2018 NYCC Exclusive One:12 Collective Wolverine Ronin Figure From Mezco

God, those head sculpts are amazing! Would totally get this and use the regular hairstyle one on a ML, if it fit.

It's very hard to do soft goods on a scale this small- the weave of the fabric, etc., just tends to look too big, and it's harder to get them to sit right, since they don't have a lot of weight to them. Mezco definitely does a better job than most, though.

Thats true. I very rarely find any soft goods on figures I like. Off the top of my head the only figure I think looks good with cloth goods in my collection is my darth revan figure

Ive looked at these mezco figures and I really dont like the look of the cloth goods. I like the head sculpt with his hair pulled back. I just dont like the look of the cloth clothes on this.

The TMNT is a very special case. Playmates Toys is the master license holder. The only way that Neca is allowed to make this figures is in exclusive packages at cons. For some reason thaey could negotiate the release as single card figures, but this companies (Playmates, Hasbro and Mattel) are usually very hard to negotiate. One explanation for this exception, is that either Playmates have no interest in exploring the movie turtles or the simple fact that is a store exclusive qualified the figures to be distributed. This reminds me when Neca managed to make 7 inc scale DC movie figures (Superman and Batman) and that Harley Quinnfrom the Arkham game as Toys R Us exclusives.

Yeah I was aware of that, apparently Neca did come to an understanding with Playmates where they let them release these figures as specialty store exclusives (probably because playmates finally understood that those type of figures were geared more towards collector market and it wouldnt affect thekid toy market they go for, and werent really intrested in getting in the collector market). I was just using that set as an example of an exclusive that shouldnt be an exclusive because itends up making a lot of collectors mad, beingan item that would easily sell well on regular/mass distribution and is very sought after and the only way to get it is through attending a show is a bad idea IMO (I understand in this case at the time it was the only way NECA could release them but its just an example of an exclusive that shouldnt be), instead of an exclusive that fits right being a more niche product that everyday collectors wont be that upset if they cant get their hands on them.

Totaly agree, exclusives should be figures that are cool but are not must haves that way people who want them will try to get their hands on them even with the "exclusivity" price, and people who dont can just pass on them.IE Neca's Movie TMNT set vs Super 7's Laughing prince Adam: Making a set like the TMNT SDCC exclusive was really bad at first cause everyone knew these items were going to have an extremely high demand (thank god neca realized this and was able to release them individually through gamestop later on), where as Laughing He-Man was a perfect exclusive, its an item that motu collectors and casual collectors might want but its not a figure that if you couldnt get your hands on it youd feel like your collection was incomplete.

That is the point of exclusives. Imagine if they made like an Age of Apocalypse or other cooler and very wanted figure like they did last year.

Exclusives are always supposed to be this: cool figures, but that don'thave such a high demand.

Yeah, does seem like an odd and obscure piece for Mezco to do, but hey theres at least someone out there wholl buy it.

i still need to add a mezco to my collection. they are tempting but sometimes i think the clothing looks kinda weird

I think a need wolverine from mezco, but i have some doubts because the x-force and classic are still available, so that makes me think there is something with the figures
