One:12 Collective Batman Ascending Knight Mezco Toy Fair Exclusive

I was lucky enough to get the exclusive Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Ascending Knight Batman at Toy Fair. I sat on it for a bit, deciding if I wanted the toy or if I wanted to sell it, then realized I'd much rather have the cool action figure. Totally worth it. Completely and utterly worth it.

[@jerretzwicker599]

Robo's unintended comedy hour - "It's grown on me as I've played with it"...points at Batman's crotch - "There's some sort of magic going on down there".

[@TheFwoosh]

Hey, what can I say, I'm a crotchy kind of guy, even subconsciously.

[@Nic_03_21]

20 years later, it’s a one million dollar product.

[@PDiddyA]

Ha! Here you are with a $12,000 figure and you’re just ripping it’s head off like it’s nothing lol I can’t believe people are asking that much? Is anyone paying it? I’m kinda proud of you dude this video is a good example of a true collector, I get agro all the time from friends saying I should leave figures in the box blah blah but they are made to be enjoyed and messed around with, good on you sir

[@SethMacMillan]

If the price is that high, it's pretty safe to assume someone's paid about that much already. Speaking from a collector's standpoint too, whoever did deserves some praise for their passion. If they opened it too, even more so! I'm with you, I don't see "action figure" as being equivalent to "stare at in box".

[@Pandapeep]

A quick glance at Ebay shows it's $800-1000. And man, I'd sell that in a heart beat. You can buy lots of other batman figs for a grand.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, but none of those other Batman figs would be this one. Unless you sold it for that much and then bought it again for that much, but that's just a weird way of doing it.

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man. Yeah, I have a weird tick when I see something shoot up in price. Like I said in the video, it makes me hesitate but really, I could never sell my toys. It's why I still have Filmation He-Man and some ThunderCats still in the box, along with losing interest as I was getting them. But someday I'll feel that MOTUC urge, or someone will (hopefully) finish that TCats set and I'll be ramped up and ready to open them then, and I won't be all "Shit, I shouldn't have sold those, I want them bad now."

[@jannorman2091]

Pandapeep I just bought the black with gold for under $200. The only differences are the belt color (it's removable) and the accessory colors (black and gold). Makes no sense to pay $800 for a black belt and black accessories.

[@damianmai6126]

Please make a video of you going over that book

[@wIzKid16100]

Mai Thuận I second this

[@elilazaro6155]

I...third this.

[@begshskesm2927]

Mai Thuận I fourth this.

[@theguardian3431]

Legend has it, Robo unwittingly killed 23 mint in box collectors with that intro.

[@TheFwoosh]

I did my time as a carded collector, about 20 years ago. Reformed, haha.

[@XXTROB]

Loved the intro haha!! I did the same thing with mezco nightmare batman and I look at all my punishes and think "I could buy car parts if I sold these" but then I'd be sad they were gone. The cape wire monstrosity is such a bad idea, I can't stand them. I'd enjoy seeing you go through the one 12 catalogue

[@darrensmith8970]

Open that shit that's right we play with our toys

[@TheFwoosh]

::fistbump::

[@elbarno7124]

Saw the notification thought the normal release was out,mine has been o pre order for more than 1-2 months lol

[@PlastiAdicto]

shubiru hahahu only 1-2 months? That’s nothing

[@elbarno7124]

@Plasti Adicto wow u saw my coment,I Love ur ig acc

[@PlastiAdicto]

shubiru hahahu hahaha thanks buddy! If you’re a Fwoosh fan, you’re ok ok my books!

[@leaveit25]

Yes please I'm interested in the catalog video! Hopefully you upload it soon!

[@mickeyperdomo1324]

According to Mezco the Bat Brick is supposed to be a heavy duty Batarang. I don't know what or where they came up with it because it's dumb and could easily have been replaced with a different accessory. But hell he's a great looking Batman!

[@mikemaffeo7758]

I would LOVE a video of you going through that catalog

[@tylerjamesreviews5011]

Great figure Robo! Seeing what's inside of that book would be cool. Although I'm not to familiar with Mezco and their products this one sure does look nice. Love the Black on Black look! Like always keep up the great work.

[@thebigjisback1218]

Only been able to get my hands on deadpool and that was £100+

[@CouchCit]

Love the pics at the end man!! Great work as usual

[@azozazoz2131]

Both Mezco Toyz's original suit redesign and the Ascending Knight version look very sick!

