San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mezco DC Universe Mez-Itz

Mezco was one of my most anticipated stops I had to make on Preview Night at San Diego Comic-Con, primarily for their new line-up of DC Universe Mez-Itz. I’m guessing that a lot of AFP readers aren’t into urban vinyl figures, but I challenge you to look upon these works and rejoice!

While these will see broad release through Diamond and specialty stores, they’ll likely not hit mass market retailers like Toys R Us – because Mattel has such a lock on DC as the master license holder, Mezco had to carve out a very specific niche to be able to produce these.

I’m glad they did. As I’ve said many times, these are compatible with Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs, but the ball-jointed head takes them a step further in the poses and resulting character these emanate. And the designs are a home run – I must have that Sinestro, now!

We also hit DC Direct on Preview Night – our focus was mainly on the Batman: Arkham Asylum and Green Lantern-oriented figures. Lanterns will continue to be a strong theme for DCD, and we’ll have to go back to get a look at their non-figure oriented stuff – lots of cool rings and lantern pieces to be had.

But for now, let’s start with the figures, and the line I’ve been itching to see up close.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Seeing these up close, I’m really impressed how they leveraged the 3d assets from game development to produce some extremely detailed sculpts. I’m hard pressed to pick a standout here, but I think Harley takes it. The articulation, as you might expect, is limited by today’s super-articulated standards, and both versions of Batman are the low points for me.

It’s Preview Night at San Diego Comic-Con, and although I’m exhausted from the sheer excitement of it all, I couldn’t go to sleep without posting our first look at Masters of the Universe Classics. No, there wasn’t much, if anything new, but I was still excited to see some items that we’d only seen the backside of, like that hairy beast Grizzlor.

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Hasbro Marvel Display – Video

We’ve got a ton more pictures of the all of the Hasbro Marvel figures – we already posted the Marvel Legends pics, and still have Marvel Universe and Iron Man to go. But it’s late, so here’s a little video to whet your appetites. In it, you’ll see the Marvel Universe singles, comic 2-packs, and the Marvel Legends 2-packs. Enjoy!

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Mattel DC Universe Classics

San Diego Comic-Con’s Preview Night seems to be just as crowded as a weekend at the Con, but we took time to admire the DC Universe Classics figures on display. The showcase was a diorama of the Hall of Justice, with the heroes on the right and the villains on the left.
