The Warriors - Mezco

[kresge1]

looking pretty good
I cant wait to see them in person

[ABMAC]

The figures on eBay are from an earlier release by Mezco. They're caricatures with sculpted clothes.

Warriors toys?

Ok i'm lost here! Sorry, forgive me i'm new at collecting again, or should i say back to collecting.

So did they release some of these warriors action figures already? If so where? When? I never did see them in stores.

In a pic above i saw a sign saying coming soon 2008, but i saw Ajax & i think swan in there, but on ebay it looks like they were already released?


When they are released what price might they average?

I wonder if these are the long rumored bodies they were planning on using for the...again...long rumored Dick Tracy line?

[Remco Monster]

thunderbolt, even they aren't sure just yet. Well, they might be, but if so, are being tight lipped. They have acquired the Heroes license so I am hoping they will be in this style.


Ok, so I saw these in person on Friday at the Wizard World Chicago comic con., and they are beyond awesome. These are very early prototypes, so will be getting some slight tweaks before production. All clothing will be removable, including their shoes, and their heads will be shrunk a bit to scale.

I can't tell you how excited I am about these.

Here are some of the photos I took....

^^^ They say anything about what other linew will get the megoesque treatment?

[Remco Monster]

So, I saw these in person yesterday at the Mezco booth at Wizard World Chicago, and they are AMAZING. Coolest toys I have seen since the 70's.

Took some photos (though photos don't do them justice) and will be posting them either today, or tomorrow, I still have to get through them.

I must put in my 2 cents, my buddies and me all grew up in NYC and street gangs were'nt quite like that, i mean face paint, roller skates, come on. We still enjoy the movie and get a lot of laughs, my favorite part is right before Cyrus gets shot, he calls all the gangs together and yells.."CAN YOU DIG ITTTTTT" bang!

LOL! yeah that's what Shaq is always saying

My favorite part is with Luther in the end
"No it wasn't us...It was them,The Warriors.They Shot Cyrus..NOOOO!!!!!"
and of course the Warriors come out to play part

[lepage]

I had heard in other interviews that a lot of the story as well was taken by "the Oddessy" by Homer
However, I dont recall any mention of this in the special features of the directors cut.

[Remco Monster]

The film is based on the book by Sal Yurik, who based the book on Xenophon's The Anabasis. It was never meant to portray accurate gang life, and is over the top on purpose.

The Warriors is a classic!
I bought the directors cut that was very well put together with the intros to each new scene starting off like a comic book.
I have a hard time believing that they arent releasing Luthor (David Patrick Kelly) among the first wave as he is like the star of the show. I didnt care too much for the ones release prior in the "super deformed" style but I think I will have to get these.

CAN YOU DIG IT?:die:

I must agree fully, the same was done for the modern Scarface action figures, they were released with big hands and exaggerated faces. It really bothers me that they waste the right's to such good films when they could have made them McFarlane style or better.

Man those figures rock!! The Warriors is my all time favorite film, I even got an XBOX just for the Warriors game! I read the orginal book a couple of years ago it was totally different but still an interesting read.
