Do you guys think Mezco could be a dark horse in the action figure department?
>Affordable
>High Quality
>Increasing range of characters
I'm not a huge collector by any means but the Judge Dredd figure is fantastic and I'm eager to see what they come out with next.
>>5545578
I'm not even a huge Captain Marvel fan but something about this makes me want to own it.
I'd murder for a retro Mr Incredible in this range.

>>5545660

>>5545578
They definitely are doing something different. I'm a little disappointed that it's alot of the same characters that we see from everybody else though. There are many characters that would sell but never even get a chance because of dumb Nips and Chads.
>>5545677
You really can't blame them when this line is brand new still and they're still trying to raise awareness for it.
Also, making Shazam is pretty niche, same with Space Ghost, and Green Arrow.
>>5545890
>niche
>Green Arrow
Do you live under a rock?
>>5545891
oh yeah
i don't watch shitty CW shows aimed at teenage girls
>>5545891
Do you live under green arrow?
>>5545896
That show is so fucking insufferable. It's 90% talking/relationship drama of which about 50% is constant flashbacks. Then 10% piss poor action scenes with people twirling about like morons in an attempt to look cool but having no basis in proper combat techniques.
>>5545890
No, but it doesn't mean I'm not tired of the same stuff over and over and over.
>>5546003
Sux 4 u, but Mezco Green Arrow will be my first GA figure and their Punisher will be my first 6" Punisher.
It may not be new to you, but I'm finally filling out my collection of wanted characters, because they're very impressive and better than all their figures that had been done a million times over that i passed over a million times.
I may also get Space Ghost.
>>5545578
>Degradable cloth
Nope.
>>5545978
So you're saying it's exactly like a superhero comic book?
>>5546140
Cloth have potential to last just as long as plastic. Cloth only tends to tear and rip because of how washing machines abuse the clothes and constant abrasion/force from wear. Otherwise a cloth shirt that's never been worn from 40 years ago is just as good as new.
>>5546142
Is that what comic books are like now?
>>5545978
It's based on the comic look though. I don't think Green Arrow has ever got this treatment.
>>5546749
It seems like they have half an eye on current trends (Daredevil, Punisher, Green Arrow etc) but offer versions that are usually neglected.
Aren't they doing Universal Monsters too?
There is images of the Prototype Spiderman, Deadpool and Red Skull out there. I am glad we are getting Red Skull, finally a decent figure of the character in this size. You'd think Doctor Doom would be an obvious choice but since Marvel shelved F4, maybe not.
Based Mezco.
Nobody makes figures like this anymore.
>>5546779
meh
You filled me with glee and i got meh
>>5546779
>Red Skull
Don't play games with me, I need this
>>5546791
oi so close to perfection, why change to the shoes?
>>5546130
I ordered Kirk and will order McCoy. But neither of them have had anywhere near as many toys as some of Mezco's lineup.
>>5546864
Yeah. It's the shoes that bug me, too. Spidey's gotta have flexible feet. That shit don't look right.
>>5546864
I feel the same way about the Civil War costume. So close to a perfect adaptation of the classic costume, then they had to add the stupid slits and notches of blue in the red areas.
>>5545578
Aside from the faces I'm really not too impressed. Proportions look weird when standing straight up and the cleanliness of the sculpt in some areas is very eh.
>>5545580
This would be fantastic with a DCD Kingdom Come head on it.
Or if we're at least had a rounder nose and squared head.
>>5546791
so the hands, feet, headsculpt are going to be plastic right?
>>5546791
Trying to imagine how sculpted webbing on hands and feet with match with fabric elsewhere... Not making sense to me.
I have a feeling this line is gonna have crazy aftermarket prices.
>>5547558
Yes. You would be correct.
>>5547558
Mezco's already re-released Batman after he started up in price, so they're handling the demand pretty well.
Just know that it's mostly retailer feedback that tells them if there is demand. So bitch to your retailers about it if you want to see something re-released/remade/etc. This is true for most toylines as well.
>>5548196
why would we bitch to a retailer and not to the manufacturers themselves? Does anyone actually do that?
>>5548285
because retailers are the ones that reorder stuff.
The more reorders they try to put in, the more likely a company will re-release something.
Basically, money talks. Bitching doesn't.
I really hope Mezco makes a a new Hellboy figure of this quality and articulation.
>>5546791
I'm not too worried until I see an actual prototype on display somewhere.
>>5545677
If there were characters that would sell we would see them already.
