I think for mixed media figures 12 inches and up, Sideshow has the exclusive rights to Friday the 13th at the moment. I could be wrong though.

My first payment finally went through for the upcoming Sideshow Jason from Part 3. Super excited for it, since I managed to nab the exclusive and it looks to have had some improvements from the original sculpt.

Seriously though, guys. Does anyone know what happened to the Classic Punisher I posted a picture of earlier in the thread? They have yet to solicit it, and it's been a whiiiile since it was first shown. Was it canceled?

It just looks silly, in my opinion.

Honestly, in my opinion, they should have taken the approach they took their Superman and made the trunks an integral part of the costume, rather than taking the other approach and turning them into shorts.

Hmm, I wonder if that would limit Mezco from doing a 1:12 scale, mixed-media version? I'd assume that's what has allowed Mezco to jump through all these licensing hoops with stuff like Marvel and DC.

With Sideshow, I hope they use the license well and release more updated 12" Jason versions. Something tells me they might just do one Jason, Freddy and Leatherface. Just seeing how good the new Part 3 looks, I'd take some updates to the other old figures and the Part 8 and Roy they never got to. Also, cool to hear they're starting to collect payments on the pre-orders...I'll be on the lookout for mine to go through!

Speaking of Leatherface, he'd make an awesome One:12 figure too.

[CosmicCollector]

Mezco is just taking all my money with these damn One:12 figures, but there are a few kinks to work out with a majority of these figures.

The Netflix Daredevil looks amazing, and I honestly hope this isn't their only dip into the MCU pool. They would be crazy not to do a Jon Bernthal Punisher and can honestly get away with doing variants (Blood Stained white Jumpsuit Prison Riot, Military Jacket rooftop fight, hospital assassination, and of course the final in costume version).

But that's just wishful thinking. I hope to god they also have plans for Luke Cage, Elektra, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist. Also, wtf happened to the classic white boot/glove punisher?! I need that baby asap.

The Wolverine is a bit off. Mainly because they gave him the biker shorts look as opposed to the actual pro-wrestler style trunks. I hope they also do an unmasked logan head as opposed to what looked like two masked heads. Here's hoping for a blue and yellow variant.

That Batman is amazing! On one hand I was pissed because I thought it was going to be a straight up classic first appearance Batman with the purple gloves, but this is a perfect amalgam of classic first appearance and a modern take on the dark knight. Plus, a damn Bruce Wayne head!

Iron Man and Dr. Strange look amazing, and I love that they put designs on Strange's tights as opposed to just having blank black cloth. It really adds to the figure. The Dawn of the Dead figures are cool. I hope we can get a non-zombified Flyboy, maybe a hare krishna zombie too.

Ash looks pretty cool. Just dirty up the shirt a bit and it's perfect. The face even fits definition wise as Bruce had sleeker feature's back then. But it does look a bit like Christian Bale in the face. So here's to a more detailed final product. I also never knew I needed a Popeye figure until now lol.

That's what I've been asking. They haven't showed it in a while. I'm worried it's been canceled, although I'm also thinking it's possible that it's going to be some kind of Con exclusive.

They've already confirmed classic blue/yellow Tigerstripe costume as a Diamond exclusive. There'll also be a third Wolverine variant as an exclusive for Mezco's online shop, although they haven't revealed what costume it'll be.

Where did you get that info? Not doubting your word, just curious, I must have missed it!

I got it from the TheFwoosh article "Mezco One:12 Toy Fair Preview", the author was at the pre-show and was talking with the representatives.

[WesCoastAvenger]

SO If They Continue Three Costumes Per Figure Im Thinking

Wolverine-
-Brown And Yellow
-Yellow And Blue
-X-Force

Iron Man-
-Classic
-Modern
-Maybe A Tony Stark To Feauture Some Cloth?

Doctor Strange-
-Classic
-Red And Black
-A Slight Change To The One Of Those Two With A Bunch More Magic Effects?

I think some of that is at play here with a lot of the faces shown here at the pre-show - at least the paint and the lighting.

A digital sculpt that looks good only under certain angle and lighting is still a terrible sculpt.

Usually, company show their best product in the preview prototype stage, with it being expertly painted by hand, and when the final mass-produced product is out, it is usually a little less impressive. If it looks this bad now, there's not a lot of promise for the final product.

