Sounds like KD knows it's not coming. He just wants to see how long they'll keep up the dishonest charade.
Exactly right. How many years do you think they'll say 'it's coming' before they just stop answering my emails or tell me to piss off?
@red_ogre To be fair.. I didn't full on hate them until the previous Conan figure. I was giving them the chance to come back and send the replacement, as they said they would, and all could be forgiven. So the hate didn't settle in until I'd really already pre-ordered King Conan. Solomon Kane was great, after all. Now I've got the third Conan, other companies are making their own Conan figures, and I'm not seeing how there'd be any reason for me to ever buy from Mezco ever again.
Obviously, I'm a toy collector. Can't ever say never. But I don't see what they could possibly trot out that would ever make me again want to reward them being a company of liars and dipshits. So.. I'll probably steer clear. But who knows!
@scottg10 Thanks for the info. Here's hoping I can get this guy, as I've wanted a Blank figure since the Playmates days!
@rexmason Me too, but I really want someone to do a third party/knock-off of the Playmates version. I will never own the real thing, I'd just be happy to have one in my Playmates Dick Tracy display.

I saw someone post a $200 knockoff or something not too long ago on a facebook post, so they might be floating around ebay. I sold my Tracy figures as a kid, which still bums me out, but these Mezcos are really hitting the spot for me more than going back and hunting down the original line. (Which I still might do someday.) I had all of them except for the Blank and the cars, which I never knew existed until I was an adult. One the casualties of the pre-internet days. Wonder how the Playmates cars would scale with the Mezco figures for display?
Junkyard Joe is going up for pre-order tomorrow. It's a Mezco Direct Exclusive, so it'll only be available on Mezco's site. Well, unless it's one of the random MDXs that BBTS decides to sell, though with them it'll be more expensive and will just randomly pop up on their site one day.
I heard Mezco is making Shatterstar in his red and white outfit. One head with gear, another with a headband....and I'm not seeing how there'd be any reason for me to ever buy from Mezco ever again.
There's so much stitching on Junkyard Joe that it kinda sticks out to me. You'd think micro-stitching would be a thing by now. No extra head or crazy LED makes the price seem high to me as well.
Beetlejuice is going up for pre-order later today. Doesn't seem to be an exclusive, so it should be available on BBTS and other such online stores.
@mistervoorhees Sweet! There are so many accessories he can come with. Can't wait to see it.
Beetlejuice is up for $155. A little pricey but he does look good and come with a ton of stuff.
I'm ok with the price considering all he comes with. 2 different light up items and both the Carousel (with hammer arms) and shrunken head?! Heck yeah! I really wanted a sand snake (even small) as well, but you can't win them all.
That Beetlejuice figure is crying out for a two versions roll-out. No interest in paying that much money for a bunch of stuff I'd never display him with.
Samurai Jack is great news for me. I don't like the property enough to buy it, but it means early '00s nostalgia is finally coming around.