They gotta play it safe and to be honest, they didnt even play it that safe. Their second release was Judge Dredd. They are definitely coming out with some different characters among the old faithfuls characters that are guaranteed to sell
>>5545580
>I'm not even a huge Captain Marvel fan
Why the fuck not? This makes no sense,
>>5546142
>So you're saying it's exactly like a superhero comic book?
>I've never read a comic book.
>>5548562
Why the fuck am I not a Captain Marvel fan?
I guess it's the having a mind of a boy weirds me out a little and prefer him as a slightly lesser recognised iconic embodiment of the classic Superhero.
>>5548310
>If there were characters that would sell we would see them already.
Classic appeal to authority. If all of the characters that sell have been made, then all of the characters made have sold, right? I just don't want to see Mezco fall into the same Iron Man and Darth Vader rut that Hasbro is in. Toys are just boring to me with so much repetition. Hopefully they can keep sneaking an interesting figure out here and there.
>>5549750
If you're at all interested in Captain Marvel, check out the Power of Shazam series by Jerry Ordway. There's never been a better embodiment of who the character is.
>>5550683
That being said, I'd love a retro Mezco Iron Man.
Mezco, Sota, Neca. Man the mid 2000s were a great fucking time to be a toy collector fully painted possible art for no more than 18 bucks.and then the middle east ruined it.
>why didn't you mention Toybiz Marvel Legends.
Because I was talking about actually good lines.
>>5550683
> the same Iron Man and Darth Vader rut that Hasbro is in.
What are you talking about?
Hasbro is basically the only company that makes toys based on D and C list characters.
>>5550739
based Puck
>>5550739
They do sort of rely on Iron Men for the legends though
>>5545578
> Affordable
I dunno, $75-80 for 6inch figs is pretty expensive. I can't think of another 1/12 scale line that costs more.
>>5551848
I think he means in comparison to things like Hot Toys.
>>5545578
>Mezco
>Weird muscle bulges under off-scale cloth
>giant stitches
Okay, I am not trying to shitpost, they have good sculpts on the faces, some okay details.
That said, if you do 1/12 you really need to step up the cloth game, or lose it entirely. Say what you will about poseability, but I'll take a sculpted plastic cape or sculpted plastic costume over an off-scale threaded, stitched cloth cape or outfit every time. That shitty cloth kills my suspension of disbelief, and I can't shake the fact they look like Shinkis, or dolls, in home made outfits.
My 2 cents.
>>5552223
>Plastic cape
The cape is literally the only thing you can't complain about mezco
>>5552286
>giant stitching on cape
Those stitches man, they kill it for me every time.
>>5552202
Well everything is affordable compared to them.

Anon, I work as a CAD tech for a surveying and engineering firm, between 55-65 hours a week, with a minimum of 10 hrs of overtime being mandatory. Hardly a NEET. :^)
>>5552223
Honestly, you really can't do better than what Mezco is offering.
I hate a lot of 3a's stuff because of the oversized stitching and just the bulkiness of the clothes, but seeing Mezco's stuff, it seems most of my hate just comes from the bulkiness of the clothes, because Mezco's stuff just doesn't trigger my inner asspie when they're using spandex to cut down on the bulk.
And I'm really glad that Mezco isn't forcing cloth for fucking everything. It's one thing that made 3a's stuff so ugly and harder to pose while looking good, because they'd have plastic over the cloth like armor bits and awkward looking pouches.
Using sculpted plastic is usually better than using cloth.
Oh, and that guy is right, the capes do scale really well.
>>5550709
Cheers buddy, I think I'll check it out at some point. I did read the New 52 reboot stuff though.
Is he actually called Captain Marvel in the comics now though?
>>5552937
>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
If the movie is as hype as I want it to be, I might get this. One of my all time favourite live-action superhero costumes.
>>5553424
>Is he actually called Captain Marvel in the comics now though?
mostly no, although it pops up now and again
he's just Shazam now
>>5553424
Sadly, not as much because DC doesn't want to deal with the confusion between him and marvel comics.
It really pisses me off that they changed it though. He's been Captain Marvel for seventy years. DC won the legal right to call him that. Changing it is just disrespectful to the character and everyone who's worked on the character.
>>5553764
DC fucked themselves over by suing the creators of Shazam in the first place and then not doing shit with him until after Marvel got the copyright for Captain Marvel..
He's Shazam forever.
>>5553718
>he's just Shazam now
So what do they call the wizard. Is he also Shazam?
>>5546749
Fucking hell, I love that costume. And, plus, it doesn't have as much miserable spandex as the other figures they're doing.
You know what would look really good? If they did a Shadow figure.
