I will walk that statement back a little bit. They are s******* all over fans of the franchise.

NECA is a company that both delights and frustrates me in so many ways, that it has become a love/hate relationship. I love that we have Jason figures in 2018, but I am frustrated they continue to give us ones we don't need or want. The vast majority of us didn't want this. All this was was an excuse to repaint an older figure, and slap on a few new accessories that could and should have been included the first time with other releases. But hey...we get Chevy Chase Jason, so I guess we should be happy right?

Neca has had this license for close to a decade now, and they still have not given us an updated chapter 7, 8, 9, X, FvJ, Reboot or Roy (outside the Mego.) They have also not give us an updated Pamela or Child Jason (also outside the Mego.) Meanwhile, Freddy has an updated or ultimate version of nearly every one of his major looks (along with a few oddities) in both Mego and standard 7 inch forms. We have also received some oddities from out of left field like the Mego Hitch-Hiker to pack from TCM, SNDN, and freaking Paul Reiser figure (because people were just DYING for a Carter Burke I'm their collection.) Meanwhile, the rest of Jason's catalog remains in the back burner, unless it can be done for super cheap as a repaint.

After a while, you start to wonder what their level of commitment is to the franchise, especially when they remain murky when they give their reasons why, and often become confrontational when fans call them out on some of their shady responses.

As for Neca's quality...I won't dive into that rabbit hole too deep. It raises my blood pressure. They always look amazing, but all I'll say is that one shouldn't have to feel like they're excavating brittle dinosaur bones, nor using similar procedures when removing their figures from the packages.

I do want that Turtle set though...oh...but it's a very limited SDCC exclusive. Love/hate relationship. See what I mean?
