Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective The Mask figure Review

  Mezco Toyz 
The Mask 

If you're a fan of Dark Horse comics, at some point you probably saw an ad or read issues of The Mask.  Don't get this Mask confused with the 1994 Jim Carrey movie adaption of The Mask, as his look is unique. The comic is what brought this character to life way before the movie, and most would agree was even more entertaining than the movie.  Dark Horse comics really liked to give us edgy stuff, and The Mask falls right inline with the other comics they did during their run. Let's take a closer look at Mezco Toyz take on the Dark Horse Comic Mask figure.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Exclusive Rumble Society Local 112 Union Gomez Review

  Mezco Toyz Rumble Society 112 Union Gomez

So far 2022 has been a little lighter then usual for Mezco Toyz release's but we have still received some nice figures.  The latest in the Rumble Society line of original Mezco figures is the 112 Union Gomez. Mezco released Union Gomez without any insight he was coming and there was a lot of opinions on the figure and overall Mezco releases in 2022.  Collectors are concerned we are waiting on so many older preorders, while the Rumble Society figures keep coming out. This isn't a issue to me, but can understand if some collectors are frustrated with the delays. Union Gomez is another unique original character that has lots of appeal and accessories but seems slightly bland at the same time.  I'm really excited to finally have this figure in hand and give you my opinion on how well Mezco did with this version of Gomez.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Exclusive Batman vs Two-Face 2 Pack Review

Mezco Toyz Batman vs Two Face 2 Pack

Mezco does it again with another Batman and Two Face! Over the past few years many Mezco customers feel there's been to much focus on Batman, but I'm not one of those collectors and I really enjoy what this 2-pack comes with and the throwback feel to the figures.  If you've followed the Batman comics for a long time then you are going to enjoy this set.  The artwork on the boxes is excellent and really matches what Mezco has put together in figure form. Let's take a closer look at this 2-pack and everything it comes with.

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.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Exclusive Rumble Society Captain Nemo Review

  Mezco Toyz Rumble Society Captain Nemo

Mezco continues to produce its own unique characters and Captain Nemo is the next in line.  I wasn't sure about Nemo when I first saw the announcement, but I quickly came around when I saw how loaded he was with accessories.  In hand, I really like the head portraits and the immense amount of detail that went into the character and his weapons.  You get the impression Nemo is the King of the seas and he's taken on so many crazy tasks and continues to come out on top!  Now let's take a closer look at the King of the Rumble Society seas and see how well Mezco did!

HIYA Toys Exquisite Mini's AVP Predators Youngblood, Temple Guard, Warrior Review

    HIYA Toys Exquisite AVP Predators Review 

Predator is the best franchise out there, am I correct?  Ok, I know a lot of the latest movies and designs haven't been the best, but the designs from AVP have really translated well into action figures. This review covers the second tier Predators Youngblood, Temple Guard, Warrior and the Unmasked Scar all from Aliens vs Predator. Now that they are finally in my hands, let's take a closer look at just how good Hiya did with this wave!

HIYA Toys Exquisite Mini's Alien Queen and Eggs Review

   HIYA Toys Exquisite Queen Alien and Eggs Review 

The Alien Queen is the best of the best of the xenomorphs and is not something you want to run into. It started with the Aliens movie in 1985 and expanded in the Dark Horse comics universe and other movies that would later follow.  One thing always was consistent, she was menacing and a force to be reckoned with!  Ripley faced one and in my opinion she only won out of pure luck, others faced them and generally a nuke was needed to finish off the job.  In Aliens vs Predator it took a human/predator team up to barely win the battle only later to find out the damage was already done. Scar was soon to give birth to a Predalien in the Predator mother ship.  Hiya toys is expanding and growing and their figures just get better and better.  Let's take a closer look at this beautiful figure and her eggs hoping we don't lose our lunch.