What do you guys think of the official Daredevil? Look between the legs, it looks like the stretchy fabric from batman but almost perfectly flush with the shiny none stretchy body armour. I'd like to see it in person but it looks like it could be really good and gives me higher hopes for spider-man, just hope they give toe articulation because fuck batman's block feet
>>5554916
It looks great, actually. Really like the shoulder pads.
>>5553183
ThreeA AP Boba was too good for this sinful earth ;_;
>>5545578
>affordable
They're $80. Are they really worth that price?
>>5554970
To be fair the only $80 one so far is Cap, and I'd have to say... no, he doesn't seem like he's worth that. $65-70 is what these are worth in my opinion, and no more unless they have a very complicated outfit or a ton of accessories. That's based on owning two of their Batman figures.
>>5553453
This is almost as bad as Fant4stic Doom.
>>5555022
I looked up Daredevil and he's $80 too. He's really the only one I want, and he's my favorite Marvel character, and he does come with some decent accessories
>>5554916
Looks so good. I'm hesitant with the $95 shipped price tag, but it does look like the best Daredevil I've ever seen.
>>5545578
I preordered this.
I would get something cheaper but every other Cap figure out there seems so shitty to me.
>>5554102
Nah, they call him the Wizard
his name is Mamaragan though
>>5554916
I'm not a fan of soft goods but DD is my favorite character and this looks like the best toy he's ever had.
I'm torn.
>>5545578
$65-80 is affordable to you? Compared to what, Hot Toys? It's wildly expensive in my opinion. Some of them look pretty good I think, but the price is too high.
>>5555732
What do you consider to be affordable? Not including Japanese toys.
>>5555732
>65
>wildly expensive
Get a job.
>>5555751
For a 1:12 scale figure it is pretty steep.
>>5555763
Scale does not equal quality.
>>5555770
Quality might not be the card to play, here, with this funky-looking spandex and questionable fit and finish.
>>5555890
Even if you don't think this looks good, it's still a perfectly appropriate card to play considering 1/12 scale figures can range from crap like Jazzwares garbage to great like stuff GSC and Tamashii makes.
Scale does not equal quality. A giant turd and a small turd are still both turds. Quite frankly I find it absolutely baffling that anyone could possibly have trouble grasping such a simple concept, especially considering we're on /toy/ of all places.
>>5555751
Pretty sure they are all $70-80 now, and only the Startrek figs are $70.
>>5555922
Pretty good considering the quality and the material.
Figma's Thor and Cap were about the same price and they looked like crap. I hope their Hulk turns out alright.
>>5555932
Figma's thor and cap were 80usd?
Daredevil's up for preorder.
I'm worried about the rubber-over-cloth eventually cracking and I wish his unmasked head has glasses, but I preordered it. Too cool to pass up.
>>5548590
Have you read capeshit n the past decade?
>>5553869
DC's legal department has historically sucked balls. Remember how they lost their logo?
>>5555985
Where?
>>5556008
BBTS has him. I'm sure others will soon if not already.
>>5555922
I think it's gonna vary, depending on the character/name. I got the regular Dredd for $65.
Their DC stuff looks to be ~$75, Star Trek $70, Marvel $80. I wonder if they'll price this guy closer to Dredd's
>>5556027
Anyone know what I could use as a desk for this to make a Coast to Coast diorama?
>>5556027
The days of $60-65 are over. The first two figures were just to get their foot in the door, from here it only goes up.
>>5556031
I was about to ask almost exactly the same thing.
I was thinking about grabbing the old coast to coast figure for the desk, but would it be a good idea to drop an extra $50 just for the desk? Think it would look good with him?
>>5555978
More like seventy if I remember correctly, but yes, they were about that expensive. Licencing fees or some shit. And they turned out pretty poor. Figma Hulk is like a hundred. I have him on preorder because I love Hulk and I think he's stylized enough in design that he won't suffer from the same issues as the other.
>>5556042
I'm sure a fuckton of people are thinking the same. My first instinct says to wait-and-see because someone is bound to do just that and post pictures. If you have to, I'm sure you can just make one.
>>5556027
Man, I really wanted to like this, but I just...don't? His body looks weird.
>>5556055
Maybe we'll get a coast to coast variant that fixes all of the flaws.
>>5556055
The head looks a tad big to me.
Dat bulge doh.
>>5556068
Yeah the head looks a bit funky, I also wish it was based a bit more off of Coast to Coast than it was off of the original show.
>>5556073
I feel like coast to coast would sell better. Don't get me wrong, I watched and enjoyed the original show as a (admittedly very very young) child, but CtC is reason I remeber Space Ghost.
