MEZCO Toyz One:12 CHRISTOPHER REEVE SUPERMAN Movie 1978 Exclusive Figure Review and Size Comparison

[@jchesh7617]

Dude he looks phenomenal. I've always liked the Neca one but this crushes it. Very movie accurate. Don't know why it is getting hate. Guess Karens are just gonna Karen. Glad you got on the Mezco train. You can't have just one lol. I'm over 40 deep now and no regrets. Great review! I want a Zod now!

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Haha. I got that Popeye 2 pack from Mezco too that I still gotta review. So yea, here we go!! Lol. But ur right, the likeness is excellent on this one!

[@retroguy95]

great review can't wait to get mine 😁 don't know how people think theres no likeness they're insane 🙄 looks identical to Christopher Reeve!!

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

The likeness is prob the strongest attribute to this figure. The head sculpts are excellent.

[@maxthursday5203]

Great stuff from Mezco. This deserves its own shelf. Makes me want to watch Superman 1, 2.....and yes, even 3....lol

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Haha. Me too!!! Might be a good day for some binge watching!

[@rclayton88]

This looks great I have this ordered and just waiting for it to ship hopefully soon. Been stuck on processing since Monday 😫. But I also ordered the Mezco Keaton figure so hopefully that'll be shipping soon.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I need to checkout the Keaton figure also!

[@antoniodechavez4200]

I received mine yesterday. I don't necessarily collect MEZCO 1/12, but I do have a few. I had to get this, because it's Chris Reeve Superman. I'm still trying to compare it to NECA, and keep asking myself if it was worth the price. NECA does hold up pretty well in the sculpt department. This set does give us more accessories. First, the 3rd head sculpt was a surprise. Then there's the base, the extra hands, the Fortress of Solitude with the batteries and the light up features with the Crystals activating them. and the Kryptonite rock and necklace. If you have the budget, go for it. If not then the NECA is actually good enough for me. I have both now. I got too excited when it went up for preorder, and had no problems putting my order in, so I jumped the gun. I'm a Chris Reeve fan, so this stays in my collection.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Well said!

[@BrandonNielsen87]

I feel the same way. I'm a huge Reeve Superman fan, so I can look past all the little flaws here and there. It's killing me that they're still not shipping my Reeve Supes, yet. Still waiting.

[@antoniodechavez4200]

@@BrandonNielsen87 I hope that you get it soon. I was lucky that it was a non-working holiday when fedex delivered mine, because the lady who handed it to me asked for a signature. I just stayed home waiting for it. It was also delayed for one day. Mezco printed the label on the 10th and was scheduled to be delivered on the 11th. Fedex picked it up on the 11th and rescheduled the delivery date to the 12th. Although I have both NECA and MEZCO already, I won't be opposed to other lines like MAFEX and SH figuarts from taking a crack at our Man of Steel. Heck, maybe Todd McFarlane might feel like making one in the future.

[@willrayne920]

This is one of those rare cases where the finished product outshines the prototype. From the promo images, I was concerned he was gonna be too bulky, but this looks so good! Mine arrives Tuesday, and so much more stoked after your review. Thanks for that!

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

He def is not as bulky as he looked in the promos!!!

[@danielGarcia-hy7yc]

Thanks for a Great review

[@EdGonzalez1970]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO BUY ONE OF THESE. BUT AFTER WATCHING THIS AND SEEING THAT IT COMES WITH THAT LITTLE DIO PIECE? I'D NEVER GET BE ABLE TO GET ANOTHER ONE IF IT EVER BROKE. I'D NEVER GET IT AT THIS LOW OF A PRICE AGAIN!! CONGRATULATIONS AND OBTAINING SUCH A NICE, NICE FIGURE!!!!.

[@5x106]

Great review

[@shindanrod]

The smiling face is like right out of the comics from Gary Frank run, and I love it.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Good point!

@@ManCaveCollectibleReviews Gary Frank I mean, secret Origins... That is right out of the page.

[@raymondaudelo9716]

I’m waiting to receive mine . It looks pretty cool.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I think it’s solid!! I’m def happy with the purchase. Not a perfect figure but def a very good one.

[@zacjacdan]

This review is killing it. Nice

[@kieronball8962]

Great review video, of a very impressive MEZCO Christopher Reeves Superman figure. Unfortunately, the figure does have some problems, from the obvious ball joints, to the length of the cape, but as a display piece, it would still look incredible.

[@bhamacuk]

I got mine today and feel blessed. It was sold out but the seller had some cancellations lol. I have the Reeve neca, but this figure has amazing articulation and that base, hot damn.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

The base def adds a ton of value to this figure!

[@skyounkin]

Literally just opened mine and was like... "Why do I have a can?? Did I get the wrong order...?" XD Great review! Very happy w/ mine!

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Haha. Yes, the can was shocking but a neat change from the traditional box!! Def ads some value to the purchase!!

[@thebadassreviews02]

Awesome review brother

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Thx!

[@J0r-El]

...OH THAT LOOK GOOD!

[@kennedy6587]

I would’ve preferred a worried/confused look face for wearing the kryptonite necklace or a slightly angry face or even a super breath face with a super breath effect

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Not bad ideas at all.

[@jacklaird28]

That's a really cool intro

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Thx!

[@BB-ed4om]

Love the head sculpt, cape and articulation. This is definitive IMO

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

It’s solid for sure!!

[@stuartfoster8866]

Man i can't wait for mine to come in. Gorgeous presentation.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I def don’t believe it will let u down.

[@yoochube36]

Best review i've seen👌

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Thank you!!

[@kendallwg3615]

Looks terrific, I’m glad I ordered it.

