Ahhhh, Mom. Remember how she used to make you a sandwich and cut off the crusts? Yep! Because Crusts were gross.
Remember how she used to make it all better when you skinned your knee? Sure you do, nothing made it feel better like mom did.
Remember when you drowned at camp because the counselors were off having sex and she went nuts and started offing everyone at your camp?? No? Well then your not Jason Voorhees are you? Pamela Voorhees started off the franchise in Friday the 13th avenging her sons "death", now if this were today she would have simply sued the camp and made off with a few million dollars, but Mrs. Voorhees decided the best course of action was to chop, slash, and stab anyone having to do with Camp Crystal Lake. Sideshow has done another first and brought us Pamela Voorhees (Played by Betsy Palmer) in a 12" figure.

Packaging 9/10
As I said last time, Sideshow has some of the best packaging in the business, it is one of the few toys whose packaging I save.
Accessories 10/10
Right out of the film, Bow and Arrow, an Ax, A Machete and a Hunting Knife, everything you'll need to send those horny Camp Counselors to the Cabin in the Sky (On a side note where was this camp withal these horny teens? When I went all we did was go on nature hikes and made wallets. WHAT A RIP OFF!!! On the plus side I wasn't gutted like a trout, so I guess I chalk this one in the win column)
Sculpt 4/10
Ok, now up until now my reviews of Sideshow have all been positive, and I still like this figure, but…. The face is, ugly, and its not supposed to be. Now Betsy Palmer isn't a Playboy model, but she should have that psycho look crossed with a woman who just baked you a batch of cookies. This figure looks like its an hour after Taco Bell and she is releasing some "demons". I know they were going for maniacal scream and got a look like someone who forgot the plunger in the toilet before they sat down. This is too bad because the rest of the figure is pure art. The Sweater, the belt with knife sheathe, the boots with a bit of mud on them, if they had done a better job on the head this probably would have been Sideshows best figure to date.

Overall 5/10
Getting this figure was like opening a Christmas present you really wanted but turned out not as cool as it could have been. If you're like me a die hard Friday the 13th Collector you would buy this just to complete the Sideshow family, but if you're just a collector looking for something different from the FT13th franchise, go with the Part 2 Jason I reviewed last month on the upcoming Part 6 Jason due out (and at my home) soon.
