I am a die hard Mezco fan. I have this wolverine and i love it. I do agree with everything you said though 100%. I buy mezco figures but i know what I'm getting. this wolverine was probably my last Mezco for a while. they are getting too expensive for me to keep buying them. one thing i didn't like is there should have been like an additional neck that goes with the unmasked headsculpt. looks weird to me like you took your mask off but the neck is still yellow. idk of that's just me or if that even makes sense to anyone. anyway, great review as always

Mezco has some cool figures and all but there’s no height scaling at all between figures and I hate that, you know considering they put so much detail into everything else about the figures is a shame they don’t do it for their height.

Mezco does such a good job with sculpted plastic, I wish they would do that and no soft-goods. The detail in the gloves, boots, head, and belt is sooo good (ignoring proportion issues), it really makes the fabric suit look like a bad Halloween costume, like they were taken from 2 completely different figures.

I didn’t notice all the flaws until you pointed them out but I guess that’s why I watch your reviews. I have this thing in my pile of loot and have been contemplating canceling it but there’s just something about it that I really like. For as many problems as it does have though it photographs really well as per your photos at the end haha.

If there's any Mezco figure that deserves a review it's the Conan they did tbh

This was a dope figure…….and the larger head to body ratio gives the illusion of being shorter on top of the fact it is a smaller body. But I’ve seen some awesome photos of this guy

I'm glad that you reviewed a mezco.i was very curious on your opinion on them. I was a huge one 12 fan and I still do collect them but I cut down A TON on them. your gripes are valid honestly.a 5 may be a bit harsh but I get it. I personally have this figure and subjectively I do like it.

Ah, I agree with some of this. But, I still really enjoy this figure. This was actually my first Mezco purchase. I was never a fan of the proportions or fabric on most of their stuff. But, I caved when I saw this one. I thought this was done well and like that the joints are mostly hidden. I think the articulation is pretty decent and you can crank that ab crunch a good amount. I've had a lot of fun posing this guy up and I think when he's not just standing there, his head doesn't look all that big. I don't see it as a $155 dollar figure...I see it as a $155 dollar set. Is that still expensive? Yes. Knock 25 bucks off that. I'm still happy I picked him up though. I display him with my Figuarts Infinity War Hulk (with fabric pants now) and think they scale pretty well. This set is probably more like an 8/10 for me personally. Still love your reviews though man 👍

I mainly only like fabric if it's for capes. It looks more dynamic, feels premium and doesn't weigh the figure down like if it was plastic

The base is cool, I dig all the extras Mezco puts in the box but I agree--most soft goods just don't scale well. Capes being the usual exception.

The articulation for the shoulder is for the 1st appearance version

I love the fabric on their original figures. On other characters the wired cape is my prefered way for any caped characters.

As a fan of your reviews I respect your opinion, but as a collector of mezco I do have to disagree when it comes to THIS figure. Being a mezco collector I am hard on the figures if I don’t like the look or the articulation I will sell it so I’m not thinking with a closed mind. This figure compared to the first release of tiger strip is way better in my opinion. To each his own. Not everyone is a fan of the cloth look, but for me as a photographer I love figures that give a realistic feel in photos. As you said for some who collect casually they may not enjoy it when it comes to the pose ability but that depends on the collector at the end of the day. Again I appreciate your honesty which is why I watch your reviews. Great job keep up the good work.

I haven't got a Mezco figure since 2020, and even then it was a relatively brief time I spent collecting them and I didn't get many. For me I stopped namely due to the price, but also because whilst I do like how they look I never pick them up or pose them, and that's due to a fear of straining or damaging the material. That's why I never plan on getting into Hot Toys, I imagine that like Mezco I feel like I'd spend more time concerned about how they'll hold up over time rather than just enjoying them for what they are.

I like how they finally made him 5’3 (160 cm) as he should be. Shorter people have bigger head proportionally and shorter limbs so I don’t get your grip on it

I like that standard swap out belt buckle. Awesome review!

Love this figure. I got it and I don't even collect mezco.

Im very suprise to see you review a Mezco figure! Great review! :)

I love mezco. They just have a certain charm to them.

The cloth clothes not only impacts articulation, they also rip (or for faux leather, they flake) even when they are not posed or played with.

I like your no bullshit honest opinion approach to reviews.

I have some mezcos but I got tired of their bad articulation (abds and ankle) for some characters meanwhile their originals are super articulated, so I either get the mafex or marvel legends, when it comes to DC you are kinda screwed because the only close option is mafex and they are doing very limited characters

The hinge on the shoulder pad is so you can give it that first appearance look

The missus has a few Mezco figures and the ones she has look incredible on a shelf together. To me they’re just not conducive to figure photography because the clothing pulls the joints around and adds friction and it’s not the most fun experience. They do feel very premium to handle though in my experience and the unboxing experience always feels like an event.