[@SwordGrayskull]

Thanks for the great review. A lot of people doing reviews and photos with their iPhones are making the head sculpt look terrible, but it looks great here. I agree about the ugly thigh cut; considering DC Universe Classics and Marvel Legends both have better looking articulation in that area, it's shocking that a $125 figure doesn't have a thigh cut more like those lines.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I def feel like the head scans are excellent!!

[@figurereveiws4118]

Im so glad i passed on it!! Ik.very pleased with my mafex its godlike...i do love the accesories and head sculpt for mezcos though

[@BB-ed4om]

Not even comparable...

[@mujone]

I gotta get this fig brother! Big fan

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I think Mezco has a wait list but check big bad toy store! They may still have up for preorder!

[@thomasgoree7976]

He should go well next to the neca 89 Batman

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Totally agree!!! I’m on that Batman wait list!!!

[@officespace7777]

I ordered mine on ebay last night. Been waiting for this figure. I don't know if this is the definitive Christopher Reeves Superman. But it's really close.🦸

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I’m with ya. I can’t commit to “the definitive” but it def suits my needs for my fav Superman actor.

[@officespace7777]

I would say the top three are 1) hot toys 2) neca 3 mezco.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I would say that’s very fair!! Hard to ever beat Hot Toys in anything they do!! Lol.

[@foresakorthecollector9135]

Great review. Ready to have mine. Still just saying processing. What seems to be hit or miss for me is the collar of his suit. Some are stitched real bad to where it looks baggy and some are stitched fine. The part at the thighs is a little rough, but hopefully I can look past it. It’s Reeve so he will not be leaving the collection. Hope you are able to snag a Keaton when they come out. He was an exclusive last January(been waiting over a year on him)like Reeve was.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Agree with all above!! I am on a “wait list” with Mezco for the Keaton. Hoping to get one!!

[@jeezychreezy1]

I’m impressed. Didn’t know this was out. Soft goods might make a good doomsday fight damage custom. Even though reeves never fought doomsday. Maybe we can get a nuclear man mezco 🙏

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Yea man!! It literally just dropped this week. I don’t think most online retailers have even started shipping!

[@DuhBeyonder]

Well Michael Keaton is only 5'9 and Christopher Reeves was like 6'3 6'4 so id say the figures are in scale lol Only thing that really bothers me is the cape.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Haha. Well when u put it that way, the Mezco and SH is scaled about right. Lol.

[@CustomComics]

Nice bro.

[@miragexl007]

Surprised...Finding this CAN in the box. and An 2 Xtra heads. Interesting. Cool at first glance but.....Not sure what I think of the whole thing yet. the FAces are Not that good!!!. My little crp figure and box is Black.

[@albertoemilioarriagada7339]

donde lo encuentro...aliexpress??

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Lo compré en el sitio web de mezco.

[@kennedy6587]

Mezco is releasing its own Batman ‘89 so you can have an even height lol

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I know. I’m on the wait list for it but not looking good. Lol. Hopefully they have extra stock.

[@thefont9]

Was prepared to not like this fig but outside of the thigh swivel it looks dynamite. Think I’m going to have to get that Mezco Keaton Batman now. Damn it Mezco.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

Haha. Yes! And when he’s posed on the fortress dio, u can’t see the thighs. Lol. So that helps too.

[@MartyMcFly3]

I'm not a fan of that cut in his thighs either. The cape is also riding up too high around his neck. Overall, I'm pretty happy as Mezco aren't famous for great headsculpts. Have you got the Mezco 89 Keaton on pre-order to pair up with Superman??

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

No, I actually must have missed the Keaton Mezco!!! I’ll go find em now and preorder!!

[@JBTMR]

Not worth it because it’s an exclusive just like the Keaton Batman it’s first come first served so anyone that try’s to get this after those people won’t because you will not be able to purchase him normally just like Keaton Batman which is a damn shame

[@BobTheHappiestguy]

damn that SH Figuarts Batman looks really really bad.

[@619kane]

TRUNKS TO BIG , SLEEVES TO LOOSE , CAPE TO SHORT ,, I GUESS IM GOING TO SELL MINE ONCE IT ARRIVES .LOOKS LIKE A CUSTOM I SEE ON EBAY .ONLY GOOD THING IS THE EXTRAS .MEZCO LET ME DOWN ON THIS ONE .

[@samuelquisemo9969]

Lol

[@brenthuebner483]

Christopher Reeve not Reeves

[@ramram-arg]

He looks a bit skinny in my opinion, they should've used a different body and the legs look bad as well. That's just my opinion. They could've done a much better job.

[@GuyWebz]

I think Neca’s has a better likeness to Christopher Reeve

[@timothyrobinson2387]

Nah.....not liking this figure. Cape is too short. It should be at the top of his boots in the back. Way too short. The S is waaay too big on the cape in the back. An it's too high on his shoulders. It was not on the back of his neck in the movie. The light up base an crystals is cool though.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

I’m in 100% agreement on the cape issues. There’s a couple other issues as well but the cape being a tad bit longer coulda done wonders for the overall look. The good news is, when posed behind the Fortress dio, it hides some of the issues. Lol.

[@timothyrobinson2387]

@@ManCaveCollectibleReviews Do you think that base will work with the Neca figure? I'm wondering.

[@ManCaveCollectibleReviews]

@@timothyrobinson2387 I def think so. Neca is 7” scale so I believe it would work just fine!

figure disappointment spending so much on that figure with a resemblance to Reeve very poor for that I buy a crazy toys figure I change his head and put Reeve's and I have a more decent figure

[@thesolidchef30]

Been a mezco collector for years, and let me say this figure is straight garbage. Mezco just can't do movie accurate figures, word of advice stick 2 mezco interpretation type style figures. I wish I could told of you, by knowing you. Avoid these type figures from them, and now I'm wondering if Keaton batman will be accurate 🤔.
