Mezco 2016 SDCC tease

Shipping is a tad steep. But are you really saving ordering from Big Bad considering how much they may mark up the item?

Good point. Though I don’t think they will mark up the Mezco figures to the level of Mattel toys, the saving does gets canceled out.

But since Mezco doesn’t ship these outside US, BBTS is the likely option for international buyers especially if they don’t do parcel forwarding or have friends who will ship the items for them.

@adssse

Thanks. Do you think there is any chance of selling out before they carry it?

I don’t think it will sell out until next week. But if BBTS ends up listing them only in July, then you are risking it by waiting until then.

You make an excellent point for our friends abroad. BBTS would be a great solution for them.

Thanks, I will probably order it from Mezco just to be safe.

Thanks Vivek. I’m not the biggest fan of the red glow effect if that is what it is. I’d rather them just do the phasing part and paint the eyes and symbol like the regular version. I too wished they were consistent. Why don’t these companies understand stuff like that?

Here is what they tweeted back. So I guess the red paint has that glow effect.

“Tygra’s eyes/chest symbol have a special glow-in-the-dark paint application.”

Thanks Vivek. Their reply still confuses me. So, the eyes glow in the dark, but are they painted over red or are they yellow? I guess red? Still hope for yellow.

Is this only on the Exclusive Lion-O and Cheetara figures ?

[Vivek]

Mumm-Ra Exclusive figure had the glow the dark feature for the whole blue body, not sure about the eyes.

They are indeed painted red (not yellow), while still having the GID feature.

Figure in packaging.

Looks pretty cool.

It does look pretty cool. I only opted to get the Snarf plush this year. I unfortunately were one of those who slept on getting the mega figures (figuring id get them later - dirt cheap). There was a moment there when they were getting clearance out at $20 and under. Looking at the prices they command for on the 2nd market now, they command more money than i’m willing to pay for em. Lesson learned.
