OneSixthFigures
An online community to discuss and share news about sixth-scale figures, with an emphasis on either custom or commercial articulated figures.
I have been wanting to add a Jason figure to my 1/6th scale horror figure line up for quite some time, and the figure by Sideshow
Collectibles from Friday the 13th Part 3 sporting the iconic hockey mask was the one representation that caught my attention the most.
Sideshow offered two versions, Collector Edition and Exclusive Edition, the difference being, the exclusive edition ships with an extra
weapon, a Speargun. While the collector edition is still available, the exclusive edition has long sold out.
Recently i was lucky enough to spot the figure i was searching for on ebay, in used by like new condition for a reasonable price. After
a 3 week wait (Jason spent 3 weeks waiting to depart Australia) Jason touched down here in the UK ^_^
I am super happy with the figure. The box, the figure, look like new, zero dust.
The figure, Jason Voorhees looks excellent!
My only nitpick would be his white vest under green shirt. By white, i mean it is bright white,
which is not something i figured Jason was into, keeping his whites super white.
Maybe Camp Crystal Lake laundry facilities. Maybe Jason stole the vest from some campers
..is in the house
I shot these two photo's after checking the piece out, to make sure all was well.
Fact is, Taskmaster was returned to the box until i find the ideal display location.
In short, an excellent figure!
Given the materials used, Taskmaster appears to be very posable. I think i prefer Taskmaster with the hood in the down position.

My kitbash of Asami Yamazaki from the movie Audition (1999)
This project represented my first attempt at a 1/6th scale figure kitbash. It came about due to the Covid 19 pandemic resulting in the lockdown(s) which resulted in much time on my hands to fill. It helped with my mental health. As a result of the kiybash i discovered OneSixthFigures.com

But the rest is beautiful as a Dude can be. A real role model.
Stryker2011 wrote:He did turn out really good. Sideshow has produced a couple really decent figures in the last couple of years (as long as you get First Batch — subsequent batches tend to lower in quality).

This figure abides!

As far as Sideshow and the later batches. Here’s only what I know: pretty much all of their earlier bodies were junk — wretched, floppy, loose-jointed junk. Lately, I think starting around the time they did Snake Plissken they started using better quality bodies. Unfortunately, starting around the time they made Mythos Obi-Wan, they went to making their figures “in waves” the first batch has better paint, weathering, bodies, etc., where as subsequent batches have lower quality in everything. Not sure why this is happening; the cynic in me, and my overall distaste for Sideshow as a business, may cloud my view, but I suspect it’s because first batch figures tend to get highly praised (I know Mythos Obi-Wan did, and I have that figure and absolutely love it), thus working as a promotional tool to prompt the production of more figures — sadly, however, most people have reported problems with those later batches. So far (knock on wood), I’ve only received First Batch runs (aside from General Grevious, which was a second run figure and had been slightly improved since so many complaints came in, along with cancellations). Nothing would surprise me with Sideshow, however, since they have some pretty unscrupulous tactics as a company.
