Robo, when you're rotating the arm, you gotta counterrotate the leather to keep it from bunching up and such. That's allowed me to get the arm in more extreme positions than I initially thought I could.
The holster breaking is a more wide spread problem as mentioned before. The problem is it's almost hard to tell with the naked eye, but it's not really truly back in when you try to pop it back in. There is a thin hairline crack on the top "circular" part that makes it almost impossible to get back in! Ultimately what I had to do was heat it up so I could wrap it back up on the peg part, then get the thin pointy end of the dental floss sticks and dab some glue on it, that way I could gently glue it in place and it's actually kept it from popping off and oddly enough increased his mobility
I actually cut a part talking about how it looks like it's working it's way back out, didn't want to devote more time to it. It hasn't popped back out but it definitely looks like it is separating. I see glue in the future.
That peg scare highlights an issue I hadn't even thought of with these - there's a pretty good chance stuff could pop or break in there without me knowing until something just falls over on a shelf. I REALLY, REALLY like the look of this version, though - the colors make the sculpt pop better, I think, the harness is cool, and I think they pulled off the leather-cloth transition pretty well. One note with that rifle, though - is it me, or does it look like he has a bunch of overlapping sights that would make using any of them almost impossible? It would fit the character! I think if I'm going to go in on this line it's going to be a Red Skull, because those look SO much better than any Legends version so far. Great video!
I really like this figure a lot. My only issue is how loose the gun clips can be. Leaving me paranoid it'll fall and disappear behind the depths behind the hard to move furniture.
I think Mezco has to keep improving because so far they're mostly very interesting experiments with the ocassionally amazing release (Punisher, TDKR Batman, Cap). IMO having an action figure that you can't move THAT much (in DP's case, because of the leather-like parts and bad ankles) is not very appealing to me. I still do like what they're trying to do and I wouldn't mind getting the characters they get right AND can move pretty well. If they ever release a Swamp Thing I will lose my mind.
fwoosh, I have to say you sold me on this guy. i was literally scared of owning a figure with cloth and leather surrounding his entire body. like would the leather go bad or if i make a hole in the cloth. it scared me but i went out and got it and i dont regret it at all.
I have this aswell! It's a very good figure and this was a very good review although I would like to say that the grenades do go into his belt, exactly where you were putting it, and also on the back
my situation is with Playarts kai...even with their worst figures i still like it. back to this Deadpool again, i want to know if we can put a grenade in the outfit or not? i'm not sure :/
Yo robo! My D pool holsters came apart also.....I super glued them back together because my fat fingers could not get that peg back in to save my life. I was pretty pissed but still like the figure and the line
I have a few Mezco One: 12's and I agree with the non-uniformity of the head and body but I feel it works for some characters, like Daredevil seeing as his suit is leather but his cowl is a harder material, in the comics, it translates well into the figures. Same for Captain America but SOME characters get it real bad like Spidey, and to a lesser extent Deadpool. Maybe further down the line they'll get better in meshing them together with textures and create a good illusion of plastic being ''cloth''.
You mentioned a new camera. Is that to record the review or for still photos? It looks like there’s not as many frames per second as the last camera. Or is it just me? Definitely looks different.
Actually, you're right. It seems that even though I have video set to 60fps, because of another setting it shot at 24fps. The old camera was 30 fps. I took some of the still with it and pulled out the DSLR for some of the more distance shots, couldn't get the detail with the new one. Thanks for the heads up, I wouldn't have noticed the frame rate. Must keep tinkering....
Oooo, depends. If I need a figure to stand there and look pretty cool with other figures from other lines I'd go Mezco. If I need a crazy posed leaping through the air over everyone else figure I'd go Amazing Yamaguchi. But I think if there was a fire and I could only grab one, I'd grab the Mezco.
The Fwoosh yeah I saw it in a comic book store the other day and it didn't look too bad. I figured I'd come back to this video before I made a call on it though
As someone who love Revo DP I should be the last one to complain about aesthetics (lol), but the plastic mask head (after seamless cloth body) and the *_turtleneck_* is really bothersome.
In my opinion this figure is the most esthetic in 1/12 scale but not the most pose-able Gonna purchase it anyway x) Is mezco more expensive because of using soft parts ?
That and they don't have production runs as large as other lines. Smaller runs=higher cost. And yeah, from what I hear cloth is expensive to work with.
Hey Robo did you ever get his harness fully back together ??? The same damn thing happened to mine and I CANNOT get the @#&*%+! thing back together at all !!! I was wondering if you have any suggestions as to how to fix it ? YET ANOTHER AWESOME REVIEW BTW !!!
the holster peg is a widespread problem, same thing happened to me but on both sides. I couldnt get them back in and just gave up and left it unpegged. Visually this harness is good looking but they shouldve done the leg holster pegs the same way they did PX punisher's. I think the x-force deadpool will be the best of the 3, but as far as durability, the SDCC one, since that one is all cloth and no pleather (so no chance of flaking over time). also im not a fan of katana sheaths being straight up and down, i like them crossed more since it's not as cumbersome and i just like the way that would like more lol. Overall i really like this figure, i have it posed pretty dynamically and it looks great with marvel legends, cant wait for my x-force one, it think that one will have this one beat as it uses the SDCC harness but gives you a leg holster that doesnt need to peg in, so no hinderances on leg articulartion or arms. With the red deadpool harness i felt like it was way more fragile and was constantly scared of breaking it.
