Cinema of Fear Series 1

I usually shop at a certain online store that goes by the name http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/ there I have plenty of stuff on pre-order waiting to be paid in full upon release. Well just recently the new Cinema of Fear figures were just released from Mezco. So anyways along with that another hobby being horror and Jason Voorhees. So with that being said when I seen Mezco was going to release a Jason from Friday the 13th pt. 4, I already had mine on order... another figure to add to the Jason shrine.

Long story short it finally came in. I have to say its a pretty cool figure. I mean the sculpt is pretty well done, my only complaint being the hands. It looks like they didnt really know how to incorporate the joints into the mold very well and the fingers are a little rough looking but im very nit picky when it comes to the sculpt on hands, feet, and head on action figures. Cool thing is it comes with plenty of little gimmicks to put some life into this awsome figure.

First gimmick being the most notable, a variant head that has the machete slash in the side of the face. Also note the accurate gash from the previous film when Jason took an axe to the top of the head is also there. With a aresenal of weapons, you have your choice of the legendary machete, a cleaver, double sided axe, and the hack saw. Also you get the cool head stone of his mothers grave. Last but not least you get a variant hand in which during the film his hand was split down the middle trying to catch a machete mid swing from his rival Tommy Jarvis. As I said folks this figure is pretty much nerd proof accurate right from the film.

Something else I was impressed by was that for a Mezco figure its pretty well articulated, all major joints move. You have wrist, elbow, neck, knee, shoulder and thigh joints. Again not to shabby considering the state of other action figure companies NECA and McFarlane who usually produce more statuish figures with little to no articulation. I recently noticed that Series 2 will be releasing next year which will feature a Jason from part 6 in the lineup which I'll definitly be picking up.
