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 Nosferatu Review

Mezco Toyz 
Nosferatu

Mezco surprised everyone when they announced that they would be doing a figure from the 1922 silent German film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror which was the first vampire film. It's a classic character that has had a major influence on all other vampire films that have come out since then. I honestly don't love vampires or the horror genre in general, but this figure is so visually appealing that it has become one of my favorite Mezco figures which is a pleasant surprise.

Mezco Toyz 2018 NYCC 5 Ronin Wolverine Figure Review

Mezco Toyz 5 Ronin Wolverine

As many of you know by now I love Wolverine as he is my favorite superhero. There can never be too many Wolverine figures for me. I was pleasantly surprised when Mezco announced that they would be making a 5 Ronin version of Wolverine. I bet you never knew you needed a Wolverine with a man bun! The 5 Ronin Wolverine is based on Marvel's 2011 five issue series. Each issue focuses on a different character (Wolverine, Hulk, the Punisher, Psylocke, and Deadpool) and takes place during 17th century feudal Japan.

Mezco Toyz Exclusive One:12 The Joker: Deluxe Edition Review

Mezco Toyz Exclusive
The Joker Deluxe Edition

The Joker is not only the Batman's greatest foe, but he is one of my favorite villains in the DC Comics universe. This crazy psycho is packed with tons of goodies and accessories and truly deserves the title of "Deluxe Edition." This figure is a ton of fun and comes with so much that it's easy to cause a lot of mayhem with him!

Mezco Toyz One:12 Old Man Logan Review

Mezco Toyz 
Old Man Logan

While I am a huge Wolverine fan the Old Man Logan storyline is not my favorite. If you're not familiar it takes place in an alternate reality in a dystopian future where descendants of the Incredible Hulk and She-Hulk (called the Hulk Gang) viciously run a territory of the country (now run by super villains) called Hulkland. Long story short Logan's family is killed and he takes revenge by killing them all except for a baby named Bruce Jr. A lot happens, but you get the point. While I don't love this particular storyline I do love this this figure. Let's take a look.

Mezco Toyz 2018 Toy Fair Press Event

This past weekend we had the pleasure of attending the media event for Mezco Toyz at New York Toy Fair 2018.  They had all kinds of new surprises in store for us. The One:12 line has easily become one of our personal favorite lines to collect. These are super high quality 1:12 scale action figures with cloth goods and tons of accessories. Essentially they remind us of mini Hot Toys, maybe even better.

NECA Toys Arcade Appearance Aliens Xenomorph Warrior Review

NECA Toys Arcade Appearance Xeno Warrior

Regular readers of our website know that we are huge fans of the video game appearance style figures by NECA Toys. What started with a one off SDCC exclusive NES-style Jason Voorhees figure has blossomed into a wildly popular line for NECA. One of my favorite VGA figures up to this point was the blue and brown Dog Alien. This Warrior which is based off the 1990 arcade game is right up there with it in my mind. Let's take a closer look at what makes this figure so great.

Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Punisher Review

Mezco Toyz Punisher

Around this time last year images of the vast expansion of Mezco's One:12 Collective line were showing up.  Many great figures were shown, but their versions of The Punisher really caught my attention.  I am a huge Punisher fan and until recently there hasn't been a good toy version made of him.  After receiving the final version of the Punisher I realize Mezco was the company to finally make a great version of him!

NECA TOYS The Terminator Police Assualt T-800 Review

Police Assault T-800

The "Police Assault" in the Terminator was a scene I relished as a kid.  I always wanted the bad guys to win and take it to the good guys. The Terminator kills 17 police officers after driving a car through the front of the police station.  The music tone is great as he massacres cop after cop trying to find Sarah Connor.  This is a rarity in films as its always the good guys who win, but in this scene it's Terminator 17 - Cops 0. In my opinion, this scene may be the best scene in the entire franchise of the Terminator as it truly shows what a Terminator can do...kill mercilessly and without emotion.
*This is only a fantasy world opinion, not real life.*

"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."

NECA TOYS ROCKY 40th Anniversary Series 1 Review (ROCKY III)

Prediction: PAIN

NECA TOYS has started releasing their Rocky figures, and they look fantastic. Many people missed out on the first Rocky figures so this is the perfect way for many of the newer fans and collectors to catch up on this series without having to deal with the scalpers on eBay! While three of the figures are re-releases one of them is all new, but we will get to that later.
