Jason Voorhees
Sideshow Jason Voorhees Friday the 13th part 2 review
By Don of the Dead

Ahhhhh 2005 is here a new year, a new clean slate, Resolution time? You Bet. Here are mine:


#1 Give up pop, I'm going on 3 weeks without a Coke, I usually drink around 6 a day, I'm damn near high rooftop with sniper rifle time.

#2 Hunt down annoying Subway pitchman Jared Fogle, tie him to a chair in an abandoned warehouse and force feed him Hardees Monster Burgers until he's back to his original weight. The rest of this plan involves a potato peeler and road salt.

#3 Buy more Sideshow Modern Horror figures.

Farmer Johnson hires a permenent solution to those cow tipping punks on Friday nights.
OK, #1 I'm working on, #2 is a nice dream, but #3 I'm going balls to the walls on. I just received Sideshows Jason Voorhees as he appeared in Friday the 13th Part 2. Did you know the hockey mask didn't appear till part 3? In part 2 he wore overalls and had to cover his ugly mug with a potato sack. I applaud Sideshow for making a figure of Jason is this form, its always was a risk to produce a toy only known by a small fan base, but it has paid off, before buying this (which I had not planned on) I got nothing but rave reviews from my fellow horror buffs.


Packaging: 5/5
I love Sideshows boxes, normally packaging is just trash to me, buy Sideshow does one hell of a job on packaging, its almost as good as their toys. A open the front flap to reveal the window showing the figure in all its glory, great for display if you keep your figures boxed (Do you keep your everything else packaged too? "Sorry Grandma, I'd love to give you your heart medication, but opening it decreases its value." On the plus side, soon you can keep Grandma Mint In Box. Sickos)

Sideshow can be hit and miss on sculpts, some figures are works of art, some look like a turd in need of flushing. Luckily this one is the former.

"The Clothing Make the Man"
Jason is wearing his "Hee-Haw" finest, bib overalls and checkered shirt, and the potato sack over his head finishes off this backwoods fashion statement, Jason looks like he's been living in a shack for years with his mothers decapitated head. The only drawback is getting the Potato sack to fit without looking like "bunny ears" however after a few minor folds, its all thumbs up Sideshow!
Sloth love Chunk! And as soon as Sloth save enough money, we're going to mass-eh-chew-sits to make it legal!

"If my dog had a face like that, I'd shave its ass and make him walk backwards"
Jason is ugly. No doubt about that. If he was handsome he'd be dating girls instead of shoving sharp objects through them. But sadly Jason was born with a "face like a can of smashed a$$holes" to quote my father. And Sideshow sculptor Brian Dooley has captured it, real hair, missing teeth, deformed face; you can almost HEAR "Dueling Banjos" when you see him maskless.ok that's enough, put the sack back on, you're scaring the kids.

Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize
When you're a killing machine, ya needs tools! Jason comes with two instruments of death, the pitchfork and the pickax, great for dispatching those horny teenagers in the cabin, or those horny teenagers in the car, or those horny teenagers skinny dipping, or the horny teenagers walking in the woods.....

OVERALL
Lets face it, unless you're a die-hard horror fan, this probably isn't a figure for you, but for people like me this is toy gold. Sideshow can make as many incarnations of Jason as they want, and people like me will snatch them up (OK, maybe not if them make Beach time fun Jason or Muffin Baker Jason) Once again Sideshow, great job!
