Summary
Captures Ash Williams from Evil Dead 2 with three distinct head sculpts including a possessed Deadite version, all featuring strong paint and sculpt detail though the likeness to Bruce Campbell is debated. Key accessories like the iconic chainsaw hand, sawed-off shotgun with harness, Necronomicon, severed Deadite hand, and Henrietta head enhance display options. While articulation and cloth outfit offer good poseability, critiques note some joint stiffness and minor fit issues, making it a solid but not flawless interpretation within the One:12 scale.

Reviews & Info
Pros
- Includes three distinct head portraits (heroic, surprised with blood, and Deadite Ash) with hand-painted authentic detailing
- Classic Evil Dead 2 outfit with detailed cloth shirt, tailored pants, sculpted harness, and work boots featuring realistic dirt and blood effects
- Accessories include the Necronomicon (Book of the Dead), sawed-off shotgun (“boomstick”), chainsaw hand, severed possessed hand (flipping off), and severed Deadite Henrietta head
- Over 28 points of articulation allowing for expressive posing, with a well-designed ball neck joint and two-piece boots enhancing ankle movement
- Easy swapping of hands and heads with secure “snap” connections; chainsaw hand slides up the arm rather than snapping on wrist peg
- Excellent paint application, especially on heads and blood effects on chainsaw and clothing, with naturalistic wet blood appearance and weathering
- Holster for shotgun holds weapon securely; harness and shirt tear are stitched to pants to prevent snagging
- Includes a collector-friendly display stand with optional adjustable neck support (though not highly useful for this character)
Cons
- Head sculpts do not strongly resemble a young Bruce Campbell, with some users finding likeness lacking or “soft”
- Single-jointed elbows limit arm articulation and poseability compared to double-jointed alternatives
- Shirt collar is large and tends to stick up, somewhat detracting from overall look
- Boomstick holster sits too low on figure, causing awkward weapon placement
- Shotgun paint is somewhat flat and could use more weathering and detail, especially on the wooden grip
- Severed Deadite head and hand accessories lack display options beyond laying them on the ground or stand
- Right arm sculpt (bare arm) is very thin and has unnatural muscle definition, described as saggy or “old man arm” by some reviewers
- Price point considered high by some reviewers, especially given the body and articulation limitations
