ONE:12 Collective X-Force Deadpool/Wolverine & Symbiote Spider-Man!

Earlier this week, Mezco Toyz threw Marvel collectors a curveball when they announced and opened up pre-orders for not one, not two, but three Previews Exclusive ONE:12 Collective Marvel figures! While the trio of PX exclusive figures went up for order earlier this week with only low-res photos available, Mezco has now unleashed glorious glam shots of Black Costume Spider-Man, X-Force Deadpool and X-Force Wolverine!

While they’re at a much higher price-point than Marvel Legends (about 400% higher), the Hot Toys-quality ONE:12 Collective 6″ figures have already began building a humongous following of collectors.

So even though only a handful of new characters will be released in 2017, fans of Marvel ONE:12 Collective have been very vocally receptive to these new Previews Exclusive variants, which are apparently being welcomed with open arms!

Along with a variety of new guns (including a rocket launcher!), X-Force Deadpool also has two alternate heads–including one with an awesome half-pulled up mask!

With the huge variety of extras coming with the exclusive Deadpool X-Force variant, this figure really does feel like a steal.

ONE 12 Collective Exclusive X-Force Deadpool Variant FigureWhile the red costume is infinitely more recognizable and iconic, the more “mature” Uncanny X-Force costume is a popular iteration–and I think the soft goods actually look better in grey than in signature red.

X-Force Wolverine ONE 12 Collective Mezco FigureAlthough Logan hasn’t appeared in this costume for a while due to being, well… dead… the black and silver X-Force costume is still quite popular. (Although if we don’t still see a Yellow Tiger Stripe Wolverine released as an exclusive later this year, I will be absolutely astonished.)

Last–and least liked by most collectors on the Internet–is ONE:12 Collective Black Suit Spider-Man (since the costume is made of cloth and not organic oozy matter, I don’t much like calling him Symbiote Spider-Man).

This is actually the figure in this series that I’m most interested in, as Black Suit Spider-Man is a collecting focus of mine. Some collectors think this is a bit of a dud, as the costume is really simplistic, but that’s one of the primary things I love about this Spidey costume. To me, it looks great.

It’s a pretty basic figure, but I really love this Spidey–he just may be my favorite Mezco Marvel figure so far, and I think he’s going to look phenomenal on display.

EE and WoozyMoo are both offering free shipping, which is the best offer around for these variants.

Now that you’ve seen the hi-res official photos, what do you think of the three specialty store exclusives, Marvel collectors? Will you be ordering any of these variants instead of (or in addition to) the regular versions, or are these secondary costumes just not iconic enough to catch your attention?

  1. I feel these figures lack a slickness and scream homemade. Marvel legends in my opinion are better figures at a lower price point. Plus, that earlier release of wolverine was just hideous.
