A brand new Jason Voorhees slashed the screen last year in the short film Sweet Revenge from the Jason Universe, and that version of Jason now gets a NECA action figure.
Ahead of San Diego Comic-Con kicking off this week, NECA’s Jason Universe – Ultimate Sweet Revenge Jason 7″ Scale Action Figure is now available for pre-order in the NECA shop.
NECA previews, “An icon of horror returns to Camp Crystal Lake for revenge…and this time, it’s sweet! As seen in Sweet Revenge, the official Jason Universe short film directed by Mike P. Nelson, NECA presents a new Ultimate Jason action figure based on the character’s first live-action appearance in over 16 years.”
“Standing in 7-inch scale and fully articulated, this highly detailed figure captures Jason’s terrifying look and comes loaded with accessories: his iconic machete, kitchen knife, apple corer, boat motor with his victims’ flesh, and interchangeable hand.”
The expected shipping time frame for pre-orders is Quarter 2, 2027.

What is Sweet Revenge, you ask? It was described as a “vignette” by the team but it’s really a full-on short film that served to introduce the new Jason Universe branding as well as the fresh new redesign for the Jason Voorhees character. It was also part of a larger partnership between Jason Universe and Angry Orchard Hard Cider, with special Jason Universe-branded Angry Orchard beverages and 12-packs being released in stores last Halloween season.

We wrote in our review of Sweet Revenge last summer, “Sweet Revenge is a promising step in the right direction that should restore any lost faith in the franchise. Beyond tiding viewers over until Peacock’s Crystal Lake prequel series, the vignette begs for expansion.”
Our review continued, “Presented as something of an urban legend, with the area’s troubled past alluded to without any specifics, Jason is played with urgency by stunt coordinator Schuyler White. This version of Jason harkens back to his early appearances as a lean killing machine rather than a hulking, undead monster.”
