Mezco WOLVERINE Marvel

[@jcam320]

I am a die hard Mezco fan. I have this wolverine and i love it. I do agree with everything you said though 100%. I buy mezco figures but i know what I'm getting. this wolverine was probably my last Mezco for a while. they are getting too expensive for me to keep buying them. one thing i didn't like is there should have been like an additional neck that goes with the unmasked headsculpt. looks weird to me like you took your mask off but the neck is still yellow. idk of that's just me or if that even makes sense to anyone. anyway, great review as always

[@RichardAcevedo2814]

A diff neck for an unmasked look seems standard for like mafex figures so... You're definitely not wrong

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Yeah this line used to be my favourite but the infinite delays has really turned me off. Think I'm gonna stop for now and go with Mafex for my comic figures.

[@TheZombiemofo]

this is gonna be my only Mezco figure if I can get hold of one. I can see what Anthony is saying about the issues, but i'm still interested in picking this guy up. I've been looking for a decent(ish) high end Wolverine figure for some time and would easily take this one over the Mafex one with the weird bendy rickets legs as after Ant's review of that one it was all i could see on the figure.

[@RichardAcevedo2814]

@@TheZombiemofo lol yeah the mafex has issues too. I think the amazing Yamaguchi revoltech is probably preferable in my opinion lol. He looks closer to his proper size next to legends figures. And I like the insane articulation

[@RichardAcevedo2814]

@@kingdomcomesuperman3669 lol mafex has been dealing with some delays too but I dont think they're as crazy as mezcos. Iron man comic version delayed, catwoman delayed, jean grey delayed, and on and on. I'm surprised the spider-man and venom reissues came out in a timely manner. still waiting on black suit spidey.

[@Aslan_Fulgore]

Mezco has some cool figures and all but there’s no height scaling at all between figures and I hate that, you know considering they put so much detail into everything else about the figures is a shame they don’t do it for their height.

[@RichardAcevedo2814]

I'm hoping that at least Doom and the ff are in scale. They look nuts to me. Well, especially doom

[@TenThirteen2014]

@@RichardAcevedo2814 so hype for doom as well

[@SuperDude1987]

Mezco does such a good job with sculpted plastic, I wish they would do that and no soft-goods. The detail in the gloves, boots, head, and belt is sooo good (ignoring proportion issues), it really makes the fabric suit look like a bad Halloween costume, like they were taken from 2 completely different figures.

[@carrythespark]

I didn’t notice all the flaws until you pointed them out but I guess that’s why I watch your reviews. I have this thing in my pile of loot and have been contemplating canceling it but there’s just something about it that I really like. For as many problems as it does have though it photographs really well as per your photos at the end haha.

[@RaasiqShaikh98]

Yeah even with all the proportion issues, it still looks amazing posed

[@holyhe-bing1719]

If you already mezco then get it you'll love it

[@arthurchen6464]

Like others already said, it's one thing to notice the flaws, and another entirely to be able to enjoy the figure. If you can still enjoy the figure for your own reasons, and think you can gloss over most of the faults, no reason why you shouldn't get it still.

[@arthurchen6464]

@@FlipFlab It's up to consumers if they want to overpay for products. Other consumers can try to persuade them to do otherwise, but that's about it. At the end of the day, it's personal choice.

[@arthurchen6464]

@@FlipFlab Yeah, I get your frustration totally. It's the same with video games and how companies are nickel and diming consumers for what used to be basic parts of the game. It's tough because there will always be people with more money than sense, or worse, people without money and without sense, so companies have very little incentive to change. that's why competition is always good. When it comes to figures, I really wish licenses can be given to more companies with competing lines in the same scale/price range.

[@retroguy95]

[@ahhhkillit9290]

I'm glad that you reviewed a mezco.i was very curious on your opinion on them. I was a huge one 12 fan and I still do collect them but I cut down A TON on them. your gripes are valid honestly.a 5 may be a bit harsh but I get it. I personally have this figure and subjectively I do like it.

[@malignantool132]

I'm the same as you. I had around 75 at one time, now around 60. On some figures , they absolutely kill it . But when there's a design flaw , that flaw is amplified just like the price. I have no plans to pick this one up but I do have Mezcos Samurai Wolverine and love that one . I would like to have that 89 Batman I pre ordered 3 years ago.