HIYA Toys Exquisite Mini's AVP Predator and Alien Figures Review

  HIYA Toys Exquisite AVP Predator and Aliens Movie Figures

I've finally got the new Hiya Toys AVP Predators and Aliens in hand and they are awesome! I'm not a over the top fan of the AVP movie, but I really like the designs of the characters.  When you watch the movie there is something off with the Predators and their suits, but the figures look great and better then what we see on screen.  I thought the Alien design was very sleek and good looking in the movie so the figures naturally look great and are accurate.  Now that they are finally in my hands, let's take a closer look at just how good Hiya did with this wave!

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Exclusive Rumble Society Hoodz: VAPOR Review

 Mezco Toyz Hoodz: VAPOR Review 

Mezco has done well with creating their own unique characters and Vapor is no exception to the line.  Mezco has been in the game for awhile, and they are starting to bring back some of their early classic looks.  Vapor has a ton of personality and appeal with his bright colors and amazing expressions!  I wasn't sure if this was a figure I would get into, but after having him in hand he's a great change of pace from Mezco's usual releases.

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 Collective DC KGBeast Figure Review

Mezco Toyz DC KGBeast Figure Review 

Finally we are getting some of the DC villain characters after all of the Batman releases from Mezco. Listen, I love Batman and I have almost every version Mezco has put out, but I've been anxiously waiting for some villains.  I've been excited to get KGBeast from the day Mezco made their announcement he was apart of their lineup.  Once I had him in hand I was overly impressed with the amount of detail and quality that was put into the figure.  I honestly don't think there's much more that could of been added to the figure.  Now let's take a closer look at KGBeast and see what makes this a great release from Mezco.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Hellboy (2019) Review

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Hellboy Review 

There's been a few iterations of Hellboy with lots of debate over what's a good movie/bad movie and poor take on the character.  Lionsgate not long ago released their version of Hellboy and it didn't receive a lot of  great reviews which was a let down.  Mezco bought in to the new film and created the iconic Hellboy from this film, and even if you don't like the movie you have to say this is a great figure.  A few companies have recently released a version of the character, but Mezco's take on the character from the movie really looks and feels good in your hands. Let's take a closer look at Mezco's version of Hellboy and why he's worth adding to your collection.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Black Bolt and Lockjaw Review

  Mezco Toyz Black Bolt and Lockjaw Review 

I have to admit, I'm not a huge Inhumans fan with the story line and characters but I wasn't going to miss out on getting Lockjaw! Black Bolt is the King of the Inhumans with many assorted powers mostly based off of his insanely loud voice.  The King can do damage to anything even with a few soft spoken words, this is power that we can only dream of.  Lockjaw is the protector of the Inhumans family, and has the ability to teleport across time and space and is a key part of the Inhumans. This set took a little longer than I expected to released, but once in hand it's awesome and Lockjaw is the crown jewel in this set.  Mezco keeps hitting us with great release after great release, its hard for all of us to keep up!

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Popeye & Bluto: Stormy Seas Ahead Deluxe Boxed Set

 Mezco Toyz Bluto and Popeye Set Review 

The Popeye story is a character that goes way back, so far back your parents know who the characters are.  He's a sailor who loves spinach always battling against Bluto is his arch-rival. Mezco has released two previous versions of Popeye about a year ago, but many were hoping we would eventually get a Bluto to go with him and Mezco hooked it up!  The box set is pretty much an ultimate set for both characters, coming with lots of iconic accessories and the unique look all Popeye fans love and adore. I was excited when I first saw the announcement of the set, and it's even better in hand. Mezco always brings the heat and this deluxe set nails these two characters perfectly.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Batman: MDX Supreme Knight: Shadow Edition Review

 Mezco Toyz Batman: MDX Supreme Knight Review 

Mezco has always crushed it when it comes to Batman, simply put the owner of Mezco Toyz is a die hard Batman fan so of course he gets the most attention.  Mezco has been closing out the trilogy with the Supreme Knight figures, and the MDX may have saved the best Batman release for last!  There are so many amazing things that come with this version, which I essentially consider an 'Ultimate" Mezco Batman.  I was excited to take him out of the box and look at all of the wonderful things he comes with. Let's take a closer look at this jam packed Batman and see if he lives up to the hype!

