It was that time of the year again and that means Toy Fair and with that massive event comes the chance to peruse the offerings by Mezco Toyz in advance for the purposes of press. We love the stuff that Mezco delivers to the collector’s shelves for sure and with this years preview I decided to break it up into a couple of different parts. The Mezco “One:12 Collective” line staggers the imagination and we first saw their figures with the Dark Knight Returns line from last year. With 2016 Toy Fair approaching, Mezco has expanded into additional Marvel and DC Comics super-heroes along with several interesting science-fiction and horror licenses. I’ll leave this a primarily visual experience for you since I don’t think you need me to discuss who ever single figure is. Don’t worry I will chime in here and there.

PiercingMetal’s Peek @ Mezco Toyz “Toy Fair 2015″ Offerings

February 10, 2015 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

Of the InToy Fair 2015 was around the corner and once again PiercingMetal.com was one of the small group of press outlets invited to the inner sanctum of the Mezco Toyz company in order to get an advance look at their latest offerings. I would be joined by my stalwart colleague in arms, Skeleton Pete Parrella and present you with my findings in this post. Take a deep breath, map out how you might want to use that surplus cash going forward in this new year and continue on deep into this narrative. Licensed properties from “Breaking Bad”, “Sons Of Anarchy”, “Mortal Kombat” and “Batman” will join up with their long standing “Living Dead Dolls” and “Mezitz”. Here we go….

The members of the Press were greeted by the company mascot Gomez. Don’t worry folks, he doesn’t bite 🙂

We were all escorted over to the conference room which had been setup to showcase all of the new offerings and in the center of the room were some banners. One banner featured the “Mortal Kombat X” license so we shall begin with those images.

PiercingMetal’s Peek @ Mezco Toyz “Toy Fair 2014” Offerings

February 7, 2014 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

Last year PiercingMetal.com attended two special events held by the fine folks at Mezco Toyz with the first being their “Classic 1966 Batman” reveal and the second a “1st Ever Public Warehouse Sale”. These were great events and when the invitation came to peruse their 2014 Toy Fair offerings before the grand event, it was without hesitation that I headed to Long Island City to bring you all the advance visual scoop.

This Press Conference was originally set for Wednesday of this week but the horrendous weather kept people away and that made me glad to find it rescheduled for Thursday. They said that attendees would have needed a tauntaun to attend and my reply RSVP lined out how the PiercingMetal Imperial Walker was still in the shop at the time. So here we go with our findings. It was without question that Mezco Toyz were very excited about their “Sons Of Anarchy” license and all of the coolness that was going to come out because of it. They even worked out this super cool banner for the company that uses the properties design. Check it out below.