[@rahmingfamilymafia]

This was a dope figure…….and the larger head to body ratio gives the illusion of being shorter on top of the fact it is a smaller body. But I’ve seen some awesome photos of this guy

[@steve-o-reno]

Ah, I agree with some of this. But, I still really enjoy this figure. This was actually my first Mezco purchase. I was never a fan of the proportions or fabric on most of their stuff. But, I caved when I saw this one. I thought this was done well and like that the joints are mostly hidden. I think the articulation is pretty decent and you can crank that ab crunch a good amount. I've had a lot of fun posing this guy up and I think when he's not just standing there, his head doesn't look all that big. I don't see it as a $155 dollar figure...I see it as a $155 dollar set. Is that still expensive? Yes. Knock 25 bucks off that. I'm still happy I picked him up though. I display him with my Figuarts Infinity War Hulk (with fabric pants now) and think they scale pretty well. This set is probably more like an 8/10 for me personally. Still love your reviews though man 👍

[@Choom89]

The base is cool, I dig all the extras Mezco puts in the box but I agree--most soft goods just don't scale well. Capes being the usual exception.

[@TheDrRandomness]

I mainly only like fabric if it's for capes. It looks more dynamic, feels premium and doesn't weigh the figure down like if it was plastic

[@georgemitri1171]

I love the fabric on their original figures. On other characters the wired cape is my prefered way for any caped characters.

[@limpx336]

The articulation for the shoulder is for the 1st appearance version

[@figheadsctg4206]

As a fan of your reviews I respect your opinion, but as a collector of mezco I do have to disagree when it comes to THIS figure. Being a mezco collector I am hard on the figures if I don’t like the look or the articulation I will sell it so I’m not thinking with a closed mind. This figure compared to the first release of tiger strip is way better in my opinion. To each his own. Not everyone is a fan of the cloth look, but for me as a photographer I love figures that give a realistic feel in photos. As you said for some who collect casually they may not enjoy it when it comes to the pose ability but that depends on the collector at the end of the day. Again I appreciate your honesty which is why I watch your reviews. Great job keep up the good work.

[@MrRawnch]

Same here and I agree with your assessment 100%. The strength of a Mezco is a realistic approximation of a character based on their drawn representation. I think Mezco has done something that is very difficult to pull off on a 1/12 that is usually seen in a Hoy Toys 12-inch figure. Mezco costumes are fantastic in photogenic light and don't stand out under a bright white sterile background. Behind a custom backdrop and good lighting and these are wonderful models to pose. I often appreciate the candor of the reviewer but I kinda feel like this was negative just for the heck of it. Other toy reviewers agree that this is an outstanding figure for the price point.

[@Ferjimenez1111]

I love this figure! It's simply amazing

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

I love mezco. They just have a certain charm to them.

[@limpx336]

Love this figure. I got it and I don't even collect mezco.

[@DM-tx5mn]

You hit the nail in the head. This is why I'm not really a fan of mezco, because most of the action figures look like cosplayers instead of super heroes, also since the cloth goods are overlays for the whole body(mostly), they tend to limit articulation.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

I haven't got a Mezco figure since 2020, and even then it was a relatively brief time I spent collecting them and I didn't get many. For me I stopped namely due to the price, but also because whilst I do like how they look I never pick them up or pose them, and that's due to a fear of straining or damaging the material. That's why I never plan on getting into Hot Toys, I imagine that like Mezco I feel like I'd spend more time concerned about how they'll hold up over time rather than just enjoying them for what they are.

[@corruptpixel8441]

I have some mezcos but I got tired of their bad articulation (abds and ankle) for some characters meanwhile their originals are super articulated, so I either get the mafex or marvel legends, when it comes to DC you are kinda screwed because the only close option is mafex and they are doing very limited characters

[@jerrytant9625]

[@craig8876]

I guess maybe I'm just not as observant as the rest of you, but this Mezco Wolverine is hands-down my best Wolverine figure. I can't stand Legends and their hideous joints, the AY has bizarre proportions, and the MAFEX, while awesome, has those STUPID blue stripes for no reason. Best figure I've bought in a long time.

[@walenskycollin9639]

Older ones more so then newer ones. I play with vapor almost every day and the clothes are still intact

[@torrb420]

Yeah, some have an issue with their leather, some don't. The yellow Daredevil is notorious with it and why many custom makers ditched the original suit. None started to degrade bad and I keep them in a temperature controlled/humidity controlled room with barely anything but the most neutral of poses. Needless to say all my Mezcos are all sitting in their boxes. Don't even display them anymore. They were all the rage years ago, but then I got kind of tired of them and stopped collecting. Got too expensive and all the more iconic versions of the figure was always locked into exclusives that became too hard to grab at retail. Fuck that.

