Mezco WOLVERINE Marvel

Ойын-сауық

Some people seem to think this is the best Wolverine figure to ever be made. Other's don't see the appeal of Mezco products. Can we get to the bottom of it by looking at only the merits of the figures?

    I am a die hard Mezco fan. I have this wolverine and i love it. I do agree with everything you said though 100%. I buy mezco figures but i know what I'm getting. this wolverine was probably my last Mezco for a while. they are getting too expensive for me to keep buying them. one thing i didn't like is there should have been like an additional neck that goes with the unmasked headsculpt. looks weird to me like you took your mask off but the neck is still yellow. idk of that's just me or if that even makes sense to anyone. anyway, great review as always

    Ah, I agree with some of this. But, I still really enjoy this figure. This was actually my first Mezco purchase. I was never a fan of the proportions or fabric on most of their stuff. But, I caved when I saw this one. I thought this was done well and like that the joints are mostly hidden. I think the articulation is pretty decent and you can crank that ab crunch a good amount. I've had a lot of fun posing this guy up and I think when he's not just standing there, his head doesn't look all that big. I don't see it as a $155 dollar figure...I see it as a $155 dollar set. Is that still expensive? Yes. Knock 25 bucks off that. I'm still happy I picked him up though. I display him with my Figuarts Infinity War Hulk (with fabric pants now) and think they scale pretty well. This set is probably more like an 8/10 for me personally. Still love your reviews though man 👍

    As a fan of your reviews I respect your opinion, but as a collector of mezco I do have to disagree when it comes to THIS figure. Being a mezco collector I am hard on the figures if I don’t like the look or the articulation I will sell it so I’m not thinking with a closed mind. This figure compared to the first release of tiger strip is way better in my opinion. To each his own. Not everyone is a fan of the cloth look, but for me as a photographer I love figures that give a realistic feel in photos. As you said for some who collect casually they may not enjoy it when it comes to the pose ability but that depends on the collector at the end of the day. Again I appreciate your honesty which is why I watch your reviews. Great job keep up the good work.

    Same here and I agree with your assessment 100%. The strength of a Mezco is a realistic approximation of a character based on their drawn representation. I think Mezco has done something that is very difficult to pull off on a 1/12 that is usually seen in a Hoy Toys 12-inch figure. Mezco costumes are fantastic in photogenic light and don't stand out under a bright white sterile background. Behind a custom backdrop and good lighting and these are wonderful models to pose. I often appreciate the candor of the reviewer but I kinda feel like this was negative just for the heck of it. Other toy reviewers agree that this is an outstanding figure for the price point.

    I haven't got a Mezco figure since 2020, and even then it was a relatively brief time I spent collecting them and I didn't get many. For me I stopped namely due to the price, but also because whilst I do like how they look I never pick them up or pose them, and that's due to a fear of straining or damaging the material. That's why I never plan on getting into Hot Toys, I imagine that like Mezco I feel like I'd spend more time concerned about how they'll hold up over time rather than just enjoying them for what they are.

    The missus has a few Mezco figures and the ones she has look incredible on a shelf together. To me they’re just not conducive to figure photography because the clothing pulls the joints around and adds friction and it’s not the most fun experience. They do feel very premium to handle though in my experience and the unboxing experience always feels like an event.

    I think the cloth just comes down to the type of collector people are. The cloths look good to cloth type collectors I guess. I agree with the head being too big too. I kinda disagree with the colorings and details for the stuff though. Mezco is known to “modernize” some figures and this is one of those they tried to modernize. Wish the belt didn’t have pouches. Not like he carries anything but motorcycle keys and cigars.

None started to degrade bad and I keep them in a temperature controlled/humidity controlled room with barely anything but the most neutral of poses. Needless to say all my Mezcos are all sitting in their boxes. Don't even display them anymore. They were all the rage years ago, but then I got kind of tired of them and stopped collecting. Got too expensive and all the more iconic versions of the figure was always locked into exclusives that became too hard to grab at retail. Fuck that.

A lot of Mezco's look pretty nice (like the new Superman), but I can't get into the line because I can't get past the fabric look. Even with someone like Superman, it makes him look unflattering and unsuper. So less Superman and just Man.

    Seeing this now, the height and proportions being off is a common problem with mezco, its the whole reason why I buy mostly they're original characters compared to the licenced stuff. Some of their worst being Darkseid, Hulk, Variant Cable, most female figures ( bad proportions and articulation), and all suited figures not named Gomez or Skulls. They were originally made with detail, cloth goods, and articulation in mind; considering they advertise it on the box, but very few people are willing to critisize them for mistakes and just sheer laziness. I mean seriously, is it so hard to have decent articulation on all of these figures (taking muscle mass, proportioning and scale into account), considering your paying $90 to $200 for a "premium quality" product.

