In the photo op area they recreated Jason's shack - complete with a canoe outside, with tons of props inside and laying around - Not green screen. Even had the game lobby music playing in the background. *Sorry for potato quality - it's a picture of the glossy picture they provide. Here's my pic with Retro. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dogmatic 172 Posted July 17, 2018 It was pretty cool, I have to admit. It was something I had to do, considering the history I have with ol' purple and blue. If any of you have the NECA Retro Jason figure, flip the box over and look at the credits at the bottom. My name is the one labeled "Special Thanks". My second proudest accomplishment in life. Also, my buddy and I chatted up Ronnie for a bit while waiting for the print. It went about as well as you'd think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrCaffeine 15 Posted July 18, 2018 @Dogmatic FYI they finally uploaded the Kane Hodder photo ops to the mad monster facebook page. Apparently he dressed up as Sack Head on Friday - photo ops are expensive... wish I could have gotten all 3. *edit* Forgot the link: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Mad-Monster-156479414375098/photos/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dogmatic 172 Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks for the heads up, downloaded mine. I kind of wish that I had been able to spring for the Savini op, but I'm glad I didn't pay the extra cash for the Part 2. It doesn't look right, just like in the game. From what I heard from people at the con, Kane wasn't really comfortable doing it since he didn't play that Jason.

Usually he's grabbing people, strangling people, etc. Here's what I mean: Kane in Part 7 photo op Edited July 19, 2018 by MadMike Added link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZombiesareOK 4 Posted July 19, 2018 Wow. I never thought retro Jason would translate well to a real world costume, but Kane looks fantastic in purple and blue! In my opinion, it's the best costume of this bunch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It almost looks like they just photoshopped different people into the same photo, he moves so little in some of them. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Mad-Monster-156479414375098/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2021187947904226 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's even worse when you hit "artists row" at a comic convention, and the washed up porn "stars" are there selling pics and autographs to their core constituency.

I can't remember too many details other than it was mostly about the creation of the game, and experiences. The 2nd to last question was about some of the bugs in development, and the last question was mine about the possibility of seeing new content. Wish I had a better response(or even better a video to share). 21 hours ago, Big Daddy J said: Yeah, meanwhile if you look through the Savini Jason photos, he literally barely budges between them.

He couldn't move, see, and barely talk. Ronnie had to come up and adjust his costume before my picture. I spoke to Kane afterwards and he could barely remember/see anything from the photo-ops. The mask made his head look a bit funny, i think it was the lighting, but the whole atmosphere was fun, and still a pretty cool and unique pic. How often do you get a chance to see Kane Hodder dressed as Savini Jason, AND get a picture. I wish i had gone on Sunday, but real life prevented me from seeing retro jason.
