YellowBird · #1 01-31-2010, 05:52 PM

Just found this info at the following Toy Fair 2010 link:

http://s23.a2zinc.net/clients/tia/to...BoothID=140477

"Manufacturers of toys and collectibles of some of the following licenses The Wolfman, Clash of the Titans, Kick-Ass, Green Hornet, A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), The Watchmen, Hellboy, Beetlejuice, Saw, Family Guy, Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 and Living Dead Dolls."

there are pretty much always new licenses at Toy Fair... That's what makes it so much fun

YellowBird · #3 01-31-2010, 06:17 PM

I'm excited for what we'll see from the Watchmen license

What day is toy fair?

On the hunters lair (Predator forum) someone named "Venkman" was asking for pictures of Predator from the first film because he was sculpting a figure for a "MAJOR COMPANY"....My guess either Neca...or Mezco...I guess we'll find out at toyfair eh?

The link Yellow Bird posted shows NECA got the license to the new Predators movies SO there might be something to that.

They also mentioned Jonah Hex and Bob Marley along with Predators which are all news to me.

In the latest issue of Wizard magazine there are pictures of Rorscach and Dr. Manhattan Mez-Itz. I thought they were customs at first glance because I hadn't read anything before about Mezco having the Watchmen license, but they were presented as official merchandise. I actually came to the boards to see if there was any more info on them. So I guess this is good news.

freddysnightmares · #9 02-01-2010, 08:52 PM

That would be sweet if Mezco got the Watchmen Licence!

Thanks for the info!

Found these after a quick search:

Can't wait to have these.

Edit:
Found these as well

DeSouled · #11 02-01-2010, 11:19 PM

That Beetlejuice is freakin' amazing! Thanks for the pics, YellowBird

OhMyChokingSoul · #12 02-02-2010, 10:22 AM

I don't understand Mez-its. Different strokes for different folks, but I like detailed figures. These always struck me as an "I'd buy anything Hellboy related" type product. Of course, you could replace Hellboy with any other franchise.

The only exception was the blank Mez-its that people painted, that's a cool idea but I still wouldn't buy them.

BigRed · #13 02-02-2010, 12:48 PM

So no SUPERNATURAL figs? PASS.

Nope NECA has the license..

Man what I wouldn't give for Warriors Mez-its

I liked the old Mez-Itz a lot better =/.

Agreed. The old Mez-its rocked. The new ones do nothing for me.

DeSouled · #18 02-03-2010, 10:30 PM

I'm really liking the new style of Mez-Itz, particularly the horror ones. Even though the 'detail' is painted on, rather than sculpted, they're actually quite complex, and the use of realistic hair is a neat touch, too, in my opinion.

evilekim · #19 02-04-2010, 12:52 AM

They look too different to even be called Mez-itz. The fact that there is no sculpt is kinda dumb. Besides, they are pretty much a rip off of Mighty Muggs.
That said, I still bought the Jason one.

D. Martin · #20 02-06-2010, 05:33 PM

Toy Fair begins next weekend, and you'll be able to find images and information on of Mezco's new offerings at Cool Toy Review. Personally, I'm pretty excited to see what they are showing this year. Our coverage will begin on Saturday the 13th, and we'll have the Mezco stuff up Sunday the 14th.

Make sure to check our coverage out!

Drop me an email if you have any questions for the different companies and I'll try getting what answers I can.

Actually, they are virtually identicle to the last Mez-It produced around 5 years ago, the silver Mez-It.

Virtually identical but much larger.

Hand of Doom · #22 02-06-2010, 10:49 PM

Wonder what the new Family Guy will be?

Johnny Utah · #23 02-07-2010, 07:08 PM

It'd be cool to have a series of figures based on the traps from the Saw films.

TCM Hitchhiker · #24 02-09-2010, 12:57 AM

That Beetlejuice Mez-Itz is freakin' amazing!

Pumpkin King · #25 02-10-2010, 03:40 PM

Mez-its ROCK!

Mezco really did a great job on these. Now with a lot of hot licenses being done as Mez-its, along with the death of Mighty Muggs, this line is going to be a SOLID seller for the average vinyl collector. I love them.

And to say Mezco ripped off MMs is just a uneducated statement, obviously by someone who is not familar with the world of vinyl toys. Where do you think MMs got THEIR ideas from? Munnies, Dunnies etc....

DeSouled · #26 02-10-2010, 04:17 PM

Wonder if the horror-themed Mez-Itz got ahold of the Mighty Muggs and contributed to their demise...

MagikalChilde · #27 02-11-2010, 10:17 AM

Kick Ass Pic!

Looks dumb =/.

hellachris · #29 02-12-2010, 03:48 AM

Yeah, not really my thing...But in terms of being accurate to the film, it looks like they've done a good job.

Inadia · #30 02-12-2010, 10:07 AM

I disagree, I think it looks utterly fantastic. I'm glad that Mez is back working on something that is comic book based.

I was saying that the figure wasn't done well I just said it looks dumb cuz it's not my cup of tea.

Well then perhaps its not dumb, its just not your cup of tea. That would have been a better way of wording it, but that's not important. I'm glad that Mezco will be doing figures from this film. I absolutely adore the comics.

hellachris · #33 02-14-2010, 02:01 PM

Well so far I'm a bit underwhelmed.

http://www.cooltoyreview.com/

It looks like fans of RZ's Halloween series will be happy. Some new Wolfman stuff too.

Neca hasn't revealed much horror stuff either, I'm hoping there will be some new pictures and information soon.

TCM Hitchhiker · #34 02-14-2010, 02:42 PM

Digging the Kick Ass figures.

The absence of 3.75 figures is disappointing....hope we will still see some more 3.75 CoF eventually.

BlankaFromRoomX · #35 02-14-2010, 03:14 PM

NO 7 inch Kick-Ass figures? Pass.....

Johnny Utah · #36 02-14-2010, 04:41 PM

Where's the Watchmen and Saw stuff?

Why are companies buying licences and just making Minimates?

TCM Hitchhiker · #37 02-14-2010, 07:33 PM

Those aren't 7" Kick Ass figures?

Inadia · #38 02-14-2010, 07:59 PM

I like what I have seen so far, but then again I am a varied collector, so the lack of horror licenses doesn't bother me, especially since the genre hasn't been as strong in recent years.

The Real Inadia

freddysnightmares · #39 02-14-2010, 08:37 PM

The 12 inch hobo myers sucks!!!!! Every other michael thing looks cool

Johnny Feldman · #40 02-14-2010, 08:53 PM

Lets get some things straight,

Mezco has always done designer vinyl. And actually, Mezco's urban vinyl line, "HOODZ" predates the company 'Kid Robot', not to mention their flagship products, the Dunnies and Munnies by SEVERAL years.

Yeah, it started in japan, but Mezco brought it to the US first.

and yeah mighy muggs pretty much ruined the whole market for those kind of things, but whatever, only pretentious hipsters collect designer toys anyway.
