Have you ever bought an expensive toy because of a viral marketing campaign?

Well it is an interesting license I guess but even as a huge fan of indie horror I don't really care.

Basically my reaction, though I had to look up the film and was surprised it was 2013 and not a newer movie they were making product for.
Such a weird choice, maybe someone who works there really likes it?

Being extremely late on things is mezco's signature move.

I imagine getting the license to make the figure was pretty cheap, that also could have played a role in it.

I mean if they wanted to grab cheap-ass, forgotten horror licenses, I feel like 80s movies would be heaven for them and the designs and demand would both be better than for this one. I didn't even know any of this existed or even heard anyone ever talk about it. Compare that to 80s stuff that NECA refuses to make like Pumpkinhead or Basketcase or Leprechaun or C.H.U.D. Can't imagine they'd be much more expensive to license but they'd sell much more than this one

That would be a better route to take. I know I would buy a Belial, Pumpkinhead or Leprechaun in a second and I don't even particularly like Mezco figurea. Hell, they could probably get a decent cut from the hipster market they like to cater to by doing more recent indie horror stuff. The Lighthouse, The Void, X/Pearl and the like have way more of a presence in the horror zeitgeist than the fucking Lord of Tears.

I had a similar idea, in fact, I thought this character was one of their originals and would hang out with Vex and fight Atticus Doom and Doc Nocturnal. Cool design but Pumpkinhead, Killer Klowns, or even Candyman would be a gain they could net over NECA. Give me a Cronenberg Fly or Naked Lunch set.

I would take back every negative thing I have ever said about Mezco if they made a Max Ren from Videodrome with a huge accessory load out. Naked Lunch would also be great.

I don't know. Probably. Most out there filmmakers from around that era have kind of a stick in the mud attitude about that sort of thing. I don't really care though since I think it would look nice next to my Blu-Ray of the movie.

McFarlane made a Fly figure in the 90s, so no. My point is that these pretentious film makers have somewhere down the line signed off on merchandise. You don't have to recede your hairline further to figure this out.

I wish companies wouldn't keep falling for the seamless meme, when has it ever actually worked and not resulted in a figure that tears apart in a year or two?

I know this is a really desperate plea for attention, given the reactions you've gotten in this thread. But it's like your reading level is far behind for someone who is nearing or at 40 years of age. Todd clearly takes the business where he can, look at his IP nets over the years. So no, he's not pretentious. I don't like onions, they are my least favorite topping for any occasion. You should either enroll in some online classes or take some medicine. Maybe call your parents and try to reconcile your relationship. Maybe they have made peace with you being a failure.

I have a lot of seemless figures that are 10+ years old, some I got second hand. the caveat is that you can't pose them much, but that's another story.

just paid 240AUD for a kintaro, its not even hot toys quality, or sideshow even, storm have the best movement ive seen from a figure though, but its not worth what they charge.

shits just expensive now, i used to be able to get a cheap sideshow for 240AUD shipped 10 years ago, i was thinking about a clint eastwood figure from hot toys but its 700+ with shipping now, its the most basic hot toys figure ever and its worth that much, used to be around 350 10 years ago.
