Friday The 13th 2009 – Ultimate Jason Voorhees by NECA – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on May 13, 2019 at 2:50 pm by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

For the 10th anniversary of the films release, NECA is revisiting the Friday The 13th reboot with a new Ultimate Jason Voorhees Figure. When the film was originally released in 2009, NECA had produced a figure based on that films Jason. The film tells an all-new origin story that pays homage to the original series. The young disfigured Jason witnesses his mother’s death, causing him to grow up in isolation near Crystal Lake. When young adults trespass on his territory, the now adult Jason meticulously takes out each to protect his land. The film mainly pays homage to the first three films in the original franchise. We see Jason first in the sack mask disguise, and then in a hockey mask that he discovers.

With the new Ultimate figure, NECA resculpted the body from their original release, adding new articulation, packed in more weapons, and modified the unmasked portrait. the figure has just begun to show up in stores. Our friends at NECA have sent along the figure, and you can check out a full photo gallery and review after the jump.

Be sure to follow all of our NECA Toy Galleries.

Friday The 13th 2009 – Ultimate Jason Voorhees 7″ Scale Figure by NECA

Pros

  • Great overall look to the figure
  • The hockey mask looks especially good
  • Nice assortment of weapons
  • Solid articulation
  • Excellent paint work
  • Parts swap out easily

Cons

  • The sculpted hair

Overall
Jason comes packaged in a collector friendly flapped window box. The packaging features poster art on the front, with a selection of official images on the back showcasing the different display options. The figure is packed on a plastic tray, with a few twist ties holding him in place. Included with the figure is head sculpt with removable hockey mask, a sack head portrait, an interchangeable right hand, a machete, an axe, a screwdriver, a fire poker, and a “hammer”.

In the film, Jason was presented as a hulking force of nature, with survival and hunting instincts that made him seem especially dangerous. The figure is one of the tallest Jason’s they’ve produced in the 7″ scale line, and it does a great job of representing his onscreen appearance. The figure definitely has a very unique look among the previous takes on Jason. Instead of the overalls of Part 2, or the collared shirt and pants of parts 3 through 8, Jason has a heavy jacket, with tattered pants and a soiled t-shirt. also unlike many previous versions, Jason is portrayed with stringy hair that drapes over his shoulders. The sculpt work is fantastic, with realistic texturing on the clothing and skin. The head sculpts look great in hand, with the unmasked portrait looking particularly gruesome, with great heavy skin pore work and a chilling expression. Joints are handled well, and don’t take away from the overall appearance.

NECA opted for single jointed elbows and knees here. While I do with he had those extra points of articulation, it keeps him in line with the previous Jason figures. About the only thing I’m not a fan of is the way the strands of hair are handled. They seem just too thick for my tastes and take away from the silhouette a bit. Definitely no deal breaker though. Especially when you look at how well the sack head works with this look. I honestly think I prefer that portrait for the figure. Combine those positives with the great weapons assortment, and there’s a lot to love here.

The paint work is really impressive here. The highly detailed sculpt is brought to life thanks to the dirt covered look that Jason has here. The black coat benefits some heavy brown, blue and gray washes that work great. The clothing looks heavily weathered and soiled. The paint on the hockey mask is probably as detailed as the alternate heads for the Dream Sequence Jason. From top to bottom the paint work is handled with precision.

With fans warming up to the reboot over the last decade, and a great attention to details, you have a figure that is hitting at just the right time. Sculpt, paint, and accessory selection are fantastic, and it makes a nice alternate look to the previous Jason figures. Check out some select photos below, and the full gallery after that.

    Some really nice shots Joe. If I pick this one up I'm also leaning in favor of using the sack head as they did make the hair too thick. I wonder if they tried making the strands thinner but QC wouldn't have held up.

    Overall I love the figure and the upgrades over the original release, such as the added articulation and casting the skin in sweaty, grimy flesh-colored plastic. Everything looks much better with the improved and more detailed paint work and the original sculpt from 2009 still holds up. No worries on the single-jointed arms and legs, either, because as Joe said it matches the previous NECA Jasons.

    And yeah, this figure looks amazing with the bag head. I was never a huge fan of the original bag head Jason, but I accepted it because...well, it's Jason. But this version's bag head looks SO much more intimidating and creepy so I actually ended up picking up two figures so I could display him both ways.

