What are your thoughts on Mezco's original designs for the

Its a major turn-off for me. I was hoping for designs based off famous storylines and artists's takes for the characters. My favorites thus far have been DK Bartman and space Ghost for that reason.
That said, I'm coming around, simply because they're still good toys of the characters. I'm thinking of buying either Captain America, but man does that chinstrap bug the hell out of me. Not just for being there, but because it encases his face and makes it look tiny. That said, Daredevil and Green arrow are still two big "hell no"s for me. They ruined the simplicity of daredevil's costume,and GA's just looks generic.
That Batman I actually do like, though. He and Deathstroke are two of the best redesins.

>>6402223
I think they work well on some of the figures. Most of the Mezco stuff I own is pretty high quality but the constant delays are starting to put me off of them.

>>6402223
Some of the design choices don't bother me or make me actually want their versions (Flash, Green Arrow) and some of their choices really make me upset (Wolverine, Spider-Man, Batman). The cinematic and classic designs they've put out are really great.

Overrated, and overpriced.

They're more like Megos than "miniature Hot Toys"

>>6402288
So many delays, I have:

Arsenal
Red Skull
Spider-Man
Superman

on delay at my local toy shop right now. I feel like there's another one, too, but I can't remember which it was.

>>6402355
Black Adam was supposed to be out this month but apparently it's December now.

>>6402223
Re-imaginings are terrible.

The ones that look more classic are excellent.

>>6402223
They had the potential to make THE definitive classic and faithful Captain America but fucking blew it, so yeah not so much a fan of theirs.

>>6402223
They should just stick to artist-specific renditions.

>>6402223
It pisses me of how they seem to have hired one of the Square Enix designers for their line. Tacticool Batman is always embarrassing to look at.

Not that I'm all that interested in Mezco to begin with, though, I'm only waiting for them to make Batman Year 100 and every Batman that is not Year 100 tastes like more time wasted reading news about them.

You're lame.
That's one of their best, better than the normal DC comic designs.

Their Batman one in OP is also pretty good, but i like the comic designs more, so it's an easy skip for me.

>>6402223
as long as they dont look like shitty PAK designs then i dont give a flying fuck how they Mezco-ize them. They're awesome enough figures that i can look past that and not be nitpicky

green arrow looked cool, Joker and Punisher turned out great, the "first year" batman there looks horrid.

Its a shame that their take on the retro ironman costume ended up looking bad.

Retro ironman doesn't get enough love with higher end articulated lines.

>>6402633
It's made even worse by the fact that neither of the Marvel Legends classic Iron Man figures aren't particularly good

>>6402633
What's bad about it?

It's a modern retro Iron Man.
Looks neat.

You must just be blind then, because that design looks like fucking garbage.

>>6402633
I think these guys could probably do a pretty damn good Ultimate Iron Man. I had hope that Sentinal would give it a go but theirs would end up even more stylized and probably wonkatated.

>>6402777
Completely forgot about that version to be honest, I meant 6 inch scale, but that one is pretty great

>>6402777

Just leave. Nobody said it looks bad, just that you're a dumbass for not having the cognitive abilities to follow along in the conversation and stick to 1:12 scale.

>>6402466
>That's one of their best, better than the normal DC comic designs
What a terrible opinion. It's super obvious how Mezco appeals to non-readers/non-fans.

>>6403277

ok scalefag.
Nevermind that the Mezco figures aren't actually 1:12 scale and are actually larger than Hasbro's creeping over 1:12 figures....

Nice grammar. Green arrow's costume isn't from the 1950's/60's, its from the 1150's and 60's. It looked like a dated costume even back then, because its just a Robin Hood outfit. Because his whole gimmick is being a modern day Robin Hood, in a domino mask. Its basically the equivalent of wearing a suit of knight armor. Not trying to change your mind or anything, but GA's classic costume isn't really tied to the Silver age(or Golden Age.)

I mean, I'm in my 20's, and thats the costume he had when I was growing up. Discovered DC through some comics and the JLU cartoon,a nd thats how he looked.

Here's the funny part, in that Alex Ross is a nostalgiafag and most of his art is based on Silver Age shit. That specific design is Silver Age.
Read more comics, dude.

The 2000s was full of nostalgia wank for the Silver Age too, btw, so no shit you got a retreading of those designs (and stories) when you were growing up.
Considering this, it's not surprising you don't like a modern take on it.

Will you 2 cut it out? That MU Iron Man is nice but it's only the """definitive""" one because all the other Classic IM figures are so shit.

If that exact figure was in 1/12 then by default that one would be the definitive one, by scale alone.

Shit the bar is so low. Like with Classic Superman.

Can someone answer this question for me?

I want to join Mezco waitlists, but I don't want to be charged immediately. If I join a waitlist, which their FAQ states will translate to a pre-order once they have stock, does that mean that I won't get charged until 20 days before the item is set to ship once it's hit pre-order status? Or do I pay for it immediately upon joining a waitlist?

>>6403628
You don't pay immediately upon ordering.

How is the Glow in the Dark version of Space Ghost? I'm really sick of waiting to get the regular version and places only have the glow version in stock.

>>6402688
The greeble for a start, they didn't really need to go so overboard with it.

The whole crotch portion looks hilariously bad, making the belt so big and having the hip disks sit so high makes it look like hes wearing a massive diaper.

>>6404066
Regular Space Ghost is way better. The suit and cape are made from better material and missing the extra head and paint on the accessories on the GitD sucks. The figure is still really nice and invisible Blip is sweet, but I wouldn't make GitD the one you get if you only get one.

Not that it matters. You won't be getting whatever it is your waitlisting for. Mezco isn't making more of their product. The waitlist is only if people cancel preorders, and no one with a brain is going to cancel their preorder because most of them sell for more on the aftermarket, so even if they decide they don't want it, it's stupid to cancel the preorder , because what if you change your mind?

The joke was that Green Arrow's classic costume is little more than a take on the classic depiction of Robin Hood, who's adventures took place in the 12th century.

You have to remember that those designs have nothing to do with the 12th century because people don't care about history and just do whatever they want.

>>6405993
They say, when legend becomes fact, print the legend. An actual 12th century archer probably wouldn't look like a NC Wyeth illustration of robin Hood, or Green arrow. but, in context, one can understand Green arrow's costume is meant to look like a historical archer's costume.

Honestly don't see the problem with pic related, sure, it isn't faithfull to the comic book, but then again, neither are a thousand Batman figures, if the proposal was not to be faithful to begin what's the problem? People who like it will buy it, people who don't will go for something else, and that's it.

>>6406097
>sure, it isn't faithfull to the comic book, but then again, neither are a thousand Batman figures,

The difference is, A) Batman gets a thousand figures, Green arrow only gets a couple, and B) this comes after a Batman figure that was really faithful to the comic book, which raised expectations.

>>6406107
Yeah, but Batman also got almost almost 10 movies in the last 25 years, that's not to mention all the cartoons, GA only got a few cartoon appariations and just recetnly a tv show, kind of makes sense that they went with something closer to the tv/new 52 looks first. Who knows, maybe the character will keep getting popular and we will se more figures of it in the future.

Still, a figure in this scale that seems to properly hold a bow is something to appreciate on it's own.

>>6405993
So both. Got it.

Its just mostly idiots who think only certain characters can't have original designs before their comic designs get released.

It's basically the equivalent of idiots who don't want to read a comic because they think they need to start with issue #1.

It's a great design and it's no wonder it sold out in most places despite it being fucking Green Arrow.

Pretty fucking dumb and why it's so fun to poke at people who dont know history, especially someone who doesn't know how Silver Agey it is, because they dont know comics either.
