My Least to Greatest Mezco Toyz of 2023

This is a review of my least to most favorite Mezco Toyz figures I received this calendar year. Tell me which Mezco figures you loved this year!

Great video and awesome collection for the year! I've never been the biggest fantastic 4 fan but for those who are its a great looking set! Strangely i had more issues with my man of steel superman than my 89 batman..go figure! Always liked the look of that gomez but unfortunately had to pass when it released as there were too many other figures to pay for at the time! Absolutely love the Freeze figure despite the limited articulation. I got the snyder cut boxset and its so frustrating because the flash figure is a great figure with a few simple mods which mezco could have done for us! Good luck building the channel and looking forward to more videos!

Thanks so much for the engagement! I love Mezco but I'm seeing more random QC issues than ever before. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Surprised about your Superman having more issues than 89 Batman!

[@batcavedave2535]

@TheCollectorCave Yeah unfortunately the cape ripped off one side straight out of the box and the blue fabric frayed quite badly. I managed to resew the cape but the suit was beyond repair so ended up purchasing a custom suit off ebay. I watched your Robin review and many others myself included had the same dye on the face issue. I own quite a few mezco figures and love them but as you say there have been a few issues lately...not sure if its maybe due to them rushing figures out after all the delays during covid. Won't stop me buying them unless it gets really bad though!🤣 The Batman 89 is frustrating to pose but I have kind of got used to it and I didn't have the cape issue as I was lucky enough to see a video with a tip on installing it without much hassle. My biggest issue with mezco is the horrendously bad female bodies, I have replaced most of mine with phicen tb league bodies and its so much better even though its quite awkward to do!

​@@batcavedave2535 I've never done custom work with my figures (too nervous lol). I'm hoping the QC issues get better. I had a few issues with my Gotham by Gaslight Batman as well. I'm wondering if they are using a new manufacturer, or as you said, kind of rushing to play catch up after COVID. At this point, Mezco is taking longer than Hot Toys to release figs. Hoping it resolves itself soon.

I really love your videos man ❤ keep going you inspire me to start up eventually I need to make videos too

[@TheCollectorCave]

Thank you! I'm new to this so I appreciate your support!

The Mezco Robin is the sleeper hit of the year figure for me. My gf got me Mezco Morbius for Xmas. I'm digging him more than I thought. Mezcos are hit or miss. That Flash figure is ugly and can't move. Makes no sense. Enjoy Doom. Dope figure even with limited articulation.

[@TheCollectorCave]

Yeah I'm loving the Robin more and more now! I'm hoping Mezco tightens up their QC issues. They've had quite a few lately, at least for me. I just got the notice today that Doom is finally shipping. I cannot wait!

89 Batman is probably my biggest disappointment of 2023, from the cape not draping, to some of the joints locking, and the rubber or silicone on the shoulder and behind the knee is slightly tearing on mine, at least it’s not noticeable especially since it’s hidden with the cape, but I’ve barely pose him so I don’t understand why it’s slightly tearing.

[@TheCollectorCave]

Ugh sorry to hear that. I've not posed mine since the day I got him. And now I'm afraid to!

[@one12perspective]

@@TheCollectorCave don’t get me wrong I still like the figure and it looks nice, but It’s just a little disappointing, it lacks in the functionality department.

[@TheCollectorCave]

​@@one12perspectiveYeah I agree. I'm still bummed out that it was somewhat of a disappointment. At this point I've come to terms with it and like it for what it is. I did the same thing with the Star Wars Prequels over time. 😁

[@AlfieTheBat]

Do you think you’ll get into mafex ?

[@TheCollectorCave]

I have a few and love them. I have Invincible Iron Man and both Boba Fetts. My problem is space. I don't have enough room to display everything!

[@TheRandomrandom97]

are u gonna pick up the ninja turtles set?

[@TheCollectorCave]

I missed out on that one and it's sold out everywhere! Are you getting it? It looks great!

[@Thinker0822]

@@TheCollectorCave I'm in the same boat bro but in BBTS, typically when pre-orders sell out with their Mezco One:12 Collective figures, they tend to have in stocks items once pre-orders are fulfilled, so just stay in the look out for their in stock, that's how I was able to snag Morbius One:12, good luck on obtaining the TMNT set! I'm waiting for the Mezco Power Rangers set too!

[@TheRandomrandom97]

@@TheCollectorCave I just preordered on maybang collectibles for $420 shipped. First Mezco figures I’ve ever bought :) then after I ordered those I bought a Batman beyond that is otw :)

[@TheCollectorCave]

Thanks for that! I'll be on the lookout on BBTS. Fingers crossed!

[@TheRandomrandom97]

yeah i think most places just said they had to stop taking in pre-orders mostly as precaution. us turtle fans are rabid lol@@TheCollectorCave

[@isitoppositeday6944]

Ezra Miller somehow ruined the Flash for me :( Also Aflek is not my Batman. Cavil as Superman works great tho.

[@TheCollectorCave]

Yeah the guy from the CW was a better choice for Flash imo. Affleck is fine but Keaton is my Batman. Really liked Cavill but I like Reeve better.
