When NECA revealed their Retro Mego Style Friday The 13th Part 6 – Jason Voorhees, fans were wondering if they would see new 7″ scale version in the Ultimate line. At San Diego Comic-Con 2015, NECA answered those questions by revealing the new figure. Now they have posted up details and new photos of the Friday The 13th Part 6 Ultimate Jason Voorhees 7″ Scale Figure. The figure is scheduled for release this December. Here’s more info direct from NECA:
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Friday the 13th Part 6, we present the definitive collector’s version of Jason as he appeared in the 1986 film Jason Lives!
This deluxe 7” scale action figure features a gruesome, freshly unearthed sculpt and over 25 points of articulation. It’s loaded with accessories, too: removable mask, a machete and a knife that both fit into sheaths on his belt, the fence post that reanimated him and his tombstone. Packaged in a collector-friendly Deluxe 30th Anniversary window box.
You can see all of the new photos by reading on.
Friday The 13th Part 6 Ultimate Jason Voorhees - New Photos and Details
I seriously cannot wait to get this figure. I'll admit when it was first shown at SDCC I was a little puzzled over the choice of part six (great film though), but I've come to really dig the choice over time. He should go great with Freddy and provide some good fun for photos.
Now if only we could get an Michael Myers in the ultimate line.
Joe, I know these are your thing, but I'm in on an Ultimate round soon for the personal shelves. Freddy, Terminator, and Jason here I got that ooh factor as soon as I saw them each time.
he's kind of "Jason in his prime look". not too zombie, not too potato sack".
Now if only we could get an Michael Myers in the ultimate line.
Regarding Michael, unfortunately the lack of license shoots it down. Easily it would just be the part one look and that box would have been SWEET.

I do have a couple of gripes (or nitpicks if you will) with this figure. The mask is too small (it should be wider), and I'm not a fan of this figure having two fisted hands. Also, you can see on figure's torso the gunshots that he takes as he is shot by Megan's father late in the movie, but curiously, he is missing the bullet hole in the hockey mask from where the final shot landed. Again, these are small things, and don't really detract from the figure all that much. Like many others, I cannot wait to get my hands on this guy.

And since it also goes with the theme, I'm curious if we will ever get the Winchester brothers from Supernatural. (Although it wouldn't surprise me if this eventually will become a Funko Legacy property.) It would be awesome to have Sam and Dean to battle these psychos...and would be made even sweeter since Jared Padalecki appeared in the Friday reboot, while Jensen Ackles appeared in the My Bloody Valentine remake, allowing those figures to make even more sense.
This is what I've been wanting ever since I missed that Mezco version years ago. This blows it away! Cannot wait for the holidays this year! NECA is batting 1000 right now and this figure just makes me very extremely happy😊
The pics are insane, wait until they reveal the packaging. Seriously great job from NECA with this one.

I think Randy from Neca might have said on Twitter that he might have an alternate hand. Either way, he has two fists hands to hold the fence post.
Overall I'm very happy they made the figure and it looks really cool. Not perfect, but great none the less.
I wouldn't even worry about the mask. Especially if you can look at a few figures next to each other in store.
Small gripes aside, this is the best representation of Jason Lives that I've ever seen.
I really like the details in that head sculpt, and even the how ragged the bottom of the pants are. Blood, bullet holes, this is great!
I can't stop looking at these pictures.

this is a work of art
Man, this figure looks SICK. I love it, although I have to admit that it's really odd seeing finished pics of it so soon after the release of the retro Part 6 figure...they're almost completely identical aside that one is all plastic and the other isn't. The Ultimate figure even seems to use some of the same sculpt from the retro figure, such as the head and the throwing dart pouch on his belt (and why shouldn't it? Those were perfect).
In a way this figure feels just a tiny bit redundant after the release of the retro one, but since I'm a whore for all things Jason of course I'll buy the thing, Part 6 being one of my all-time favorite Jason designs (more so than Parts 3 & 4). Besides, I realize that some people don't care for the retro line and have been wanting a standard-style Part 6, and this figure is a HUGE improvement from my old Mezco Part 6 (which I still love anyway).
Also, I'll buy almost anything Jason-related that NECA puts out just to help support the line and the possibility that they'll release more F13 stuff in the future.
Yeah, I've always had a soft spot for Part 6...yes, it's a bit more "wink-wink" and silly compared to the rest of the series, but it's nonetheless a great film that really establishes the base for my favorite version of Jason...unstoppable zombie Jason! Plus, Jay got more screen-time than he did in Part 6 than in any other film, and like you, I just really dig his overall design, from his outfit to his mask to his Batman utility belt o' death.
I agree with your assessment of the phases that the F13 films come in, but for me, it's a toss-up if Part 6 or Part 7 is my favorite Phase 2 film (I really love Jay's design in Part 7 as well, as well as the overall creepy atmosphere). Ideally, I'd also love to see an Ultimate Part 7 figure from NECA down the line.
However, it could just be a result of the softer plastic used for the mask and the fact that it probably wraps itself a tad around the head underneath it. Maybe? I don't know but I'll deal with it (the figure is otherwise awesome), but as you said, it's not 100% movie-accurate.
However, that one cop whose head got squished managed to unload a few rounds into Jay's chest at point-blank range before getting offed (this was before Megan's dad), so I assume perhaps the figure just reflects those bullet holes (skip to 1:24 in the video below)?

*EDIT* Wait a minute, look at the thumbnail of the YouTube video...it's from the scene where he decaps the paintball trio, and Jason clearly already has the bullet holes on his chest that the figure has (this is much earlier in the movie). Continuity error on the film's part (perhaps the scenes were filmed out of order), or maybe they're just old holes from having been shot in a previous time/movie?

That's "The Shape."
You would think that with as many times as I studied this movie in order to make my own costume, you would think I would have realized that those "bullet wounds" on the figure's torso are not actually bullet wounds, but from when Tommy was impaling him with the cemetery rod in the beginning of the film. Oops...my bad. I stand corrected.
Good catch...it is the shape. I was trying to flex my horror movie muscles without resorting to Wikipedia. I think I need more work...lol.
Also...that picture with Jason in his "final" resting place...is freaking awesome beyond words!
I've been reviewing these photos more closely and I realized another reason why the mask looks off. The Ultimate figure's mask is one flat color, as opposed to the mask on the retro version that has a more detailed paint job to create a weathered look like in the movie.
The shape is better on the retro version too. It's still possible that you can flatten the 7" version with your fingers though. We'll see.
The red triangle is off too. It's not wide enough. Weird, these kinds of details are never lost on Neca. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that this is the first 7" Jason figure that was adapted from a retro and not the other way around.

Yeah, but Ultimate Leatherface has a completely different head than the Mego version. Ultimate LF has an updated sculpt. Ult Jason's head was probably pantographed from the Mego.
