NECA TOYS VGA Jason (Theme Music Packaging)







I just recently got both the new NES Jason as well as the Ultimate Jason figures by NECA. Both of these are awesome, but today's review will focus on the VGA Jason. A similar version of this figure came out in 2013 as a SDCC exclusive figure. Many people missed out on this figure at that time, and it has since become a highly coveted action figure. I have wanted one for years, but refused to feed the scalpers on eBay and pay their outrageous prices. As usual, patience and perseverance pays off.

NECA knew that many collectors really wanted a crack at this figure. They didn't just merely re-release the same figure. They made some awesome improvements. The original version came with the iconic mask and a hatchet and had glow in the dark features.

The new version was kicked up a notch by the NECA crew. It comes with the same classic video game cover packaging, but has one awesome new feature. When you open the flap of the box it plays the 8-bit video game tune from the game. The sensor for the music is light sensitive. I love this idea, and I hope they continue to do this with other figures in the future. I am sucker for nostalgia.









The theme music box isn't the only new addition to this figure though. It gets even better! This figure has a tad different paint scheme (no glow in the dark). It comes with a removable hockey mask along with Jason's classic weapons of choice, his trusty machete and hatchet. Who doesn't like a good ol' fashioned melee weapon to the head, right?!? Another welcomed addition to this figure is the floating mother's head from the the game complete with a clear stand.







I have been a huge fan of NECA's VGA line. It's one of the most fun and unique lines that they have. I have wanted this figure for such a long time. I give major props to NECA for not only giving fans another crack at getting this figure, but for making some sweet changes to it as well. I have been a huge fan of NECA's VGA line.