Hiya Toys Exquisite Mini's Injustice 2 Video Game DC Figures Review

 Hiya Toys Exquisite Mini's Injustice 2 Video DC Figures

Bane: Darkseid: Aquaman: Reverse Flash:

Hiya toys started me off with their DC Injustice 2 figures about a year ago when I did my first review on them.  My initial take was they are great figures for their scale and pretty well made.  There were some slight paint issues with the figures but overall I gave them a good rating. Fast forward to the next set of Injustice 2 figures Hiya just released and they really upped the ante. The second series comes with Darkseid, Aquaman, Bane and Reverse Flash, which ends up being a very nice release.  Reviewing their first wave of figures was a lot of fun, but I couldn't wait to see what the larger figures looked like out of the box.  Hiya is quickly becoming a hot company, let's see if they maintained that hot streak with this new wave release.

HIYA Toys Exquisite Mini's Robocop 2 Figures review

 Hiya Toys Exquisite Robocop 2 Figures

Robocop 2 is set in Detroit in a not so distant future, and OCP is a evil corporation that is trying to make another version of the infamous Robocop.  This time hes battling a drug gang and the evil leader Kane who's a complete psycho.  I enjoyed the first and the second movie pretty equally with my favorite character ED-209 getting chances to steal the show.  Hiya has taken the Robocop 2 character and shrunk him down into a 4" highly detailed figure.  If you have watched the movie you realize that Robocop takes a beating and Hiya also offered us a battle damaged version that is pretty spot on.  Let's jump into my review and see how the exquisite minis stand up to the look and feel of Robocop 2.

HIYA Toys Exquisite Mini's Predators Movie Figures Review

 HIYA Toys Exquisite Predators Movie Figures

I remember the first time I saw the trailer for "Predators" and it had me split. I really liked the plot of the movie and the idea of the Predators taking unique humans and hunting them on their own planet.  Upon watching the movie it was a little deflating with the choice of actors, and some of the human vs Predator battles, but it did give us fresh new designs of "Super" Predators.  So the movie wasn't the best but in the end the new designs caught people's attention and over the years a love has grown for the designs in the movie. I was very pleased to see HIYA was going to take on the challenge of this group and they did a great job executing.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Harley Quinn Review

  Mezco Toyz Harley Quinn Review 

It's Harley Quinn, this sweet little girl that likes long walks and lolly pops.  If that were Harley I think she would be a much different character, maybe even a woman who pursues Bruce Wayne.  Harley is a bad, bad girl with lots of crazy thoughts going through her head and shes's in love with everyone's favorite whack job the Joker.  The first Harley I owned was the Mezco movie version and I thought she was a very cool figure with great head sculpts. This Harley, is the one that we saw in the comics or even some animated series where she just likes to be a wild girl. I was excited to get her in hand and when I opened her up, she really met my expectations.  Let's take a closer look at this very kind and lovely woman we call Harley Quinn.

Hasbro GI JOE Classified Series Cobra Pimp Daddy Destro Review

GI JOE Classified Cobra Pimp Daddy Destro 

It's been a long time since we had new GI JOE figures from Hasbro in our hands, but its starting to look like it was worth the wait. I've been picking up the majority of the 6" classified series, but right now I think Pimp Daddy Destro is my favorite in the current line.  Now this isn't the same level of figure we are used to reviewing with the $23 price tag, but it doesn't matter its a great figure. Hasbro released the original deco Destro in wave 1, but I'm really happy they went with this repaint for him.  Lets take a closer look at what Hasbro is offering us now in the 6" scale.
