Mezco Plans More One:12 Collective

The One:12 Collective line from Mezco that takes all the beauty and detail of 1:6th scale and shrinks it down to half the size is easily one of the most revolutionary lines released in the last few years.That said, it should come as no surprise that Mezco has got even more figures planned for the ambitious line that already spans a number of pop culture universes. The two latest figures to be joining this 6″ scale line are Darkseid of The DC Comics Universe, and Blade The Vampire Hunter from The Marvel Comics Universe! Mezco posted both up for pre-order this week and you can check out the full details for each below!

Darkseid

Darkseid, Overlord of Apokolips, joins the One:12 Collective.

The One:12 Collective Darkseid figure is the first ever fully articulated Poly-Stone figure featuring a newly created One:12 Collective body that encompasses his immense stone physique. Incorporating magnetically interchangeable faceplates and light-up Omega Beam eyes, Darkseid is primarily made of Poly-Stone with casted metal accents to achieve a level of authenticity never achieved with the character. The tyrannical New God is clothed in his signature royal tunic with a real metal helmet, chest plate, waist belt, and includes an Apokoliptian ceremonial cloak with an armored harness. His sentient Mother Box super-computer is also made from metal and magnetically stores on the back of his belt.

Darkseid, ruling dictator of the dystopian planet of Apokolips, seeks to abolish freewill and enslave all life in the universe. A being of unparalleled strength, intelligence and boundless evil, his divine powers make him not only a threat to the heroes of earth, but to every world within his grasp.

Blade

Blade, vampire hunter of the Marvel Universe, joins the One:12 Collective.

The One:12 Collective Blade figure features two intricately detailed head portraits:  an unwelcoming scowl and a bloodcurdling roar. No details were overlooked when designing the infamous daywalker. His outfit boasts a leather-like black trench coat with an integrated wire for dynamic posing, as well as a tailored three-quarter sleeve t-shirt and motorcycle style pants. Blade comes well-equipped to hunt down creatures of the night with accessories including a customized submachine gun with removable magazines, a pump action shotgun, his signature sword with removable sheath, collapsible throwing blades, striking stakes, and of course, sunglasses.

Eric Brooks was being born when a vampire attacked his mother during childbirth, passing on a series of enzymes that transformed Eric into a Dhampir – a being tainted by a vampire’s kiss, but not converted. Now infused with all of a vampire’s powers but few of their weaknesses and determined to avenge his mother’s death, Eric Brooks arms himself with weapons that are fatal to the undead and fashioned himself into the vampire hunter known as Blade.

I Want To Believe

Fox’s ‘The X-Files’ may have finally come to it’s true ending with the latest season finale, but that doesn’t mean the world is done with Mulder and Scully just yet! A few months back the team at ThreeZero announced their all new 1:6th scale Agent Fox Mulder figure, and now after months of waiting with bated breath, they have finally announced their companion figure of Agent Dana Scully! No real details are available for their upcoming Dana Scully figure beyond a teaser image, although we will likely be seeing some more details trickling out soon. Still, this teaser is at least enough to let us know the truth is out there!

The Funko Forecast

Get ready for the Funko Forecast! This is where we’re going to be showcasing all of the cool new announcements and reveals from Funko! With all of the awesome that consistently seems to be flowing out of those guys, it shouldn’t be hard to keep this section alive each and every week!

Funko Subscription Boxes Find New Homes

Earlier this year Funko shocked collectors everywhere when they announced the cancellation of their four mystery box subscription services. These mystery boxes were previously available to have shipped to your home every other month and would include 100% exclusive Funko items you couldn’t get anywhere else including special POP! Vinyls, Tee Shirts, Mugs, and a variety of other collectibles! The four subscription boxes were each themed around a major pop culture phenomenon with crates like ‘Collector Corps’ for Marvel Comics fans, ‘Legion Of Collectors’ for DC Comics fans, ‘Smugglers Bounty’ for Star Wars fans, and ‘Disney Treasures’ which is self explanatory.

While these subscription service boxes were plagued with issues (subscription renewal issues, shipping problems, poor customer service, the list goes on), collectors were devastated at the announcement that these boxes were coming to an end. Lucky for us that it looks like things may not be as bad as they first seemed! This week Funko has announced that they have found a home for at least two of these boxes to be able to continue in a new form!

Details are still emerging on exactly how the new subscriptions would work, but Funko has announced that the Marvel themed ‘Collector Corps’ box will be continuing through Amazon.com, while their ‘Disney Treasures’ box will be continuing through Hot Topic. Unfortunately there isn’t any word as to where the ‘Smugglers Bounty’ or ‘Legion of Collectors’ boxes may end up at, but speculation is running wild that one of them will likely end up at Gamestop and whichever doesn’t end up there will probably land at either Target or Walmart. Only time will tell!

More Merc With A Mouth

It there’s one thing Deadpool fans can’t get enough of, it’s the ‘Merc With A Mouth’ himself! As always, Funko is happy to oblige and has announced a number of new Deadpool retailer exclusive POP! Vinyls that are expecting to hit stores just in time for the upcoming ‘Deadpool 2’ to hit theaters this summer! Each of these new POP! Vinyls will be available exclusively at one major retailer, so be sure you’re hitting the right stores to find what you want! The latest announced Deadpool POP! Vinyls are Chicken Deadpool (Amazon), Cheerleader Deadpool ((Box Lunch), King Deadpool (FYE), Samurai Deadpool (Gamestop), Chimichanga Deadpool (7-11), Pandapool (Hot Topic; Flocked Chase Variant also available), and Mermaid Deadpool (Target; Metallic Chase Variant also available). These will be in stores before you know it so keep your eyes peeled!

The Next Big Thing From Funko

With all of the hub bub surrounding ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ this year, it’s easy to forget that we still have ‘Antman & The Wasp’ hitting theaters this July as well! Of course the team at Funko hasn’t forgotten and has just announced their full product lines for the film which includes new PP! Vinyls and POP! Keychains! In the main POP! Vinyls line collectors can look for Antman, The Wasp, and the new villain Ghost! Antman and The Wasp will both have ‘Unmasked’ chase variants available, while Ghost will have a ‘Translucent’ variant that is available exclusively at Walmart stores. The POP! Keychains line consists of Antman and The Wasp, which is great considering that they’d fit right in as their shrunken selves in your POP! collection if you took the keychain attachment out of their heads. These are due out this summer!

Something Has Survived

In just a few short weeks the latest film in the ‘Jurassic Park’ series, ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’, will be released in theaters! As always, the team at Funko have been doing their best to get us excited for the new movie with an all new line of POP! Vinyls! We had previously showcased Owen, Claire, and Blue as they had been announced back at New York Toy Fair in February, but this week Funko pulled back the curtain to reveal a number of new POP! Vinyls for this line! For the main ‘Jurassic World’ line, fans can look forward to Stygimoloch and the Indoraptor being available at most retailers! There are also two new Target exclusive POP! Vinyls coming our way with a POP! of Owen with Baby Blue and a massive 10″ Super Deluxe POP! Vinyl of the Tyrannosaurus Rex! There is no set release date for any of these figures, although it’s anticipated that they will be releasing around the same time the film hit’s theaters this June.

And with that, we bring this week’s Toy News Tuesday to a close! What do you think about the new items announced this week? Do you plan on picking up anything we mentioned in this week’s column? Are there any lines or brands you’d like to see more coverage of? Let us know in the comments section below!