    That said...yeah, that hair. I don't mind how the strands look at all, honestly. It's how they attached them to the head that looks really terrible. On the original release the strands were actually attached to the straps of the hockey mask, but here they altered the head sculpt and half-assedly plugged the strands directly into the head. They had the right idea (that the hair should be attached to the head), but how they went about implementing it was really, really embarrassingly lazy, and it shows. I mean, it totally looks like complete garbage. But at least the straps from the hockey mask cover it up, so I guess it's not a HUGE deal.

    Also, I really want to bitch...I'm SO SICK of constantly getting NECA figures where one leg is longer than the other. I had to exchange this figure twice until I had ones where they could stand upright normally. I think NECA needs to get their factory to address this issue, as it happens all the time.

    As I suspected the blonde hair would be the weakest point of the figure. Aside from how the hair was attached to the mask original release, I think the hair and headsculpt was handled a lot better than this release. It’s a good thing the sac head sits better on this release as it’s most likely how I’ll be displaying mine when I pick it up someday.

    A crossbow and a bear trap also would’ve been nice to see, but overall I think NECA made a good update to the original.

    I had that issue with a few of my NECA figures and what I’ve found is that the leg isn’t actually longer, but it’s that its not completely inserted into the hip joint. Heat up the upper leg with a hairdryer, carefully pop the leg from the hip joint, reapply heat to the upper leg and then reinsert the affected leg. After that you should be fine.

    It stinks that it’s such a commonly occurring problem, but this method should at least save you the trouble of finding a replacement figure.

    You're absolutely right about that...the bag head used to almost look like it was hovering above Jason's body on the original figure. On the Ultimate it rests MUCH better on his shoulders.

    Interesting! That totally makes sense! Thanks a lot for the tip...I'll be sure to try it the next time I run into that issue.

    That does look like crap...terrible.

    Just curious...since I'm sure you have the original Reboot Jason...do you know if the head from that figure would fit onto this new one without making any significant mods? I was thinking about doing that personally when my Ultimate arrives, since the older version has the hair sculpted to the mask as you were saying, and I'm not a huge fan of it myself...

    I'm out right now, but yes I do have the original release so I'll check it when I get home. But I can tell you that the skin tone definitely won't match the new figure. The original release was painted with a very pale skin tone, where is the new figure is sculpted in flesh colored plastic with a much warmer skin tone. I don't see it looking right. But we'll see!

    I had the same problem with my Pennywise I just opened. I love Neca but it's so frustrating for the price you pay and you get a leg bigger then the other.

    Trivial Psychic- The peg hole is completely different on the original release. The neck peg on the original figure is twice as thick and, correspondingly, the neck hole in the head is twice as wide. It might be possible to mod the head to fit on the new figure, but like I said above, the skin doesn't even remotely match the new Ultimate figure.


    BTW, I'm selling my original NECA reboot Jason on ebay now that I have the Ultimate! It's complete and I accept best offers!

    Not a fan of this look for Jason, and didn't care much for the remake in general. However, the figure itself (and of course the pictures) look great. Definitely better with the sack head versus the hockey mask.

    Some interesting things said about some of their horror licenses on Neca's twitter. Nightmare on Elm Street is set to expire and its future is up in the air. I was kind of hoping for an FvJ Freddy with the demon head, but it looks like that's off the table.

    Also, there are hints that the Friday the 13th lawsuit may have an impact on future Jasons. They didn't have a problem with the stuff already in production, but seem uncertain of upcoming figures. I kind of get the impression that they are going to push forward carefully, but are keeping an eye out for any cease and desist orders. It does explain why they are releasing 3 Jasons (well, two Jasons and a Roy) in such short succession. Hopefully, we can get Part 8 before the you know what hits the fan.

    Lastly, someone asked if Neca was going to do an Ultimate Loomis and Laurie. They replied in a vague way about rights and how the figures don't fit the Ultimate format. I thought it was interesting because he didn't say "No" but dismissed the Ultimate format specifically. I could see Loomis and/or Laurie getting a regular release. I understand why they wouldn't want to reveal it now, just before the 2018 Laurie release. A lot of people who would pick it up might pass for a young Laurie.