>>5556100
Exactly, if it was a pack with Space Ghost, Zorak, Brak and some coast to coast props to fuck about with it would be a guaranteed instant buy for me.
>>5556114
I could use a nice Zorak to be a dick to my other toys.
>>5556114
For a Mezco-quality set like that, I would pay a disgusting amount of money.
>>5556114
I could go for a Moltar and Harvey Birdman.
>>5556124
Drop a classic TOM in with Moltar and it'd be perfect.
Fuck, if we're going that far some Mezco Adult Swim figures would be pretty neat.
>>5556126
Oh yeah, I forgot Moltar hosted Toonami.
>>5556126
>Mezco Squidbillies
>>5556130
I should probably say, Mezco Carl was the idea running through my head when I said that.
>>5555985
Daredevil's my favorite superhero, but I am honestly just not in love with this figure. I don't like how his mask is broken, it makes it look like it's plastic or something as opposed to cloth. Also, the tacticool elements are not appealing. Looks like a dweeb. I'm torn.
>>5556132
Throw in a 2 wycked and I'm sold.
>>5556135
What are your thoughts on the yellow one?
I wish the red DD's suit was made of a material more like the maroon on this one instead of rubberized cloth.
>>5556135
Anon, I don't know if it's just the lighting they put it in, but that figure looks like crap. If I were you I'd wait for some more pictures.
>>5556141
I'm not crazy about the yellow in general, but this figure certainly compounds the "dweeb" issue. The head sculpts for these are just too goofy. It also irritates me that they were able to go without the tacticool just fine for this but not the red suit.
Whats wrong with this look? Literally every other figure in their Marvel line looks like their comic counterpart, why did they have to fuck with Matt so hard? I'd sooner but a figure based off the TV series tbqhf
>>5556235
I personally hate the recent legends figure for using that dehydrated bodybuilder buck. I don't think it's fits DD at all. I prefer a little bit of tacticool and I mean, shoulder pads and knee pads makes sense, his classic look offers zero protection and I think solid spandex suits look far more dweebie than cool, at least in toys. It just never really translates well imo. In the comics the solid red suit is fine.
Actually the torso they recently used for Dr Strange would be a good. A thinner, but still fit torso with some fabric wrinkles.
I would vastly prefer a tv version, though. That shit it cash.
>>5556368
>shoulder pads and knee pads make sense
They hinder his movement though, he's all about acrobatic shit. I really don't get the appeal of the tv suit.
I REALLY wish they'd just make straight up golden age and/or first appearance versions of heroes.
I want all gold iron man and Frankenstein hulk, and all the other original avengers in their early years
the ones that do exist from toybiz are outdated
>>5556452
Original Golden Age Batman would be cool.
>>5555684
I bought the Judge Dredd one despite being in a similar boat and I wasn't disappointed.
Blue Beetle(Ted Kord) when?
>>5556141
thumbnail looks like a gross real proportion bart simpson
I need a Nightwing, Mezco get your shit together.
Stop with the 80$ tho fucking jews
>>5556039
This, they'll be $100+ soon.
>Buying dolls that aren't Monster High figures
Lol homo.
>>5546179
>I never owned a toy with cloth : the post
When does the shazam release?
>>5560935
July-August but every One:12 release so far has been delayed at least once. Mutant Leader was supposed to be out in December but it was released a week or two ago.
Their Dredd is awesome, and I got it for only $38
>>5555022
I MIGHT spring for $160 for the two versions of Daredevil I want, but that's only because I've been waiting so long for good figures of him.
>>5561235
Wow, where? I just ordered it for $46 shipped. Never had a Mezco figure but this just looked so nice. It seems to be a definitive Dredd.
>>5562017
Amazon had it for about $54 and I had 17 bucks on a gift card. It's fucking awesome, it's a figure you love looking at.
Man, Canadian Amazon is so fucking horrible. All you get is scalpers charging retard prices.
The only thing they reliably have is video games.
I want the Daredevil really badly but $80 is fucking ridiculous. That's disgustingly overpriced and i'm not even sure how much the shipping will be. Mezco can suck my dick. That should be the price of 2 figures at best.
This is the only mezco i'm interested in at the moment.
>Mezco has the Beetlejuice license
>is making 1/12 high quality figures now
If there's a god in heaven, Mezco will deliver us a 1/12 beetlejuice. Come on, baby.
>>5562501
Have you ever owned a One:12?
They're not hunks of plastic; they're definitely going to cost a good deal more than $40.
I agree 80 feels a bit high, but so what? If you're not happy with the price, don't buy it and pray that it goes down after release, not up.
