I really want to like this, but the two regular Ash head sculpts don't really look like Bruce Campbell. The Deadite version of the head sculpt and the accessories are all great tho.

Now I wonder if a lot of the other Mezco one:12 figures we've seen at shows for awhile (years?) will be up for pre-order finally (Ghostbusters, Netflix DD, etc). |

I agree Joe, not the best likeness we've seen from Mezco. This will still pair nicely with the NECA Mego Style figures they released. Plus I'm a big fan of the Dynamite Evil Dead/Army of Darkness comic books and this reminds me a bit of that art style. I've got plenty of movie/tv show Ash figures so this kinda scratches my comic book version itch.

Yes, thank you! Those NECA Mego Style figs are pretty big. It's ok, Marvel Legends can't even keep in the same scale with their own stuff (Ragnarok Thor is like huge compared to a lot of other current, newer ML figs) so I have a lot of varying scales in my display.

While they do really well with their comic book-inspired sculpts, Mezco seems to have a real glaring weakness when it comes to getting the likenesses of real people correct. Like Joe said, the two Ash head sculpts don't look like Bruce Campbell, and the Ghostbusters figures they showed at Toyfair recently had the worst likenesses I've ever seen on modern toys. In contrast, their John Wick was pretty decent, however.

Want but face looks off. Neca looks better face wise and that's a downer.
Ash is the only male horror hero i can think of and always had an affinity for the over the top guy humor |

Yeah that doesn't look like Bruce. They may need to reconsider the pricing for some of these figures, $80 is high for this!
The Ash vs Evil Ed set by NECA is almost half the price, you get 2 figures, tons of accessories, and it actually looks like Ash. I'm really surprised Mezco is even making figures that compete with NECA. At least with Halloween, NECA doesn't have the license. But charging $50-55 more for figures that don't look as good? Seems silly |

My thoughts exactly. I wonder who would buy this when you can get a far superior product for half the price (or less than a third, if NECA re-releases Hero Ash singly). Even the Necronomicon looks like a Happy Meal toy compared to NECA's. I figure maybe those 3 or 4 hardcore One:12 enthusiasts will get this.

It’s funny, when it comes to horror figures like this Mezco Ash, I feel like horror fans are less likely to pick them up. Like you said, One:12 enthusiasts will buy them. Also though, people that don’t really collect horror, but maybe they like to get a higher end version every once in a while. I felt the same about the most recent Sideshow Toys Jason. It’s not a very good Jason figure, especially for the price...but you see people going ape for it. It’s inaccurate, very few accessories, and the mask doesn’t even come off, all that for $200 plus. So crazy! |

Looks like they spent more time writing that ad copy than they did sculpting a Bruce likeness haha

This is awesome, the default head sculpt in the photo is a bit off but the second one has some resemblance to a young ash. I look forward to some Army of Darkness homage.
