What's Going on with Mezco's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 1/12 Boxset?

[@bradleyroeder239]

This video aged like milk. Mezco rangers look great.

[@TokuTopics]

Ehhh idk 😐

[@carlwoolley17]

Yup. I have the green Ranger, and it looks good. The thing with Mezco is that you cannot judge them with promo shots, heck even pictures won't do them justice. You need an actual video or an in hand experience to gauge them correctly.

[@chevron-vw5rn]

Are their belt buckles painted black like they should be?

[@Doragonrenja]

IDK. They’re clearly just 3D renders, the diamonds are *_NOT_* supposed to connect (MMPR or Zyuranger), and the matte fabric is exactly how the American suits looked. So I don’t really have any criticism.

[@MIRLZY]

I mean it says prototype shown right on the listing just digital renders. We won't see these in hand until end of 2023 if we are lucky

[@RGSMANIA]

Are these renders?? I really can't tell, they don't look like the actual figures in quite a few of the shots.

[@selah199]

I can honestly tell you I have purchased Mani Mani Mezco figures and not one has ever showed up looking like their promo picture. They always always look better in hand and they always always are flawless in my opinion. I love every single one of my fingers so don’t knock these until they happen. I’ve got this set pre order already

[@johns3153]

I never got that lucky when I got blade he had messed up paint apps then Netflix punisher arrived with a broken single joint elbow and the the 3rd issue was the mezco wolverine deluxe tiger strip the base had wet paint that bleeds and the stitching is off on the costume

[@ramonegray6688]

Thanks for talking about these, I just order them from tokullectibles, $50 dollars a month payment plan is easy to do. The accessories and the head sculpts are what sold me on them. The two dragon shields that you get is also a big savings, I've always brought red and black armored rangers I have the figuarts and threezero.

[@alejandrojuarez6810]

Hello there, about how much interest would there be for the $50 payment plan? I am very much interested in these figures.

[@Thenic_verse]

Why can't I get In Space figures that are this size?.... oh right MMPR is all that matters.

[@MichaelMillerJ]

I have quite a few Mezco figures, they're the highest end figures I own outside of Hot Toys. I have a feeling these will surprise people.

[@thecollectingrid6847]

Mezco promo shots generally look worse than they are in hand for licensed figures. From a price perspective, it’s $80/figure with wayyyy more accessories than threezero. Also, Mez has a habit of mezco-fying the licensed stuff. For anyone in the fence, they should just wait until reviews are out and maybe try a different Mezco figure to see if it’s in their wheelhouse. Soft goods ain’t for everyone

[@BenThomas13]

Nah three zeros are unmatched. They quality is so good. I don’t even need accessories the weapons are enough. I prefer the helmets too, the civilian head look got old now everyone does it. There is no originality

[@camero220]

Absolutely LOVE my mezco's. I see them as 6 inch hottoys. I love the quality, but I don't want doll-sized museum pieces taking up my limited shelf space. These were an instant buy. Honestly, the only thing that surprises me about these is why didn't they use a shinier spandex material like the show, but oh well. Can't wait to see them in hand. Would really like to see Mezco take a swing at the movie suits if/when hasbro ever decides to do that.

[@JunkionMarnot2005]

Yeah Josh......you kinda summed up my thoughts pretty well. But yeah, it's nice that we'll get an option for MMPR in fabric material.....for those interested in that. Sticking with my Figuarts & LC figures.

[@OneManSentai]

I’m still wondering where those Ultimates figures are. I wanna get those individual Zords 😭

[@stevenwilliams7352]

It's a pass for me, I have the Three Zero, Legacy, and Lightning collection figures already. Also, these look very wide and stubby to me.

[@madizonc8064]

Y’all nitpicking over things that are hardly visible. In terms of attention to details they killed it over hasbro. Also Mezco does great work.

[@stephenfunn8904]

These are chopped together shots of them. I own a bunch of Mezco's and that's pretty common. The pink ranger helmet was wrong the day of the launch, and they fixed it lol. If you don't own one I can understand why the price among other things would scare you. They are def premium figures, and usually when you get one you want more. I would expect something closer to the green ranger promo shots. Covid knocked back a bunch of what they wanted to do, just now getting really old preorders. Last thing the threezero figures are gorgeous but they have a ton of issues as well.

[@ll_GraveLord]

I really think, they should try doing other teams because if Zero3 release in space I'm buying instantly

[@JavierLopez-pc7ri]

I agree. Omg. If Three Zero made Space and Zeo I would buy them all.

