Mix Max 1:12 Stab of the Hades Figure Review

Mix Max 1:12 Stab of the Hades Figure Review 

I've anxiously been waiting to get this Stab of the Hades figure in hand to see how it compares to other 1:12 lines and it doesn't disappoint! Out of the box the figure just pops and has that sharp Deathstroke look that we've all grown to love. I've followed Deathstroke through the DC Comics Universe where he's had a few different looks so its really a matter of opinion which you prefer. Since I like almost all of his looks this one doesn't disappoint me at all. Let's take a closer look at this new figure and how it compares to Mezco and other Deathstroke releases.

IMMORTAL HULK

Well, this has been my first toy review in quite a while. It's been a busy season in life, but I am making a decision to be disciplined about making time for toys and reviews. We started doing these as a way to blow of steam and have fun so it's good to get back to that.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Exclusive Superman- 1978 Edition Review

 Mezco Toyz Superman- 1978 Edition 

A classic that almost needs zero introduction, the original Superman (1978) Christopher Reeves finally gets a release from Mezco and its really well done. I'm and 80's kid and can fondly remember watching the movie many times on the weekends.  There was just something about Reeve's and the persona he carried as Superman, it just felt like it was a perfect fit.  I would read the comics, and still have my 1980's Superman and Clark Kent Super Powers figures they were the first line of toys I collected. I was extremely happy to see Mezco would be releasing their version but was worried what the final product would look like.  He finally came and I ripped open my tin to find an excellent figure with lots of details and accessories.  

Mezco Toyz One:12 Magneto Review

I am a huge X-MEN fan so of course I was ecstatic to find out that Mezco was going to be making arguably the ultimate baddie in the X-MEN universe. I am extremely happy with how he turned out and I think they knocked him out of the park.

Mezco Toyz One:12 A Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy Krueger Review

Mezco Toyz 
A Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy Krueger

Horror is not my favorite genre of movie, but I do love myself a good horror movie action figure. I loved the One:12 Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees figures so it really isn't any surprise that I love the One:12 Freddy Krueger as well. He comes with a body that has great articulation which is the reason I think this figure is even better than the Michael Myers.

Mezco Toyz 2019 NYCC Exclusive Batman vs Black Mask Figure Set Review

Mezco Toyz 
NYCC 2019 Exclusive Batman vs Black Mask Set

I've been patiently waiting for Mezco to release more bad guys, and I'm really happy Black Mask is the latest!  Mezco killed it with an NYCC exclusive 2-pack set of Batman and Black Mask and probably the coolest thing that came out of NYCC.  The characters are true DC icons that really deserved a sweet blacked out set.  The mob boss Black Mask has his clutch on the criminal landscape of Gotham, and only the Sovereign Knight can stop him!  Let's take a closer look at this amazing set that sold out within 5 minutes of going up for pre-order!

Mezco Toyz One:12 Sovereign Knight Batman Review

Sovereign Knight Batman

Do we need another Batman? Well, yes. Yes, we do...because we love Batman, you love Batman, and Mezco loves Batman. At this point I own many different One:12 Batman figures, but this one just might be my new favorite. He's sharp, mean, and tactical looking. The best part about him is that he is chock full of accessories. What's the point in having a cool utility belt if you don't have accessories, right? So let's take a look at this guy.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Marvel Blade Figure Review

Mezco Toyz Blade

Blade, otherwise known as Eric Brooks, was only a newborn when his mother was attacked by the doctor delivering the baby (Vampire Deacon Frost) and killed her.  In doing so he passed enzymes in his blood into the infant that would eventually become Blade. Blade would go on realizing his powers and fighting all kinds of vampires through time...one of them being Dracula.  Let's see if Mezco's version lives up to the hype of the notorious DAY WALKER! 

Mezco Toyz One:12 Exclusive Purple Variant Catwoman Figure Review

Mezco Toyz Exclusive
Purple Catwoman

Catwoman has always been one of the classic badass villains of DC Comics and a formidable foe for the Caped Crusader. Way before Harley Quinn was even a thing Catwoman was holding it down representing strong female villains. The initial release of this figure was fantastic, but the purple on this one just pops. Plus, Mezco made sure to make some improvements which should make many people happy.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Iron Man Figure Review

Mezco Toyz One:12 Iron Man 

Iron Man is easily one of Marvel's most popular characters at this given moment in time. Much of that is due to the Iron Man and Avengers films. Tony Stark is one cocky mofo, but he has the tech and the suit to back it up. Iron Man was a highly anticipated figure for us. He is unique in that the One:12 line prides itself on its soft goods, but this figure doesn't have any soft goods. With that said, they make up for that by making an extremely sturdy action made with metal parts, light up features, and lots of accessories.

Mezco Toyz 2018 NYCC Iron Man 42 Figure Review

Mezco Toyz Iron Man 42

Iron Man has so many different suits it's hard to keep track of which ones are from which comic or movie. Mezco's first Iron Man release is the 42 with black, grey and gold highlights with a majority of them being on the metal body.  Iron Man's suits all have a certain lure to them, and the black and gold on this one looks really sharp.  We will be getting more suits out of Iron Man's army, but let's take a closer look at the Model 42.

NECA TOYS Shin Godzilla Atomic Blast Review

Shin Godzilla Atomic Blast

GODZILLA!!!! Even though King Kong is my ultimate favorite monster how can you not like Godzilla?!? (Godzilla is Steve's favorite though...he has a thing for reptiles). This is an awesome looking iteration of Godzilla from the 2016 Shin Godzilla film. I was particularly hyped about this figure because of how awesome the purple looked on him! Well, let's see how well that dope glowing purple look translated once it was put into action figure form.

Drone Custom Figures: Punisher Classic Blue Suit Review

Punisher Classic Blue Suit
by Drone Custom Figures

The Punisher's look has evolved over the years, but he was originally introduced in a slick dark blue uniform with white accents.  Spiderman was the first comic he showed up in, but he quickly grew in popularity and evolved into a super hero (or maybe antihero is a better term) character for Marvel. I actually think the clean tight fitting suit in dark blue with white accents is an awesome look.  While no company has compiled this look with fabric Drone Customs decided he needed to provide it to the masses! 

Mezco Toyz Halloween Michael Myers Figure Review

Mezco Toyz 
Michael Myers

Mezco Toyz has been killing it for the last few years especially with their Marvel and DC Comic themed figures, but now (just in time for the release of the new HALLOWEEN movie) Mezco is jumping right on into the realm of horror with their One:12 line of figures as well. Mezco is no stranger to horror, but it is nice to see the One:12 line get in on the action as well. They could not have picked a better character either. The Shape. Pure Evil. Michael Myers. He is easily one of the most popular horror characters in history and they surely did not disappoint us with this figure. 

Mezco Toyz SDCC 2018 Exclusive Special Ops Punisher Review

Mezco Toyz 
Special Ops Edition Punisher

What is the one thing that Mezco fans can't get enough of? PUNISHER!!! Every Punisher from the original release to the PX to the Classic have been amazing. The SDCC Special Ops edition does not disappoint. He has an uncanny load out only to be matched by the PX edition, but the Special Ops introduces many new goodies to us.
