From Living Dead Dolls to Superheroes, Mezco Toyz’ Action Figures Are Made By Fans For Fans

For many collectors and admirers of action figures, Mezco Toyz is a familiar name. This company has taken on big-league brand names like Funko, Hasbro, and Bandai to carve out its place in the collectible market. And fans are here for it. Mezco prioritizes quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and unique designs to bring fans the characters they love most, as well as original lines that never fail to surprise and delight.

Mezco’s care and dedication to fans have been one of its stand-out features from the very beginning. Michael “Mez” Markowitz, the founder of Mezco Toyz, has always had a passion for action figures and is an avid collector himself. He understands exactly what fans are looking for in their favorite characters. In an interview back in 2008, Mike Drake, the then-Director of Special Projects, described Mezco as the company that sells toys “built by fans for fans.” It’s something that sets it apart from many of its competitors and has propelled it to its status as a household name.

Many on the collectible scene will have encountered Mezco’s Living Dead Dolls. First produced in 1998, these eerie, captivating dolls have garnered a massive following over the years. In 2014, the line was awarded the world record for the ‘Longest Continually Produced Series Of Collectible Horror Themed Dolls’. Over the past ten years, Living Dead Dolls have grown steadily more popular and the line has expanded with both original and character-based dolls. Their Wednesday Adams, based on Netflix’s series, really captured fans’ imaginations and the bizarre beauty of the show. Each doll is meticulously designed and handcrafted and is strangely beautiful, despite the often-terrifying character it depicts.

But it’s Mezco’s superhero line that has brought it into many fan’s eyes, minds, and homes in recent years. The action figures are highly articulated, allowing fans to enjoy the versatility and dynamism of their favorite heroes. The Mezco One:12 Collective: The Amazing Spider-Man Deluxe Figure has thirty-two points of articulation, five different head portraits, and eighteen interchangeable hands, not to mention eight web formations. Spider-Man’s nemesis, The Green Goblin, comes to life in the One:12 collective with the same incredible creativity and flexibility. The attention to detail is simply staggering. It really demonstrates the care and love Mezco puts into each and every action figure. Stepping into a market overflowing with great but static collectibles, Mezco brings something new to the table that fans can’t get enough of.

As Mezco Toyz continues to evolve and expand its range, fans can look forward to even more exciting releases in the future. Mezco refuses to be boxed into a single genre: aside from the Dead Living Dolls and superhero lines, they have produced action figures for TV shows like Breaking Bad, Scooby Doo, and Popeye, and classic movies including Reservoir Dogs, Jim Carey’s The Mask, and the Indiana Jones series. Mezco has consistently shown its determination to have something for everyone. The company’s dedication to fans and commitment to quality, innovation, and originality has solidified its place as one of the leading brands in the action figure industry.