[@Goodberry]

Awesome review! Gotta say, you definitely hid many of the aesthetic issues in your photos at the end. So, it can be done. You're right. If it were me, I'd say he needs to be shorter, arms a bit shorter and legs/ass thicker. That would've gone a LONG way.

[@brianng8350]

I definitely prefer cloth cape. But I do prefer cloth costume if done right.

[@belislemathieu2061]

Im very suprise to see you review a Mezco figure! Great review! :)

[@18pth]

As a mezco fan, I do agree with some points. Like, the figure definitely does not have Wolverine proportions. And I do their their ab and ankle articulation needs to be improved. But I think there’s also a lot to like about this figure. I think a 5/10 is a bit harsh. But to each their own. See if your friend will send you a mezco Batman (preferably their “supreme” or “sovereign” versions of Batman) or punisher figure. Those are typically done pretty well, and I’d be interested in hearing your opinion on them.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

The 5/10 is the result of the price being so high

[@corruptpixel8441]

the sovereign knight batman also has bad ankle and ab articulation tho, the vinyl in mine started to deform in the elbow joint and the cloth started to turn brown for some reason

[@browniejacobg8172]

The hinge on the shoulder pad is so you can give it that first appearance look

[@AnthonysCustoms]

But that's not what the first appearance looks like. So i guess that's nice but it's not exactly a success.

[@Corvidae10]

When I see figures like this from any line, I always compare it to the cheaper alternative. For $150 are you getting a proportionate increase in quality compared to a $20 Marvel Legend?

[@onetwelvewonders5480]

The missus has a few Mezco figures and the ones she has look incredible on a shelf together. To me they’re just not conducive to figure photography because the clothing pulls the joints around and adds friction and it’s not the most fun experience. They do feel very premium to handle though in my experience and the unboxing experience always feels like an event.

[@Victor-mc1sz]

Not defending the retail price, but didn't it include a diorama piece as well? I don't have this figure nor do I plan on getting it. I don't mind the cloth look as I already collect 1/6 scale figs. Most of my 1/6 scale collection are kit bashes with a few bought completed figs.

[@fortressmattimus3984]

I like sculpt, not fabric. It just makes figures look like dolls and you lose a lot of the sculpt and musculature. I'm cool with fabric if it's something like a cape or jacket. A lot of Mezco's look pretty nice (like the new Superman), but I can't get into the line because I can't get past the fabric look. Even with someone like Superman, it makes him look unflattering and unsuper. So less Superman and just Man.

I think the cloth just comes down to the type of collector people are. The cloths look good to cloth type collectors I guess. I agree with the head being too big too. I kinda disagree with the colorings and details for the stuff though. Mezco is known to “modernize” some figures and this is one of those they tried to modernize. Wish the belt didn’t have pouches. Not like he carries anything but motorcycle keys and cigars.

Yo guys my own version of question of the day: Does anyone actually want superhero figures that don't look like superheroes? Like you see a figure and say "oh, too much muscles, so unrealistic" Let me know cause I genuinely want to know

[@chewymew]

I can look past overly long arms, longer lower legs, even low shoulders sometimes, but something about oversized heads really bugs me. It has this unsettling look that really detracts from my enjoyment. Also at this price point, I would expect comparable articulation to Mafex.

[@XileH]

With all the flaws you gripped about!? The figure to me is the best Wolverine figure for the astonishing Wolverine look it works for me.. you kept sayin 150 worth but it comes with so much accessories you wasn’t paying 150 for one figure with minor accessories you was paying for that amount for the amazing looking stand it comes with and the accessories and effects with that fig. I’m speaking this at the time they just announced the new wolvy fig which is 85 for a fig with minor accessories! Which I’ll be gettin that one too lol

Funny… just picked up the most recent Uncanny version. Seems like they took some of your pointers.

[@Hilltopperpete]

The biggest question for any Mezco figure is this: “Is he wearing a sock?” Yes, Wolverine is wearing a sock. I immediately thought of a weekend warrior cosplaying in a cheap suit when I saw this- he saw the $100 costume and the $500 costume and picked the $100 one. If the rest of the suit was the same leatherette as the diaper or they used the same stylized patches and neoprene-like stretchy foam material as they do on Black Bolt or Magneto, maybe it would have worked better, but the proportions still would stink as Wolverine shouldn’t have love handles. I might pay $50 for this for the base, stand, and the clear effects, but I’d definitely still sell the figure or just give it away because it’s just ugly. There are so many figures being released these days that I wouldn’t even take for free because they’re just so poorly executed.

