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 👍

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.
@MrRawnch2 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.

Have you not purchased a figure in premium packaging made from cardboard? Way nicer than a cookie tin.

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.

As for cloth, only for 1/6 scale. Bar none, Hot Toys and ThreeZero figures, look amazing but in neutral stance. For dynamic figures.....plastic sculpt all day.

Not a big fan of cloth stuff outside of maybe a wired cape that looks decent. I bought this set for the base and am selling the figure itself....sacrificed a bottle of lagavulin and a bottle of vodka but i see it as a fair trade for my liver. Last time i had a figure wearing cloth it was Marvel famous covers Storm...was pretty neat gave it to a cousin of mine for her birthday back in the late 90s.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