[@michaelbreasseale9135]

To be fair, if you watch the MMPR series, when they're in the suits without the helmet, the diamonds don't connect

[@Doragonrenja]

Diamonds don’t connect on the Zyuranger suits either, they’re just closer together.

[@madizonc8064]

Honestly I hope they do the white ranger, lord drakkon (all3 variants), ranger slayer, the solar, and omegas from the comics. And the in space team

[@collectaffect]

if I could get individually I'd likely pick them up...at least 1 or 2. As a 5 pack at that price...not so much

[@jasonwoods7802]

There is the Super7 Ultimates being released as well. Also, if Mezco is at the $80 price point, that’s $480 when you add the green ranger whenever they release it. The 6 pack of the Threezero is $549…so not that big of a difference for figures twice the size!! Easy pass for me on these Mezco.

[@Chriscoleman55]

All my super 7 ultimates preorders were cancelled today! Anyone know what’s going on?

[@WGPhil-uw5cs]

Super7 is never coming out tbh.

[@Chriscoleman55]

@@WGPhil-uw5cs yea doesn’t look good

[@WGPhil-uw5cs]

@Chris Coleman they screwed people promoting two extra waves before the first wave even shipped.

[@Chriscoleman55]

@@WGPhil-uw5cs yes totally agree!

[@xnightshadyx]

The promo shots look like the helmets are photoshopped on or something. They look awful. We have to be reaching critical mass in terms of the number of people wanting to buy yet another version of MMPR within the span of a few years, don’t we?

[@ICEMAN24824]

Mezco hands down the best of what they do

[@michaelleary9233]

The civilian heads look like the best yet, better than Hasbro or Super7, so just waiting to see if they are that good in person.

[@JavierLopez-pc7ri]

I'd have to highly disagree for the Civilian heads. The Trini face sculpt looks like a man with a wig. Zack just looks like an African American figure with no one to resemble. Kimberly looks really off as far as the width of her face. Jason looks okay and Billy looks okay

[@djb1ge]

Yeah, they look odd. The Halloween costume comparison is the perfect way to describe them. If you want figures like these, save up a bit more for the Three Zero set.

[@MatticusPrime1]

I do like the fabric covering the joints.

[@samwill7259]

Oh those look sorta neat, I've always been interested in the use of fabric covering like that in action figur- THEY COST *HOW* MUCH?! FOR MIGHTY MORPHIN AGAIN?!

[@angeljimenez9909]

Mezco is the best 1/12th scale toy brand in my opinion but I unfortunately get price out sometimes with their figures.

[@sharksfever24]

MMPR sells

[@benthornton5105]

I prefer mmpr lightning collection better.

[@JavierLopez-pc7ri]

I think there are a lot of issues with them. Helmets are wrong. The suit material and colors are off. The body proportions are off. The human faces are really off. That price point is far off then what they should be for what they are tbh. They're highly passable for me.

[@jeremymorris345]

In my opinion the other companies except super 7 make worse looking figures but the weapons look so good.

[@RetroGamingCorp]

Like Bandai’s Legacy figures

[@jeremymorris345]

[@Neosuke_Plays]

Honestly, when I first saw these promo shots, I thought they were going for the early 90s cartoon look rangers that were badly drawn on box art and merch back in the day. And in that respect, I thought these would be fantastic to have! $400 though…idk about that.

[@Havoc0213]

I’ve never been a huge fan of cloth in 6” scale.

[@toq_aron]

GD that thought never crossed my mind. The legacy blade blasters like one of my favorites weapon toys that I own and they never made a thunder slinger for it. And now I want one... F#@$!

[@RGSMANIA]

Me toooooo

[@kristofercarter9470]

sorry but did I hear you say that $400.00 wow just wow!

[@DesignIncase]

I think they are bad product shots. There's no way that group picture doesn't have photoshopped helmets. MMPR/Zyuranger has the the more complex designs of the whole franchise. Look at what came before and after and you just don't see helmets designed that way. Mezco figures always have these slightly off proportions. Especially with the torso. I feels like they don't have proper shoulders(or my idea of them), The material is definitely wrong. It's taking what's shiny and making it look obvious knit and matte. You could bs and say the rangers wore a second skin like metal alien armor. Here, they look like knitted clothes. Price wise Well you aren't dealing with paint apps on plastic. At essentially $80 a figure with all the accessories(six pairs of Hands,baseplate with each rangers coins, fully painted unmasked head, all the weapons) . I think that's a very solid price. This is what a premium figure should have. But I'm not in the market for anymore MMPR rangers. You know I kinda want to see Mafex tackle Power Rangers......that aren't MMPR. Like all these 3rd parties could afford to do something the LC hasn't done for main heroes.

