Popeye
One:12 Collective (Mezco) - Popeye
Rated 4.70 stars by RMaster007
What started out as a comic strip character meant to be a one-timer became a pop culture phenomenon, as Popeye, the sailor man with superhuman strength, has been in just about every form of media. That includes action figures, as the franchise was one of the first licenses Mezco picked up, resulting in a line with great sculpts and fun accessories. Mez returned to the sailor in the late 2010's with a rendition of him in their One:12 line, and earlier this year they announced a reissue of him, which I believe isn't common for One:12. I got him not too long ago, and I'm happy to finally have him. One:12 boxes are usually simplistic in style, and Popeye's has the sailor's traditional look on the front and top, and anchors on the sides. It's nothing too exciting, but it works. One thing I...[See More]

Cyclops
One:12 Collective (Mezco) - Marvel
Rated 4.85 stars by RMaster007
Mezco's One:12 line has been putting out a lot of cool figures, ranging from licensed to original, but I'll admit I haven't been picking up anything from it. I have been thinking about getting the Ghostbusters set and Alien (especially because I can get the latter for cheaper now), and the upcoming Mask looks great, but for now, I only own two. I already covered Jason Voorhees long ago, and the other one is Cyclops from X-Men. As with most One:12 figures, the packaging is very simplistic with blue and yellow colors, along with figure photos and an accessory layout on the back. This is the slip cover, and underneath it is a window box that makes use of various trays to hold everything inside; no tape or ties to be removed. It's all collector-friendly, but if you don't plan on keeping the...[See More]

Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th Part 3)
One:12 Collective (Mezco) - Friday the 13th
Rated 5.00 stars by RMaster007
Friday the 13th is one of the most well-known slasher/horror franchises, and I assume it will be one you first watch when getting into the genre. I haven’t seen anything beyond the fifth one yet, but for now, the third and fourth movies are my favorites. And we should all know Mezco by now thanks to their One:12 Collective line. They’ve done Friday the 13th before years ago as part of their “Cinema of Fear” line, but they’ve since done him again in their One:12 line, based off his appearance from Part 3, the most recognizable film in the franchise. While he was released a few years ago, he shouldn’t be too hard to find through online retailers. The packaging is pretty simple, with the logo and a dark forest background on the front, and photos of everything included on the back. That’s a...[See More]
