Mezco Plans More One:12 Collective
The One:12 Collective line from Mezco that takes all the beauty and detail of 1:6th scale and shrinks it down to half the size is easily one of the most revolutionary lines released in the last few years.That said, it should come as no surprise that Mezco has got even more figures planned for the ambitious line that already spans a number of pop culture universes. The two latest figures to be joining this 6″ scale line are Darkseid of The DC Comics Universe, and Blade The Vampire Hunter from The Marvel Comics Universe! Mezco posted both up for pre-order this week and you can check out the full details for each below!
Darkseid, Overlord of Apokolips, joins the One:12 Collective.
The One:12 Collective Darkseid figure is the first ever fully articulated Poly-Stone figure featuring a newly created One:12 Collective body that encompasses his immense stone physique. Incorporating magnetically interchangeable faceplates and light-up Omega Beam eyes, Darkseid is primarily made of Poly-Stone with casted metal accents to achieve a level of authenticity never achieved with the character. The tyrannical New God is clothed in his signature royal tunic with a real metal helmet, chest plate, waist belt, and includes an Apokoliptian ceremonial cloak with an armored harness. His sentient Mother Box super-computer is also made from metal and magnetically stores on the back of his belt.
Darkseid, ruling dictator of the dystopian planet of Apokolips, seeks to abolish freewill and enslave all life in the universe. A being of unparalleled strength, intelligence and boundless evil, his divine powers make him not only a threat to the heroes of earth, but to every world within his grasp.

His outfit boasts a leather-like black trench coat with an integrated wire for dynamic posing, as well as a tailored three-quarter sleeve t-shirt and motorcycle style pants. Blade comes well-equipped to hunt down creatures of the night with accessories including a customized submachine gun with removable magazines, a pump action shotgun, his signature sword with removable sheath, collapsible throwing blades, striking stakes, and of course, sunglasses.
Eric Brooks was being born when a vampire attacked his mother during childbirth, passing on a series of enzymes that transformed Eric into a Dhampir – a being tainted by a vampire’s kiss, but not converted.

I Want To Believe
Fox’s ‘The X-Files’ may have finally come to it’s true ending with the latest season finale, but that doesn’t mean the world is done with Mulder and Scully just yet! A few months back the team at ThreeZero announced their all new 1:6th scale Agent Fox Mulder figure, and now after months of waiting with bated breath, they have finally announced their companion figure of Agent Dana Scully! No real details are available for their upcoming Dana Scully figure beyond a teaser image, although we will likely be seeing some more details trickling out soon. Still, this teaser is at least enough to let us know the truth is out there!
The Funko Forecast
Get ready for the Funko Forecast! This is where we’re going to be showcasing all of the cool new announcements and reveals from Funko! With all of the awesome that consistently seems to be flowing out of those guys, it shouldn’t be hard to keep this section alive each and every week!
Funko Subscription Boxes Find New Homes
Earlier this year Funko shocked collectors everywhere when they announced the cancellation of their four mystery box subscription services. These mystery boxes were previously available to have shipped to your home every other month and would include 100% exclusive Funko items you couldn’t get anywhere else including special POP! Vinyls, Tee Shirts, Mugs, and a variety of other collectibles! The four subscription boxes were each themed around a major pop culture phenomenon with crates like ‘Collector Corps’ for Marvel Comics fans, ‘Legion Of Collectors’ for DC Comics fans, ‘Smugglers Bounty’ for Star Wars fans, and ‘Disney Treasures’ which is self explanatory.
While these subscription service boxes were plagued with issues (subscription renewal issues, shipping problems, poor customer service, the list goes on), collectors were devastated at the announcement that these boxes were coming to an end. Lucky for us that it looks like things may not be as bad as they first seemed! This week Funko has announced that they have found a home for at least two of these boxes to be able to continue in a new form!