Cool review Robo! For some reason I think Deadpool would have really benefited from some additional details on the actual costume. Just seems like the chest area is really plain and it stands out. I think some more sculpted sections or piping would make a big difference.
I really love the Revoltech but as far as shelf presence and fitting in with the rest I gotta give it to the Legends HasCon X-Force Deadpool. I love the colors and such there. Just barely edges the Mezco X-Men DP.
Wonder why it's taking so long, considering Headpool is the only difference. Which, now that I'm thinking about it, I'd love that Headpool. I have the one from Lady Deadpool Marvel Select but......yeah.....never enough.
Damn it robo, I’ve seen this review like 6 times in the last two weeks trying to decide if I wanna use my limited budget on this figure or wait on something else. Ugh. Decisions decisions
Mezco really needs to fix their effing ankles. That being said, at least every figure comes with it's own stand so you can still get great poses even without the ankle rocker.
Looks like I spoke too soon. Have you seen D Amazing's reviews for the con exclusive Wolverine and Red Skull? Looks like they are now address the ankle pivot issues. Too bad all of the Caps, Daredevils, Deadpools and Punishers have the old, crap ankles. The stands still really help though.
Lol I feel like robo is subtly trying to make himself feel better by justifying why he bought the figure"I mean after get the xmen colored exclusive one ,I had to get this cuz it's Deadpool......but in RED" please don't take offense to this robo I love you alot and your work and your videos which I guess is your work?
Haha, no no, I totally get it. I'm a total sucker for the character itself, always have been, so even with it's faults I give it a pass. I'm ready for a real test of the line, a character that I won't fawn over but will judge by the actual figure merits. But it doesn't hurt to sneak in with something I'm going to like either way, heheh.
This company is incredible when it comes to sculpting and attention to detail, but I cannot stand the use of soft goods. It's completely unnecessary in this scale. The large areas of bright red, undefined muscle and large stitch work clashes with the intricate detailing and paintwork of the plastic parts. Plus it hinders articulation and probably reduces the long term durability.
Trust me, someone who has 8 Mezco figures sitting out right in front of him, when I say that the soft goods do *not* hinder the articulation. All of these figures have at least as much if not more range than any given Marvel Legends in all joints except the ankles, and that's due to the engineering of the ankle rather than any issue with soft goods. Plus, if you're looking for a figure where you can see every single muscle striation, every nook and cranny through the fabric, than you'll never find anything, even in life-size, because skintight fabric doesn't work like that. And it's not like everything's completely undefined, it's just that you can mostly only see the convex shapes through the fabric (as is realistic) rather than the concave shapes, and how well you can see the convex shapes can depend on the lighting. I've heard time and again people voice very similar complaints to yours, until they got a Mezco figure in hand, and then they just absolutely loved it. Sure, that's not everyone; there are some people that just can't like it at all, but the majority of people I've seen that have said those same complaints and then gotten a Mezco figure in hand did a complete 180.
Rafael Chavez Yeah, my first entry was the PX Exclusive Teal DKR Batman, and that convinced me the line was doing something special. After that, I got Daredevil, then Normal Punisher and Normal Cap, and I sold Normal Cap to get Classic Cap, then I got Reverse Flash, then Green Arrow, then I sold Normal Punisher to get Classic Punisher on eBay (yes, I massively overpaid for it), then Deadpool, and finally, Flash. I'm definitely in for the long haul with this line. The only figure that's already out that I need to get is Shazam; Joker, I don't feel like I need to get, as they said they're gonna make another couple versions of him.
Just ordered this guy. It'll be my first Mezco, can't wait.
Hows it hold up
Bruh
Noice
Aw man you've got it made. Living the dream talking about toys lol. Love the show guys keep it up
I got mine, can't wait to crack it open! Great review robo
I don't think you'll be disappointed!
Esos Hunters
So far this DP is the only Mezco I have opened. It is awesome, but the shoulder area material bothers me. I don't like how it binds.
Hey Fwoosh I'm curious if you had to pick one deadpool action figure as your favorite which would it be?
"It's so the bad guys can't see me bleed!"
The green and yellow deadpool reminds me of kick-ass
I just got mine today as well as cap and I couldn't be happier
Funny you mention that, this made me order the classic Cap just earlier today. I'm falling down that rabbit hole!
Robo, when you're rotating the arm, you gotta counterrotate the leather to keep it from bunching up and such. That's allowed me to get the arm in more extreme positions than I initially thought I could.
Oh, hmm, I'll have to give that a try.
Robo just over there chilling with a mezco punisher and he's sold out everywhere lol. Great review Robo!
Haha, I don't know what my mental hangup is with opening that thing. I'm going to. But when??
I'm getting mine soon! Just ordered it. It looks awesome!
There is some clearance between the belt and the Deadpool love handles to clip on a few grenades.
Is there? I can't seem to find any gap.
Saw this too. Mine has plenty of room, maybe not supppsed to be that way?
Beardy stop beign such a wuss and open the Punisher, it one of the best (if not THE best) figures on the line and you are going to love him too
Thing is, I KNOW I will love it.

