Jason Voorhees made his first appearance in the second installment of Friday The 13th slasher movie. It all started with an accident in a camping site near Crystal Lake. A mentally disabled boy was presumed drown because of the negligence of the camp counselors. That event triggered a string of massacre and surprisingly, the one who was responsible for all these murders was the dead boy himself, an adult Jason Voorhees.
Front view of Jason. The articulation for this figure is different compare to most of the figure from Revoltech. The sculpt was superb though.
Back view of Jason. It could be me but I thought Jason should be a lot leaner than what was depicted in this figure. Someone need to dig out this old movie and verify this.
In the original script, Jason was a mentally disabled boy without any deformity. It was Tom Savini, a make-up artist who made Jason deformed.
Now let us check out the neat accessories which came with this figure. Here is a pitch fork. Just nice to impale anyone who crosses Jason.
The same goes to this handsaw. Hmmm... this makes you wonder. Which is a lot more convenient? To hack off a limb using an axe or to saw it off using a handsaw? You can always use it for carpentry too like what Jason is doing here.
A machete is a very useful tool when you are in the woods. I know, cause I have one handy in my car.
This figure comes with a base. It looks like a portion of a stable with a hanging rope with some other items scattered on the floor.
Kaiyodo took a brave move to venture into the horror genre with the release of Jason. As an overall, this figure is not that articulated due to the design and placement of the joints. This was compensated by a large amount of accessories and a wicked looking base. All-in-all, this is still a great figure for any horror fans out there. Let us all hope that Kaiyodo will release a figure for Leatherface, Freddy and friends.
