Mezco Toyz Toy Fair Update

February 2008 - Mezco Toyz sent out a "cheat sheet" of sorts to the media as an aid in covering their new products at the 2008 American International Toy Fair.

A few of the highlights include:

  • Mezco is debuting 114 new items at Toy Fair.

  • Heroes Series 2 (7-inch) action figures will be Niki, Future Peter, Mr. Linderman, Matt Parkman & Molly, and Noah Bennet.

  • Heroes Series 3 (7-inch) action figures will be Adam, Elle Bishop, Kensei Hiro (samurai armor Hiro), Nathan Petrelli, and the Haitian.

  • Heroes is also getting the 9-inch figure treatment. These figures will have cloth outfits. The first batch will be Claire, Niki, Sylar, and Peter.

  • Hellboy 2 Series 2 (7-inch) action figures will include Hellboy (with Samaritan and cats), Angel Of Death (with wings and wand), Wounded Hellboy (with Samaritan), Princess Nauda (with map cylinder), and Goblin (with broken spear tip and whistle).

  • There will be two 18-inch Hellboy 2 figures: Hellboy (new sculpt) and Abe Sapien.

  • Wee figure fans will be tickled to learn that there are two series of 3.75-inch action figures planned for Hellboy. Series 1 will be Liz Sherman, Hellboy, Wink, and Johann Krauss. Series 2 will be Angel of Death, Prince Nauda, Abe Sapien, and Hellboy (in black shirt). Each of these figures will come with a display base and accessories.

  • Also planned for Hellboy are two RotoBusts (9.75 inches tall) of Hellboy and the Right Hand of Doom, along with keychains of the BRPD logo, the Right Hand of Doom, and Hellboy's new movie weapon Big Baby.

  • The second series of Cinema of Fear plushes will be Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Jason Vorhees (Friday the 13th Part 2), Freddy Krueger in tuxedo (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3).

  • Cinema Of Fear Series 2 (7-inch) action figures will be Freddy Krueger (original A Nightmare on Elm Street), Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th Part Six), and Nancy Thompson (in the tub from A Nightmare on Elm Street).

  • Cinema Of Fear Series 3 (7-inch) action figures will be Freddy Krueger (chef outfit from A Nightmare On Elm Street 5), Jason Voorhees (Jason Goes to Hell), Hitchhiker (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Leatherface (from the 2003 remake).

  • More new Cinema of Fear goodies (baddies??) will include a second batch of Screen Grabs (dioramas), roto 9-inch figures of Jason and Leatherface, a 12-inch figure of Jason, and 7-inch mini-plushes of Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface.

  • Expect to see a ton of merchandise from The Spirit, including action figures, Screen Grabs, RotoBusts, keychains, and messenger bags.

  • Leatherface finally gets the Living Dead Doll treatment.

  • The Warriors will be 9-inch deluxe figures with cloth outfits. Series One will be: Swan, the Orphans Leader, a Baseball Fury, Cyrus, and Ajax.

In addition to the information about their new items, Mezco also sent a clarification:

For some unknown reason, a site reported that there is a Notorious Big action figure that is a Toy Fair exclusive.

This is not true.

Yellow jersey Biggie is for NY Comic Con.

MTV was given access to the figure for an article they were writing but the figure is not yet available.