Damn. I do respect you cuz u do usually keep it real with all the issues or what can do done better. Even when u like the figures or character, which clearly u don’t like this or mezco. But yeah this one hurt mines is in my pile of loot now at bbts and idk if I should even get it now or take store credit. And I been looking forward to this figure

Love this figure! I did not like Mezco 1/12 line until I got one and been hooked ever since. You like what you like🤷🏽‍♂️

I laughed when you pointed out the silver on his lip, never would have noticed that.

As a mezco fan, I do agree with some points. Like, the figure definitely does not have Wolverine proportions. And I do their their ab and ankle articulation needs to be improved. But I think there’s also a lot to like about this figure. I think a 5/10 is a bit harsh. But to each their own. See if your friend will send you a mezco Batman (preferably their “supreme” or “sovereign” versions of Batman) or punisher figure. Those are typically done pretty well, and I’d be interested in hearing your opinion on them.

I definitely prefer cloth cape. But I do prefer cloth costume if done right.

I guess maybe I'm just not as observant as the rest of you, but this Mezco Wolverine is hands-down my best Wolverine figure. I can't stand Legends and their hideous joints, the AY has bizarre proportions, and the MAFEX, while awesome, has those STUPID blue stripes for no reason. Best figure I've bought in a long time.

Awesome review! Gotta say, you definitely hid many of the aesthetic issues in your photos at the end. So, it can be done. You're right. If it were me, I'd say he needs to be shorter, arms a bit shorter and legs/ass thicker. That would've gone a LONG way.

I love the figure but I do agree with what you said. Love your reviews. It helps me decide if I want a figure. I was not gonna get SH Figuarts Cooler and your review changed my mind and I love that Cooler

Not defending the retail price, but didn't it include a diorama piece as well? I don't have this figure nor do I plan on getting it. I don't mind the cloth look as I already collect 1/6 scale figs. Most of my 1/6 scale collection are kit bashes with a few bought completed figs.

I don’t collect mezco but wanted to see ur opinion since ur reviews are the most objective on KZfaq as so many people are raving about this thing

I have only one Mezco 1:12 and it's not even a superhero. Some of them turn out great, many do share the flaws you pointed out here. Collectors really need to start demanding better of every line that asks for 80+ dollars. I'm not saying they shouldn't ask better from Marvel Legends too, but 150 for something that doesn't EXCEL in every area is kinda ridiculous.

Is there any chances that you will make video about Mafex The Dark Knight related figures ? Really interested in your opinion..

What would be the best Wolverine out there for you? Because yeah….that Mezco is certainly not that one…I don’t own any Mezco figured and I guess I still won’t x)

It looks like he got ripped straight out of Robot Chicken

Just recently purchased this figure and I think it looks terrific! Still, i always thoroughly enjoy Anthony’s reviews.

I wish you would’ve done a photoshop for this one, but good review. I got this figure and loved it, but you had great points.

You should do a top 10 of 1-12 scale Wolverine figures

Yo guys my own version of question of the day: Does anyone actually want superhero figures that don't look like superheroes? Like you see a figure and say "oh, too much muscles, so unrealistic" Let me know cause I genuinely want to know

You're the only reviewer who's pointed out the fact that his head is oversized. I see mezco improving but they still have too many problems with their mezcofication of charecter designs and trying to make clothing look good for the 6in scale. I have their blade and iron fist and I think those are some of their better offerings.

Mezco : Crying while watching this. Hasbro : "First Time?"

When I see figures like this from any line, I always compare it to the cheaper alternative. For $150 are you getting a proportionate increase in quality compared to a $20 Marvel Legend?

I would not consider myself a "die-hard" fan as that term for me always comes with some sort of baggage but it's my main line of collecting. That said, I can't argue with anything that you said. I look forward to this figure as I like the fine line between articulated figure and posable statue and I like the own spin Mezco does. But yeah, the neck and size are like that since the first Wolverine released and nothing changed. That's def. a bummer.

I do not like clothing on action figures...But, I do have a Mezco Batman, the supreme knight, and I love it. I've had it for almost two years and it has held up pretty well.

I would like to see Anthony Judge a mezco gomez fig. Mainly for articulation and range of motion, that would be awesome. Plus he don't have butterfly joints but arms move well, which I think Anthony likes.

I really enjoyed their mk figures.. but when they said they would do cloth figs at that scale, i was impresses that they tried. Never bought any of them though.

I think the cloth just comes down to the type of collector people are. The cloths look good to cloth type collectors I guess. I agree with the head being too big too. I kinda disagree with the colorings and details for the stuff though. Mezco is known to “modernize” some figures and this is one of those they tried to modernize. Wish the belt didn’t have pouches. Not like he carries anything but motorcycle keys and cigars.