>>5562263
Nice, good to hear. I'm going to use this figure to decide whether or not to drop the dosh on that Ollie they're doing.
>>5562722
The more I watch Daredevil, the more I want this figure. I can probably only afford one this year, it's between DD, Cap and Cap. And movie Batman.
>>5555732
I feel incredibly unsatisfied buying Marvel Legends and Hot Toys are just completely out of my reach. Mezco looks like an opportunity to get some high quality representations of some of my favourite characters in a way that won't break the bank.
I'm not a massive toy collector so spending hundreds seems alien to me, but I'm a big fan and I feel quite comfortable having Judge Dredd looking over my student dorm room.
>>5561235
The dredd is cool, but that suit hinders articulation like a motherfucker.
>>5563880
It's not that bad unless you want limbs spinning around in every direction.
>>5556455
I could go for a Squinting Supes too.
>>5563175
Their Caps look cool but I'm just not enough of a Cap fan to justify it. Batman seems good, but I feel like the Mafex will satisfy me more than enough.
The only alternative for Matt, though, is the Marvel Legends, which I'd happily give up for this one.
Maybe I'll pick up the ML yellow DD since I don't love that suit as much.
>>5565013
I'll see how long it takes for my Daredevil hype to ride off but if I'm still after it when my student loan comes in, I'll preorder.
>>5545578
I want this guy and the other 2. The third version hasn't been revealed yet.
>>5546779
I'd love to see the whole ff line up done by mezco, especially ben. But yeah the whole marvel rights bullshit will probably not let us see the ff for another 10 years :'c
>>5565709
I've found myself itching for a Fantastic Four team lately. I bet they'd have fun with the accessories/alternate body parts.

>>5562289
Amazon fees are 20% and they short you on shipping. There is just no room to charge a reasonable price. I used to sell much cheaper over Square invoice but practically nobody would go for it. They'd prefer to tithe eJew and Amajew and whine about "scalping."
>>5568940
Everybody likes to go "dur hur bbts lol" but then let amazon pound them in the ass even harder.
>>5553183
You're not making a good point with that picture, and you are wrong.
3A might have some ever so slightly oversized stitching that is easy to ignore, but it absolutely does NOT have out of scare fabrics, you can't even see the fibers and threads in that pic the way you can see in every ONE:12 pic.
No, 3A may be shit in their offerings these days, but they are much MUCH better than Mezco when it comes to fabric in this scale.
>>5568961
Muh cheap/free shipping.
Though I gotta say you get your monies worth with BBTS. I didn't even know they made boxes so sturdy or bubblewrap so robust until I ordered from them.
>>5569491
Oh look, ThreeA Dredd shill is back...
>>5569491
They're comparing two completely different materials. You can't compare spandex that has elastic ribbed for tight forming clothes versus the felt/canvas-lite that's looks stiff.
If 3a used spandex, you'd see the same ribbing as Mezco's. There's really no avoiding that.
BTW, the figure on the left has ribbing on his thickass sweater. It's hard to see in that low res image, but it's there. Stylistic choice, but man, thickass stiff clothing bugs me and it's why i prefer Mezco's spandex approach.
>>5569517
huh? I never heard about a 3A shill, I've heard about a Mezco shill though, would that be you? I don't even like their Dredd. I like Mezco's better actually. Although, the outfit on 3A does look better done, but don't like the toothless vibe.
>>5569704
3A has used spandex and it doesn't look as telling as Mezco.
Yeah I know it's there, and it's a bit off scale, but it's waaaaay less noticeable than say Batman.
Even in that hi-res pic you posted, the fibers that are barely noticeable look in scale with the rest of the figure.
Look, I'm not saying 3A is better, it's been years since I've bought anything 3A. I'm just saying their clothing is better, and it is.
Sculpt-wise Mezco is 100x superior. Even if I don't like their "realistic" interpretations, the detail is there.
>>5569735
>3A has used spandex and it doesn't look as telling as Mezco.
I only buy 3a's robot and rarely pay attention to anything else, but pic?
Doesn't count if it's not in 1:12 scale.
BTW, i also don't think Mezco is better than 3a either. I'm just saying that they're limited in the materials they can choose from and either of them can do as good of a job or not.
So i'd like to see 1:12 spandex that doesn't have the ribbing for being skin tight.
... or be pantyhoseshit that'll wear away fucking fast, but i haven't seen that used in a long time, even for 1/6 stuff.

>>5555985
Yeah, I'm definitely getting that Daredevil.
>>5571732
Because he's not Daredevil.
