Thread: K-Mart animated Jason??

Tweet

Does anyone own the K-Mart Jason made by Gemmy that is for sale? The box says 6,4 feet tall and realistic sound and movements. I looked on the Gemmy website and saw the video. Is this an accurate representation of the product? Is he really worth $149.00? for those realistic sound and movements? This would be that last prop that I am going to buy this year unless Wal-Mart offers the skeleton baseball vendor.

Thanks in advance.

I don't own him, but I've seen him in action at Kmart this season. I'm 5'10 and he's quite a bit taller than I am. His movement seemed jerky at first, but who knows what shape the floor model was in. After he started doing his thing, it seemed better. The only thing I didn't like, was that his head was too foamy looking. However, in lower lighting, that would be less noticeable, and of course, that's just my opinion on his looks.

The Jason prop is like any Gemmy life size prop - it's ok, not great.

IMO, if there was a Jason for $149 I'd get one. The prices I see in my area are 250 - 300.

Do the eyes move around? That might be a good indication in the difference between the good one and the cost friendly one. Personally im suspiscious of the big stores this year. It seems like a lot of the props quality have gone down in order for them to keep the price down.

The eyes did not move in the one I saw at Kmart in Norfolk, VA. He was okay and with the correct lighting and prop set up, it is a godd buy for the money.
