Buying a $400 Mezco Mech Suit and this is what I got!

[@Valaverse]

What are your thoughts on this mech suit?

Looks cool as hell, but way overpriced for what you actually get with it. I've seen backyard joe builds a million times better on a fraction of that budget.

[@Ultramentsh]

$400? American? Not pesos? Whatever this is Bob. Don't do this. I'm sure you'll deliver better 😉👍

[@DayLenFemboyKing]

Sorry to see your disappointment, I'd feel the same. At least this has shown you what not to do should you pursue this sort of thing in your toy line. Blessings, good sir!

[@stevenboyd3756]

That mech suit is a collectors piece not a toy. Mezco doesn't make toys just like Mafex figures aren't toys. Valaverse figures are toys, like Joe Classified and Masterverse and McFarlane figs, all toys. Mezco isn't in competition with toy makers. That's why his items sell out on pre-order. Mezco has its own lane.

[@chriskovarik4720]

The Mezco mech suit , Gomez is a great item which is loaded with accessories and a stand which will facilitate the fig in a flight position. Being able to display my collection at multiple levels allows me to maximize limited shelf space. With taxes and shipping, the grand total was $648 Cdn. I purchased this in July 2024 . Today I bought one of the pink Valaverse brigade trooper for $49.99, before tax . With shipping and taxes it will cost me over $75. (And I can’t wait, your toy line is awesome). It is my opinion that the value of your product is on par with Mezco.

[@royal5922]

Honestly picking up a budget toy then modifying it and painting it seems way more fun than dropping 400 on a nice figure than you pose for 30 mins and then put it on a shelf. Its cool that you show off budget stuff thats great value for kids btw

[@liesureleeminis8268]

As a 35 year old dude, I'm buying that two mech set. Probably 2 of them and I'll repaint them, and the diorama pieces.

[@richardmiller1345]

Yep I’m thinking two chop shop six legged artillery

[@liesureleeminis8268]

@richardmiller1345 I was thinking that, and 3d printing extra parts, finding a way to make them more articulate, and repainting. Maybe throwing in some joes, and marauder gun runners. Think they're the right scale for that

[@ChudFu]

You should check out the JoyToy 1:18 scale mech suits like the Dark Source Xingtian or the Battle for the Stars North 09 Strike Attack Mecha. More than half the price, great range of motion. I know its a smaller scale, but great range to get inspiration.

[@ElementalWolf210]

I was thinking the same thing. JoyToy is expensive depending on the mech, but better than paying $400. And have unique designs.

[@bigmoneycollector5136]

Joy toy also gives figures and amazing paint apps. So I see them as definitely worth the price.

[@gogomulaney7317]

i do like some Joytoy mechs, their quality control is suspect though.

[@aliteralchad7128]

It’s like I’m living in crazy world watching this guy criticizing the minute elbow issue and saying if he played with the toy in pre production that never would have happened…… bro is this the same guy that released that vanguard with issues that where so annoying and easily fixed with like five minutes of play that he had to ship out a free piece to allow the guns to move.

[@spartancowboyz9779]

I can’t get over him complaining out the legs not extending out.. this mech suit does not look like the type to be doing that range of motion. This looks like a mech suit that is more tanky. He should’ve picked a different mech to buy for $400 and this practically of how the articulation would happen.

[@batforcegrump]

There's that and I felt like the figures could have used a little more seat room in the back.

[@PascoZach]

the elbow is definitely not a minute issue imo

[@squidracerX]

He says at 20 minutes that hes not perfect and that he has missed stuff, but that he probably wouldn't on a $400 piece. I think thats fair.

[@aliteralchad7128]

@ this video is just an excuse for him to make bad decisions on his next venture. If you failed so spectacularly like he did with the turret SUV from “rezvani” (more like whocarezi) then you should not be making a video criticizing another company’s minor mistakes.

[@steverino6954]

The limbs are too small for that huge cockpit. How can you punch something or grab something when the hand barely clears the front of the canopy?

[@99Vood99]

Agreed, this is more of a 'stylized' mech than one that's actually 'functional'.

[@ChelsealikesSupermodels]

That $30 mech suit set is a good deal. You get a lot for your money.

[@toymanoids]

I’m all about what that $30 package has to offer.

[@adamlindley3879]

Comparing prices in the toy community seems pretty senseless. It’s called supply and demand for a reason. Items speak to individual consumers differently and that is what makes this community fun. This isn’t really something you play with. Valaverse action figures are entirely different. This MECH is a display center piece that happens to have limited posing and display options. I’m not going to defend the $400 price, but if you have the means, get what you love!

[@Syrantking]

I think that's a good point. It's sort of like...should you do a $400 mech suit VS could you do a $400 mech suit? Will people buy from one brand what they would buy from another brand? For me, very few things I've seen from Valaverse really appeal to me visually. I wouldn't spend the money on a superior and cheaper Valaverse mech unless it did, even if it could do splits. But I wouldn't knock anyone who did!

