01 Jason Voorhees

Friday the 13th Jason Voorhees

 

Friday the 13th was first released in 1980 and has gone on to create one of the largest slasher/horror franchises. The movie has spawned some 12 other movies, and gone to television, documentaries, comics and has become a part of the horror movie mindset. 

 Jason Vorhees is the star and villain of Friday the 13th. He is usually killed at the end of the movies by a strong female character, but is resurrected, often by electricity, at the start of the next movie.

 Jason is the first Funko pop figure in the Movies line.

Um what? Why is this on the back of the box? Am i missing some lore from the movie? I think "get him, before he gets you" or "they'll thrill you!" might have made more sense...

Jason looks adorable. He may be cute as a bloody button but remember he is a supernatural killer hell bent of revenge.

 Jason wears suitably tattered clothing. You could say he was dressed to kill, but that would be a lame joke.

Jason wears his trademark hockey mask.

The back of his head is nice and lumpy, he did get killed a lot and his head reflects this.

He holds his signature weapon, the machete, which is metallic coloured and bloody.

Don't look too hard or he will give you his crazy eye stare!

For size comparison we have got some likely suspects in a line up. From left to right; Michael Myers (Halloween), Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) and Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), all from the Funko pop Movies line.

How embarrassing! I'm sure it happens more than you would imagine.
