Mezco Announces New Line of Super Articulated 6-Inch Figures

Posted on July 22, 2014at 1:55 pmby Joe Mooreunder DC Toy News, Horror Toy News

We just received a press release from Mezco Toyz. They have announced a new line of killer looking, highly articulated 6″ figures. They will be known as the One:12 Collective. and will combine over 32 points of articulation with real cloth outfits and meant to echo the style and details of 1/6 scale figures, but at a more reasonable size. The figures will include display bases and accessories.

Current licenses signed up for the One:12 Collective are DC Universe, Judge Dredd, Classic Universal Monsters, and a few more that haven’t been named just yet. The first figure revealed is “The Dark Knight Returns” Batman, which will be fully revealed at San Diego Comic-Con. The figure is an amazing looking representation of Frank Miller’s iconic take on Batman. It will come in black and gray or blue and gray costumes.

Mezco was kind enough to send along some fantastic shots of Batman. You can see them (right click and “View Image” or save to see full size), and the full press release, after the jump. Be sure to check back in a few days to see our coverage of Mezco at SDCC.

Mezco Reveals The One:12 Collective

New York- (July 22nd, 2014)- Mezco Toyz today announced The One:12 Collective, a new line of high end 6″ scale collectable figures.

Redesigning the 6″ scale figure category by combining posable action figures with real cloth outfitting, in a similar fashion to the 1/6th scale and larger collectables. Mezco’s One:12 Collective line will present a multitude of different characters from numerous brands.

Combining superior sculpting with an abundance of articulation, the One:12 Collective figures feature over 32 points of articulation, capable of over 40,000 possible poses: combining form and function to create a remarkably realistic aesthetic. Digitally sculpted by the industry’s finest artists and painstakingly engineered by Mezco’s production team is a state of the art collectable that holds up to real play.
The costuming is meticulously tailored and uses specially selected materials to create the highest standard of outfitting and drapery at the 6″ scale. Fabrication, color, drapery, comparative scale and mobility are all closely considered to bring the finest attire achievable.

Every One:12 Collective figure will include a display base as well as a multitude of accessories. These accessories are designed to have a “real world” look to further make the figure seem like it has truly come to life. These accessories, also precisely crafted, range from changeable parts to character specific weapons, equipment and props.

Currently planned for the One:12 Collective are characters from The DC Universe, Judge Dredd, Classic Universal Monsters, and some other surprises to be announced in the future.

Mezco President, Mez Markowitz declared “We are all very excited with the One:12 Collective line. I think we are offering a fantastic product that both satisfies the customers desire for articulation as well as the ability to hide it all in a extremely realistic way. Another great aspect to the line is that we are striving to present high quality product that is in line with 1/6th scale (12″ figure) collectables while taking up far less display space and at a much more reasonable price point. Our Dark Knight Returns Batman figure is really a fantastic piece and we cannot wait to show what is up next. Mezco plans on releasing several items a year from this line and it is a long term initiative for our team, really a dream come true for all of us here.”

The One:12 Collective “The Dark Knight Returns” Batman figure is set to be publicly revealed at San Diego Comic Con at Mezco booth # 3445 and shipping to customers in Fall 2014.

    Not a huge fan of mego styled figures, but that Batman is flipping sweet! I can't wait to see the Judge Dredd! Hopefully they'll give us the movie and comic versions!

    That looks pretty sweet. Since they're starting off with a TDKR Batman, hopefully that means they have a Carrie Kelley in the works too. I doubt they will, but it would be cool to see some DC movie figures like this, like Batfleck.

    I wouldn't be interested in a comic version, but I would be interested in a Carl Urban movie Dredd.

    I don't know, the cloth doll thing kinda turns me off. I guess it work for those of you who had dolls like these back in the 70s. The 6" Mattel DKR Batman works for me though.

    That looks terrible. This is why cloth clothing and capes do not work on 6 inch toys.

    Don't know what you're seeing but this looks great. It may just be because it's a prototype so I'll be curious to see how good a production version looks but this looks as good to me as the 12 inch DC Direct stuff does...granted this prototype may actually BE 12 inches tall so, we'll see. Lord knows NECA hasn't exactly nailed the "Mego" style yet.

    I don't know man, the cape on my mafex Batman looks pretty dang nice.

    I'll admit the arms out poses have me a bit worried but I'm still excited by the other licenses like Dredd & Universal monsters. This fall will be the death of me.

