Very exciting! Can't wait to see this new Batman in person. In terms of movement, I could be wrong about the range of motion, but suspect Sovereign Knight Batman will have a costume which is more conducive to freedom of movement and closer to the material used on the The Batman vs. Superman version of Batman. Not sure about the knee pads, which may either be glued or sewn into the costume.

You make a great point. The more I think about it, figures of Kirk, Spock and Bones from the films would translate very well in this format. The red uniforms worn by Kirk and the crew would look interesting.

Yeah there hasn't been much done with that era of TOS. Playmates did some, but not much, and most of their stuff hasn't held the test of time. Qmx has shown prototypes of some 1:6 scale film era figures, but I fear they aren't getting much retail interest. I think Mezco has their hands full with other properties at the moment.

I love the line, but the exclusives thing is frustrating. Compared to a year ago, I don't have many on preorder. I don't want the movie versions, and they aren't doing much with the Star Trek license. I'll pick some up here and there, but there's no reason to go all OCD on this line and many reasons not to.

The One:12 line is probably my favorite modern one at the moment, but it's frustrating how certain exclusive variants are common, while others are very difficult to find. During the limited window of time it was available on a retail level, I was fortunate enough to get the standard version of The Punisher and yet wasn't able to get the black & white variant or the deluxe version with trench coat. Also, I was able to get the SDCC Captain America, which seemed to sell faster than the other versions. Ironically, the more common basic version of The Punisher probably now sells for more than the SDCC Cap.

There's no doubt One:12 will go down in history as one of the greatest toy lines ever with so many licenses being under one umbrella, and the exceptional quality, but the price point and all the exclusives make it a very difficult line to collect.
Another big issue I see is that except for some of the exclusives, the figures don't seem to be holding their value. All the Star Trek releases are selling for between $25-$50 on Ebay except for the original Spock. Frankenstein is all selling for $40-$50, including the exclusive.

I can't see collectors continuing to spend $80 on figures that lose half their value a few months after being released. Once collectors as a whole get wise to this they'll stop pre-ordering and buying stuff as it comes out, and the line will suffer a massive hit.

Today Mezco revealed a surprise new One:12 Black Panther Movie figure for pre-order $80 in time for the film's release in 2 weeks. The figure is sharp with an unmasked head too with accurate likeness.

I guess this is the new trend for Mezco to make DC and Marvel movie and TV One:12 tie-ins before comic book versions. At 2017 SDCC only Marvel One:12 were Ragnarok movie Thor and Hulk and Spider-Man Man Homecoming movie figure. There were 3 DC comic book One:12 but a Justice League movie Aquaman too.

On Mezco' blog there is 2018 Toy Fair teaser of 6 shadowy One:12 figures. Spider-Man Homecoming homemade suit Spidey has been revealed and most are guessing the other 5 to be l-r Jason from Friday the 13th Part 3, Jim Lee Cyclops, Justice League movie Flash, a Batman maybe Keaton, and Netflix Punisher. More film DC and Marvel less comics.

A Mezco phone rep told me more One:12 will be announced at Toy Fair like new licenses. Star Wars? The Force is strong in this One:12!

The One 12 Spock is incredible though. Well worth the $70 I paid and I have zero regrets. I wouldn't have bought Mirror Mirror Spock for original retail, just because I try to stay away from variants, especially at $70 a piece. Been thinking about picking up Sulu, looks like he can be had for about $50 or so now.

[ovenmitt]

I regret paying like $75 each for my One:12 Spock and Kirk regular versions. 10 years earlier EMCE Mego 8" Star Trek were only $18 each and I got Aliens I never had. Is DST done with Mego Star Trek? Could FTC get the license? Or does McFarlane Star Trek license prevent that?

Just bought the Mirror Mirror Spock for $9.99 at Think Geek!

OMG that makes me nauseous. I think I paid $160 for one to an Ebay scalper when they first came out, not knowing I could buy it direct from Think Geek.

I am losing interest in Mezco One:12 too at $80 a figure (EE does not have a $15 off code now) the delays and more movie and TV DC and Marvel rather than comic book. FTC 12" DC Mego figures will most likely be $60-$70 each and I will buy them instead of Mezco DC. And I still buy all FTC 8" DC Megos, the Wonder Woman wave is nice! I am still awaiting fate of Mego Marvel figures. Until then there is Marvel Legends, Marvel Select and DST Marvel Gallery 9" PVC figures on based statues I received my 1st 5 of today. If Mezco announces One:12 STAR WARS license at Toy Fair in 2 weeks that might be a game changer. Until then there are several less expensive DC and Marvel figures options.

I was so excited when this line started but they lost me already with all the damn exclusives. I wanted that classic comic Red Skull but there's no way I'm paying almost $300 for a brand new 6" figure.

I'm going to keep up with Star Trek and Universal Monsters IF they make any more.

"While Mezco's "interpretations" are sometimes questionable,they are kinda like the Charlee Flatt of today (but in 6 inch scale)"

This is exactly why I don't have any of the Marvel or DC figures, other than DKR Batman. I really wish they would make their classic versions truly 100% classic, with zero updates. The movie versions are nice, but they haven't made any I have cared to pony up for yet.

I currently only have these four
DKR Batman
Space Ghost
Mr. Spock
Frankenstein

Only other figures that have been released so far that I would like to pick up are the Star Trek, Kirk and Sulu.

And I have these two on pre-order...
