News bits from a YouTube Mezco interview:
(Can I post the link?)

-They can't do the Fantastic Four or related characters (Dr. Doom, Silver Surfer, etc.), nor can they do "most mutants". Wolverine, specifically, is off the table.

-Each hero is also likely to be paired with an appropriate villain. They wouldn't say who we will see, but I would guess Red Skull, Jigsaw, Bullseye, maybe Lex Luthor. I don't know who Green Arrow's most prominent villain would be. Merlyn? Deathstroke? I'm sure Deathstroke would sell very well.

-A third Punisher is in the works; a modern version.

-Expect lots of accessories, extra heads, etc.

-Expect more Batman v Superman and lots of Batman and bat-characters down the line.

-Thundercats is still a possibility.

If they make a Deathstroke I don't think I'll be able to handle it. Yea, screw 6th scale, I'm gonna stick with Mezco for now.

They specifically mention ThunderCats in One:12 as a possibility? I'd love a link! PM me if we aren't allowed to post links here Please

You're fine to post youtube videos. If you use the Youtube.com link (instead of the youtu.be link) it will auto-embed.

holy motion sickness. that video is barf city. Either the room had a 15 minute earthquake or this clown has never held a video camera before.

Such a waste of great footage. I'd rather watch it without auto-stabilization filtered through because that's unbearable.

It would probably just be easier to list the figures in this line I don't want. They are just incredible. I'm just glad they stuck to the big two. If they started adding Dark Horse and/or Image characters, I'd really go broke.

Mezco has hit a goldmine with these figures. They were a risky venture to begin with, but it has paid off with amazing execution. Really impressed with how they've handled the line thus far. Also, it's gotten the least attention, but I think that Frankenstein looks the best out of all of them. What if they made a Mummy with a full body wrap? That'd be amazing.

Mezco's Hellboy figures (both comic and movie) are some of my favorite figures of all time, so I really hope that they still have the license.
HB and Abe would be PERFECT for this type of figure.

Really ?!? This issue is really starting to get out of hand.

I don't understand the problem with X-Men. Fox owns only movie rights. Why Can't Mezco get away by making comic book versions of said characters? Can Fox claim ownership on these too?

Wonder if Marvel won't let them? They seem to have a hateboner for the X-Men these days.

It's like Marvel abandoned their child and now they don't want to have anything to do with it because they are in feud with stepparents. Sounds like a script from a Brazilian telenovela. Seriously it hurts us collectioners more than their greedy pockets. Just imagine how cool it would be to have a One:12 treatment for all the X-Men characters.

well i think it has more to do with promoting x-men while they dont have rights to make a film, which sucks but i understand why they wouldnt want to. on a side note i hope they do a punisher with his skull mask and hope its not cloth, i guess that is my deciding factor of jumping into this line or not.
