And look at the price point of the One:12 figures... List Price of $85.99, selling for $75.00 at most online stores.
I don't know if Marvel put the DST limitations on Mezco since this is the price of non-Marvel figures, but it nicely fits into that $80 price range that DST has to abide by with the Marvel Retros.Comment

Lovin' these sets! They do have some shortcomings, but so does FTC..
Although I am buying them all for $65.00 or less with shipping.
My Cap set was $35.00 plus like $5 or $6 shipping.
My hands down favorite has been Wolverine! I bought 2 sets.
I'm hoping Deadpool and Daredevil will both be done as well.Comment

I am glad that DST/EMCE is producing these. It is amazing to have, possibly, more MEGO-style figures being churned out today than in the golden age of MEGO due to these guys and FTC. I only have the Cap set right now but I will get Deadpool, Daredevil, Wolverine and maybe Thor eventually. Keep up the good work!No exclusives and no chase figures, please - I'm Canadian!Comment

I second this. I, too, want the same. I know this is comparing apples and oranges given the size differences, but given my limited funds and space, I find it hard not to purchase one of the Mezco Daredevil (most likely $75.00) in place of the retro Daredevil ($69.00). I have the Diamond Mezco and Dark Blue Mezco Dark Knight and it is everything as good an mentioned. I pre-order Shazam the first day it became available in BBTS. Can't wait for Frankenstein. Hope they make an Alan Scott Green LanternComment

Would I like to see individually released 8" HT style figures...of course. But as the Mezco figures are 6" scale...that TOTALLY ruins it for me...they missed the mark IMO. So I'll be happy with my EMCE Retro-Mego style figures thank you. The new DareDevil figure shows dramatic improvement in sculpting...LOVE the head sculpt! And Deadpool looks incredible as well. Keep Em' coming EMCE!!sigpicComment

Best put by anyone, ever!
Furthermore these sets are worth their price tag as they are loaded with removable parts & accessories. There are really three figures in the set and they have the Mego enchantment all over them...
I've said it before and I'll say it again Mezco One:12 & NECA 8" are great figures but they are not Megos. Non removable clothing, heads, boots, gloves, etc attest for that.Comment

At least, that's what I have gathered from the various posts on this subject.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

Mezco's have removable swappable heads and TONS of accessories.High end looking figures don't need removable clothes,which is why the Mego look will always look a bit cheesey in comparison.
That said,you're right! they are not Mego's, but Mezco's are a better looking toyComment

oh the appeal of megos for me is the "cheesy" factor.i don't want "high toy art" in an eight inch figure like hot toys or neca,i want as close as possible renditions of my favorite toys as a kid.A Neca 8 inch figure could be "balls to the wall" like a hot toys figure,but it wouldn't give me that "mego" feel.Comment
