So in July 2024 I decided to take on the task of cosplaying the pre-uber Jason Voorhees design from the 2001 movie Jason X, This is the documentation of that process.
Oh jeez... How do I even start with this one...
Kane Hodder's Jason in Jason X has 2 versions, a pre-uber, in where the design looks more like Jason Goes to Hell's Jason and is used the most in the movie, and an uber design, which is used for the rest of the movie.
I'm deciding to cosplay Pre-Uber Jason.
It's arguably the hardest jason to cosplay, which has several specially made clothes in the moive, but it's decently easy to find alternatives that look similar.
Thankfully there are images of the full underclothes.
This Jason wears Light Grey Pants, Black Boots, and a Light Grey Work Shirt, and for some reason, it doesn't have pockets. The pants and shirt have bullet holes in them.
The big problem with this cosplay arises with the shredded straight jacked on Jason.
HOW??? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REPLICATE THIS???
First of all, it's made of leather, there's a 3 prong brass-looking belt buckle on the torso, and broken chain links on the shoulders.
There IS another version of the screen used outfit with an easier to replicate tear on the torso but that doesn't remove the fact that I have to find a similar looking leather jacket.
The chains look decently easy to replicate, though.
Jason also wears fingerless gloves. How cool!
For the mask, it's decently easy to find a blank online, so that won't really be a problem for me.
As for a hood, I won't really need one, since Jason has some hair in the movie, I can let it all fly, since my hair is similar to Jason's in the movie.
Not in the way that my hair is all ripped out or anything lol
As for a overall percentage, I got nothing for it.
jesus christ.
It took me a bit of searching but I ended up finding a shirt and a jacket that fit the bill for the cosplay.
I fucking win.
with this now i just need the mask, chains, and broken shoulder chains.
I could also color the jacket to look more accurate to the color of the images of the outfit I sent above.
SOOOOO MUCH PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE.
GLOVES, BULLET HOLES, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE MASK!!!
I also made a small display for it! :]
I haven't updated this page in MONTHS but I've come to make a BIG progress update!!!
I have mostly finished the cosplay!!!
and as for a hood... A NEW KIND OF FEAR CUSTOMS IS A GODSENT.
I haven't updated this site in MONTHS but it's still worth saying the progress of it.
Loads of progress has been made. ...Again.
I got shackles, the surgical machete, AND I got a new mask.
I made the side straps too long but it's alright.
Sooooo... I guess this cosplay is done now? I don't know.
Here's the link to the resources I used to make this cosplay.
