Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
NECA
Did I need another figure of this blatant “Halloween” rip-off? Just look at the bones!!!
The gore and fun kills kept the franchise going, and made for some interesting Jason Voorhies variations. I was ready to call it quits with the video game version and Part 2 “sack-head.” And the Part V version satiated my need for the hockey mask AND gore, with worm face and split hand features. But this…this pushes the gross-out meter to eleven!
I don’t remember much of Part VII, other than this beat up looking Jason chained to the bottom of the lake. Real metal chains on actions figures…I’m a sucker for them! And being fish food for a while has left him deteriorated and slimy looking. The exposed bones look so, so good!
He has two interchangeable heads. One that comes with a full, removable hockey mask to reveal his grotesque monster face. The sculpt shines through the eyeholes and the broken bottom portion of the mask.
The other head is a screaming monster face with a port in the back to support a mask that has been split in two. It’s a neat effect, and the plastic straps are rubbery, yet not too rigid to support how much you want to reveal of Mommy’s special lil guy.
He also comes with a large amount of assorted cutlery. Bloody ax and machete are nothing new, so how about a bloody rail spike to the noggin? The offwithyourhead overhead circular saw is neat, but I foresee this breaking with minimal effort in the future. I’m gonna stick with the good old hand sickle. Or maybe the kaiser sling blade...mmm hmmm....
Unlike Michael Myers, Jason has delivered the goods in time for this Halloween season yet again. The next “Halloween” set (with Dr. Loomis) will probably get here in time for Valentine’s Day. Which I guess February is a scary movie dumping ground…
Take a look back at more Jason Voorhies variants:
