at the place I\'m staying at the moment the people here are pretty cool. Cool enough that they told me I could put up a few things around the house to feel more at \'home\' (lol, wadda joke) but anyway after some thought, I thought that some of my SideShow figures would be something that wouldn\'t take up much space and I would enjoy looking at since I\'ve pretty much kept them in the boxes the whole time. So I got the figures and brought em here and stood em up in a line this evening in the tv area where I can see em.
So anyway I\'m looking at em just now and I think, "nah, remake bubba needs to be a bit more hunched over" so I go over and start playing with him trying to adjust his positioning and all and I notice his boots are flopping around. "wtf?" I think to myself and start looking at them a little closer. Well long story short, remake bubba is wearing VS Jasons boots. Now on the VS Jason they\'re sculpted onto the leg so I\'m guessing they recasted Jasons boots for the bubba doll? The first thing that got my attention was how thick the soles are on the boots and I\'m thinking, "damn those look thick like Jasons VS boots." So I grab Jason down and sure enough, line for line, shoelace for shoelace they\'re the same exact boots. Jasons left shoelace matches bubbas left shoelace, and ditto for the right foot.
Now this is all interesting and all, but I can\'t help feeling like SideShow took a bit of a shortcut here. I don\'t feel cheated, but at the same time I feel like bubba is wearing Jasons boots and not bubbas boots.
I shouldn\'t be too surprised I guess, they gave Myers black hair. :blink:
just thought it was interesting so I thought I\'d share. If any of you have the VS Jason and the Remake bubba, check it out, it\'s kinda cool.
