Mezco Announces DC Comics Universe Mez-Itz

We had previously asked Mattel if the Attitubes they showed at San Diego Comic-Con last year were coming, because we hadn’t been too jazzed with DC Direct’s Blammoids! offerings thus far.

Looks like the urban vinyl license for DC was still up for grabs, and I’m tremendously psyched by this announcement, in which Mezco will producing Mez-Itz for DC Universe characters. Check out my review of the Mez-Itz Comic Hellboy to see why.

Mezco Toyz To Create Mez-Itz Line For DC Comics Universe

New York- Mezco Toyz is proud to announce that is has signed a deal with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Comics, to create Mez-Itz, Mezco’s signature designer vinyl brand.
