I was pretty much raised on F13 movies, my mom was and is a horror fanatic. I'm annoyed that there have never been any figure versions of the Parts 5 and 8 Jason, though there's been some pretty good custom work done. The only things I collect more obsessively than Jason stuff are Batman and G.I. Joe.

Yes
I was very confident that the sleeping bag scene would be there, TLB, and you did not disappoint. That might be one of my favorite movie scenes ever for sheer rewindability
e: The homage to the sleeping bag kill that they did in Jason X is also one of my favorites
I have always liked freddy better than jason sorry
holy shit cr0w
Up on the top left of my shelf is the only Freddy figure I've ever thought worth buying. Took me 6 years to track down at a decent price, since it was only available at Comic Con in '04. Everything else has either looked nothing like Englund as Freddy or just had horribly oversized clothing.

That is a badass collection, cr0w, and you should receive some kind of award for it
It would conveniently be shaped like Jason Voorhees
How could you not include when he broke the Sheriff in half in Part VI?!
Also, I agree with you about Part VIII. From the soundtrack to the inexplicable move to the city so they could showcase NYC at night, it's pretty much a perfect '80s movie. Plus it had a young Kelly Hu!
Dude I saw one of those at Spencer's a year or two back. I draw the line at quarter-scale stuff, I could never have a life-size statue or figure or anything because it would scare the living shit out of me when I get up in the middle of the night for a snack or something. I had a life-size poster of Data when I was a kid that never failed to give me a heart attack when I would wake up at like 3 a.m. despite having it for years.

Man, Sideshow seriously puts out some of the coolest shit.

reminds me
my older brother had a life-size cardboard stand-up cutout dealie of data, glaring straight ahead, pointing his phaser at the viewer
that thing has taken like five years off of my life oh god
the worst was that time where I hadn't seen it in months and it somehow ended up at the top of the stairs while I was at work and it was the middle of the night and augh
A friend of mine was living upstairs in his Mom's house, and they had a balcony-type thingy overlooking the living room at the top of the stairs.
Anyway, his Mom worked at a department store called McRae's...she was the display designer and such, and she had brought a mannequin home one day. Robin (my friend) had a long black robe he had used for some sort of costume, so his Mom decided to set the mannequin up sitting on the end of his bed wearing the robe. The mannequin is a featureless, plain white male mannequin. Robin has a black light in his room.
So Robin comes home from work, walks upstairs and into his room and sees a glowing, black-robed figure sitting on his bed looking at him. He then proceeds to run out of his room and jump over the landing into the living room, landing on the coffee table and running out of the house.
Despite the loss of the coffee table, his Mom thought it was the funniest thing she'd ever seen. Robin didn't agree.
Immediately after I posted my list, I went outside for a cigarette, and a beetle flew in and burrowed into my ear. It started chewing at my ear drum and wriggling around and I drowned it in peroxide and immediately went to the ER (luckily I work there, so I went right back) and they spent 40 minutes using every goddamned tool they had to finally get it out.
It was like two inches long and now my ear is bleeding and I gotta put ear drops in and oh god it was the most horrifying thing ever