[@grimes558]

That intro is just another reason on my list, to why I love this channel.

[@cdogcdog4814]

Awesome figure & review Robo. Nice score @ Toyfair, for what sounded like, a gift? And "what the hell" is right $1,000-$6,000 dollars WITH bids!! Thas just outrageous! I could of swore BBTS had preorders for the newer much cooler looking Joker already but no. & speaking of Deathstroke, my Mezco 2nd deco version, actually just arrived in stock this morning.

[@TheFwoosh]

I think I'm gravitating towards that PX Deathstroke, reminds me of the old cartoon Teen Titans Slade. Plus I seem to have this black costume theme going...

[@SuperLegolover23]

Just came from the Batman sovereign knight video and realized I hadn’t watched this one!

[@JoseRodriguezJr84]

Great video. They should just release this version for people that want it, but I think the other version are just as good.

[@Mannie_Bothans]

I thought it was the hype/rareness of this that was making me want it so bad, but nope. It looks like a SOLID figure that delivers on the hype. Awesome review. Those cape things at the end had me dying. 😄

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, yeah, I could never finish a Rubiks Cube either. I'm just not made that way. But yeah, this figure really surprised me, and as much as I love it, I'm looking forward to the standard even more. I'm a contrast kinda guy and the grey looks awesome.

[@madtitanthanos7898]

Robo: This may be my favorite one 12th collective figure. Popeye: Hold my beer.

[@Novapoid]

I loved the intro. It was both funny and kinda philosophical in a way: you only live once and you wanted to open that damn box and just enjoy the figure and nothing was gonna stop you xD. The figure is really striking, Mezco is indeed probably the only western company that can compete with imports imo. A lot of their releases feel kinda samey to me (because of using the same body multiple times) but this Batman is something else. I hope they continue to release DC characters outside of Batman's lore...though a Red Hood would probably turn out amazing.

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh man, yeah, Red Hood would be bought so fast...

[@kurosgaming2329]

the bat brick is basically the bat paddle. its used to subdue cat woman poison ivy and harley quinn.

[@TheFwoosh]

I think I've seen that in a video!

[@kurosgaming2329]

mm hm i bet you have XD

[@SpoonDude]

First thought that this all black design was a cheap way to get another variant out, but looking at it I like thinking of it like the comic version of the Batman Begins suit. This works even better with the first appearance ears and generally younger Batman motif And I would like to see that catalog vid

[@crackusgold]

great review! still waiting for your mezco spidey review though

[@TheFwoosh]

I didn't get a Mezco Spidey. I guess because I have so many that I do like. With Batman I feel like I never got one that really tickled my fancy.

[@gmoney1664]

Ooo, this looks good. I'm not jumping down the rabbit hole just yet, but it makes me look forward to the Netflix daredevil and punisher even more! Yep would watch a video on the catalogue, as I've not got a clue what else they've got lined up

[@gmoney1664]

Separate review idea, those cape holder things, as I can see you rage quitting halfway through 😂😂

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, you just like to see me suffer!

[@AntonymicallyCorrect]

Robo if you ever did end up getting that regular release Ascending Knight, I'd love to see a review, it's my favorite Batman figure bar none

[@TheFwoosh]

I think I got the regular but never opened it, I love this one too much. I need to have a Mezco opening party sometime. Too many sitting.

[@THE_PATMAN_87]

I wonder if you could swap the onyx longer ears and the battle damaged head with the exposed eye onto this guys body? sweet review man!

[@1andonlyhoncho]

Kudos for opening this. Awesome

[@TheFwoosh]

Some things just have to be done. Totally worth it.

[@ThatWrestlingHound]

That mezco DCU flash looked pretty nice

[@SheydokGear]

Even if you open that, the piece is going to be crazy-high price wise, the SHF SDCC exclusives prove my point, those things can be opened that they are CRAZY EXPENSIVE

[@someguy7567]

I would enjoy a video looking through the Mezco 1:12 catalogue. Unless it is just pictures we’ve seen before.

[@TheFwoosh]

Naw, half of it is new or updated stuff.

[@Magikknight76]

Holy Shit!!! He did it!!! Excellent review and a great figure. BTW if you ever decide to trade this I want first dibs...

[@soconscious]

Can’t wait for mine.

[@GerrySantiago1982]

I seriously can’t believe how much it was going for on eBay and now one year later I just picked up this figure for under 200 bucks :D

[@GetsugaTensho17]

This looks really good, makes me want more batman figures

[@TheFwoosh]

Same here.