    Lol, great review. Here’s the thing, I am a Mezco O12C fan and have some of them in my Marvel collection. However, I completely agree with you on this one. From the first time I saw it, I was like “nope”. Just like their Spider character figures the articulation and use of soft good clothing just doesn’t work. Maybe some day they’ll figure out how to make it work but for now, it’s a hard pass on all non standard body type characters from Mezco.

    I agree with how the price and the weird proportions can be disappointing. I only have 2 Mezcos: Superman 1978 (good proportion and epic light up base imo) and a deluxe Supreme Knight (weird proportions but great deal for $80). To me both feel worth their value esp since it seems Mezco increased their price lately. Any thoughts on their upcoming 89 Batman? Promo pics look good but been on preorder for like 2 yrs 😆 last one I'd get from them.

    The biggest question for any Mezco figure is this: “Is he wearing a sock?” Yes, Wolverine is wearing a sock. I immediately thought of a weekend warrior cosplaying in a cheap suit when I saw this- he saw the $100 costume and the $500 costume and picked the $100 one. If the rest of the suit was the same leatherette as the diaper or they used the same stylized patches and neoprene-like stretchy foam material as they do on Black Bolt or Magneto, maybe it would have worked better, but the proportions still would stink as Wolverine shouldn’t have love handles. I might pay $50 for this for the base, stand, and the clear effects, but I’d definitely still sell the figure or just give it away because it’s just ugly. There are so many figures being released these days that I wouldn’t even take for free because they’re just so poorly executed.

    With all the flaws you gripped about!? The figure to me is the best Wolverine figure for the astonishing Wolverine look it works for me.. you kept sayin 150 worth but it comes with so much accessories you wasn’t paying 150 for one figure with minor accessories you was paying for that amount for the amazing looking stand it comes with and the accessories and effects with that fig. I’m speaking this at the time they just announced the new wolvy fig which is 85 for a fig with minor accessories! Which I’ll be gettin that one too lol

    It’s actually pretty accurate to human proportions. Typical male shoulder width is 3 heads wide and the height of the head is the same as chin to bottom of chest. So maybe it’s the exaggerated fins that are throwing you both off. More often he says the heads are too small but he likes when the shoulders themselves are bigger than the head, so I’m not sure what he’s looking for exactly. Accurate human proportions or exaggerated super hero aesthetics?

    Funny… just picked up the most recent Uncanny version. Seems like they took some of your pointers. He’s got traps, the light blue colorations, nicer detail and about $60 cheaper (less accessories though). Still has some of the same issues like head size and some articulation gripes but, I gotta say it’s a better figure in my opinion.

    When you buy a mezco, you would not expect some things like great articulations, marvel legends scale and a variety of figures. In the other hand, you would expect a lot of accesories, bad ass designs and of course, being expensive!.. This figure brings a lot of accesories, a bad ass sentinel piece, effects, a lot of hands and an incredible design.

    The only Mezco figures I own are the 18 inch hellboy that are well proportion and when Mezco used to be good. I always said that the proportions of the new Mezco figures where midget like limbs and I never got my head around why people praise them so much. Specially for the price. Is like the follow the old school Mattel He-man proportions. Who in their right mind as an artist/ sculptor do that?.

    Great review Anthony, though I like "real" fabrics on figures. Mezco has gone downhill for years, and this Wolverine looks worst than their first exclusive Wolverine that was released years ago and had most of those issues. Only this time, there are even more issues. The head is too big, the body is too small, the blue color is unforgiveable at this point, it should be light blue, and the worst to me: the vinyl underpants. It just doesn't match the rest of the clothing and it's been the biggest flaw from the One:12 line for years. I can't even recall when they started this vinyl atrocity. Their best One:12 figure remains their first one: The dark knight returns. The clothes were perfect, the design & colors matched the comics, and the price was reasonable. There were some other great figs like Punisher, Deathstroke, and a few others, but I think it's gone downhill for like at least 4 years. Now it's way too overpriced, it's overdesigned/stylised with poor tastes, proportions aren't accurate, they add this vinyl horror everywhere, and the figures take forever to come out. I've given up on this line long ago, but at least your review was funny & accurate ; ) Mezco's biggest loss was Pierre Kalenzaga departure. He knew how to manage this line. Whoever is in charge now doesn't know what he's doing. Drives me crazy. They had a gold mine, people like me were passionate about the beginning of the line, and they've completely dropped the ball. This line is my biggest disappointment in this industry.