The shoulder pads go up for when u display him as the first appearance. His shoulder pads sat higher in the comics

That sentinel base is incredible

Its pretty good but in articulation i prefer mafex

You hit the nail in the head. This is why I'm not really a fan of mezco, because most of the action figures look like cosplayers instead of super heroes, also since the cloth goods are overlays for the whole body(mostly), they tend to limit articulation.

Hey Anthony, in your opinion what IS THE best wolverine figure out here rn? Wether old or new ?

I like the sentinel base. I think its too much for what you're getting. The tin comment was spot on, cmon metal? 😆

I like strategically placed fabric: capes, trench-coats, skirts, etc

I dont like clothing on figures at all, I dont mind cloth capes that much but when its a comic/ animated character i think plastic resembles the flat colors way better. cloth doesn't scale down well and a lot of the time the figures look too fat and the stitching and folds look off. Mezco are expensive but the accessories that come with this are amazing.

I agree with how the price and the weird proportions can be disappointing. I only have 2 Mezcos: Superman 1978 (good proportion and epic light up base imo) and a deluxe Supreme Knight (weird proportions but great deal for $80). To me both feel worth their value esp since it seems Mezco increased their price lately. Any thoughts on their upcoming 89 Batman? Promo pics look good but been on preorder for like 2 yrs 😆 last one I'd get from them.

I'm almost certain that his head is a batman head with the huge black thingys added.... And that's not something just for this figure, but I always tought that wolverine having hairy arms and a smooth chin, it'd be so much more in character to have at least a 5 o'clock shade in there...

I agree with most of what u said except for it not looking good lol. I got alot of mezco figures and honestly besides the earlier ones, they have come a long way in regards to articulation with clothes on. But yeah I have and love this wolverine. My only gripe is the height. Great review, hope u get to do more mezco ones in the future

With all the flaws you gripped about!? The figure to me is the best Wolverine figure for the astonishing Wolverine look it works for me.. you kept sayin 150 worth but it comes with so much accessories you wasn’t paying 150 for one figure with minor accessories you was paying for that amount for the amazing looking stand it comes with and the accessories and effects with that fig. I’m speaking this at the time they just announced the new wolvy fig which is 85 for a fig with minor accessories! Which I’ll be gettin that one too lol

Not a big fan of cloth stuff outside of maybe a wired cape that looks decent. I bought this set for the base and am selling the figure itself....sacrificed a bottle of lagavulin and a bottle of vodka but i see it as a fair trade for my liver. Last time i had a figure wearing cloth it was Marvel famous covers Storm...was pretty neat gave it to a cousin of mine for her birthday back in the late 90s.

I like sculpt, not fabric. It just makes figures look like dolls and you lose a lot of the sculpt and musculature. I'm cool with fabric if it's something like a cape or jacket. A lot of Mezco's look pretty nice (like the new Superman), but I can't get into the line because I can't get past the fabric look. Even with someone like Superman, it makes him look unflattering and unsuper. So less Superman and just Man.

Off topic, hoping you do that wolverine head for the marvel legends wolverine from the apocalypse wave again

I wouldn’t mind getting the headsculpts onto marvel legends

I've been done with Mezco's for a minute now, the fabric especially the leather ones just disintegrate after about a year and the limited articulation is a Joke especially for the price point! I totally agree with you.

I think the blue shoulder pads is what makes it look like he doesn’t have traps and a long neck

X effect yo can use it on character (figure) to imitate de weapon x finish of the marvel vs capcom games, or not , I think it fits 🤔

Review more mezco figures This was great.

I was about to say this has to be the first mezco figure he's reviewed lmao

Mafex Brown Wolverine is the best comic Wolverine out imo

Funny… just picked up the most recent Uncanny version. Seems like they took some of your pointers. He’s got traps, the light blue colorations, nicer detail and about $60 cheaper (less accessories though). Still has some of the same issues like head size and some articulation gripes but, I gotta say it’s a better figure in my opinion.

Lol, great review. Here’s the thing, I am a Mezco O12C fan and have some of them in my Marvel collection. However, I completely agree with you on this one. From the first time I saw it, I was like “nope”. Just like their Spider character figures the articulation and use of soft good clothing just doesn’t work. Maybe some day they’ll figure out how to make it work but for now, it’s a hard pass on all non standard body type characters from Mezco.

My guy looks like a Funko pop bobblehead

Thanks for the information

I prefer the action figures of Mafex over Mezco in comic lines. I think that tight clothing does not work as well in this line, the seams are messy and the muscles are completely covered. In other characters that are not superheroes I think they nail it. I have a Hellboy and he's cool, I'd like to get the Nosferatu too. BTW, great review

I can look past overly long arms, longer lower legs, even low shoulders sometimes, but something about oversized heads really bugs me. It has this unsettling look that really detracts from my enjoyment. Also at this price point, I would expect comparable articulation to Mafex.

