I love Mezco Toyz – they’ve made some of my favorite action figures with the Hellboy movie and comic lines. Now they’ve got a handful of pop culture licenses, with a range of items like large scale Thundercats to 2-inch Mez-Itz from The Dark Knight franchise. I’ve got a 6-inch Wonder Woman Mez-Itz (she is awesome) that I should be taking some pics of when I get back home. To my buddy Airmax – thanks again!
Here’s some quick Mezco pics, including Earthworm Jim, ThunderCats, and DC Universe Mez-Itz.

It’s San Diego Comic-Con, and to get you the pics you want as fast as I can, I’m hooking you into my spanking new Instagram feed. If you’re on Instagram, follow me at afpron – that’s for AFP Ron, not AF Pron :). Stay tuned for better pictures soon.
Mezco has announced its summer exclusives, and I’m glad to see more DC Mez-Itz on their way. Headlining the announcements are a 20-inch Batman from the Dark Knight Nolan-verse and a 6-inch Wonder Woman. I will be picking WW up for sure. Rounding out the announcements are a Catwoman Mez-Itz keychain, Thundercats Mumm-Ra 2-pack, a quartet of Living Dead Dolls, and an Earthworm Jim exclusive that will be sure to please fans of the game.
I have been a big fan of Mezco from back when they were making Hellboy action figures from the movies and comics. But that time was a very different environment for toy manufacturers – today, it’s much harder for a smaller company to navigate through the tougher economic conditions and the shift to bigger licensing deals. Sure, Mezco has the Living Dead Dolls to keep them going, but I was really psyched when they were able to carve out a niche in the DC license to make Mez-Itz.

Mezco has announced that its first Mez-Itz from its DC Universe license will be Hal Jordan and Sinestro from the upcoming movie starring Ryan Reynolds. I had been wondering what had happened to this line since picking up the Batman and Joker set at San Diego Comic-Con – glad to see some DC Mez-Itz planned, even if it’ll be May before they hit shelves.
