You’ve probably seen the posts in your favorite toy collecting groups: frantic pleas from parents that are in search of rare, sought-after figures at retail prices, and definitely not for resale value.

MEZCO, ARE WE GOOD? IS IT SOMETHING WE SAID?

Over the last few days, multiple collectors have been receiving their Mossquatch from Mezco, and started to wonder if they did anything wrong.

BREAKING NEWS:

MEZCO, ARE WE GOOD? IS IT SOMETHING WE SAID?

Over the last few days, multiple collectors have been receiving their Mossquatch from Mezco, and started to wonder if they did anything wrong. Mezco is usually known to have good protection in their packages, along with extra goodies (stickers, a mez-itz blind bag which turns out to always be a golden grub,…). This time, Mossquatch was delivered without any bubble wrap, or any goodies. Something is off. ToyFarce investigated…

Multiple collectors, like @toy_bro, took to the internet to mention their package came with barely enough protection, in the form of a plastic sheet around the box.

@Prime2da1st on Instagram immediately wondered what was going on with his relationship with Mezco…

Collector Granger Benson on Facebook even mentioned that his Mossquatch arrived with a damaged box, and that Mezco would NOT send him a replacement (either a refund, or keep the figure with the damaged box)

Additionally, several items were discreetely delayed on the website, with their release dates pushed to the next quarter. You can see what was delayed on this very helpful graphic by @fabster360

ToyFarce sent a message to Mezco, and only received a reply saying “I’m fine.”

The only explanation is… we, collectors, must have done or said something that Mezco didn’t like, and we are now getting the cold shoulder. What was it? How can we know if Mezco is giving us the silent treatment? It’s going to be tricky.

To Mezco: How are you doing? Is there anything wrong? Talk to us. We can work things our if you tell us what is wrong… Please? I bought ice cream…

Update: Mezco’s status as now been “Typing…” for several minutes now. Please send help.

MEZCO’S NEWEST PRODUCT: PRE-SOLD OUT ACTION FIGURES!

Have you ever tried to buy a Mezco Toyz ‘One:12 Collective’ figure? Especially a Mezco Exclusive one, or a Gomez or a new character from their very own IP, ‘Rumble Society’?

BREAKING NEWS:

MEZCO’S NEWEST PRODUCT: PRE-SOLD OUT ACTION FIGURES!

Have you ever tried to buy a Mezco Toyz ‘One:12 Collective’ figure? Especially a Mezco Exclusive one, or a Gomez or a new character from their very own IP, ‘Rumble Society’? It’s like a love-hate relationship. If you did, you are aware of how things usually go:

First, Mezco randomly sends an email saying ‘there will be a drop at 1pm EST today’. Then, at 1pm EST, most people don’t even check what the new item is, add it to their cart right away, and proceed to the cursed checkout. Then, a battle starts between collectors wanting to buy an item, a flimsy checkout system and a race against time against other collectors trying to do the same thing at the same time. A few will have a seamless checkout experience, entering their credit card number or paying with paypal, and successfully purchasing the item. For others, it’s another story, with a ‘runtime error’ or ‘credit card error’ message appearing several times. (Yes, this man mezcoes.). Soon enough, the item is on waitlist. Frustrated collectors who didn’t manage to get the item go on social media to vent. Erase. Rinse. Repeat at the next drop.

Mezco has now found a solution to avoid that whole painful process, and it will be to sell action figures that are pre-sold out. From now on, the figures will be announced in an email, then we will get a glorious review video of the figure by the great D_Amazing, to get that nice FOMO, and after that, the page will go live, and the item will be sold out right away! That way, nobody will get it, scalpers won’t be able to do their thing, collectors won’t get it either (but they’re used to it by now), and everybody will be happy.

It’s nice to see a brand listen to their fans like that! Now, if we could get that nice Batman 1989 One:12 collective figure…

Did you ever buy something on Mezco’s website? Let us know how it went!
