Toy Fair: NECA Announces ‘Friday’ Replicas
It’s that time of the year again, where counselors run in horror from Camp Crystal Lake. NECA resurrects everyone’s favorite momma’s boy just in time for his all new feature film. NECA is pleased to offer three new items based off the all new Friday the 13th, which will all be on display at this weekend’s Toy Fair in New York.
Jason is back and it means sheer terror for the good people of Camp Crystal Lake. Jason stands 19″ high, and features two interchangeable heads; his classic “sack” look, and the much more traditional hockey mask. Jason is fully articulated, and comes with his machete. The machete can be slid in and out of a convenient sheath on his belt.
Friday the 13th (2009) Jason Mask in Shadow Box. Recapture the essence of evil- A true collector’s item, Jason Voorhees’ mask is cast directly from a film used prop. This resin reproduction of Jason’s iconic mask comes mounted in a wooden shadowbox, ready to hang and display on your wall or shelf
Friday the 13th Machete Replica: Hold evil in the palm of your hand- Jason Voorhees’ machete is cast directly from a film used prop. This metal and wood reproduction of Jason’s iconic weapon is 3-feet in length and has the real weight and feel of an actual machete. The blade edge is dull – this item is not a toy. Prop replica for display use only.
The feature directorial debut of Emily Robinson (Eighth Grade) is titled Ugly Cry, and Deadline reports that Obscured Releasing has picked up the movie for U.S. distribution.
Ugly Cry is expected to be released in theaters this Fall and later on Digital.
Also starring Emily Robinson, the horror-comedy follows a young Hollywood actress’ dark descent into body dysmorphia as she struggles to fulfill impossible beauty standards.
Ryan Simpkins, Aaron Dominguez and Robin Tunney also star.
Emily Robinson wrote the film in addition to directing and starring.
“Ugly Cry contemplates the horror of having a body in the age of the internet. What’s scarier, cringier, and funnier than modern society?” said Robinson. “Our collaboration with Obscured began at SXSW, which made it clear no one understands our genre-bendy feature better than they do. We’re thrilled to be partnering with them for our North American release.”
“Emily Robinson’s feature debut represents the discovery of a true talent in filmmaking,” said Obscured Releasing. “Her writing is so acute, her performance as Delaney finds all the nuances within the character, and her masterful direction of an incredible cast reminds us of the early thrillers of Hitchcock with an acerbic modern lens.”
