I would like to see Mezco take another crack at Shazam. It was definitely a standout upon initial release, but a good amount of time has passed by and Mezco has moved towards more comic accurate figures; I would be all in on a CC Beck Shazam. Also would instant-buy a Mac Raboy Captain Marvel Jr.
@ZenReviewZ8 сағат бұрын
I think the C. C. Beck Ver. is their take on Shazam. It's highly unlikely they'll take another shot with it. They're doing another take Captain America, but a different one. The captain Marvel Jr. Ver. is not impossible, they have the body buck and the Batman that matches and if they'll do a Jerry Siegel Superman which needs to sell out, chances are they'll take a shot with others like WW, GL and even Captain Marvel. It's all about sales I guess.

That mezco unmasked head doesn’t look like chadwick
@ZenReviewZ8 сағат бұрын
In hand it's much better. Also, the Mezco Ver. Is the Chadwick from winter soldier. In winter soldier he was more buffed. I'm not defending Mezco or anything but for a 5 years old figure it's holding pretty good in terms of accuracy. Figures have evolved a lot in the past year, like really a lot. Check out the new inart DKR 1/12 figures that are coming, they're insane.

Decent Hush version & one of the better looking villains in the line imo (although not close to Scarecrow who easily gets the title). From what I recall from the comics Hush Riddler was sorta menacing looking so wouldda been nice to get an angry/fighting expression face (as this guy looks a bit too nice imo) & some more accessories. The lineup is looking better some with these last 2 villain adds imo. Thanks for the post as always interesting☮

I'm wondering in the Hush comics...did Scarecrow not utilize a scythe, a test tube, or a capsule of fear toxin? It's hard to find the answer to something like this on the internet, and I definitely don't have a copy of the story, so who knows. Looks like I'll be giving them one of my BTAS Scarecrow scythes to hold, oh wait, they don't even include gripping hands to hold anything 🤦🏼♂️. Regardless, mine should be here in a day, 'cause no way was I missing out on this absolute gorgeous incarnation of the character. The design is magnifiqué! *Had to ask ChatGPT If Scarecrow used anything in the storyline, and it does say they wielded a scythe, and released the fear toxin in a gas canister and darts. So would've been mighty nice to have gotten several gripping hands and those accessories. Factoring in the higher than normal price, it would've elevated this release from a 5 to a 10.
