Wow Mezco is trying to takeover the 6” figure market .so many reveals, tackling all these franchises :horror
 
Yeah I'm surprised how much they're spreading themselves out. Just gotta wonder though how many of these lines can they really support fully.
 
I ain't following this rabbit down that hole :rotfl:nana:
Plenty happy with the Classifieds.
However, Destro does look very good, and was a good starting figure.
 
I do Not have Faith in them with the Joe line.

Mezco are all about cost cutting for maximum Turn over per figure. Their die hard core would buy Literally ANYTHING they made and Defend it LOL

Their Netflix Punisher, John Wick, Hellboy 70s Supermans and so many others are All victims of Cost cutting. Be it Less articulation or doing the outfits properly.

Their weapons tend to be hit n miss or wrong scale. Look at the Mp5-K waaay to big.

My biggest worry however is a Figure by Mezco for the price compared to retail Hasbro. Mezco fans like to claim they are the "HOT Toys of 1/12th scale", so You expect a Much Better figure with that BOLD claim.
Let's Not forget Mezco have a tendency to make weapons holding figures with limited articulation. They cannot shoulder their weapons properly in firing stances. Either hip shooting best or chicken wing shooters. Wick and Netflix Punisher neither can hold Rfles properly.

Alas Plastic belts/webbing/Holsters/hats and berets are to be expected from Mezco. Plus To Be Brutally Honest. I Have No fith in Mezco getting a Camo pattern Accurate or to scale.

However with Destro it is just One of their Steroid limited articulation bodies, with a Lycra suit on. That is easy for them to do and claim doing a GREAT JOB.

I did these myself. Made the Camo material (Printed) and sewn clothing and made cloth belts/webbing/Leather baldric belt/vests and even cloth Beret for Falcon. Plus cloth printed insignia. I Do Not see a Brand like Mezco making Any attempt to do any of the figures justice.

I Do Not claim to be Better as this is fan made. I DO However claim to put more into the figure to capture their essence than Mezco.

I'm excited for this line, I hope it gets proper attention and lots of releases.

Glad they didn’t start this line off with one of their super limited exclusives. Ordered mine from Dorkside with free shipping.
 
I'm not getting into this line in depth but since Destro is my favorite character, I want to grab him.
Anyone know if Timewalker will get these? They're not on their website yet and since they're in driving distance, I'd rather order from them.
