Okay, I have noticed a real clamouring lately for Sideshow to produce a Roy "fake" Jason figure. I watched a couple of the F13 movies this past weekend, including part 5. The last time I had seen it was way back in my youth. I loved all the Friday the 13th movies... but some of them haven't held up well. And, part 5 is one of these movies. Now, don't get me wrong.. its not "Goes to Hell" atrocious. But it just doesn't feel as "fun" as the other Friday the 13th films. And the Roy ending was the cheapest cop-out ever. I realize they were trying to stick to their promise of 4 being the Final Chapter, at least in terms of the Voorhees family. But, the fact that there was no character development for Roy.. and the fact that he suddenly had Jason's strength and speed.. well, it just felt like a cheat.
But enough of my opinion. I am curious why a lot of you want a figure of him made. He is not Jason, I think we can all agree with that. So why add him to the line.. outside of sheer completist syndrome? Am I missing something with the character?
P.S. In my opinion, I would rather have Part 8 with some cool accessories. While the ending was crap, part 8 had some fun kills and a few geniune laughs.. not Freddy grade humor, but dark humor none the less.
