    You either like Mezco Toyz figures for their scale and proportions or not. I grew up in the 80s where proportions of figures were NOT proper scale, they are toys. so its more about appreciating the action figure and its cloth goods. Other lines like Mafex does a better job as far as proportion and i like both. but if you're looking for Hot Toys type figures in 1:12 scale with the same proportions, then folks would be disappointed. in my opinion, Mezco is like Hot Toys mashed up with Mego figures.

    @scolioreset 5 місяців тому

    37:39 Correction: he uses both grapples to take out the first few Riddler fanatics when entering the Plaza. So he did need the left option. Also, I see the neck articulation and I’m dumbfounded that the one Batman that has the most neck since Christian Bale in 2008 can barely hold a direction naturally.
    The one reason that makes Mezco redundant to me is that they go for a full costume with the exoskeleton inside. At this point, I would save even more money and wait for the authentic Hot Toys, stick to a pose, close the acrylic display and never touch it again. But as an action figure casual enthusiast, the articulations are why we should be enjoying the hobby.
    The one saving grace for me regarding is the neutral helmeted portrait. When hunched down looking forward, I could really see THE Batman and that alone can do a major difference for photography and authenticity. Even characters with full helmet like Darth Vader or Samus Aran… The personality comes from the movement of the head and how it pivots or inclines in diagonals.

    Mezco is a company that is hard to recommend due to the fabrics and limited articulation. I do not think they are "expensive" considering the accessories and detailing. But still, it is definitely an acquiared taste. I have the Mezco turtles, Robin, Supreme Knight Batman, and classic Spidey and I really like them. There is a charm to them, at least for me.

    Nice reviews 👍 Mezco is still the only line I have not gotten into yet. I only have a few figures because I'm just not a fan of how they execute the soft goods. Maybe it's the bunching and bulk of them on such a short figure, but it's just not done very well, imo. They are ok with detail of the costumes like the belt on this figure, for example. And I bet I would love this line if they could only execute the clothing better. They do articulation fine, detail is fine, but it's just not for me. And I enjoy hot toys figures, but I think it's because the scale is more conducive for using a soft goods. Thank you

    I feel Mezco too did a good job, accurate color of suit, good accessories, but that's something beyond my budget. Mafex is good too as an option, build quality at that price tag is debatable.

    I think Mezco is overall miss over hit. What often kills me from purchasing every release is the insistent use of pleather and vinyl on the figs. Makes it more difficult for poseability and longevity. I do have Batman Ascending Knight and Harvey Two-Face since they're mostly fabric and both were discounted. He's stupid expensive but I'd love to get their Joker one day.

      I got the mafex due to avoid loosing out if it went out of stock and then paying scalper prices. Plus mezco took a looong time to release. Love mezco and batman, but this is the weakest of all of them in the Batman line. Maybe it will grow on me, but my first thoughts was to resell this. Maybe down the line I guess. But glad I got the mafex version is the best scale with other figures. SHF is cool but really scales small.

    Congratulations on your first Mezco! I wish it was a better one unfortunately. But from watching your review, seems like you’re getting something outta him, which is cool.
    I agree, the Mafex is indeed the better one. And I believe it will be the definitive one, even once the Fondjoy releases. Especially in terms of scaling.
    Mezco has some updates to do in terms of the materials and bucks they continue to use on their figures. One could use the term they’re not what they used to be, but they’re exactly the same. Which makes their collection of figures look like a modern collection of MEGOs displayed, next to a collection of Beanie Babies. Versus the other companies who switch up bucks, molds, and accessories.
    Mezco had the potential to be the 1/12th version of Hot Toys, but to be honest I believe Mafex has surpassed the good ole One:12 Collective in that.
    We’ll see what the Fondjoy looks like, but once again its scaling is off for my liking.

    As an avid Mezco collector I have to say that you don’t get into Hot toys or mezco for posability, they are gorgeous figures to display and play with take pictures etc… but definitely no one gets into mezco for posing figures…
    The neck you can fix it by pulling the head out a bit and it will look 100 times better.
    Soft goods figures are not for everybody, that’s why they are a niche market.
    People who are into mezco already know what to expect, and most of us can go back to only plastic figures, I make and sell dioramas and I have to take pictures of both soft goods and only plastic figures and clothed figures look 1000 times better on pictures.
    But I do understand that it all up to preference

Mezco neck issue is an easy cosmetic fix as noted all over UA-cam fyi. The Mezco EASILY wins in the looks dep't & accessories too imo. Your nitpicking of the volume of Mezco accessories & perceived flaws of a number of those otherwise along with somehow rating the McFarlane over the Mezco are real head scratchers imo. Mezco gets a dominating W here imo.

      @@eldritchpumpkinghost2968 I honestly don’t like classing a comic character as good because of their accuracy because of the amount of interpretations their are to pull from as source material. Well as long as the characters general identity and morals are in place such as Batmans non kill rule as superman’s embodiment of hope.
      But I do agree with everything else. Though the movie may have not met my expectations which were probably a bit to high to begin with, Pattinson very quickly became my favourite live action batman. He fully embodied the character rather than just playing it in a way that can even be seen in still pictures. He was able show emotion simply through his eyes and subtle mannerisms which is commendable through the suit