    These are freaking awesome. I'm not a big enough TDKR fan to plunk down cash for this despite how good it looks, but as soon as they show off a more standard Batman and a couple of sidekicks then I'm sure they'll have my money.

    i dont see the mego style people are refering to, i see this as being more a mini-hot toys rather than mego, anyways awesome figure and i would get the blue one with the rifle (since i assume they are variants and not intercheangeble accesories.

    I see horrible looking clothing on a toy that should not have clothing. And I do not understand your MEGO and NECA comment. MEGO toys suck!!

    The only thing Mego-ish about this is the fact that it's a plastic figure wearing a cloth outfit. That said, Mego is more about a specific oldschool look of "action figure". You know, those dolls toy companies marketed towards boys.

    Assuming they do more iterations of Batman, I would kinda like to see them do a Hush Batman. That said, I kinda hope we see some new 52 designs at some point.

    It'll be interesting to see if they even do New 52 figures at all, considering the majority of those redesigns are armor and not spandex. I guess they could maybe use some type of rubber for the suits? regardless, I'm definitely hoping for a Jim Lee Batman of some type.

    I wonder what kind of Judge Dredd will be made? 3A are making a comic inspired one. Planet Replicas is making a line of statues (based on classic Dredd artists) so have Mezco seen a gap in the market and are making Karl Urban Dredd?

    I see well done cloth that looks really good (so far) on a figure that at the sale it's at shouldn't probably look that good. You want plastic Mattel and NECA are there for you...though they are also doing retro toys and as for that, the "Mego" part of this is more in reference to the build characteristics, not the quality and styling. Basic body forms (sort of since I can't imagine them reusing the DKR Batman body on say Judge Dredd) with plastic molded hands, boots and heads on a 7 to 8 inch scale. If you don't understand that I don't know what you're doing on a toy forum. It's the reason NECA called their Retro line a "Retro" like to begin with as it's a direct reference to toys put out by Mego back in the 70's.

    See above. It's not that this is LITERALLY styled to look like a toy put out by Mego in the 70's like how Funko is doing their own "Kenner" styled 3.75 inch 80's figures for example, this is "Mego" styled because it's built with a similar construction and scale in mind. Mego did this to be less expensive than the 12 inch figures being released at the time. While Mezco and NECA are obviously detailing their versions a lot more, it's a similar situation to stuff like Hot Toys in that these are smaller, less expensive yet "quality" alternatives to the current 12 inch figures HT is putting out.

    Me, I'm curious. I'll be interested to see just how close the production figure looks to the prototype...I may not actually BUY them mind you as I'm not really interested in buying another scale where cloth replaces sculpting just so we can double the price. Sure, $30 is a far cry from $200 or $300 for a Hot Toys piece but when I can get fully detailed sculpting for $15, why buy the $30 just to get cloth? I only ever bought NECA's Evil Dead 2 offerings and THAT is only because it's Evil Dead.

    I see some people complaining, not sure why....this blows ANYTHING Mattel has done out of the water,,,,,and MAYBE for these companies to step up.

    THIS IS CALLED AN ACTION FIGURE GAME CHANGER!!!

    LITERALLY GAME CHANGER!!!!

    Six inch cloth action figures is the next logical step and I hope Mezco can carry the TOy Biz torch....since Toy BIz lost the legends license action figure evolution has stalled. We actually have gone backwards. Lost articulation, lost paint detailing and shading, lost finger and toe joints and lost REAL BAF's.

    Not sure how people can claim nonsense like this is a bad thing. Only thing that worries me is, will DC allow them to do pre 52 stuff and movie figures and such....the ones fans actually care about?

    Looks good, it's a game changer, viva la Mezco.

    This is very good looking.
    That being said, I already purchased enough Batman figures for this lifetime and probably the next, so I'll pass. But OTOH, I'll sure get anything Judge Dredd, comics version, Karl Urban Dredd, even a Stallone Dredd, yep!! And a Lawmaster bike please!!

    Mezco's approach to Frank Miller's Dark Knight seems more lighthearted and nostalgic than that taken previously by DC Collectibles. The new face sculpt looks more 'cranky' than 'furious.' The old solid-plastic DCC figure suffered from a deformed gimp leg, making the figure nearly impossible to stand, but its gritty facial expression was a ringer for Miller's angriest panel illustration. IMO, the new doll-like construction with better articulation and 'ornery' expression constitutes a superior homage. That said, I lean toward the blue version in the promotional prototype photos, so will wait for its release in order to compare and contrast the final products. Rgds
