Pre-order goes up Friday and it is an exclusive so it might go fast.

[dukefett]

I'm counting on that it's shipping in a couple months, so hopefully it's not so limited. Also possible it was going to be an SDCC exclusive and was delayed now.

But I'm picking it up either way, just hope the $125 is worth it. That's the same price as Gordon last year with the bat signal.

[notoriouslyhigh]

You're probably right, this is around the time they usually would be announcing SDCC exclusives. Unfortunately you just never know with Mezco exclusives how the experience is going to go. But I wish luck to everyone who is going to buy it! I hear they did some work on their order process to make it more efficient, so we shall see.

Another $125 exclusive?

Dear Mez,

Kindly go fuck yourself.

Warmest regards,
Me.

Another Mezco exclusive.......

Meh, pass.

[warmachine6]

gotta see offical figure images, as a huge fan of Christopher reeve superman this might be one to get considering i missed out on the neca one, but then mafex might do one...

[Raynys]

Nope.

[CasualCollector]

I think Mezco would instill more faith in a market for this niche if they had $80-$90 regular versions for online/specialty stores and $125+ exclusives on their site with all the works and extra stuff.

Because they would most likely realize that people aren't going to tolerate the hiking and limited releases forever...

[Comedian]

Nope. They sucked me in with the Keaton Batman. These prices are out of hand now.

[Black Arbor]

Asking 125 bucks, sight unseen? I know the track record here is good, but for that much money I'd at LEAST wanna see a prototype head or something...

I was a HUGE 1978 Superman movie fan as a kid. I wore out a few VHS tapes of the movie. I used to run around the house with a towel around my neck and my Superman PJs as a toddler. This might be the one piece that could wrestle me out of my toy retirement.

My Neca one is broke, so if this is good, it'd make a good replacement.

[Enigma2K2]

I still have my Hot Toys Chris... I'm good.

Well they'll always put the actual photos up at the preorder, but yeah a day or two to look and examine would be nice.

[Krydion]

The NECA one is great, and it was a lot cheaper.

[Strider]

Sorry, but these One:12 figures are overpriced crap. They're basically 6" Barbie dolls with a little more articulation and real-life doll clothes.

Different strokes for different folks. I love my Neca one, but unfortunately it's had a broken leg since day 1, and Neca couldn't do anything for it.

Well, that's totally your opinion. A lot of people like the One:12 figures.
Your Barbie clothes comment is literally one of the funniest things I've read in a TOY FORUM. All action figures are technically dolls, regardless of whether or not they have cloth clothes. Using that against them is legitimately laughable. But ok. Man, sometimes I miss not spending more time here.

Webz, either rejoin the forum or don't, you're in this weird limbo right now

DANG IT... been busting my hump over here in quarantine... didn't know they were right on my tail...

dang...

[Chopper Face]

Oh Mezco; what a bunch of wankers.

I might actually have a Mezco collection if every figure worth having wasn’t an exclusive.

That's fantastic.
you should be nothing but super proud of that custom, regardless of what Mezco does.

Seconded! Heck, given Mezco's past history with Superman figures, there's a good chance yours will end up being better than whatever they make!

[notoriouslyhigh]

Just noticed this has a 6 per person limit so most likely the quantity will be there for people. They've been reducing their more limited runs to only 2 per person. This will probably end up on BBTS with a slight price mark up as well.

That pretty much sells it for me, that looks good!

[webz]

EEEEP... That is REALLY... REALLY Tempting. ooooooo... forwarded the pic to my wife, her instant response "OOOOOooooooo dreamy!"

[negamegatron]

Trunks better be a separate piece and not just stitched in like Aquaman or rubberised like Classic Superman...
