Evil Dead 2 – Ash Williams One:12 Collective by Mezco – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on January 11, 2019 at 4:48 pm by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Mezco‘s horror themed One:12 Collective line gets a little extra groovy with the release of the Evil Dead 2 – Ash Williams One:12 Collective Figure. Hitting stores late last Fall, the 1/12 scale Ash figure is packed with movie themed accessories. Some of those pieces include swap out hands, a chainsaw, a boom stick, a severed Deadite Henrietta head and more. We grabbed the figure from Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, check out my photo gallery and thoughts on the release.

Evil Dead 2 – Ash Williams One:12 Collective Figure by Mezco

Pros

  • Good selection of accessories
  • Nice articulation
  • Cloth outfit looks really nice
  • Nice paint application
  • Parts are very easy to swap out

Cons

  • Resemblance to Bruce Campbell isn’t there
  • Outfit could use a few more tears

Overall
The Ash figure comes packed in a collector friendly window box, complete with a sleeve cover. It’s the sleeve that showcases a bit of art for Evil Dead, as well as photos of the figure and included accessories. It’s a basic package used in all of the One:12 releases, and will fit perfectly with any sealed collection of their figures. Ash sits in a plastic clamshell tray. The figure includes two Ash portraits, a Deadite Ash portrait, a severed Deadite Henrietta head, a severed Deadite hand, two interchangeable hands, a chainsaw hand, a shotgun, a Necronomicon, and a figure stand.

As part of the One:12 Collective line, Ash stands over 6.5″ tall, with a cloth outfit. The outfit is loose enough that it doesn’t hinder the range of motion of the figure. Ash has about 28 points of articulation. There’s no problems with the joints here. Since paint itself is fairly light on the body itself, there’s no real chance of the joints locking up.The areas that are painted are done so with great care. The chainsaw, especially, is great looking. The included hands and portraits all swap out very easily, but have a nice “snap” to them when connecting them to the figure. The chainsaw hand actually slides up the arm a bit, as opposed to snapping onto the the wrist peg. The shotgun can be placed in the holster on Ash’s back, and the included hands hold each of the items without much trouble. The Henrietta head and Ash’s severed hand make nice additions, but I do wish there was an easy way to display the severed head without just laying it on the ground.

The overall look of the figure is nice and does a decent job of representing Ash in the style. It’s not a perfect representation though. The head sculpts, while quite amazingly sculpted and painted, just don’t resemble a young Bruce Campbell that much. That’s a bit of a let down, especially because of how much detail they packed into these portraits. The outfit could also use a bit of extra wear and tear.

In the end, it comes down to what you want from the figure. If you are a NECA collector, then you likely have a more accurate version of Ash. If you’re more into the One:12 scale and style, then this is a good, if not a bit flawed, version of Ash. It’s fun to pose and does look solid in hand.

    Wow! Put that back in,it’s not done yet.
    Man,Mezco has the worst time with likenesses. Ghostbusters were awful last I saw. All that time,all that detail and they still let that out.

    Once again,neca is just perfection in my eyes. Keep trying Mezco.

    Honestly, it looks much better in person. Bought myself one about two months back and I love it. Great figure, detail is fantastic especially on the Deadite Ash head.

    Those headsculpts looks pathetic, besides the Deadite one. I dunno if Mezco credits their sculptors but I'd be ashamed to have my name attached to that.

    Honestly, as not great as the likeness is, several of the photos in this shoot REALLY make the likeness look pretty damn good. I mean really, these are some great shots!

    I got one of these. I try to buy every reasonably affordable Evil Dead/Army of Darkness figure I can get and I'm amazed to see how good the fabric on this looks for the scale it's in.I've seen 12" figures that don't wear fabric clothes as well as this does. One thing I did do was to use a clear drying fabric glue and a toothpick to edge the torn fabric to keep it from fraying further. It's a really nice figure and NECA could take some lessons from Mezco on cloth wearing figures as well as the interchangeable left hands, lol. This compared to the 8" Retro Ash is unfortunate in my eyes because the NECA Retro figure looks awkward and I never really liked the end result so for me, this blows my Retro figure away. Now if you compare the NECA 30th anniversary set to this you realize you just MAY have overpayed for the Mezco figure. This IS $70-$80 at retail...ouch! In perspective the NECA 30th anniversary boxed set is only $50-ish and the accessories are great like an opening necronomicon and a Kandarian Dagger, three great heads with excellent expressions on them AND it comes with an entire other figure, Deadite Ed with two different heads itself both with opening and closing mouths and a ton of articulation. Not saying I regret my Mezco purchase...since I didn't pay full price. I got mine on Amazon for $70 shipped and had an extra $30 off so $50 felt about right to me for what you get and it does still have a rather premium quality feel and look to it.

    I haven't read any issues at all with this figure except for the likeness not being great...but that price though. I guess what you're paying for is making sure none of these ship out with ANY real defects? In comparison the NECA 30th Anniversary set...I've seen a lot of assembly errors and badly painted heads for Ash. I bought two of those sets and another four loose Ash's online and I've had a lot of them come in with assembly, paint and factory damage issues here and there, but haven't read much of problems for the Mezco figure. Maybe that's the trade off for a lower retail price?

    It's a $25 figure vs. an $80 one. The comparison/expecting the same level of quality is silly.

    I'd argue that the NECA figure is the far better value overall.

    Yes I mentioned the prices in the comment I made and I never expected the quality to be at the same level for the prices, though even at $25...which I actually paid $30 for the retro figure, I'd say it's not much value regardless considering how poor the articulation at the time the figure was in stores actually was. No thigh rotation, bad hip design, only a forward and back ankle joint, no bicep joints, elbows barely bent and didn't even go at least 90 degrees, the clothes fit poorly with bulging joints pushing the fabric out... no the 8" Retro figure was actually kinda terrible, though they apparently fixed some issues with articulation on later figures, after three or four of the Retro figures I was done buying them.

    The 7" 30th anniversary figure is actually the best value over all for the prices. For just $20 more than the 8" Retro figure was at the time it was at retail and $20 to $30 less than the Mezco figure, you get three Ash heads, the deer head, the book, the dagger and Ed with another head and tons of articulation. Even just comparing the NECA figures, the retro figure has less value for what you get than their fully sculpted figures.

    If NECA just designed their retro bodies better at the time and kept their paint detail to the same level as their 7" figures there wouldn't be that much issue but they cheaped out and charged more than their 7" figures. Mezco is way overpriced but they got the cloth wearing figures right and it gives them the look of a bigger figure at an inch and a half shorter than the NECA Retro figure. If you can get the Mezco figure for less than $70 I'd say get it.