[@jimmywong2059]

LOL! I have the same struggle. Damned if you didn't get them at PO, and be damned when you got it and the price sky-rocketed.

[@pauloxford468]

The bat brick is supposed to be used for him to slide down wires between buildings or whatever. . He holds each end (with the brick over the wire) and slides across or down.

[@TheFwoosh]

That makes sense. But damn, why "brick" and why so mysterious.

[@pauloxford468]

The Fwoosh cause he’s Batman!

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, you know what, that's a totally acceptable answer.

[@JasonLee-kq4nf]

That’s how mezco is you get one sick batman and now you want more 😂😂 i really hope we get a nightwing red hood a mr freeze and deadshot would be awesome I just don’t care for the price and cloth material for the suit it makes it harder for me to play with my mezco figures when I’m recreating Scenes and making new ones I’m scared they will break

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh man, and Red Hood and Deadshot would be amazing. Now I need them.

[@DemetedP]

The Bat Brick was originally listed as an oversized batarang. Hilariously, I guess the "brick" part is almost as literal as it sounds in terms of function.

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, love it.

[@dtorrey867]

As much as I didn't want to like 1:12 scale clothed figures, the Wolverine and Deadpool I have are pretty fantastic. Though I think I'll skip most of them. Keep it to the X-MEN.

[@MichaelMcKumboo]

A catalog video would be great

[@cmbrock1]

I want it but not thousands of dollars want it. My God!!

[@Ocram_sokart]

I don’t care how much the figure is. I’m opening it.

[@ahaha_batthew]

Marco did you get it?

[@Acohoe1]

YES PLEASE GO THROUGH THE MEZCO CATALOG!!!!!!!

[@rodrigo8269]

Best intro I've ever seen

[@XuntosIzor]

Damn, should have pre-ordered this guy when I had the chance. I was considering it

[@ephin3242]

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the bat brick is for?

[@jrex9199]

Thats one badass Batsie!🤘

[@zonghengli8155]

I love your review. Where did you get this all black version batman?

[@TheFwoosh]

It was at the Mezco booth at Toy Fair.

[@RaulMarin-vg3bu]

Please make a video on the book!! There were a few reveals at Toy Fair where they didn't show accessories for the figures like the new John Wick and Punisher, so if you could make a detailed video covering the book that would be great!

[@TheFwoosh]

Awesome, I'll get it finished up and just make it a Mezco kind of week, haha.

[@RaulMarin-vg3bu]

The Fwoosh Cool! Thanks Robo!

[@anafternoonwalk]

I Preorder the PX Exclusive, which has a Blue cowl and cape.

[@TheFwoosh]

That one is kind of calling my name now too...

[@anafternoonwalk]

Yea, I like the more Silver age colors.

[@joehume3624]

Can't go wrong with Deathstroke man. It's one of the very best Mezco One:12 up there with the Punisher and their very first TDKR figure (which had flaws but hey, damn impressive for a first figure)

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I'm thinking I may want to try to grab the PX version, reminds me of the old Teen Titans cartoon Slade.

[@chargers24ag]

Does anybody know when the regular ascending knight batman releases

[@theleftisttimemachine8196]

Best intro ever!!

[@nemass26]

This would look really nice with a2 seater batmobile specifically for mezco

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I know how that goes. I collect mostly anime figures, and there's a character that I want that is supposedly rare that's $900-$2000 on e Bay. Nyuu/Lucy from Elfen Lead.

[@tuffweems3391]

I just got my first mezco which is the sovereign knight Batman and I love it I own the mafex Batman hush figure but I’d say the mezco is my Batman especially because I can have long ears

[@Getwright-]

He kind of reminds me of Netflix daredevil. That's not an insult at all it just looks like they'd fit into the same universe. Anyway great toy and great review robo!

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, this makes me hyped for that, seeing how well it works. Thanks man!

[@DemetedP]

I was thinking the same! It literally looks like Batman joined the Daredevil Netflix-verse (it even resembles the Season 2 Daredevil suit that Mezco is making), and it really sparks the idea of a toy "crossover".

[@theguardian3431]

I'm interested in the booklet. Do it man!

[@TheFwoosh]

You wish is my command, haha!

[@dobi287]

Dang bats ain't skipping leg day! Y'all see those calves!

[@williamsmith1477]

Awsome Toy review bro

[@grimes558]

Thank god I'm getting the grey version.

