NECA Shows Off Final In-Packaging Images of Their ‘New Blood’ Jason Voorhees Action Figure

Published

on

NECA had surprised us last summer by unleashing our first look at a brand new Jason Voorhees action figure, coming along at a time when the entire Friday the 13th franchise is pretty much on hold due to an ongoing legal battle. But NECA is making it happen regardless, with the upcoming figure based on Kane Hodder’s portrayal of Jason in Part 7: The New Blood!

The figure includes two heads – masked and unmasked – as well as a slew of weapons including an ax, knife, machete, scythe and even the infamous weed whacker.

The New Blood is of course notable for being Kane Hodder’s first appearance as Jason, with the horror icon officially becoming an undead, almost zombie-like monster.

Check out brand new in-packaging images below, shown off by NECA over on Twitter today in celebration of the 33rd anniversary of Friday the 13th: The New Blood!

NECA Leatherface

It’s a big year for Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, as the 1970s horror classic celebrates its 50th anniversary. In addition to a new map in Gun Interactive’s video game, which is launching on March 28, we also know that a 50th anniversary 4K set is on the way.

Additionally, NECA has previewed two brand new Leatherface toys that will be releasing this year, both of them based on the horror classic that started the franchise back in 1974.

Part of the Toony Terrors line, they’re based on two different Leatherface outfits.

The company previews, “Bring the fun of Saturday morning cartoons to your horror collection with the adorable little creeps of Toony Terrors, NECA’s line of stylized horror icons!

“We are thrilled to kick off the 50th anniversary celebration of the 1974 film Texas Chainsaw Massacre with two new Leatherface 6-inch scale Toony action figures. Get a fresh take on our classic Leatherface figure with this version featuring new bloody deco and updated chainsaw deco. Also available is an all-new, fan requested version of Leatherface in his “Pretty Woman” look, complete with chainsaw and iconic armadillo display base.”

Both figures come in commemorative 50th anniversary blister card packaging with cut-out cardbacks featuring original art by NECA painter Geoff Trapp.

The 50th anniversary toys are set to begin shipping in June 2024.
