Action Figure Mezco One:12 Collective - (1:12 scale) DC Comics Figures

After, I said after that one

TDKR Bats is immaculate, it's a grail and I'm glad I have 2, I love that figure.

I have tons of complaints and nitpicks for most of the figures that came after that one though.

I have the Armored Batman and he came out pretty damn good, but to each of thier own i suppose...

Armored Batman also looks fantastic. It's not one of the figures I have problems with And for the record, I think that one is worth its retail price, unlike Punisher.

If not for my no-movie-figures policy, I would get it.

Regular Batman and Superman, Flash, Zoom, Shazam, Classic Supes, they all either have either big ass problems or teeny tiny nitpicks that keep them from being perfect, and I don't know which is worse, the big problems or the tiny nitpicks.

I do have a few Problems with comic superman. But i don't care for superman so that doesn't really bother me too much. I am looking forward to Normal BVS Batman. He looks fine to me but thats just me I guess the maybe IDK.

I take it you don't have any of the Dredds they've released then? As much as I love Batman, Dredd is the better figure of the two.

I just got the B+W NYCC version and it's my favourite figure out of anything I own. Even the Hot Toys stuff.

I'll have to broaden the Gaspar's ONE:12 approval threshold because I also think Dredd is perfect. Dredd, TDKR line, including mutant leader, Frankenstein and Space Ghost are perfect. Don't have a single problem with those.

I like Dredd, but I went with 3A because I like their classic approach better than Mezco's modern one, I supposed that's about picking the version you like the best.

It'd be nice to have that kind of variety in a Superman figure

Well, they are doing Red Son Superman, and they also confirmed DKR Superman and Joker are on the way at some point in the future.

I have to be honest, I've reassessed my balking at the price of these figures as a result of the strong yen and weakened pound. When SH Figuarts, etc were costing me £30 or less, £60-70 for the One:12 figures seemed pretty steep. Now it's more like £40+ vs £60-70, and honestly I feel like I'm getting more for the extra cash out of Mezco's offerings.

Putting the Dredds I picked up recently next to some of my human SHF figures really hammered home the divide between a figure clothed in real fabric (hiding most or all of the joints), and a hard plastic figure masquerading as being clothed (with joints and cuts visible everywhere). Frankly, I don't think I can go back

Exactly which is why i don't get why some people want mezco to go with fully sculpted figures... That's not what this line is... Mezco stated at the very begining that they wanted to offer what 1/6 companies were offering with real clothing and lots of accessories, multiple hands, and heads.

That gives me hope, because Red Son looked great, until I saw those retarded briefs sewn together to the rest of the costume.

I don't know, take the BvS figures for instance, Mafex has **** QC, but their figures have better likeness and the costumes look way better than the Mezco counterparts.

I used to think all-fabric in 1/12 was the way to go, until I started to see not everyone can handle it as perfectly as 3A.

Exactly which is why i don't get why some people want mezco to go with fully sculpted figures...

I explained why. And it's not all or nothing, you can pick and choose the where and when, not all figures are appropriate for fabric and not all figures are appropriate for sculpted plastic.

Im just saying from the start mezco has said that wa sthe goal is fully clothed figures not half.... I have no problem with the BVS Mezco figures. Some might but thats them. Alot of ppl perfer the full clothed look so don't so it's really an mixed bag. But I perfer it to be fully clothed hiding the joints if possible... I'm not at all worried on thier Keaton if you look at how thier Spiderman or that black Ninja dude which is prob the same material mezco would use or spandex with armor plates glued on top.

I guess it's all subjective because I think the Mezco BvS figures shown so far look way better than the Mafex offerings. I really hate the way Mafex handle skin and face paint apps, so that doesn't help.

As for soft goods, I honestly think Mezco have mostly outrun ThreeA at this point, especially with the leathers on Green Arrow or the suit on their BvS Batman with accurate piping and textures. It's a small thing, but I was really impressed too by the trousers on their Star Trek figures. They sit and stack very naturally, which is a real accomplishment in this scale. The most impressive ThreeA clothing in this scale was always the coats, that's one thing Mezco don't seem to have mastered yet. PX Punisher and Knightmare Batman's look terrible.

You really have no problems with the BvS figures? No problem with the bloated look, the total lack of Cavill's likeness, that awful pattern that looks like the fabric was burnt instead of looking like that Kryptoninan "chain mail", etc etc? Well, to each their own then, if you don't have a problem with that, I doubt you'll have a problem with anything Mezco does.

Unfortunately I love Supes and Supes fans have been getting terrible figures since the dawn of time I'd be nice to have a good figure for a change. It'd be a grail just like the SS PF became a grail.

Yeah, their QC is awful, even then, the end product looks better than Mezco's protos. If only they weren't made out of glass

They have not, not by a long shot.

The textures of the BVS figures look horrible and the leather or Arrow might as well be sculpted plastic because of how thick it is

They have noting on 3A, the tailoring, the intrincate designs of the clothing are miles ahead anything Mezco's done, from cargo pants to coats, they have full suits, boiler suits, all within several layers of clothing.

For starters, there's barely any piece of 3A clothing where you can see the fibers of the fabric, even in 6" scale, that's not something you can say about Mezco.

No my man, I hate what 3A has become, but if there's one thing they have down, that's clothing, and Mezco isn't anywhere near their level.

 

[Mat-chow]

I think regular BvS Batman looks like a beast. Killer. I am kind of ready to cancel my BvS Superman preorder though. Which means I'll be looking to the eventual TDKR Superman for hope, that comic Superman is an easy pass for me. I'll never understand why they are making the decisions they are with the comic based figs.

On the other hand I feel like there's no way they will pass on some more artist specific/source accurate figures down the road. Some Alex Ross, NEAL ADAMS, hell just some first appearance figures. They have many options for the DC mainstays. I look at Space Ghost, Dredd, Frankenstein, TDKR, and I see perfect translations. I can't spend my very limited collecting $ on figures that in my eyes don't live up to that standard.

Also, you know damn well they will get to a Reeves Superman down the road.

I'm not getting Superman. Thier Batman looks great. I know the Batman suit is well done cuz it's the same suit used on the armored Batman....

You make an excellent point, it may be a better bet for me to wait until they do artists depictions instead of their own "interpretations".

I'm tired of everyone trying to "interpret" this stuff.

Holy wall of text, Batman. Let's just say we're not going to agree and leave it at that - although as a closing point, you honestly think the weird orange Ken doll head from the Mafex figure looks closer to Cavill than this?

I see no problem with this superman... Honestly but to each of thier own..

I think it's pretty astonishing for a six-inch figure, myself. If the final product comes out as well-painted and crisply-cast as their Star Trek figures it should be golden. Really like the suit too, it's pretty amazing how much they crammed into such a small space. Just wish I liked the movies more

 

[GasparZizou]

I thought it was unanimous that that Ray Liotta/Henry Cavill/Dumbo hybrid monstrosity looked like **** you people seriously don't see anything wrong with that? Seriously? alrighty then.

But yeah, even with the Trump tan, Mafex has way better likeness than whatever that is.