[@jayyoung3478]

Yay for grown men with convincing smiles🤠 love your channel

[@Positive-ju1ie]

Bob Kane would be proud!

[@MolotovFolktales]

Robo--I started with Moon Knight first, back at the end of March. This week, I just got the Clown Prince of Crime Joker (not sorry--he's my kinda Joker--not tied to any continuity, a nice clean slate for my mind and shelf). He's my sixth Mezco in not-quite 2 months. I bought the classic WW for a friend of mine in Wisconsin. I pre-ordered 2 Conans (one for me, one for a friend's birthday), KGBeast, Playing for Keeps Harley, Hellboy standard, and after watching this, I'm about to add Supreme Knight Batman. Dammit. *taps his arm, waiting for his next hit* I can't wait for Doc Nocturnal--I really want to get to Golden Axe Skeleton 2-pack for his "minions." I told myself after the house-fire years ago, that I'd never go down the road of cool fun stuff you'd hate to lose, but here I am.

[@reyking8296]

Robert Leon nice start! Whered u buy the joker cus I honestly forgot I needed one and its harder to find now! Im trying to find one at $80 retail

[@MolotovFolktales]

@@reyking8296 I gotchoo: www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/74817

[@reyking8296]

Robert Leon yea i saw him there on bbts but thx a lot! If i do get him on bbts, id go for maybe joker, aquaman, and blade at the same time for $4 shipping pile of loot

[@ScratchBuiltPro]

Can't watch this sadly knowing that I'll never have or be able to get this. All you are doing Mezco is making scalpers a lot of money. PRCC dark knight (the one we've all wanted) only 300, white and black punisher (again the one we all wanted) only 300 and now this.

[@elmattador8776]

I have been trying to solve the mystery of the bat brick for a while! I was hoping it was like a portable bat shaped laptop or something like that. My wife thinks it's a zip-line thing. Like you throw it over a rope and hold on to both sides and slide down. But why does he need that if he has a grappling gun? I guess he could bludgeon criminals with it but that seems sort of boring...But I guess we may never know!

[@TheFwoosh]

Someone else mentioned the zipline thing too, and it sounded pretty good, but you blew that out of the water mentioning the grappling gun. Hmmm.

[@dougquaid82]

Such a cool batman figure! Wish Mezco would of made this version more available to us mere mortals, those marketing people know what they are doing don't they ^_^ $$$ That being said I am really looking forward to the standard grey version as it looks pretty cool with the yellow/gold bat belt. Plus in this infinite, possibly holographic universe I am glad to have experienced this black variant through your eyes Robo :D

[@ScratchBuiltPro]

Jay Mattick I would understand it if they charged more money but Mezco doesn't. So the only thing I can think is that the people at Mezco is they love scalpers.

[@dougquaid82]

nick ash Yeah I see the marketing technique behind this Black version, it grabbed mezco a lot of attention and in that respect it worked beautifully for them because now everyone wants a peice of mezco.. They did the same thing with classic Punisher, they knew exactly what they were doing making that guy a limited edition.. Prices skyrocketed, people started talking, public out cry for more to be made, job done Mezco! 😂 You have to appreciate the balls of that.. From a business stand point it works, Mezco are the hottest game in town atm and that has been made possible by A. Having a great product and B. Great marketing to go with it. This black version of batman is a prime example, it was made limited on purpose and given to all the figure reviewers for free. Great marketing. Gets people like me and you talking, creates a hysteria around their product 👏👏👏 well played mezco, well played 😂

[@ScratchBuiltPro]

True but it doesn't make it right.

[@dougquaid82]

nick ash It's not about right or wrong my brother.. This is business! And business is Good! 😈 😂 they don't care about the fans, they care about making money, if they cared about the fans these limited edition figures would be available to all. But they're not.. Because money is more important. Right, wrong, makes no difference.. Business is gooood! $$$ 😈😂

[@msha1450]

You can throw the box away Rob !

[@FosterWKrupp]

Great review! I would love to see some Marvel Legends reviews, even if it's a super long video where you "catch up"!

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm actually buying less and less Legends these days, too many imports, but I just got the Deadpool wave today, should get some reviews in next week. And I'm always down for super long videos, haha.

[@_fig.8]

mezco takes on bob kane. stunning

[@TheRealParallelogram]

After seeing your review, I dig the figure overall, but I gotta be honest, I’m not really into the all black version. Just personally for me, it seems like certain details just get lost. I like the style, but there’s something just not doing it for me. Maybe once I see more color variation I’ll pull the trigger on him. Good review, as always, Robo!