I think if I'm going to go in on this line it's going to be a Red Skull, because those look SO much better than any Legends version so far. Great video!
It's common to cowitness iron sights with optics on a fighting rifle
gotta love a good old classy turtle neck onesie XD
I really like this figure a lot. My only issue is how loose the gun clips can be. Leaving me paranoid it'll fall and disappear behind the depths behind the hard to move furniture.
Definitely trying this out.
At 8:19 I always bust out laughing whenever that happens to you. I don't know why but it gets me every time. xD
Haha, I was born to suffer!
I think Mezco has to keep improving because so far they're mostly very interesting experiments with the ocassionally amazing release (Punisher, TDKR Batman, Cap). IMO having an action figure that you can't move THAT much (in DP's case, because of the leather-like parts and bad ankles) is not very appealing to me.

I really like how that Deadpool figure look
fwoosh, I have to say you sold me on this guy. i was literally scared of owning a figure with cloth and leather surrounding his entire body. like would the leather go bad or if i make a hole in the cloth. it scared me but i went out and got it and i dont regret it at all.
Believe me, I felt the exact same way. I still do, really, having a few more now but only opening a few. I love them but they still scare me, haha.
I have this aswell! It's a very good figure and this was a very good review although I would like to say that the grenades do go into his belt, exactly where you were putting it, and also on the back
It's like when you get a mezco figure you get stuck in addiction
That's dame true. For Revoltech too. It's kind of that "you either hate them completely, or love them unconditionally" type situations.
my situation is with Playarts kai...even with their worst figures i still like it.
back to this Deadpool again, i want to know if we can put a grenade in the outfit or not?
i'm not sure :/
I'm stuck with the addiction of collecting 1/10 scale Iron Studios statues.
Question about the leather will it crack or get destroyed in the future
Not sure but I haven't had a problem so far.
The Fwoosh it means the leather are quality enough for years?
Yo robo! My D pool holsters came apart also.....I super glued them back together because my fat fingers could not get that peg back in to save my life. I was pretty pissed but still like the figure and the line
Yeah, I nearly lost my coll trying to get it back in there, but still love the figure. For the most part.
Great review brother!!! He's an awesome figure...
I didn't know that brand Nezco. Its awesome! New sub! 😉
After 5 years, is black part still good?
Spray the magazines in floor polish, only a coat or two. It will dry clear and will add enough additional material to add friction.
Ooo, not a bad idea. And your avatar makes me want 6-inch M.A.S.K. figures.
I was going to suggest that also. I've used that method on so many figures lol
Great review my man!
I have a few Mezco One: 12's and I agree with the non-uniformity of the head and body but I feel it works for some characters, like Daredevil seeing as his suit is leather but his cowl is a harder material, in the comics, it translates well into the figures.

Maybe further down the line they'll get better in meshing them together with textures and create a good illusion of plastic being ''cloth''.
You remind me that I need to grab a Captain America. And you're totally right. In fact, now I want a DD too.
Any chance a can buy the Evil Sensei Articulated Icons?
There should be another sale happening in the near future.
Thank you! My ninjas need an evil Sensei and maybe more ninjas
I hope we get this rereleased
Did you get the yellow suit wolverine?
I haven't gotten it yet but I do have it on pre-order. Can not wait.
You mentioned a new camera. Is that to record the review or for still photos?
It looks like there’s not as many frames per second as the last camera. Or is it just me? Definitely looks different.