[@oxhine]

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

It looks cool, but not $400 cool. To even approach the $400 price it would need to be at least three times as big for starters.

[@TheDidit]

Stop teasing us Boby. You know and we know that Mech suits are coming to the Action Force Universe and I cant fing wait. So if you want to send me a tester prototype suit to put through the paces Ill be more than happy and willing to do that for you 😂 but for real Mech Suits will be an awesome thing for Action Force. Im actually really happy you are being critical of this Suit it shows how much you care about this and we know that your Mech Suits is going to be Fing awesome

[@dandanny2036]

If anyone wants some cool mecha designs I recommend checking out 30 minute missions model kits. Yes it will require tools and building but cheap nippers are enough and this line is meant to be beginner friendly and quick builds.

[@omniriven9806]

Gimmicks that I love on action figures: Flip out panels with a gun or small vehicle Rotating stuff like a minigun barrel (simple) Spring loaded missile (old school, still love it) Flip on battle mask Storage panels for guns or mini figures Flip out sword or large knife

[@ucitymetalhead]

The members mark is Sam's club. I bought a slightly different version of the cheap mech and modded it to have better articulation and it is good for classified figures and maybe valaverse if you mod the interior.

[@alexbenedikt]

Mech-Suits can be so cool looking Design-wise! I would love to see a mix between IBO Gundam, MetalGearsolid Rex and pacific Rim...with a big Dragonslayer and a Huge Gatling Gun!

[@rez6541]

I understand your complaints here, but I really like it. It's not really $400 either you have to minus the cost of the figure. $400 for the complete package isn't terrible imo..

[@elpenguinofeo1072]

Started watching this earlier and then went into Dollar General, and they're selling the Member's Mark mechs individually with a figure and some accessories for 15 bucks under their own branding.

[@omniriven9806]

That's crazy, we don't get action figures like that in The Netherlands. We only have Chap Mei but they have cool military vehicles for a decent price. All my 3.75 inch GI Joe's are riding Chap Mei vehicles, if you want a GI Joe Tomcat you can shelve out 300 dollars, or get the Chap Mei one for 40 dollars in store right here in the city where I live in Holland. I aint getting the Hasbro one.

The two mech sets with a little bit of custom would be collector's items! XD And even if you put in the effort to customize them, I don't think you'd spend $400!!! And if you did spend that amount... It's two Mech Suits!!! O.O

[@Gnomenutz]

This mech suit is cool but not $400 cool. It is a great piece for Mezco and would be exactly what I would expect from Mezco. They are not toys in the same play style of Marvel Legends or GI Joe. If I had Mezco figures, I would be afraid to play with them. They would get an occasional pose on the shelf and be left alone. They look beautiful, come with tons of accessories, and soft goods that make them what they are. But would I let my kids play with them? Hell no! I would let them play with a $20-40 figure So this mech is not for people like me, at least not yet.

[@TMan978]

Bruh! As soon as he said he wasn't going to open that $30 set, I had to come down here and complain. I am way more interested in that than the Mexico which has already been reviewed.

[@OGDamnnation]

Depending on the type of mech suite the articulation isn't going to be there for something like the splits. The only issue is the wrist joint in the arm. The leg motion is a non issue and you're making it a bigger deal than it is.

[@OGDamnnation]

This mech type doesn't have a torso so it's not going to have leg motion. So if you want that type of motion you'll have to look at a gundam style mech suit.

[@markd9803]

Agree a Mech doesn’t need to be hyper-articulated. It’s mechanical, so it should be somewhat robotic. Can probably save some cost on articulation. I think the sculpt and overall look are more important.

[@OGDamnnation]

If he wants the articulation he'll have to go with a sit down cockpit mech instead of a stand up cockpit

[@LandofMert76]

A static suit that doesn't do anything? Ya know like grid iron flight pod attachments.

When it came out I saw it as a $200 - $230 mech suit and I really didn't think it was worth it...I was only interested in the Gomez figure because it looked like Mork...I even was going to buy it with a friend that only wanted the mech suit...Thankfully they came out with the Gomez Cadet without the Mech Suit...I had a little bit of remorse for. It buying it. And now I really want to thank you for doing this video! No more regret in my mind and heart! It really seema too much money for what it is. Again GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@skabcat242]

Hell Yeah!!! Exo Squad had really cool mechs.

[@DennisWoodyard-DragonflyEnt]

I'd definitely go for the first Mech set for bang for the buck. The Mezco mech doesn't seem worth the price. Also, it reminds me of the one in "Atlas" the Netflix film with Jennifer Lopez. (PS. I worked on ExoSquad, so it warms my heart to hear you mention it. Keep trying for the license) :)

[@mr.victorwicked8534]

All I know is, when I get the Action Force Mech in my hands, Gemini is piloting it. She never received a weapons expansion pack. Justice for Gemini! I hope the first AF Mech is designed to savage ground troops and maybe the Vanguard. The second Mech should be a response, built to take the first one out in a mech armor escalation theme.

