#102: Cinema of Fear Jason

Growing up, I was always aware of the Friday the 13th movies (I even dressed as Jason for Halloween one year when I was 7 or so), but I never actually saw any of them until some time after Jason X was released. So of course I was looking forward to getting a Star Wars sized Jason figure. Representing Jason as he appeared in Friday the 13th part IV: The Final Chapter (one of the better films in the series, starring both Crispin Glover and Corey Feldman!) the figure goes for a fairly iconic look. He comes with an axe and a machete, both appropriately splattered with blood. The mask is well detailed, and matches up with its appearance in the movie pretty well. What's really cool about it is that it is removable. Underneath the mask, it is a pretty good representation of his unmasked appearance in the movie. Of the three figures in this series, this is the only one I had a decent look at beforehand, thanks to an earlier release as an exclusive, so I knew what I was in for. It's a cool figure, and the sheer novelty factor of having a Star Wars figure sized Jason really counts for a lot to me.
