Comic-Con Exclusive Dark Knight Returns Batman vs. Mutant Leader Figure Set by Mezco
 |
Assuming everyone isn’t so burned out on Frank Miller that they retroactively hate his earlier greatness too, this could be the hot ticket in summer con exclusives. Mezco’s 1/12 scale cloth-costumed Dark Knight figure was a hot enough ticket already, and their announcement of the first-ever Mutant Leader at Toy Fair a big deal. Now we get a box set of both with exclusive battle deco, alternate parts, torn Batsuit and a polystone base. At $150 it’s not cheap, but that’s still only half a Hot Toys or Sideshow figure, and it’s guaranteed to look cooler than whatever pale imitation of this scene Zack Snyder puts onscreen.
As with other Mezco Comic-Con exclusives, there are extras available to preorder online directly, starting tomorrow. So there’s nothing wring with this offer that you can’t fix with your own two keyboard hands.
