That seems a bit inflated. Not to be rude or elitist about it, but I'm gonna need some facts to that, or I'm gonna call that number as BS.

So far, the only Jason's upcoming that I've heard of is the 1/4 scale, Sack Head and Dream. That's two Ultimates and one large scale. Sources on where 5 came from?

Five upcoming Ultimate Jason's is actually correct. NECA has already released Ultimate versions of Part III, Part IV and Part VI.

As for upcoming releases NECA has already stated Part II and Part V Dream sequence are coming later this year in addition to three more yet to be revealed figures planned for next year (Randy Falk stated this himself on twitter), bringing the upcoming total to five. In short before the end of 2019 next year we should have about eight different Ultimate Jason's total barring any additional announcements/ reveals that come in the mean time.

I'm happy for this release, but I figured that the tease they showed us several weeks back would end up being a repainted figure with new heads or masks. But I know this will ultimately help NECA pay for new tooling for other Jason figures which are much different than the the sculpts we've received so far so I'll be patient.

Part VII is going to be a tooling nightmare trying to incorporate articulation into such a layered and decaying sculpt. My take is that we'll see it last because of how involved it is and on account of Randy saying many times that Part VII is one of his least favorite films. My fingers are crossed that one of the upcoming figures will be an Ultimate Part IX.

If I had to take a guess the I'd say the three upcoming Ultimate for next year are likely to be Part V Roy Jason, Part VIII Jason takes Manhattan and the Reboot Jason figure from 2009.
