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 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 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.

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.

Mezco Toyz ToyFair 2020 Showcase Coverage

Mezco Toyz ToyFair 2020 Coverage
I got up at 5:15am on Saturday to catch the train around 7am to get to New York in time to check out the Mezco booth.  ToyFair was another amazing event, but Saturday morning I had Mezco on my mind from the minute I woke up.  Once I completed my trip and sat in line for my badge I was off to Mezco's booth.  Each year Mezco approaches the event a little different than they did the year before.  When 9am came the line outside the booth was packed and you could barely get in! Mezco was the talk of ToyFair which is no surprise as they tend to steal the show every year.  Once I was in the booth it was packed. I could barely move and everyone was getting hit with a barrage of Jansport backpacks. What was to come next was exciting. I just couldn't make my way to every spot in the booth due to the size of the crowd.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Moon Knight Review

Mezco Toyz Moon Knight 
I'm not a huge fan of the Moon Knight character, but I will say he's unique and his costume is sharp.  Marc Spector "Moon Knight" starts of when he's left to die in the desert.  He is discovered and saved by local people, where he was taken to a tomb and placed at the foot of a statue of the moon god.  He is later pronounced dead, but suddenly coming back to life saying Khonshu had brought him back to life! Let's take a closer look at the Superhero in all white, and see if he can withstand the Cheetos dust.

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 John Stewart Green Lantern Review

Mezco Toyz 
John Stewart Green Lantern Review  
As a young boy in the middle of the 80's I can remember one of my first Kenner Super Powers figures was Green Lantern.  The Super Powers line from the 80's is really why I love all of the characters to this day!  Whether its John Stewart or Hal Jordan, I was always following the extremely unique DC character.  John Stewart is a man of many traits, a US Marine Vet, intergalactic guardian and a true hero. Let's take a closer look at John Stewart and Mezco's execution of the Green Lantern.

Mezco Toyz 2019 SDCC Moon Knight Crescent Edition Review

Mezco Toyz 
SDCC Moon Knight Crescent Edition 
There are so many unique characters in the Marvel universe and Moon Knight is no exception.  He always comes with an asterisk saying "He's Marvel's version of Batman" but I don't see him that way. I will say I prefer Batman's suit over Moon Knight's suit and probably prefer Batman's back story over his.  During a full moon, Moon Knight is at his strongest with super speed, invisibility and allowing Marc Spector to do his thing.

HIYA Toys Thinkgeek Exclusive Harley Quinn

Hiya Toys ThinkGeek Harley Quinn 
I think Harley is the baddest girl of the entire bunch.  She's a fun character to play with in Injustice 2 with lots of great moves.  Hiya's adaption of Harley is pretty spot on from what we see in Injustice.  This particular figure is the alternate purple costume from the game. Let's take a closer look at Harley and what Hiya toys has to offer!  

HIYA Toys Thinkgeek Exclusive Superman

Hiya Toys ThinkGeek Superman 
Up in the sky, its a bird, its a plane, no its SUPERMAN!  Superman's suit is more of a modern look from the Injustice 2 video game.  Hiya does a really good job of capturing this costumes from the game and it produces a sharp look.  I actually don't play with Superman in Injustice 2 that much, as I'm really a huge Batman fan from the game.  Let's take a closer look at another great figure from Hiya toys and see how it turned out!

HIYA Toys Red Hood Figure Review

Hiya Toys Red Hood
Red Hood is an awesome character from the Batman and DC Universe.  He's very popular in many comic series as well as in figure form.  A good amount of DC characters are based on super powers, but Red Hood likes his weapons and taking people out.  He has a lot of moves in Injustice 2 that are hard to beat, but he can be a little hard to master.  I was really excited to review this figure by Hiya toys as he comes with some great accessories!

HIYA Toys Swamp Thing Figure Review

Hiya Toys Swamp Thing
Is the Swamp Thing a human or a monster?  He's a MONSTER, that looks like a mix of trees, branches and maybe a little bit of the Hulk.  I read some of the comics as a kid, watched the movie as a teen and always thought he was a weird character.  This version of Swamp Thing is based off of the video game version in Injustice2 that I've played and I'm actually pretty good with him!

Mezco Toyz One:12 Sovereign Knight Batman Review

Mezco Toyz 
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 Mezitz 1989 Batman and Batmobile

Mezco Toyz Mezitz 
1989 Batman and Batmobile 
It's 1989 and Batman is finally on the big screen and it was a huge leap from the previous TV adaption of the character.  Mezco has taken this iconic film/look of Batman and brought it to life in their Mezitz format!  The Batmobile is perfectly scaled with their 2" Mezitz figures and is a really cool piece to play with and look at!

Mezco Toyz One:12 Clown Prince of Crime Joker Review

Mezco Toyz Joker Clown Prince of Crime Edition
The Joker is crazy, and he's a really creepy clown.  Batman's most lethal foe is always cooking up crazy plans of crime and chaos in the dark city of Gotham.  Joker is considered by many people to be the greatest single villain of all time. If you have to sit and think for a minute as to why, then you probably are not a fan of the Joker. Mezco has produced three versions of Joker so far, each one with a unique look for you to decide what's your favorite version.  If you are like me, I have picked up all three versions and hope Mezco continues to do more!
