Mezco One:12 Collective figures
There's a new line of figures coming out from Mezco which is trying to tap into the Hot Toys market. The scale is 1:12 or 6 inch scale figs. Would love to get into the 1:6 market like some of you are but space and money will not permit. At half the scale and with their first release being around 1/3ish of the price of a HT 1:6 (USD65) this one seemed perfect for me. Mezco promised all the articulation of a HT but scaled down in size. Big goal to reach but I think they delivered on this.
The first fig released is the Frank Miller styled Batman from The Dark Knight Returns. Came to the party late for this but after watching ebay prices soar and not seeing any stock at other online retailers I pulled the trigger on a locally available version. Actually worked out about right given the AUD after shipping.
Just had a quick play with it and here are some pics. There are 4 versions available. This is the black and grey retail version.
Comes decked out with a cloth costume and with many accessories like HT eg. Swapable head, hands, feet and some other goodies. Has 32 points of articulation and feels very sturdy and poseable.

My iPad camera and photo skills aren't so great so here's a set from someone else which I drooled over when looking for more info on this line.

In one of the interviews, Mezco mentioned that they had quite a number of properties licensed including the whole DCU so looking forward to more of the One:12 series.
Next up though for them is the other lawman:
