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.Comment

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.Comment

Debating on pre-ordering Jason Voorhees, and Evil Dead 2 Ash. Not sure on Ash's likeness, and not sure I need another part 3 Jason, when I have NECA's and really like it.
Probably going to pick up the new black costume Spider-Man. From what I have seen, I really like it. I would pick up the classic Spider-Man, but the stupid sneaker feet they gave him ruin the figure for me.
What do you all have, and/or have on pre-order?Comment

Yeah, I am no completest, I just collect the ones I like, here and there. Really sucks Universal Monsters and Trek are dead. I don't do a vast majority of the Marvel and DC, because I don't like how Mezco jazz them up. I don't want tennis shoes on classic Spider-Man or a puffy sticker looking S on Superman's costume, or shoulder pads on Wolverine, etc. UGH. The movie/TV versions look nice, but I don't really collect movie/TV Marvel and DC unless they are old school Marvel and DC movies/TV.Comment

Yes, it’s better than Sideshow’s comic book Deadpool...as that one looks too baggy and has an overload of accessories...
But my favorite one is Hot Toys’ Ryan Reynolds movie Deadpool...

I was very excited about these when they first came out but their lack of interest in continuing Star Trek or Universal Monsters killed it for me. I also don't care for their real world versions of the super heroes.Comment

To be fair, it wasn't Mezco's lack of interest that killed UM and Trek, it was lack of sales. Where as most of their figures sell well, fast and/or out, and many are worth well over what they originally sold for, you can STILL get the Trek figures and Frankenstein for original retail or less. Heck, Think Geek had to clearance their exclusive Mirror Mirror Spocks out at $9.99 each to sell them out. It really stinks the fans didn't support these lines. I think if the people that passed on them saw the Frank and Spock in hand, they would have been REAL happy they ponied up. Those two are extremely impressive figures.Comment

A pre-owned classic Punisher recently sold on ebay for $860.00.
Quite a few classic Punishers have sold in the $750-$800 range.
The PX deluxe Punisher also sells for around $800 now.
Even the commonly available standard Punisher sells for between $300 and $400.Comment

I may be in the minority, but the older I get, the less interest I have in collector driven lines. I prefer plain old toys over collectibles.Comment
