Would love them to use the larger body for a One:12 Sabretooth. Preferably “Cats” Sabretooth (first costume) but I’d settle for Jim Lee Tooth. With all the different versions of Wolverine, it seems crazy not to have him.

Video promo for Lone Roach and Grub (Mezco’s Lone Wolf and Cub).

[Grant C]

Heads up to all you cockroach fans: Lone Roach & Grub going up on 11/7 for pre-order, probably as an exclusive.

[Grant C]

Sold out in 7 minutes!

[jwyss234]

Mezco will start charging for the classic Wonder Woman tomorrow.

[notoriouslyhigh]

Mezco posted this to their IG. Not sure what it means myself, but figured I'd post here.

Edit: D_amazing and CrashBoxCustoms also posted this to their IGs. They have both been doing a lot of the promo shots/displays for One:12 stuff lately so I believe there's a new One:12 coming... not sure what it'll be though.

Gomez-verse figures are on the loose...i like them

[notoriouslyhigh]

Mezco should have made thier clothes more of a biker or rocker look. seems kinda lazy.
Reminds me of The Warriors, could be the inspiration.

The Pink Skulls set is up for preorder on Mezcos website. I’m not interested in this. At $225 it’s too pricey for me.

[Bo Ttef]

$225?
lol..... uh no.

[notoriouslyhigh]

Gladly picked this up. Used about $60 worth of reward points on it as well so at $180 after tax and shipping, I'm okay with it.

Might end up changing those shirts at the very least though, feels a bit redundant to have them wearing the same thing as one of the Gomez variants.

$225 for .… ummmm… henchmen? sorta? I don't get these. Seems as ridiculous as cockroach head. Oh well, these aren't for me, that much is obvious. Great for those that like it!

There's videos explaining who they are and what their role is in Gomez's universe.

Can nobody do math? $225 split in 3 is $75... did you all think they would, for no reason at all, sell these for less then their normal price range? Hello... do you guys even buy Mezco One:12?...

Apologies. I don't follow the "Gomez universe"... I PERSONALLY find the roach a stupid character, only worthy of being an adversary to my pet lizard. However I LOVE most of the regular One:12 line. When I pay $$ for a Mezco, it's under the assumption it's a different character and/or costume, not 3 identical figures. I don't army build, and definitely don't army build expensive limited accessibility toys. Hopefully that doesn't insult you into a rage, again.

LoL..
Hello? Suckers? Anyone? Premium price for kitbash extras?!?! I think that's more the issue here for me. If you dig it for $225 then jump on it... But asking full price for what amounts to the spare parts you had left over from your regular release mascot figure... big pass.

Now you've done it.

heh... Anyone should buy what they want. period. I'm NOT a Mezco fan so I see a 3pk like this at a premium rate as asinine. BUT...Had this been a 3pk of Hellfire Goons I would be all over it.. I'm a fan of characters that sometimes Mezco makes better than anyone else and I'll pay a premium for them- This feels to me like a cash grab out of their loyal fan base that do love the Gomezverse (or whatever it is)paying top dollar for nothing new kitbashes... I don't know... I still love a lot of their stuff but I'm starting to look at Mezco the same way I look at The Loyal Subjects-

[Vamp]

why the hate? all toy companies repeat molds with different heads. heck, even Legends does it as well. no surprise here...some Collectors buy figures with no back story and go by just looks and coolness, even i do that.

[Bo Ttef]

Hate? Hates a little strong. Most of this discussion began as just LoLing at that price point... Then, after getting raged at for "Not even knowing MEZCO!" i had to explain WHY I personally feel the Premium Price Point is bonkers- as opposed to say 'Hasbro' kit-bashing on Non-Premium toys and still charging $20!!! ea. ... But again... Buy.What.You.Want! If you think $225 for 3 kit bashes is perfectly acceptable, I'm not going to talk you out of it. Im definitely not going to say "You're an idiot!" for it... (it's exclusive and will probably be going for more inside a year on the secondary market if you're the sort that values that- im not... only because i open everything) BUT i will LoL at that price!

[notoriouslyhigh]

So now because I've stated my opinion, which contradicts yours, I'm "raging" ... how hilarious. You guys can keep "raging" about paying the same price (give or take a little) as every one of these figures have been for a couple years now.

If you don't like the concept/idea of the figures themselves then just simply don't buy them bitching about the price isn't going to make them magically cheaper for you.

Um, kiddo... YOU are the one going on and on about it. You ranted about ME stating that I'm obviously NOT the intended audience for these, and blew up. LOL you are the one going off half-cocked at people. I even said that I'm happy for those that want it! I don't care. calm down. switch to decaf.

Ah, who am I kidding. Better to just add another name to ignore list and spare myself future nuttiness.

Back to topic... You think there will be a 2nd offering of Captain Marvel with the shorter hair? I have Cap on preorder, but my wife REALLY liked Brie's shorter hair look, and was hoping there would be a chance at that look.

HA! Yeah man- definitely reads as a bit on the "raging" side when it's directed toward your opinion of LoL. It's cool- I've internet raged plenty.
... and just saying- bitching about price (AND not buying) is EXACTLY how prices come down. But as long as folks like yourself see the value in their rates for this sort of release- well- yeah... only goes UP from here. BUT, on the sunnier side- hopefully selling through these Gomezverse kit bashes will create the funds to really up the extras on their licensed products!

[jwyss234]

Mezco has revealed their KG Beast figure. It's available now for preorder from Mezco and BBTS. FYI, BBTS is charging a non-refundable deposit for the figure. I'm not sure if they've been doing this for previous One:12 figures or if KG Beast is the first but I figured I would mention it if this is new for BBTS and Mezco figures.
