Hoodz: Vapor Mezco One:12 Collective Rumble Society Exclusive

[RamenRider]

This looks great, the headsculpts are really cool.

I do wonder why Mezco is so hell-bent on selling already produced numbers of a figure that drops the same month pre-orders go live? Why aren’t the Rumble Society figures made to order?

The only conclusion I can come to is they enjoy the super limited nature and exclusivity behind these figures. Instead of making more money by taking more orders they'd rather have that "hype" and see their figures reselling for hundreds and hundreds of dollars. There's really no other explanation that I can come up with that makes sense... because you're right, they should be making their own line of figures more available.

They seem to for whatever reason be going the route of having the figures ready to ship within a month when it comes to Rumble Society. Every time I see them announce a new drop and I see all the toy reviewers with it in hand that's a pretty good indicator that it's going to be super limited and hard to get.

If I had more funds I would consider getting one for my Miles Morales Sentinel figure--although that's assuming they match up size wise. But it's waitlisted already, so whatevs.

The thing I noticed was the skeleton in the suit, sneakers, and trench coat heavily reminded me of a certain 10th Doctor and makes me hope Mezco is at least considering making figures from that series.

forgot about it until about 10 after and by then it was waitlisted... jumped on that but I'm still on a waitlist for the Black baron bends and frickin' Popeye so...

[PlasticPoser]

Vapor is back up for pre-order. Those who waitlisted will have their orders converted to pre-order

2022 now... dang, those 10minutes just cost a year+ wait. lol

I have no interest in this so am somewhat surprised it sold out immediately but I'm glad they seemed to have copied what they did with the last couple exclusives and convert it to a 2 day pre-order period where anyone who orders is at least guaranteed to get it if they want it. They did it with Nosferatu and I got mine, albeit later than the first batch.

Literally makes no sense for a company to throw away money by not meeting the demand of their customers.

Is he an alien? I’m getting too old!

[Barnatoys]

Well I really prefere to be able to get in a year or so that just not geting it at all like the other exclusives.
Mezco, when you want to relaunch all your amazing own design

They appear to be doing both with this line. Those who got their orders in before it sold out will get them this month. Those who missed out can still pre-order, however they ship next year.

From Mezco site.

That's good. I don’t need my figure immediately; I'm used to waiting, so if I really want one of these figures and can pre-order that way I would be happy to.

By the way, I remembered who this guy reminds me of - can I get One:12 Gorillaz maybe?

Pretty spot on there. I'd agree and raise you, Captain Planet's troublesome punk vandalizing baby brother.

[louche]

This reads like someone really wanted to get the Gorillaz license
