In addition to the Breaking Bad line (check it out here), Mezco Toyz also has a shelf full of DC Universe heroes and villains to add to your collection.
For 2013, no DC fan will be able to escape Man of Steel, this summer’s big screen reboot of Superman courtesy of director Zack Snyder starring Henry Cavill.
Following a press conference at their Long Island City HQ, I got a spoiler heavy sneak peek at what we can expect to see when Superman’s dad Jor El and arch enemy General Zod appear in the flesh in the highly anticipated film. Superman’s Kryptonian father will be played by Russell Crowe and Zod will be embodied by Michael Shannon.
Mezco had two-inch mini Mez-itz figures of those two pivitol characters as well as a version of the Man of Steel himself decked out in the latest version of the iconic blue and red super suit. If we can infer something by these toys, Superman will not be donning a suit of tights sewn together by Ma Kent in Smallville, but rather a costume heavily based on a rugged Kryptonian design (as seen by the similarity in Zod’s black suit). Jor-El also wears the unmistakable ‘S’ emblem as his son does, but so did Marlon Brando in 1978’s Superman: The Movie.
Also featured in this mini-figure line are DC heroes and villains like Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Sinestro, Doctor Fate, Darkseid, Joker, Batman and many others.
There will be a line of six-inch designer vinyl figures which include a Man of Steel version of Superman and classic versions of Wonder Woman, Batman and Joker.
You can head to the Mezco Toyz website to check out the new toys and existing lines based on South Park, Universal Monsters, Mars Attacks! as well.
