Batman and Joker Mez-Itz Now Available for Pre-Order

A couple of weeks ago we found DC Universe Mez-Itz listed on the Mezco web store. They just made them available for pre-order. The Batman and Joker are available in a 2-pack for $40 and will ship around San Diego Comic-Con. They’ll also be available for purchase at the Con.

I’m very psyched about these. Mez-Itz are scale-compatible with Hasbro’s Mighty Muggs, and also feature a ball-joint at the neck – you can get some great poses other vinyl figures without that won’t be able to manage.

The Kick-Ass Bundle that includes Mez-Itz and keychains is also available for pre-order.

The Batman & Joker 6inch Mez-Itz two pack, which is a summer exclusive that will be revealed at SDCC, is available for pre-order now at

in July they will also be available at SDCC 2010.

Mezco 12-Inch Green Hornet and Kato

The Green Hornet (and Kato, of course) is more my older brother’s thing than mine – I hadn’t been born yet when it was on the air, and the Batman TV series got a lot more airtime in replays. Although produced by the same team, the Green Hornet played it straight while Batman camped it up – so I’ll have to find out how my brother feels about Seth Rogen in the role.

In any case, the toys are coming. These are the 12-inchers, and I’m not sure if Mezco will also be making ones that fit in with the 7-inch scale that’s prevalent for movie properties.

Green Hornet 1/6 Scale 12inch Figures

Mezco 12inch 1/6th scale figures are based on the characters from the upcoming big budget tent pole film from Sony Pictures. The Green Hornet, due to release January 2011. A classic character of film, television, radio, and comic books returns to the big screen in Columbia Pictures’ feature film The Green Hornet, starring Seth Rogen as the vigilante crime-fighter. The film will be based upon “The Green Hornet” radio series created by George W. Trendle.

The 12 inch figures feature amazing attention to detail, perfectly capturing both the actor’s likenesses as well as the spirit of the characters.

The Green Hornet features 11 points of articulation, as well as an alternate right hand, gas gun, and real cloth coat. Kato features 9 points of articulation, and an alternate right hand with gun.

Both figures are packaged in a collector friendly window box.

The Green hornet and Kato ship in November 2010 and are available for pre-order at http://www.mezcotoyz.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=862

Mezco San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive DC and Kick-Ass Mez-Itz Preview Pics

We’re probably jumping the gun, because there’s been no official announcement from them yet, but when Mezco announced they would be making Mez-Itz for the DC Universe, we had to go poking around – especially after they said they’d have an exclusive 2-pack with the Batman and Joker.

Here’s what we found. Awesome! (And stay tuned for official word, coming soon.)

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. The deal gives Mezco Toyz full access to the massive DC Universe of characters as well as specific movies, including world-famous superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the vast array of villains associated with these iconic heroes.

The first characters to be revealed to the public will be Batman and The Joker.

The Dark Knight and The Clown Prince of Crime will make their debut at San Diego Comic Con in June 2010; the exclusive two pack of 6inch Mez-Itz is based on the classic comic book characters.

“I’ve been a DC fan since I picked up my first comic book many years ago. To have access to the DC Universe and the ability to recreate these iconic heroes and villains as Mez-itz is a dream come true!’ said Mezco President Michael “Mez” Markowitz

Mezco Toyz plans to release several waves of Mez-Itz each year in a variety of sizes. They will announce the next wave of DC characters at San Diego Comic Con.

Mez-Itz, rotocast vinyl collectibles are cool by design. They features five points of articulation, amazing graphics from Mezco’s award winning design team, and are often packaged in a collector friendly window box.

Kick-Ass Figure Set Available for Pre-Order at Mezco Direct

I never finished the Kick-Ass comic, but people keep telling me I should – and the movie is getting some great buzz too. The figures aren’t as articulated as I’d like. Mezco delivered some great figures in their Hellboy movie lines that were highly articulated, so while the sculpts look great, I want more from my super heroes. You can get this set for $30, and it should ship in October.

“Kick-Ass”, the action-adventure movie from Lionsgate and Matthew Vaughn, is a twisted high-octane adventure that redefines the “super hero” genre, based on the popular comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.

Kick-Ass, a.k.a. Dave Lizewski is an average teenager and avid comic-book fan, who decides to become a real-life superhero, Kick-Ass! With no actual super powers, his life is forever changed as he encounters the violent, real-crime world of common thugs, drug lords and underworld mobsters.

Kick-Ass 1/12 scale 6” action figure that captures the essence of “Kick-Ass” armed with two billy-clubs, and wearing signature suit and mask.

Hit-Girl, a.k.a. Mindy Mc Cready is an 11 year-old pig-tailing wearing waif with the fighting skills of a ninja. This little super hero proves she has some real kick- ass skills.

The 1/12 Scale action figure features Hit-Girl in her signature plaid skirt, purple wig and cape. Armed with a pair of butterfly knives, and her double Gitano bladed mindy stick.

Set of 2 includes 1 Kick-Ass/ 1 Hit-Girl.

Ships October 2010.
