Blindly Boxed Evil: Our Living Dead Dolls Figurine Review

Posted 11/22/11 12:00 pm ET by Lemonjuice McGee in Mezco Toyz, Reviews, Toys

Blind-boxed toys are both extremely popular right now AND incredibly addicting. Not knowing what toy you'll open up can cause fits in some as the buy up entire cases of toys from Kid Robot, Disney Vinylmation, etc., in order to score the one little bobble they have their toy-lovin' eye on! Well, our friends at Mezco Toyz have thrown their hats in the ring with the release of the new Living Dead Dolls Figurines. Are these new toys as cute as vinyl releases from other companies? Are they as horrifyingly creepy as the Living Dead Dolls? Could they possibly be both?! Read on to find out as we review these tiny, addictive wonders.

Review: Mezco Brings the Batmobile to Their Mez-Itz Line!

Posted 11/4/11 10:58 am ET by Lemonjuice McGee in Mezco Toyz, Reviews, Toys

We're currently snatching up any and all Bat-related merchandise due, in large part, to our addictions to Batman: Arkham City and DC Comics' Batman line from their New 52. While we have lots of intricately detailed and/or super articulated versions of the Dark Knight and his Bat-Family, our collection was lacking a little something-- and we think we've found it in the guise of Mezco Toyz' Batman Mini Mez-Itz w/ Batmobile set! Join us as we take a look at this cute Caped Crusader and his sweet, vinyl ride!

Mezco Reveals Green Lantern SDCC Exclusive 2-Pack!

Posted 6/6/11 3:36 pm ET by Lemonjuice McGee in Mezco Toyz, San Diego Comic-Con, Toys

San Diego Comic Con is almost upon us! As the big show gets closer, companies are revealing more and more of their exclusives. Mezco Toyz, makers of the recently reviewed Green Lantern Mez-Itz will have a DC Universe Mez-Itz Green Lantern & Sinestro Comic Version 2-Pack at SDCC for all you fans of ring-slinging vinyl figures!

Mez-Itz, 6" rotocast vinyl collectibles that are cool by design. Both GREEN LANTERN and SINESTRO feature five points of articulation with 1000 points of fun, and are packaged in sturdy, collector friendly box!

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. But when a new enemy threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans. But Hal has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may become the greatest GREEN LANTERN of all.

This is a non-numbered limited edition item. Edition size TBD.

This item will premiere at the 2011 San Diego Comic Con, but is also available online at :

Mezco Toyz Gets It Together... for SDCC!

Posted 6/3/11 11:30 am ET by Lemonjuice McGee in Mezco Toyz, San Diego Comic-Con, Toys

Mezco Toyz listens to their fans. In this particular case, it was fans of Scott Pilgrim and the lack of weather-conscious outerwear seen in the figure releases. During this year’s American International Toy Fair, Mezco had Scott on display wearing his blue jacket with exceptionally furry collar. Due to logistics, the coat had to be scrapped when it came time for release. However, thanks to fan demand (and our review?) Mezco is releasing a limited edition version of Scott at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con!

Mezco Toyz is no stranger to adding soft goods to their figures, as evidenced by their amazing comic-accurate Hellboy line, and we’re sure Scott’s jacket will be up to snuff as he fights off any Evil Ex or super-villain that you pit him against! As you can see, with the addition of the yellow shirt he looks just as he did on the cover of Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life by creator Bryan Lee O'Malley.

Hal Jordan and Sinestro Mez-Itz from Mezco Toyz

Posted 6/1/11 10:49 am ET by Lemonjuice McGee in Mezco Toyz, Reviews, Toys

In Brightest Day or Blackest Night, these Green Lantern Mez-Itz are ready to put fear into the hearts of any designer vinyl troublemakers that might be lurking on your shelf! However, if these Mez-Itz are going up against some of our full-fledged action figures… well, those big ol’ heads are just gonna be ripe for the beatings! We love ring-slingers around here though, so no worries about physical harm to Hal or Sinestro. Mezco Toyz has managed to keep their Mez-Itz brand up and running for years and have perfected their stylized take on the characters they tackle. Did they keep to the trend with these green-hued cosmic cops? Join us as we take a look at these arch-enemies during their beginning stint as friends and colleagues from the new live action Green Lantern film and find out for yourself!

Behind the Scenes with Lion-O and Mezco Toyz

Posted 5/27/11 9:38 am ET by Lemonjuice McGee in Animation, Mezco Toyz, Toys

Remember when we released the exclusive first look at Mezco Toyz' 18” Lion-O figure? Seeing it for the first time was the equivalent of getting hit in the face with a pile of pure cocaine unicorn glitter! Then, we got up close and personal with that red-haired piece of badass plastic at this year’s Toy Fair and were blown away by how good it looked. Now we’re patiently waiting to get one into our grubby, ThunderCats lovin’ mitts!

What we generally don’t stop to think about is the sheer amount of talent and painstaking work that goes on behind the scenes to create something like this. Well, Mezco Toyz has decided to school us by taking us through some of the behind-the-scenes processes of bringing the epic-sized leader of the ThunderCats to the general public!
