When it comes to Cyclops costumes, I’m a Jim Lee guy all the way. So even though it was inevitable that we’d get a variant of him from Mezco Toyz, they were going to have to really do something special to get another purchase from me. And dangit—I think they’ve done just that! Basically everything I wanted that was missing from the Jim Lee Version is all present and accounted for with the new PX Exclusive ONE:12 Collective Classic Cyclops figure that’s now up for PO!

Being a Mezco ONE:12 Collective Marvel collector ain’t easy. The majority of the regular releases tend to sell out and increase in price before they ever ship, and the various Mezco and convention exclusives tend to skyrocket in price after they pop up with no warning and sell out in an hour. Marvel ONE:12 Collective is a toy line where demand exceeds supply more often than not—and the latest example of this is the exclusive Homemade Suit Spider-Man figure that came and sold out earlier today…

It’s looking more and more like it might be a slow year for Marvel NYCC 2018 Exclusives, with next to nothing announced thus far for the show. But one company that will be bringing the goods for Marvel collectors next month is Mezco Toyz, who just revealed their first (and perhaps only) New York Comic Con 2018 exclusive last night. Now that the classic version is sold out just about everywhere, the exclusive ONE:12 Collective First Appearance Doctor Strange is ready to appear!

The old Toybiz X-Men Series 1 Cyclops figure was one of the very first X-Men toys I ever bought in my life, so I’ve loved Cyclops figures with light-up visors ever since I was a kid. Hasbro has made some very nice Marvel Legends Cyclops figures over the last few years, but none of them have featured that cool, no-brainer action feature. But Mezco Toyz just may have cooked up the ultimate Jim Lee Cyke: the ONE:12 Collective Cyclops figure is now up for order! And not only does he light up—he’s got the effects pieces I’ve waited all my life for…

At this point, Mezco Toyz has serviced most Wolverine fans. Whether you’re a fan of Wolverine in his Tiger Stripe, Brown or X-Force costumes—or even if you prefer Old Man Logan—there’s a ONE:12 Collective Wolverine for you. But for those fans who like Wolverine out of costume and not, well… old… Mezco has one more flavor left in store for you: the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Logan figure is now up for order!

The Mezco ONE:12 Collective star was just beginning to rise when their Punisher figures were released, so a plethora of collectors missed out on owning any of the four ONE:12 Collective Punisher figures that were released in 2017 (including the Classic Punisher that sells for 1000% of his original cost today!). But while a comic-based Punisher may be forever out of reach for many Mezco Toyz collectors, they’re about to have a shot at a live-action Frank Castle—the ONE:12 Collective Netflix Punisher is now up for order!

For those who collect Iron Man figures and statues, repaints are a fact of life. And when it comes to classic comic book Iron Man repaints, there’s no armor out there that’s been more prevalent for repaints than the blueberry-flavored Stealth Iron Man. So when Mezco Toyz premiered they’re ONE:12 Collective Iron Man last year, it was a foregone conclusion we’d see a blue repaint. And that inevitability has now occurred: the ONE:12 Collective Exclusive Stealth Iron Man figure is now up for order!

Earlier today I posted my thoughts on the comic book-based Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures revealed at the New York Toy Fair 2018, but those weren’t the only presents Mezco brought Marvel fans at Toy Fair! Along with an old friend from last Toy Fair who never made it out (Netflix Daredevil), Mezco also brought along new live-action figures of Netflix Punisher, Vigilante Daredevil, and Hela from Thor: Ragnarok!

With the “obvious” selections of ONE:12 Collective Homemade Suit Spider-Man and movie Black Panther being revealed in the buildup to New York Toy Fair 2018, I really wasn’t sure what I’d be seeing added to the Marvel ONE:12 Collective series walking into the Mezco Toyz booth at the show. As it turns out, the three comic-based figures debuted were all ones I wouldn’t have guessed: ONE:12 Collective Blade, Cable and Cyclops Figures!

New York Toy Fair 2018 is just 12 days away—but sometimes there are toy announcements that just can’t wait. This is one of those times. Because there’s a movie coming out in 11 days called “Black Panther”, and as such, demand for Black Panther toys is at an all-time high. Mezco Toyz is ready to strike while the iron is hot, and as such, they’ve made a big reveal prior to Toy Fair: the Marvel ONE:12 Collective Black Panther movie figure is now up for order!

Last week, Mezco Toyz showed off a teaser of some of their New York Toy Fair 2018 ONE:12 Collective figure reveals. Of the darkened silhouettes on that teaser, there was one Marvel figure so obvious that it didn’t take a Spider-Sense to pick him out, and today it’s official: the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Homemade Suit Spider-Man figure has now been revealed!

11 months ago, Mezco Toyz held their annual pre-Toy Fair 2017 event, where they debuted several of their most ambitious Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures to date. But even amongst figures like ONE:12 Collective Doctor Strange with his elaborate costume, one figure stood out—because it had no soft goods at all! Almost a year later, the ONE:12 Collective Iron Man figure is now up for order! Is this figure worth more than quadruple the cost of a Marvel Legends?

After two and a half weeks in theaters, the Thor Ragnarok movie has bright in around 250 million dollars domestically and is an unarguable success. Meanwhile, just about every company from Hasbro to Bandai Tamashii to Gentle Giant to DST has put their Gladiator Hulk offerings up for order. Every company except perhaps the most-anticipated of all. But no longer—the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Gladiator Hulk figure is now up for order!

Ragnarok is truly upon us, as opening day for the Thor Ragnarok movie has arrived at last! To coincide with the movie’s release, this week is one of the final big pushes for Thor 3 merchandise, with several companies putting major items up for sale. And one of those items is likely to claim the crown of “Best 6” Gladiator Thor” in the land—the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Gladiator Thor figure is now up for order!

Mezco Toyz showed off a ton of Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures last year at SDCC 2016, and since then, every single one of them has gone up for order… sans one. But just in case you might have thought Mezco had forgotten all about ol’ Classic Red Skull, think again! It turns out he’s a limited exclusive (as this one absolutely should be): the NYCC 2017 Exclusive ONE:12 Collective Red Skull figure is now up for order!
