PiercingMetal & The Temple Of Mezco Toyz (8/15/2013)

Logo - Mezco

A couple of months ago, my buddy Skeleton Pete and I joined the fine folks at Mezco Toyz over at the Ripley’s Believe it or not Odditorium to celebrate the reveal of their awesome “1960’s Batman and Batmobile” (which can be seen below for your enjoyment). This great event had an appearance by Batman himself who drove right up Times Square in the legendary Batmobile. Okay so it was a very “he looks just like him” impersonator but I admit to feeling like a little kid when I saw it drive up.

Today’s event was something entirely different but no less special and depending on your level of collecting mania, this could very well have been the event of the year. You see, Mezco was opening up their warehouse for the very first time to the public and letting them get their hands on one of a kind items along with production test models, limited editions and showroom models.   Once again I was joined by my partner in media crime Skeleton Pete and hoped that my credit card would not explode after this visit to their Long Island City location.  Let’s see what’s going on over here today.

This particular presentation will be a mostly “photo only” display because so many of the properties that the company has are so instantly recognizable to fans of the Horror, Science Fiction and Animated films.  I will chime in from time to time as I feel necessary so let’s begin and by all means enjoy.

Assorted Scream Grabs

Talk about one of a kind things.  These are what is called the “Paint masters” and that means this is the final okay of what goes into production.  The Scream Grabs are a part of the “Cinema Of Fear” collection and they bring classic scenes of horror to miniature model life.  Spooky.

These next few visuals were not of “for sale” things at all but just some of the coolness that was in the offices.  I had to share them with you since they struck my fancy.

So that’s all we got for you with this one folks, I’d like to thank Drake and Mezco Toyz in general for inviting us to this fantastic event.  Don’t be looking to purchase any of these exclusives that you have seen here from the company since the folks we saw were leaving with shopping bags full and credit cards of flame. There was not a whole lot left when we walked out despite there being another day of the sale.  Of course you can keep an eye on what Mezco Toyz is up to via their official site.  I guess I will be seeing them all next at October’s Comic Con over at the Javits Center.

Oh yes, I couldn’t resist sharing a photo from the Batman event that they held for those who might have missed it. This Batmobile and its Mezitz Minis of the Caped Crusader and Robin is available in specialty shops across the country. You know you want it.
