Mezco Toys Jason Voorhees Action Figure Review

Good morning!

Well I finally received the Jason Voorhees figure that I discussed here a couple weeks ago.

Jason figure

This figure is pretty cool, although it’s obvious the manufacturer expects Jason to live in his box forever and not be removed. I know I’ve committed collector murder by taking him out of his package and thereby destroying any future “investor” value, and it would be just my luck to look at the internet next week and find out that this particular doll had some variant quality that makes him worth a bazillion dollars…

Dark Knight Shooting

True Horror.

I don’t have much to say about this. I’m just shocked and devastated. The thing that keeps running through my head are the kids. I’m not normally an “Oh my God! Think of the children!” sort of guy. But a few months ago we went to catch The Avengers at a matinee. There was a little boy, around 2 1/2 or 3 years old in a Captain America t-shirt who was at his first “big boy” movie with his dad.
