NECA revealed a life-size baby Jason Voorhees replica from Peacock’s “Crystal Lake” on Friday the 13th. It costs $129.99 before the price jumps on Dec. 1, and it ships in 2027.
Jason Voorhees has been a hockey-masked slasher, a zombie and a space killer. Now he is a baby you can hold.
NECA has revealed a 1:1 scale replica of baby Jason from Peacock’s “Crystal Lake,” Bloody Disgusting reports. The company announced the doll on Friday, Nov. 13, which fans will note is Friday the 13th.
It is available to preorder now.
How much is the baby Jason doll?
The baby Jason replica costs $129.99 on NECA’s website for now. On Dec. 1, the price goes up to $149.99, according to Bloody Disgusting.
NECA says supplies are limited.
The doll is expected to ship in the third quarter of 2027, so buyers will be waiting a while.
What does the baby Jason replica look like?
The doll is life-size. It is based on how baby Jason looks on screen in “Crystal Lake.”
NECA says it has five points of articulation, realistic skin and lifelike eyes, iHorror reports. The company’s description jokes that the baby has a face only his mother could love.
NECA’s photos show the bald doll in a cream outfit with a navy-trimmed collar. The doll comes in collector-style window box packaging that nods to Jason’s origins in the series, ComicBasics reports.
NECA notes the photos show a prototype, so the final product could look a little different.
That is common for preorders this far out. Collectible makers often tweak paint, hair and packaging between the first reveal and the version that ships.
What is “Crystal Lake”?
“Crystal Lake” is a “Friday the 13th” prequel series from A24 and Peacock. It goes back far enough in Jason’s life to show him as an infant, which is where this doll comes from.
The series premiered on Peacock on Oct. 15, with all eight episodes at once, iHorror reports. In its first 11 days, it racked up 1.3 billion minutes of viewing.
Brad Caleb Kane, who worked on “IT: Welcome to Derry,” is the showrunner. Linda Cardellini plays Pamela Voorhees, Jason’s mother. Kane already has ideas for a second season, Bloody Disgusting reports.
How are horror fans reacting to baby Jason?
Reactions have been mixed.
Dread Central called it a monstrosity and said it is a pass, even though the writer usually loves NECA. Other fans have found the creepy-cute idea funny, especially for a franchise that has never been afraid to get weird.
ComicBasics pointed out that the price stands out. NECA’s other recent Jason items cost much less, like a 7-inch “Part 8” Jason figure that is up for preorder at $29.99.
Who is NECA?
NECA, short for National Entertainment Collectibles Association, is a New Jersey toy and collectibles company. It is known for detailed horror and pop culture figures, including many versions of Jason, Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers.
The company also makes prop replicas, which are made to look like items from movies and TV shows. The baby Jason doll falls into that group, rather than a kids’ toy.
Is more “Friday the 13th” on the way?
Yes. Beyond “Crystal Lake,” Jason is headed back to theaters with a new “Friday the 13th” film, ComicBasics reports.
That makes baby Jason part of a bigger moment for the franchise, which started with the original “Friday the 13th” in 1980.
In that first film, Jason was not the killer at all. His mother, Pamela, was. Jason did not pick up his famous hockey mask until “Friday the 13th Part III” in 1982. A prequel that spends time with Pamela and young Jason fills in the part of the story fans have only heard about.
Should you preorder the baby Jason doll?
If you collect NECA’s horror line or loved “Crystal Lake,” the $129.99 early price is the cheapest it will be. After Dec. 1, it costs $20 more.
Just remember that it will not ship until the second half of 2027.
