[Update: Reading is fundamental! I posted this thinking the sale was today, but it’s next week. Oops!]
I often miss living in NYC (rarely during the oppressive summers or freezing cold winters, though), and today is one of those days. Starting in a short while at Noon EST On Friday next week, Mezco is opening up their vault and making some unique items available for sale to collectors like you and me.
So if you’re in the Tri-State area, now’s next Friday the time to tell your boss that you’ve come down with a summer cold, and get your butt to Mezco in Long Island City and pick up some loot. I’d be there if I could!
Mezco Unlocks The Vault And Release Rare And One Of A Kind Items
New York – In a first of its kind event, Mezco Toyz is opening their vault and releasing items from their archives.
Mezco’s Test Shots usually end up ion public display at such institutions as The Museum Of The Moving Image, Geppi’s Entertainment Museum, or others. This is the only time the vault has ever been opened and multiple test shots made available to the public.
At the same time, Mezco will be offering a select number of out of production items, including items from it’s popular Scarface and Hellboy lines. “We get calls and emails about some of our discontinued items, like Notorious B.I.G., Heroes, Scarface, and others almost daily. This is an attempt to satisfy fans, pure and simple.

Most test shots will be priced in the $100-$200 range so they will be affordable to even the most thrifty collectors. Rare items will be offered at lower than expected prices as well. “This is truly a collector’s dream come true!” says Mezco’s resident artist/ ninja Rich Ford “Bring a truck and bring your credit card, because this is gonna be one heck of an event!”

, and that got me nostalgic for the first Hellboy movie, and that got me to break out the old Hellboy movie toys by Mezco – at least the ones that I could find. I’m sure the others will turn up, as I have some toy reorganizing to finish up in the next week or so, but for now, here’s some shots that I took. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did shooting them!
