The infant Jason Voorhees from Crystal Lake is now a life-size doll. NECA announced the 1:1 scale prop replica on Friday the 13th, and the preorder runs at $129.99 until December 1, when the price climbs to $149.99. It is due to ship in the third quarter of 2027.
The replica has five points of articulation, and NECA describes the skin as realistic and the eyes as lifelike. It comes in a window box, and the company notes that the item pictured is a prototype, so the finished piece may differ. Preorders are open at NECA’s own store.
NECA’s Jason Replicas Have Been Hockey Masks
The Friday the 13th prop replica line has been hockey masks for years, from the Part 3 mask to the Freddy vs. Jason version to the one that ships in a wooden box. Those are objects you hang on a wall. This is an object that sits in a chair and looks back at the room, and that is a harder sell at any price.
The Series Put Jason on Screen as an Infant in October
Crystal Lake arrived on Peacock on October 15 with all eight episodes at once, and in its first 11 days it pulled 1.3 billion minutes of viewing. Brad Caleb Kane ran the series and Linda Cardellini played Pamela Voorhees, and the story reaches back far enough into Jason’s life to show him as a baby, which is where this replica comes from.
The new Friday the 13th film from Steve Miner is also set for 2027, so Jason is on course to turn up in theaters and in a window box in the same year.
