 13th but not a Friday, close enough. This finally got delivered today and thankfully nothing was out of sorts so I won't have to find one in store to exchange with it.

So technically this is my first ultimate Jason because it's actually my brother who has the other two (fun fact/reminder: two people share this account) and I feel like NECA knocked another one out of the park with this release. The part 6 figure was troubled with loose hips and then part 3 had the paint inconsistency from the neck to head section but with this figure nothing is loose and all the paint tones match. As a figure this is probably the best built of the three. The accessories are all nicely sculpted and well made (nothing rubbery or frail) and the blood paint is a nice touch on the weapons except for one, the machete doesn't look quite like it's been used to slash someone open as much as it seems like Jason dipped it into a pool of blood. Both masks are in good shape and go on and off with relative ease though there is some very minute misplacement where the chevrons go from red to grey, they don't line up 100% but it's easy to forgive since the grey is so faded. Overall it's an awesome figure of one of the franchise's best entries and it definitely gets right some of those things that the previous figures didn't quite manage to. If I had a part 3 figure myself though I can't say for sure that I would've gotten this since in a lot of ways it does seem like the same figure but with better paint and then I do have a small preference for the more physically abnormal hunchback part 3 body.


For visual comparison here it is with the other two: the evolution of hockey mask Jason thus far (3,4, and 6).
