The cutoff date is ....Friday The 13th.....to cool!!!!
Love the concept.. Hate the final product.
Love the base.
Congrats to those that love it and bought it.
Just curious JAWS what do you hate about the final product? After watching your last video on the recent Jason PF you seem to know a lot about the accuracy when it comes to Jason, so would like to know your thoughts.
I’m also awaiting a response.
I'm going to assume that he has a similar opinion to me. Mask shape is incorrect, eye hole size is too small, chevrons are in the wrong place, the holes, while misaligned on the screen used mask are not this extreme and the pants are too baggy. Also, no sign of hair.
Perfect representation for Friday the 13th fans, this will be the only statue you will need in your collection.
Ted White was nowhere near as Bulky for part 4 compared to Richard Brooker for part 3 so proportion this is actually quite good.
Yeah I can see that you are no novice when it comes to Jason. It's just that JAWS went into so much detail about Jason in a video he did of the new PF after it was released and also you never mentioned that you hate this piece. Thus, I am interested to know why he hates it.I’m also quite clued up when it comes to Mr Voorhees.

Hopefully he comes back and visit s this thread again soon, to give his imput as he really knows his stuff when it comes to Jason.
That's all true but I am sure there are more things off about it than just the mask and pants, hair etc for JAWs to say he HATES this product. One I will add is that Jason doesn't look bulky enough.
Top job there mate, a hidden talent for sure!I mean bloody hell I’ve only just started to paint and I feel like I’ve got the mask more accurate. Different medium sure but it’s being able to look at and replicate details. This is being approved by Steve Want for crying out loud.View attachment 393754
Basically I agree with the following response by Ash Housewares
lol I am by no means a Jason expert.. But my best friend is and he has been collecting Jason items forever so I am sure his expertise has rubbed off on me a bit but I am not a super fan by any means.
However when I saw the final shots in my email I quickly emailed my friend and said.. "Hey it looks like you just saved 2800.00" He looked at the photos and agreed.
For me personally it is just is lacking the menace that is Jason Voorhees. Along with the comments that Ash Housewares points out it just is missing that certain something...
I really dislike the pose.. I know Jason is seen as a stiff as a board character but he is not..Especially in part 4 he is fairly animated. I am not saying he has to have flailing arms but he looks just too wooden..
The ECC Jason is also just too small. His smaller stature reduces his fear factor.
His mask drill holes are too small the shape is off, the neck is too thin his hand are too small just overall it is off IMO. I personally don't need an exact Jason (the last PF proved that) but this lacks Jason's Essence.. Again I don't need perfection.. The new predator maquette is far from screen accurate but I feel the personality and essence is there.. Not so much with this piece.
Of course this is all just my opinion.. If you love it and can afford it then congrats. Its not the piece for me.. Which is too bad because I love everything else about it accept the main statue.
Still don't know if I would buy it.. That is some major $$ but I know there was a good chance my fiend would have. But as is I will just have to enjoy the videos and pics when people get this.
Here are some comparison shots.. I can see that they tried but for as hard as it looked like they tried but for me it just misses too many times.
2nd comparison photo of Jason is actually reversed so its not really fair to compare but again its the essence it lacks to me.

3 grand is about what I expected for this.
There is the argument that the quality of pieces in this hobby are only improving but generally the prices are cetrainly rising faster than the quality.
I personally would find it very hard to justify £3,000 on any statue of only 1/3 so any issues, flaws or unintentional inaccuracies would bother me massively.

Yeah but I didn't think what Ash said was enough to actually hate the product since you could possibly get a custom mask.
Going by that video you did on the PF seemed like you knew quite a bit of stuff, so i guess you are right his expertise must of rubbed off on you.
He must of been disappointed to a certain degree though, was he looking forward to this product, or did he think it sucked since the proto looked pretty bad?
I agree there is nothing menacing looking about this piece, just looks like a person standing there wearing a Hockey mask, nothing frightening about it at all.
That's true in part 4 he is and I hate the pose on this to, not sure where the stiff as board general consensus comes from, maybe most people think Jason is more like Myers.
Do you mean he looks too short?
U mean if they did a better job on it?
Still shows how off the nose of the mask is, it's rather flat on the statue, whereas it protrudes more on real mask.
Great comparison shots, always thought there was something off with the sculpt in that it looked a bit too cartoony, I see it's because his eyes are a little too big.
I collected a bit of Jason here and there. I enjoy most of the movies. I would say about 20 - 30 yrs ago I was more of a fan... Still enough of one to see all the issues with this.
He hated the proto but loved the idea and was dreading the fact that the announced they were going to make improvements because if done well he would have been forced to get it.. He is relieved that it turned out the way it did
Yeah.. I don't know... One of my all time fav Jason pieces is the Neca 18 inch part 7 Jason.. I wish someone would do a high quality statue of that.. It was a good sculpt and a great pose.. Neca made a smaller statue version of that piece but it was nowhere near as good as the 18 inch figure.. Mask was not perfect but everything else about the sculpt was.
Just overall small... Not so much height... just mass... Not nearly intimidating enough.
Yeah... For this price it needed to be the ultimate Jason.. Not even close.
Cartoony.. That is a good way to put it.. Too much of a smile on his face also. I know the original Savini sculpt had a bit of that grin on the one side but they overdid it on this piece.
So he really didn't want to spend the money?
Yeah I owned the 18 inch NECA part 7 one and pretty much agree with everything you said, except I don't think the clothes should have been that green. A statue of a part 7 Jason would be probably the best Jason ever, Kane Hodder brought personality to Jason and how Jason looked in that movie with all the bones showing etc would make a fantastic looking mixed media piece. For some reason though statue companies don't want to make Jason's after part 4.
Yeah that's where I kind of disagreed with Ash, when I said he isn't bulky enough, despite that Brooker was more bulkier as he had large traps. Ted White was still a big man in part 4 and with exception of the stomach, Jason's build on this statue looks more like that of Myers. He should have broader shoulders and bigger arms IMO.
.[/QUOTE]Agreed, despite the deformed face, he actually appears friendly
