One:12 Collective Batman Exploded View Image

Posted on December 19, 2014 at 10:13 am by Joe Moore under DC Toy News

Back in July, Mezco surprised collectors by announcing an all new line of highly articulated collectible figures; the One:12 Collective line. To introduce us to the line, Mezco revealed the first figure, which was a Batman based on Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. The One:12 Collective Figures fall somewhere between the look of traditional 1/6 scale figures and retro Mego style designs. They feature the high level of articulation and cloth outfits you would expect in 1/6 scale figures, but are scaled down to about 6” tall. At this size, it keeps the price low for fans who want the look and feel of the much more expensive 1/6 scale figures, but don’t want to sacrifice the bells and whistles that those lines offer.

The Dark Knight Returns Batman alone features over 32 points of articulation and includes numerous accessories. The figures includes an alternate head sculpt, four sets of interchangeable hands, interchangeable boots, a removable utility belt, a pistol, a grappling hook, and a figure stand with Bat-symbol base. That’s an impressive array of accessories for the roughly $65 price tag online retailers are listing it for. The Batman figure is also coming in multiple colors. Right now, there are three versions revealed, giving fans a chance to own the version that suits their tastes. These include the iconic black and gray outfit, a Previews Exclusive retro style blue and gray costume and a Special Limited Version featuring a navy blue and gray costume.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2014, we got our first in person look at the Batman Figures. We also got our first news of the next figures in the line. They had announcement cards revealing that we would get a comic version of Judge Dredd and a Michael Keaton Batman. While we haven’t yet seen the 1989 Batman, we did finally see the awesome looking Judge Dredd in October during our coverage of Mezco’s New York Comic-Con 2014 Display. Like the Batman, the Dredd figure features a highly articulated body, a cloth outfit, interchangeable hands, numerous weapons and a themed figure base. Fans were especially pleased with the Judge Dredd design. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for the line.

Mezco has shared with us an exclusive, behind-the-scenes style look at the upcoming Dark Knight Returns Batman Figure. This “exploded” x-ray style view gives us a look at how the figures will be assembled. It also gives a look at where and how the alternate pieces will connect. As you can see, the figure has no shortage of articulation points. Articulation ranges from ball joints to hinge joints and features the much loved ab/torso articulation for truly dynamic poses. Read on to check out the image as well as a bunch of other official images showcasing the figures and a cool shot of the figure displayed in Times Square, NY.

You can also view all of our One:12 Collective Coverage for more info. Keep an eye on Mezco’s One:12 Collective Landing Page to pre-order upcoming items.

    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