[@anthonyramey7917]

To me the best comparison to look at, while not a mechsuit, is probably the large Transformers in the $200 range. Scorponok, Fortresses Maximus, Metroplex, ect. Not because of that price, but because of size, detail, and articulation. They have what you need, and are more likely larger than needed if anything. In place of the articulation, and parts for their transforming function, a cockpit seems like it would be a morebthan comparable trade-off design and production wise. And you could probably look at the Transformes a step down from those, like Jetfire for concepts for small mech suits.

[@NinjabillReviews]

Great vid. I think if you did make one, it could be modular, pieces or weapon pods can be taken on and off, have small arms storage that can be used for the pilots or others to equip. Or, it could be like the RX-78 Ground-type Gundam, it carries a weapons/storage backpack/booster, you could have something like that. You could incorporate small handholds/footholds on it back where one or two soldiers could hitch a ride hahaha.

[@starzcollector]

I wonder if the limited wrist articulation is intentional to insure that the sword stays upright. I would imagine it has a little weight to it, and would cause the hand to spin around once the joint gets broken in.

So I picked one up some 6 months after release for cost plus ship, and I was impressed. It’s definitely premium, with a few design flaws. While waiting for a deal on that piece I was gifted a transformers Titan class Ark in disrepair I modded into a mech and I picked up the not official dbz red belt robot as well, you might check those figures out as well as 3A in your quest.

If you don’t mind making a kit the Soskill B duck and Spa duck mech is great fun. It is scaled well for 3 3/4 with modifications as it has a Spartan interior and is designed for a plastic bath duck. It also doesn’t cost $400.

[@Leviathan0999]

When I look at the Mezco mech suit, it looks like the cabin wants to be angled back further -- like it was tilted forward for a better fit in the packaging. Would the hips let you rotate the cockpit back further without ruining the balance? Maybe angling the legs and knees for the center of gravity? It wouldn't address the limited articulation of the hips and wrist that bothered you, but I feel like the mech would look a bit cooler.

[@calvinriley3292]

I'm going to back you on the MEZCO stand issue. I own the Ghostbusters set from MEZCO and I got tired of them falling on my Christmas display ,had to 3D print some low profile flat bottom stands.

I waited two years for the shipping notification for my Mezco Dr. Doom, and then I waited another four months for it to actually ship. It's an incredible figure, but it's not worth that kind of wait. I'll probably never buy another Mezco figure for that reason.

[@timbrower6806]

I think mech suits as a extension of the human pilot. Movement should be as close as a human as possible and also i view them as heavy weapons platforms. Heavy gatling guns, such as .50 or 20mm. Rocket or missiles and automatic cannons also. Lights and sounds i can do without.

[@michaelsingenstrew9734]

Come on Bobby, Mech suits would be amazing in the Action force line!!!

[@andrewtaylor940]

The problem with lights and sounds for adult collectibles is we will try them on the day we unbox them. Then, because we display this stuff we will either pull the batteries, and lose them for 10+ years. Or we forget, leave the batteries in, and they will corrode before we ever use them again. And half this stuff uses batteries you need to special order from someplace. I just got the Mezco Theodore Sodcutter figure. He has light up eyes and a really cool Lantern. They use these teeny tiny batteries that I’ve never seen before. I’m sure they will last for 1 photo session.

Hey Bobby, yeah that Mezco suit doesn't do it for me. The canopy & cockpit are too big in proportion to the rest of the suit while I don't know how tough the canopy is I feel a round from a anti-material rifle would go right through it. A mech suit should be a bi-pedal tank with the driver been well protected from at least small arms fire. Rather then lights or sound or even a driver I'd sooner have something like equipment or some sort of repair frame to allow work to be done on the mech. Much like what you did with the Vanguard with the missile launcher or machine gun turret it would be cool if the action force mechs could be customized , so Trigger's mech would have a large rotary cannon while Eclipse's one would more like a large sniper auto cannon. Also if you haven't already checked it out have a look at the Joytoy 1/18 warhammer 40k Invicta battlesuit , I have one and it's pretty good.

At least you didn't get a broken one right out of the box...for $400. No sound and the canopy wouldn't close. The replacement that they sent me had all of the writing features, BUT it has fairly loose joints in some areas. The control sticks inside of the cockpit are so lose that they wobble when I move the damn thing!! The 1st one's were tight and nice. I like the mech. The range of articulation is fine with me. Just wish it was in perfect condition, especially for the money that I paid for it! The Gomez figure would be roughly $100-$120. That's the standard price. Especially with all of the accessories. So the mech would be $280-$300.

[@Williestyle-RobotechxMacross-x]

Bandai DX Chogokin _Macross_ are pretty solid and the one I have has held up to multiple transformations and some posing. There is now a new and smaller "compromise" you could make and not worry if it breaks - the MOSHOW Robo - Dou VF-1J (the Hikaru Ichijyo "custom" in Macross). While the MOSHOW Toys version is 1/60 scale, it has lots of paint details, some good use of metal in joints and the "feet" for durability, and sells for $170 or less at retail.

[@NWarty]
