NECA Was Planning an “Epic” 40th Anniversary ‘Friday the 13th’ Set That Won’t See the Light of Day

Published

NECA has released multiple different Friday the 13th/Jason Voorhees action figures over the years, but the sad reality is that the franchise’s messy legal issues are going to prevent them from making and releasing so many others they had been planning. That includes a figure of Uber Jason from Jason X and even a massive 40th anniversary box set.

The company provided some details on the dead-in-the-water set on Twitter last night, suggesting they were going all out to celebrate the franchise’s 40th in 2020…

The rights battle has suspended NECA’s Friday the 13th license for the foreseeable future, so don’t expect any new Friday the 13th collectibles from them any time soon.

Matter of fact, don’t expect any new collectibles from *anyone* any time soon. Sigh.
