Since the announcement last year about McFarlane acquired the rights to DC figures, we’ve been itching to see them up close. When Toyfaire came around, there was no showcase of any of these figures. We have been impressed seeing the work that McFarlane has done with their current figures like fortnite and their various anime figures like Naruto and My Hero, but how do the DC figures fair? Watch as The Eddie gets his hand on the animated series Superman!

November 8, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Out of all the Mezco we’ve had the honor of playing with, this by far is one of our favorites! The small details in the figure like the lantern and how it lights up is hands down the coolest feature we’ve ever seen in a figure this scale. Mezco did not skimp out on the amount of accessories as well. check out the vid for a closer look at this awesome green lantern figure.
Shout out to Comic and Figure Addicts for providing us with the figure, be sure to follow them on all their social medias and check out their store.
