BREAKING NEWS:

MEZCOā€™S NEWEST PRODUCT: PRE-SOLD OUT ACTION FIGURES!

Have you ever tried to buy a Mezco Toyz ā€˜One:12 Collectiveā€™ figure? Especially a Mezco Exclusive one, or a Gomez or a new character from their very own IP, ā€˜Rumble Societyā€™? Itā€™s like a love-hate relationship. If you did, you are aware of how things usually go:

First, Mezco randomly sends an email saying ā€˜there will be a drop at 1pm EST todayā€™. Then, at 1pm EST, most people donā€™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, itā€™s another story, with a ā€˜runtime errorā€™ or ā€˜credit card errorā€™ message appearing several times. (Yes, this man mezcoes.). Soon enough, the item is on waitlist. Frustrated collectors who didnā€™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 wonā€™t be able to do their thing, collectors wonā€™t get it either (but theyā€™re used to it by now), and everybody will be happy.

Itā€™s nice to see a brand listen to their fans like that! Now, if we could get that nice Batman 1989 One:12 collective figureā€¦

Did you ever buy something on Mezcoā€™s website? Let us know how it went!
