The 2013 Toy Fair is fast approaching, hitting New York City later this week and NerdyRottenScoundrel.com will be there every step of the way.
Mezco Toyz went in early and held a special preview press conference of their Toy Fair treats at their Long Island City HQ for select media. Following a rundown by Mezco's main man Drake, decked out in a Hazmat suit, we were invited into their toy vault where they revealed some of their new products set to hit shelves later this year.
From what I saw, I will be posting reports on their new goodies unveiled based on
Breaking Bad,
ThunderCats and
Man of Steel.
First up will be
Breaking Bad. Perhaps not the first show you may think of when it comes to a toy line, but Mezco knows a good thing when they see it and made sure to put their stamp on it in the form of plush dolls, BobbleHeads, money clips and stash boxes based on the AMC hit show.
Bearing a striking resemblance to Bryan Cranston, the six-inch Walter White bobble head is decked out in a yellow Hazmat suit and stands atop, what else, a mini mound of crystal meth.
For the softer side of
Breaking Bad, Mezco has for you eight-inch plush doll versions of Heiseberg and former student turned business partner Jesse in their street clothes. The four-inch clip-on plush dolls depiction Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) sporting their yellow jump suits.
Mezco Toyz' Drake gives us the rundown at the Long Island City, New York press conference before the showroom tour.
You can check out all of Mezco's toys at
their official website, where many of these sure-to-be collector's favorites can be pre-ordered. In addition to what we see here and in my follow up posts on ThunderCats and DC Universe, Mezco also has existing lines based on South Park, Universal Monsters, Mars Attacks! as well.
