Hey all. Sorry for the long gap between posts. I'll save you the whole song and dance and just jump right into this one.
So what you're looking at above is probably one of the more cleverer cosplays I've seen in a very long time - Jason Voorhees as he appeared in the 1989 8-bit NES game, Friday the 13th. I'm not sure who the cosplayer is, but the photo was taken sometime last week at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo in Los Angeles.
UPDATE: After a little digging, the cosplayer's name is Robert Trippett. Well done sir!
While this is might actually be the first time we've seen NES Jason in cosplay form, Trippett was obviously inspired by NECA's 2013 San Diego Comic Con exclusive of the same name. Unfortunately, because he was an exclusive to SDCC and you weren't there to pick him up, you'll have to scour eBay and likely end up paying some outrageous prices. If interested however, NECA also has an 8-bit inspired Freddy Krueger out (available at online retailers) from the 1989 NES Nightmare on Elm Street and has plans to bring us an 8-bit inspired Robocop sometime next year.
Hopefully we will eventually see an 8-bit Jason vs Freddy pic sometime in the future :)
Stay nerdy my friends.