Granted it may have flaws I'll stick with the mafex one this Logan isn't so bad but I'm not a fan of cloth figs anymore

Im not a mezco fan, I don't like the fabric as well, but that figure is not that bad as you described it. Perhaps it is not the best Wolverine figure, but definitely those accessories are superb. Although it tries to offer a few versions of Wolverine to the fans. No way to be perfect but it is satisfying enough. Let's not forget the inflation , everything is more expensive those days.

wow i didn't think the head size was that giant until you brought out the marvel legends

I mean the head size alone is so immediately noticeable, I don’t know how anyone could possibly try to objectively push back on that point. Its enough to completely ruin the aesthetic, aside from all the other issues.

Try to review the PSCC set, those figures are insane

Wired cloth capes only for myself

Honestly, I just get the rumble society stuff. They seem to dump all the love and care into those. I have like one Batman and both Moon Knights. While I do love them, they can be a little frustrating to mess around with. I was on the fence with this one for a long time but I’m glad I passed.

I own this. Glad to have. But way overpriced.

I notice the huge head and long neck the second you showed it

The biggest question for any Mezco figure is this: “Is he wearing a sock?” Yes, Wolverine is wearing a sock. I immediately thought of a weekend warrior cosplaying in a cheap suit when I saw this- he saw the $100 costume and the $500 costume and picked the $100 one. If the rest of the suit was the same leatherette as the diaper or they used the same stylized patches and neoprene-like stretchy foam material as they do on Black Bolt or Magneto, maybe it would have worked better, but the proportions still would stink as Wolverine shouldn’t have love handles. I might pay $50 for this for the base, stand, and the clear effects, but I’d definitely still sell the figure or just give it away because it’s just ugly. There are so many figures being released these days that I wouldn’t even take for free because they’re just so poorly executed.

OK new plan, we just send you figures to review that you won't like. I'd watch that.

Yeah I noticed it seemed off when I got this figure and thought to myself "I wish Anthony would review this to point out exactly why it looks so weird but he probably won't." And here we are. Yeah the accessories are epic but them proportions are killing me 😭

I love how Anthony has people lending him their figures just to see him roast them lol

Seeing this now, the height and proportions being off is a common problem with mezco, its the whole reason why I buy mostly they're original characters compared to the licenced stuff. Some of their worst being Darkseid, Hulk, Variant Cable, most female figures ( bad proportions and articulation), and all suited figures not named Gomez or Skulls. They were originally made with detail, cloth goods, and articulation in mind; considering they advertise it on the box, but very few people are willing to critisize them for mistakes and just sheer laziness. I mean seriously, is it so hard to have decent articulation on all of these figures (taking muscle mass, proportioning and scale into account), considering your paying $90 to $200 for a "premium quality" product.

Good honest review

It's so weird that nobody else I've watched has mentioned how huge the heads on Mezco figures are. People clown on McFarlane proportioning but for these expensive Mezco figures nobody says anything.

Man, you keep saving me money. Good job

Wooow 5 lol. Lots of people were praising this. Never seen this in hand tho.

naked doesnt look so bad, could be used for a custom skinny guy

You make action figures and know exactly what you’re doing. You know what you’re talking about unlike other reviewers who are never honest because they probably don’t know how to make action figures or how they work. You’re honest and I appreciate that and you know your stuff which is why your videos are very informative. Don’t let any haters get you down man. Pointing out the flaws and talking about how to make it better is great and essential. Sometimes you gotta tell the truth and put these companies on blast for showing no TLC to their figures.

Great review Anthony, though I like "real" fabrics on figures. Mezco has gone downhill for years, and this Wolverine looks worst than their first exclusive Wolverine that was released years ago and had most of those issues. Only this time, there are even more issues. The head is too big, the body is too small, the blue color is unforgiveable at this point, it should be light blue, and the worst to me: the vinyl underpants. It just doesn't match the rest of the clothing and it's been the biggest flaw from the One:12 line for years. I can't even recall when they started this vinyl atrocity. Their best One:12 figure remains their first one: The dark knight returns. The clothes were perfect, the design & colors matched the comics, and the price was reasonable. There were some other great figs like Punisher, Deathstroke, and a few others, but I think it's gone downhill for like at least 4 years. Now it's way too overpriced, it's overdesigned/stylised with poor tastes, proportions aren't accurate, they add this vinyl horror everywhere, and the figures take forever to come out. I've given up on this line long ago, but at least your review was funny & accurate ; ) Mezco's biggest loss was Pierre Kalenzaga departure. He knew how to manage this line. Whoever is in charge now doesn't know what he's doing. Drives me crazy. They had a gold mine, people like me were passionate about the beginning of the line, and they've completely dropped the ball. This line is my biggest disappointment in this industry.

I'd like to see you review the Mezco Conan that figure is easily the best Mezco figure
