PARKS AND REC figures . Strange to see Tom and Chris omitted. Maybe the actors need to sign off?

Glad to see the Ron and Tammy 2 Wedding Night episode represented here (complete with rubbed-off-from-friction moustache, wink-wink). That was probably my favorite ep of them all.

I like Super7, but the cost of these very basic figures seems pretty high. Even the GI Joes, with higher production and spots at retail, aren’t any cheaper.  Licensing fees must be a bear.

I've been a fan of MEZCO TOYZ for some time... and I'm really interested in the Wolverine (Deluxe) Steel Box Edition... looks amazing and comes with a lot of accessories... 


What really caught my eye is the series of head sculpts, including his first appearance mask!

Currently shopping around for the most reasonable price.

I've had a few Mezco figures, and have found the 'pleather' covering they use on parts of the fabric costumes is easily prone to flaking after a while, which creates noticeable and unsightly gaps which show the material underneath.

Not as much of an issue with some figures (the DKR Mutant Leader, or Dredd for example, where a rougher/weathered look at least fits with the character to a degree) - and the less a figure is posed and re-posed, the better.

Looks like Wolverine only has that type of fabric on his trunks - might be something to bear in mind though before committing.

I've recently moved on to Mafex over Mezco - aside from wired fabric capes, the costumes are all part of the mould, and I don't find that detracts ; appreciated though that it's down to personal choice ! :-)

A few shots of Mafex's Wolverine - different proposition to the Mezco, I appreciate ...
