You can't be Alive!!!

I was a little under the weather this weekend so some how at 3 in the morning I found the energy to start photographing some of my figures. Anyways I ended up pulling out all my Sideshow collectibles Jason Voorhees figures. There all done in the 1:6 scale and for those that dont know 1:6th scale is your basic 12 inch figure, if that still doesnt give you an idea...basically barbie doll size.

Anyone who collects figures or toys of any sort Im sure knows who sideshow collectible is. They make some of the best figures and statues around. They basically get the rights/liscenses from the best sci-fi and horror movies and end up doing the characters into statues, or figures of varying size and articulation so you can create your own universe at home. Yeah I know its geeky but theres a market out there for it. Anyways so over the past few years Ive picked up all the 1:6th Jason Voorhees figures from the Friday the 13th line. They have the mother from pt. 1 and then it goes thru pt. 4 they skip pt. 5 (technically its not Jason), then so on up to Freddy vs Jason. They also for some reason didnt do Uber Jason from the horrible Jason X (in space). I didnt bother to pick up the mother from pt.1 because...well who cares about her. This is the story of Jason not his mother.

When you get a sideshow figure you get a full detailed piece of artwork in a sense. I mean various weapons, clothing and whatever other accesories were seen in the movie. As for the Jason figures of course the most iconic piece is when you get the figure and you see that awsome hockey mask and machete. From the above picture you can see details right down to the pillow sack Jason from pt. 2. The sack comes off to show a rugged, deformed inbred hillbilly...totally awsome. Each figure is sculpted to be movie accurate, right down to the gashes and stabwounds. If Jason took damage in the movie you can bet, they added that detail to the figure. As I said from slices, to various bones protruding thru the skin, to gunshots, to scrapes or cuts on his mask its there in all its glory.


So above is a group shot I took with all the hockey masks again excluding pt. 5 and Uber mecha Jason from Jason X. If you wanna check out the site for yourself sideshow carries all kinds of stuff relating to collectibles based on the movie industry. Nothing but high quality merchandise.