[@jamesastra2503]

Best civilian head sculpts. Horrible everything else.

[@bobbymaldonado3748]

They'll have superior articulation to 3zero and the ultimates

[@noksuan59]

threezero version was way better for less which is hilarious because it's 1/6 and has the green ranger included lol

[@jamesbounds]

The material they used for the tights is odd.

[@redroversk]

to be fair, the costumes in the u.s. footage look like dodgy pajamas and not the sheer material from the sentai

[@powerrangerbloxcosmicfury]

Will you let us know when we get cosmic fury updates

[@nharde466]

The price kills it. I wanna get the threezeros because they're a steal. Similar 6th scale are easily $150-300 per figure so they aren't bad price for what they are at all. How the hell did you get Red for $40?? But these Mezcos are usually $80-100 a figure and yeah these aren't the realistic type of proportion and helmet scale that they can pull off. Maybe if it was like $200 for the set we could excuse the proportions for the accessories and headsculpts but yeah I'm gonna pass or wait for some sale or something. Or just get them when they're the last ones I'll ever need lol. Gimme all the mmpr! Just not all at once lol

[@DesignIncase]

Deep Discount have a VERY nice discount on the figure one day. I got Red, Blue, and Black for $35.

[@JohnAnderson-sr7nf]

Its because mmpr is the best

[@redroversk]

it just is

[@KaoruMzk]

Personally, I can’t stand these types of figures that use cloth for the bodies. From my experience, they get dirty really easily, cleaning them is a pain and you basically have to display them behind glass if you don’t want them to become a dust magnet. Also, for that price, no effing thanks. I’d rather import the Zyuranger Figuarts instead, it would probably be cheaper and they would look better.

[@carlwoolley17]

They are photoshop renders. And these shots are not the final product. Go see the Green Ranger in hand review to see what the 5 pack will actually look like. As for 3 zero, I really dont care for that shiny spandex super sentai look. Plus 1/6 th scale isn't most ppl cup of tea for a reason.

[@BenThomas13]

I got the three zero ones the quality is unmatched. These look… doughy. And I don’t like the sterols they used for the suits.

[@RemyXAnarchy]

The helmets look cheap

[@JoshFrisch]

They look so bad.

[@madizonc8064]

Josh you’re bugging, they look better than even what hasbro has done. Also you can’t compare three0 to Mezco. The material is supposed to mimic the spandex. They’re fine.

[@JavierLopez-pc7ri]

Nah. He's spot on. They look cheap

[@madizonc8064]

@@JavierLopez-pc7ri I have a question have you or Josh ever purchased any Mezco products before? Also you say they look cheap these are promo shots they may come out even better in person if they ever release. Maybe they tried to get that spandex look like three0, but again two separate companies two separate scales. Who knows they may turn out better than what you’re seeing. I like them. Also three 0 aside they’re literally the closest thing we’ve got to show accuracy in this scale.

[@JavierLopez-pc7ri]

@Madizon C I don't have to purchase them. I have friends who have and have seen them in person. Not impressed at all for the money they charge. So why waste my money on something I've seen someone else have in regards to their product. It's overpriced and underwhelming

[@madizonc8064]

@@JavierLopez-pc7ri to each their own. If you can say that about Mezco which there is merit in what you’re saying in regards to the price. But that’s because of all the accessories they provide not to mention every figure gets its on accessories flight stand and stand. You can’t go wrong with that where as you’re paying these outrageous prices for hasbro’s various lines and then the amount of QC issues they have and let’s not get started on their “deluxe” products. You know it’s been said you get what you pay for. Now I like hasbro and Mezco it took me years to get into both their lines. I’ve always been more of a Neca and hot toys guy. But like with all companies they all have their flaws/shortcomings. I say don’t knock it till you try it.

[@JavierLopez-pc7ri]

@Madizon C Mezco is not perfect in any way at all. Do you work for them and get free product from them? It seems like your biased on your opinion on them. Big deal they get a stand and accessories that they can't hold at the same time. That doesn't equal the expensive prices. Outrageous prices of an action figure? I wasn't aware that $24.99 was Outrageous when thats the cost of most action figures now if not more.