Once again, I'm only referring to the figures that are supposed to be real people. The rest of their lines are just fine to excellent. I'm just saying their sculpts of real people is no where close, and that is double bad considering they have excellent digital sculpts and still manage to mess that up.

While this is generally true, I must say that so far with Mezco, it was the exact opposite for me.
I've been getting a "meh" feeling from almost all preview/promo pics, but ended up blown away by the actual figures.
Not saying Harley, Wonder Woman or any upcoming "human face" character will end up perfect, but coming from Mezco, I'll wait until I see the actual product before I make any judgment!

Most likely it may end up being a con exclusive. Which could or could not be a bad thing as I was able to get an DOJ Armored Batman and Classic Cap, but that black and white Dredd/Lawmaster combo still eludes my collection. If we can get four different Daredevils we should be able to get four Punishers (Hoping for that netflix).

That is awesome news! I hope the third is either Old Man Logan or Days of Future Past!

[graphyt]

Daredevil, Wolverine, Doctor Strange all jumped to the top of my list. Everyone I see Darkseid I shiver with how much that thing will cost but I can't wait to finally get it. Least I've got a year to save. Anyone else think Strange looks awkwardly skinny? I like the costume just doesn't look like the body fills it out enough. That cape is gonna be fun to pose, kinda hope they don't make it wired though.

Did they cancel it, or is it gonna be a con exclusive, or what? Because we haven't heard anything about it for a while, and that's the one version of their Punisher I wanted.

Same. But I have a suspicion that they canceled it. Given the recent releases, it seems like they've gradually phased out the alternative costumes with the exception of a few big releases. All the parts except the gloves are in the Deluxe Punisher just in different colors. I'm split between getting the Deluxe or just passing all together and hoping.

Take a look at Mezco's One:12 Collective Star Trek figures. They can do good real human likenesses.

Eh, I wouldn't be so sure. Captain America has the Classic and Commander Rogers variants, Daredevil has the Shadowland and First Appearance variants, Frankenstein has the colorized variant, Green Arrow will have the Arsenal variant, Flash will have the Reverse Flash variant, Superman will havd the Red Son variant, Space Ghost will have the glow-in-the-dark variant, Spock has the "The Cage" and "Mirror, Mirror" variants, Kirk has at least the "The Trouble with Tribbles" variant, Red Skull will have the Classic green jumpsuit variant, they've already confirmed that Wolverine and Iron Man will have multiple variants...

I don't think Mezco is at all slowing down variants.

Honestly, I don't think those will be Iron Man's variants - so far, Mezco have proven they don't like to make to much new molding for variants, and the only real drastic changes aside from coloration has been in the fabric outfits for some of them. I don't think they'll do that drastic of remolding for Iron Man; I'm thinking they'll be something along the lines of Stealth and Silver Centurion, or other armors which fall into the "skintight suit" category of Iron Man armors.

Hmm. Good point. We'll here's hoping then.

[Captainkrabs]

Classic Punisher is coming! Confirmed by Mezco.
He is put on hold for now because the first punisher just came out & the "Deluxe" is coming soon and they didn't want to get the three variants out too close from each other...

Check this interview, lots of great info!

PS: keep asking about Knightmare Batman, they were surprised so many people were disappointed by the cancellation so who knows!

[graphyt]

Awesome. Still, wish we had a little of an idea what the accessories might be; if they're any different from the basic Modern version. Lot of guns in the Deluxe version.

Oh thank God.

[graphyt]

Ugh. The Classic as a MezShop exclusive would kill me. That shipping is rough.

I'm kicking myself for not asking about the Hanna Barbara line. I would kill for some Herculoid figures.

[CosmicCollector]

So glad classic punisher is still a thing!

[QuasiMort]

One:12 Collective's Popeye's has that 'real world' look, he's not based on the B&W Max Fleischer cartoons from the 1930's like the 5 inch and 12 inch Popeye figs Mezco released back in 2001 were. Still, it's a cool looking figure. I'll probably pick him up depending on what accessories he comes with.

One:12 Collective 2017 Line-Up

[RolandofGilead]

Love that Batman.

[Toonstrack]

That Batman is really nice, the Wolverine looks fantastic as well... If already preordered Deatshtroke, so if another variant of him doesnt come out(Is he scheduled for one?)I may have to get the Batman to face the two off against each other.
