When Mezco first showed their exclusive version of the One:12 Collective Red Skull, I knew I had to have him. I usually shy away from this line because of the cost (though I contend the figures are a good value for the price), this figure ticked all my boxes—perfect scale for the rest of my Marvel collection, an important character rendered in a version I adamantly needed, and more so one that works very well with the One:12 signature mix of soft goods, and highly detailed sculpts with plenty of articulation and accessories.
Red Skull comes with two heads, three sets of hands, a sidearm, flamethrower, and of course—the Cosmic Cube. You also get the usual, handsome Mezco display base and clear stand.
I love both of these Red Skull heads. They look spot on to the classic, silver and bronze age Red Skull that I grew up on. The alternate head especially looks like it’s right out of Tales of Suspense.
While it may seem that the green jumpsuit choice is a bit on the bland side, Mezco makes sure that there’s great texture and detail in the areas like boots, accessories, etc.
This is my second Mezco One:12 figure, and I’m very happy with it. The line’s a bit too expensive for me to become a completist, but each time I do get one, it feels like a small luxury. I look forward to the next one. Iron Man, perhaps?
