Is it just me, or are the new Heroes action figures from Mezco Toyz really creepy looking?

Wait wait wait, when did Lou Ferrigno and Sarah Michelle Gellar join Heroes???
January 7th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Is this supposed to be a joke? They look terrible.
January 7th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
lol @ Enrique. Lou Ferrigno is dead on.

Wow, that Sylar figure will haunt my dreams forever…

Joe Piscopo lives!

Mezco makes some of the best figures around. I used to love McFarlane but their quality has gone way down while Mezco just gets better. I think the fault here is with ToyFare’s bad photography!

Why does Hayden Pannetiere look like a mafia enforcer in drag?

Its obvious Toy Fare has photoshopped several pix together to get this image and Sylar is at a differant angle than Claire. I got my copy in the mail today and the print throughout the whole issue is a mess. I feel certain they will look better in person. Looking foward to Toy Fair in NY in February. I know a buyer at TRU so I get to attend and heroes is one of the main things I am looking foward to! Mezco will do a good job with Heroes or Sylar can eat my brain!

Considering that these are most likely prototypes, I think they look amazing! Time and time again I’m happy with what Mezco makes, unlike Neca and McStatue. The Hellboy stuff was so sweetly articulated I peed a little.
Hell, give me a full case of these puppies!

Please, its obvious this is just a bad puc, these are going to be good figures.
They haven’t screwed up yet. I start every morning with a spin of their Madam Mortuous from the Dark Carnival line.

Its just an oddly photoshopped picture. If you put it in photoshop and view it in black and white it looks great. It seems that Toy Fare just scr*wed up the pix.

I think Clare looks great. I want to write her love songs and haiku. Not the real Clare, I’m talking about this action figure. I loves her!

Toy Fare magazine has some of the lowest production values around. They could put the best looking peice of art on the cover and make it look like garbage.
These will be kick ass figures or my name isn’t Mr Roboto!
I bite my thumb at you Toy Fare art director, I bite my thumb at you!

Yeah, the Phopping is a little off, and one thing i’ve noticed with Mezco is that their finished products almost always look better than their prototypes… I’ll wait for better pictures…
January 8th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
I have ALWAYS been impressed with Mezco. Their products are always the highest quality, so I’m CONFIDENT that the finished product will exceed expectations! I CAN’T WAIT!
January 8th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Very cool! A quality show like HEROES deserves to be done right, and Mezco is the PERFECT company to do it. I’m glad that they are being done by someone who will do them justice.
January 8th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Mezco is tops ! they will get my order for sure.
January 8th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
can’t really tell much about claire from that pic, but you’re right, Sylar does look creepy… just like he’s supposed to! Where’s the rest of the lineup?
January 8th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
@ Enrique
ha ha I agree.
January 8th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
I love what they did with Scarface, I love what they did with Hellboy, and I know I’ll love what they do with Heroes. These pix are sh!t, leave it to Toy Fare to screw up a good thing.
A+ Mezco
F- Toy fair

Pfftt! The figures kick ass, if you actually read the article and look at the pix inside. Yes, the cover sucks but that is the fault of the magaine, somebody at Toy Fair needs a smacking!
I have faith in Mezco, they will do it right!
January 10th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
They don’t look like them at all.
