Popeye One:12 Collective Figure by Mezco


That doesn't look anything like Robin Williams.
I ain't gonna lie that looks bad ass !
Seeing him actualized in highly detailed flesh tone is kind of creepy.
Love it. Pre-ordered it I did.
I LOVE that! such a weird concept but damn!
I know most people don't care about Popeye these days, but it was something I grew up with and still have some great collectibles from. I pre-ordered this, it's a no brainer. Not only is the sculpt killer, tons of accessories for display options. I really love all the Marvel and DC stuff Mezco is doing for the One 12 line, but I would love more random figures from random license like this. Can't wait.
I have to admit, I'm pretty tempted by this. I only have one Mezco One:12 and I'm not blown away by it, especially for the price. This, though, is one of those things I never knew I needed…until now!
The Mezco line is nice, don't get me wrong, but it's just not for me.
one of those things i'd love to own..but don't want to buy
The Mezco line is nice, don't get me wrong, but it's just not for me.
Yikes. This thing would give my kids nightmares.
I don’t get what all the pipes are for, they look awfully samey.
Old-timer that I am, Popeye will always have a soft spot in my nostalgic heart. Not sure what I think of the half realistic, half cartoon aesthetic, though. Still, I am mesmerized by these pics. I've waffled on many One:12 offerings, given their price tag. If this were south of $60, I'd pull the trigger for sure. Still may. And, yeah, I'm not seeing much difference in all the pipes. Seems one "smoking" and one not would be sufficient.
*edit* Unless they're just extras/spares. In which case, that's okay.
i prefer the cartoon version, which i now own
Google Hot Toys Popeye and you will see the statue that I think inspired the style of this figure. That Hot Toys statue sold out quickly and has a hefty aftermarket price. So some good number of collectors must dig the asthegics.
This is such a strange release but it's so well made, I almost want to buy it.
The smoke effects on his pipe look like miniature nuclear explosions. It's surprisingly appropriate for such a macho guy.
The is an absolutely incredible figure with all those accessories! I can't say enough about all the reasons this gets a preorder from me but mine is placed. It will be my first Mezco item and I can't wait to get it.
It also makes me excited about a future Bluto release.
I would almost order two of these for different poses
...and pre-ordered at BBTS. I didn't think I would have anyplace for him- but I think he might look right at home with my Storm Collectibles fighters!
Crazy Popeye figure!
This is something I’m sure a lot of people will be on the fence about. The cartoon is before my time, but I had a VHS of Popeye reruns when I was a kid, and I watched it quite a bit. It was so funny! If this was more of that cartoony Popeye, I’d be all in. This version is a bit creepy though, kind of reminds me of the gangsters from the “Dick Tracy” movie. Popeye merchandise can fetch a pretty penny though, I’m almost interested just so I have another investment. Mezco figures really can cost a lot, but they can cost a whole lot more when you have to buy from ebay. Hmmmm
3 Corncob pipes (fit into mouth of both heads)
3 Corncob pipes with smoke (fit into mouth of both heads)
My guess is one for each head (smoking and non smoking) and 2 loose pipes (smoking and non).
I would like to add though after looking at those photoshopped pictures they show his fisted hands with drawstrings in them, from his bag, AND the ships wheel in that fist. Now the OTHER pictures show those fisted hands as being completely closed. That is a little shady to me. Just take pictures of the figure. Don't try to make it do something it can't.