I don't like to rain on anyone's parade and I have a lot of Twitter mutuals and such who are in love with this figure (and Mezco in general) but I just can't get onboard. I hate this kind of clothing on superhero bodies. The texture just looks so off to me and I just honestly don't get the appeal. If you like it, great, it just looks all kinds of wrong to me. And I am with you on the proportions as that head, which is fine by itself, doesn't look like it belongs on that body. No shape, no definition, and if you're going to put 1:12 in your product's name you should definitely make sure it's true. This is not a 1:12 scale Wolverine, he's way too tall. I just get the impression that people get caught up in the price tag and somewhat exclusive nature of this line and that's what does it for them. There's a value there that's just created by the price and branding. Again, I'm not trying to make people hate this figure or Mezco or in general, but I just don't see the appeal. Thanks for the honest review.

I would not consider myself a "die-hard" fan as that term for me always comes with some sort of baggage but it's my main line of collecting. That said, I can't argue with anything that you said.

Great review Anthony, though I like "real" fabrics on figures. Mezco has gone downhill for years, and this Wolverine looks worst than their first exclusive Wolverine that was released years ago and had most of those issues. Only this time, there are even more issues. The head is too big, the body is too small, the blue color is unforgiveable at this point, it should be light blue, and the worst to me: the vinyl underpants. It just doesn't match the rest of the clothing and it's been the biggest flaw from the One:12 line for years. I can't even recall when they started this vinyl atrocity. Their best One:12 figure remains their first one: The dark knight returns. The clothes were perfect, the design & colors matched the comics, and the price was reasonable. There were some other great figs like Punisher, Deathstroke, and a few others, but I think it's gone downhill for like at least 4 years. Now it's way too overpriced, it's overdesigned/stylised with poor tastes, proportions aren't accurate, they add this vinyl horror everywhere, and the figures take forever to come out. I've given up on this line long ago, but at least your review was funny & accurate ; ) Mezco's biggest loss was Pierre Kalenzaga departure. He knew how to manage this line. Whoever is in charge now doesn't know what he's doing. Drives me crazy. They had a gold mine, people like me were passionate about the beginning of the line, and they've completely dropped the ball. This line is my biggest disappointment in this industry.

I wish you would’ve done a photoshop for this one, but good review. I got this figure and loved it, but you had great points.

[@danielkakish]

You should do a top 10 of 1-12 scale Wolverine figures

I love mezco ! But still great review ! harsh but true 😭🤣

[@bigboymarty]

The shoulder pads go up for when u display him as the first appearance. His shoulder pads sat higher in the comics

But they were also a different design

[@suhtangwong]

I would like to see Anthony Judge a mezco gomez fig. Mainly for articulation and range of motion, that would be awesome. Plus he don't have butterfly joints but arms move well, which I think Anthony likes.

this looks like wolvering after retirement after a years of non stop drinking

[@Blue_Splash89]

Glad I canceled my order of this guy and saved 155$ . Mezco is hit or miss for me as a collector . I’m not a big mezco guy personally. Also to mention I’ve seen a video of this wolverine soft good costume was stitched off centered lol!!!

When you buy a mezco, you would not expect some things like great articulations, marvel legends scale and a variety of figures. In the other hand, you would expect a lot of accesories, bad ass designs and of course, being expensive!.. This figure brings a lot of accesories, a bad ass sentinel piece, effects, a lot of hands and an incredible design.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

the line has 1:12 in the name and it's even bigger than ML which are already too big for that scale...

[@xODGx64x]

Seeing this now, the height and proportions being off is a common problem with mezco, its the whole reason why I buy mostly they're original characters compared to the licenced stuff. Some of their worst being Darkseid, Hulk, Variant Cable, most female figures ( bad proportions and articulation), and all suited figures not named Gomez or Skulls. They were originally made with detail, cloth goods, and articulation in mind; considering they advertise it on the box, but very few people are willing to critisize them for mistakes and just sheer laziness. I mean seriously, is it so hard to have decent articulation on all of these figures (taking muscle mass, proportioning and scale into account), considering your paying $90 to $200 for a "premium quality" product.

I tried to collect Mezco but a lot of their superhero figures just don't look right. They can't achieve the exaggerated musculature look of comic characters with cloth over a plastic body. Their non-superhero figures generally look pretty cool though.