Thanks for the heads up, I wouldn't have noticed the frame rate. Must keep tinkering....
if you could only pick up one which is better, Mezco or the Amazing Yamaguchi?
Oooo, depends. If I need a figure to stand there and look pretty cool with other figures from other lines I'd go Mezco. If I need a crazy posed leaping through the air over everyone else figure I'd go Amazing Yamaguchi. But I think if there was a fire and I could only grab one, I'd grab the Mezco.
The more reviews on this figure line the more I want to start a collection..what figure would you personally recommend I start with?
I'd probably say Punisher. I haven't opened mine but I've messed with several, it's definitely an amazing piece.
I was leaning towards him or a Captain America I'll do the punisher cause I really like the way he looks
Love the picture at the end with all the dead pools, are you getting the figma one that’s due out next month?
Oh hell yeah. Every Deadpool. All of them.
I actually thought that X-men Deadpool was a Kick-Ass Deadpool :D
In some light it really does look green.
The only thing that's keeping me from getting this figure is the body to head texture/look doesn't look like it lines up
That's exactly my biggest problem. Not as noticeable in person but it still bugs me.
The Fwoosh yeah I saw it in a comic book store the other day and it didn't look too bad. I figured I'd come back to this video before I made a call on it though
As someone who love Revo DP I should be the last one to complain about aesthetics (lol), but the plastic mask head (after seamless cloth body) and the *_turtleneck_* is really bothersome.
Okay, yeah, I can see what you mean about the turtleneck.
When did Mr. Garrison from South Park start reviewing figures?
In my opinion this figure is the most esthetic in 1/12 scale but not the most pose-able
Gonna purchase it anyway x)
Is mezco more expensive because of using soft parts ?
That and they don't have production runs as large as other lines. Smaller runs=higher cost. And yeah, from what I hear cloth is expensive to work with.

I think it's just barely holding on and I never went back to try to secure it. I need to do that sometime.
Dope figure
Dope video

Gah, I didn't even consider the flaking, and you make a great point about the sheathes.
Cool review Robo! For some reason I think Deadpool would have really benefited from some additional details on the actual costume. Just seems like the chest area is really plain and it stands out. I think some more sculpted sections or piping would make a big difference.
Yeah, but I think that would cause more trouble for the softgoods. I don't know, give and take.
Hey fwoosh what is your favorite deadpool figure?
I really love the Revoltech but as far as shelf presence and fitting in with the rest I gotta give it to the Legends HasCon X-Force Deadpool. I love the colors and such there. Just barely edges the Mezco X-Men DP.
Ahh interesting choice but nice, thanks for the reply.
awaiting special edition... still waiting...
That comes with the Headpool accessory right?
The Fwoosh yes. they have given vague release date. only distributors got the regular
Wonder why it's taking so long, considering Headpool is the only difference. Which, now that I'm thinking about it, I'd love that Headpool. I have the one from Lady Deadpool Marvel Select but......yeah.....never enough.
Damn it robo, I’ve seen this review like 6 times in the last two weeks trying to decide if I wanna use my limited budget on this figure or wait on something else. Ugh. Decisions decisions
It really is a good figure but there is a lot of Deadpool stuff coming. Depends on what you're looking for, really.

hey Fwoosh. are you from North Carolina? cuz you got some southern in you
Arkansas. So a little Southern, a little hillbilly.
@@TheFwoosh Oh. I'm a southern guy myself. Born and raised in North Carolina
I am getting that one
Open that punisher already dammit lol. You are doing yourself and the figure in question a serious disservice.
figma needs to hurry up as well. dx preordered
Same here. I need more Deadpool!

I feel like you should have reviewed this one first...
They probably should have released this one first, heh.
The body looks blank to me
Yeah, this figure had the unfortunate fate of being one of the first shot on my new camera. A lot of the details and textures didn't come through.
this was my first mezco and honestly it was a dissapointment... all the joints were lose and his hand would keep falling out
Sadly, it seems you have a fake
@@harley7623 :(
Fwoosh destroying their figures, so you don't have to.
Destroying? Exploring!
first
If the mask was a bit removable wow. I think mezco products are getting bit cheaply made.
This is pedantic in a way I couldn’t even get more than halfway through. Sorry bruh.
That's perfectly okay. There are more than enough reviewers that may be more up your alley.