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh, totally agree, especially in video and pics. I have the luxury of seeing it in-person and in different lights and backgrounds so I'm biased. But still agree, that's why I'm even more excited for the standard version. This poseabilty and build and aesthetic with a more contrasting color scheme? I'm all over that. Thanks man!

[@TheRealParallelogram]

The Fwoosh thank you for replying! Keep up the awesome content!

[@Jackmarmar]

Damn that’s a nice figure! Can’t afford an $80 figure or a $1000 figure but he looks amazing. I’m just trying to get a Boba Fett for a good price still.

[@shawnhenryhobbyman3965]

It is awesome looking figure if I can afford it I most definitely would buy

[@change023]

video on mezco catalog please

[@jmo9765]

11:32.... Now that's just crazy talk!😮

[@joeholt9704]

Did you ever figure out the display?

[@kerinkellynerdcorner]

Awesome figure! Unfortunately, they cost So much now! Hell I might as well by a Hot Toy or two for the price on secondary market now 🙄🙄

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, it's kind of insane. And really people are paying for a different colored belt and suit, and a Toy Fair sticker. I think I'm going to like the black and grey even more than this because of the more traditional Batman look. And I REALLY like this.

[@grossmisconduct4481]

If only I can get my hands on one 😩😩😩

[@kurosgaming2329]

i know how you feel. i will be getting the regular one but in my head and heart all always be like "but the other one is all in black!"

[@DevonPalmer98]

I should've invested in this figure because my god

[@Neitenth]

Devon Palmer It was selling for a lot day one unless you were one of the lucky people who got it for free.

[@leoballadares7149]

The normal release is basically the same minus it being in the more classic / Justice League animated series colors and comes with more or less the same stuff.

[@danielphillips5944]

Hi dont have any mezco is it worth it to save and get deadpool?

[@TheFwoosh]

Deadpool was my first and it really sold me on the line. It has it's problems but is super nice.

[@zachmemos7763]

Hello! I have been watching/subscribing for YEARS my friend! Listen, you MUST get a hold of a Beast Kingdom DAH-001 Batman. I would LOVE to hear your review of it. Very affordable too. Go to BBTS (Or Frank N Sons). It is an aquired taste, but the scale and overall look is good. BK is off to a good start with this scale. THanks for everything!

[@slen9658]

“Its grown on me as I’ve played with it.”

[@redrevanantarcdemon441]

Reminds me of Earth 2 and Earth 0 mashed Batman.

[@CaptainShuffles]

Dat intro tho

[@geoffdell5963]

Those eBay prices are ridiculous. No way it's worth that much.

[@dobi287]

What, you don't know? You....brick...somebody, idk that thing always puzzles me in videos too

[@jerretzwicker599]

I think they kept from shading the unmasked head to keep him looking younger.

[@TheFwoosh]

I can kind of see that.

[@christophermcdonald9186]

Robo, gimme that catalog review

[@TheFwoosh]

Done!

[@christophermcdonald9186]

The Fwoosh thank you! Saw it as soon as it went up. I've been looking all over for what that booklet had.

[@mr.dontknow2038]

Mine is coming tomorrow I paid £6,987,2380 for it

[@hensolo10]

Figure is perfect except those bat ears

[@TheFwoosh]

I thought the same too but the more I've messed with it, the more I like it. Gives that early look feel to it.

[@gunnersmate7482]

Is the material going to last?

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, it all cloth and leather, nothing seems like it will break down any time soon.

[@johnmayer4822]

Aww the joys of eBay!

[@thebigjisback1218]

I’d watch a video on the magazine from mezco

[@healy7882]

Man I wish they re-released this one

[@theepoopydoodoo]

Mezco should save their money on the stupid ass cape wire clips and just put the wires in the cape

[@jmo13322]

3:33 i disagree...the helmet should be a diff material yhan the costume bc the helmet woukd be made out of a suoer dense material for protection whereas the costume is going to be a diff material bc it needs to be flexible...that is if BM was real of course...juss sayin'.

[@addoc280]

Anything about the little catalogue with promotionnal pics mezco give you weeks ago ??? Can you send me some pics please ??? Or just make a video about that

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, oddly enough, I was editing and uploading that very thing as you were posting. How's that for service?

[@addoc280]

The Fwoosh Thanks

[@playstationceeday2276]

Alright you have the box and i will have the figure and accessories
