NECA Reveals First Look at Savini Jason Action Figure Based on Friday the 13th: The Game

NECA has just dropped some thrilling news for horror collectors: a Savini Jason Voorhees figure from Friday the 13th: The Game will be unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con booth #3545. This exclusive 7.6-inch “Ultimate Figure” is the first physical toy based on the 2017 video game, marking a major milestone for both NECA and fans of the franchise.

From Digital Rarity to Action Figure Rarity

The Savini Jason skin was originally forged by legendary special effects maestro Tom Savini for Friday the 13th: The Game’s Kickstarter campaign. As a reward reserved solely for backers, this skin remained a rare digital artefact—often commanding hefty resale prices. Now, thanks to NECA’s licensing deals with Horror Inc. and Jason Universe, fans finally get a tangible version of this coveted design.

NECA’s Legacy of Ultimate Horror Figures

This figure isn’t NECA’s first dance with Jason. Their long-running Ultimate 7″ line features meticulously detailed figures of classic movie slasher icons. From retro VHS-era incarnations to crossover appearances like Ultimate Freddy vs. Jason, NECA has always delivered horror nostalgia with precision. Earlier this year, they also released the eponymous Friday the 13th NES-inspired Jason and embraced pop culture with the Steve Zissou-style Jason. That breadth of product makes the Savini Jason a distinctly unique and eagerly anticipated addition—one that finally bridges digital lore and physical collecting.

These aren’t simply action figures—they’re finely sculpted statues with multiple heads, interchangeable hands, and weapons, all packaged in window boxes sporting vintage-inspired artwork. NECA has sold thousands of these to conventions and specialty shops, and the Savini edition should follow suit.

What to Expect at SDCC 2025

Booth #3545 Highlights

• First public showing of the Savini Jason Ultimate Figure
• Live demos of figure articulation, textures, and accessories
• NECA representatives on hand to clarify licensing questions (works with Horror Inc. and Jason Universe)

SDCC attendees will get a firsthand look at the figure’s lifelike sculpt, poised to rival the intense, no-nonsense aesthetic fans loved in the game. Expect classic Jason gear—machetes, axes, maybe even a swapped head or two—but in SAVINI BLACK.

The Game Behind the Figure

Friday the 13th: The Game launched in May 2017, with a full physical release arriving in October for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (and later on Nintendo Switch in August 2019). It featured an asymmetrical multiplayer setup: seven players as Camp Crystal Lake counsellors trying to escape one omnipresent Jason. The Savini skin was the ultimate cosmetic flex—a limited edition on a digital battlefield.

Why This Release Matters

For years, NECA collectors have waited for a bridge between the virtual and the tangible. Other horror licenses have dipped into game-inspired figures, but none have captured this particular synergy. Not only does the Savini Jason celebrate a one-of-a-kind design, but it also confirms NECA’s continued licence with Friday the 13th makers, long after long-time licences expired or faltered.

How to Get Yours

While NECA hasn’t announced pre-orders yet, SDCC attendees will likely have early access. Given NECA’s past demand surges—like Sell-Out alerts for their Xenomorph and Real Ghostbusters figures—it’s wise for fans to watch for announcements on NECA’s site and social channels.
