Mezco Toyz One:12 Collective Marvel's Blade Figure Pre-Order Coming September 9th

This is a pretty cool looking offering from Mez, and its nice to see this time they're using distinctly different expressions for the head sculpt (for example the Doc Savage had 4 heads, but outside of the "pulp" cover variant, they all looked the same). They do love their leather jackets don't they! I see this time they went with a pebbled leather hide, which gives a tough, tactile look and breaks up light. Stands up to scratches better, and the raised bumps naturally hides scuffs. I prefer a sleek, smooth finish myself but I respect the choice here.

Just like my Hulk, Spidey, and Joker from the 70's

This is a really cool looking figure, I just can't get with the prices of these figures, especially when they just seem like complicated contemporary Megos. I can't imagine that the soft goods and materials last over great lengths of time, I just imagine a whole bunch of Collectors who bought all kinds of Mezcos and they end up with disintegrated clothing and just turn into naked plastic people by the year 2051.

Mezco always tempts me with their phenomenally edited promos.
