Mez-Itz

If you're unfamiliar with Mezco's line of Mez-itz collectibles, you're in for a real treat. Basically they take the look of your favorite character, turn it on its head, and make it ... well ... cute! I like my horror as visceral as the next guy, but it is really kind of hard not to dig on these little guys.

As always seems to be the case, if you want spoilers on the hottest movies today, you need to have your eyes on the world of plastic!

Some Canadian zombies are coming, and they want you to volunteer. No, not to be eaten, but to participate in their Halloween Walk. Actually, being zombies, it is technically more of a “shuffle”, but the concept is the same. And Mezco Toyz will be helping to support the Zombie Walk by supplying goodie bags to 150 participants and, for a limited time, giving a 10% discount on all orders that enter a special code.

Mezco's back with two new Mez-Itz that no self-respecting horror collectibles fan can be without: The Wolfman and a new original Zombie!

Mez-Itz used to be the small, blocky figures from Mezco, made up like your favorite horror baddies and several original series. While similar figure lines just painted their stock bodies and added tiny tweaks, the Mez-Itz offered a freaky amount of sculpting, even in the accessories. If you were ever in the market for a tiny little Necronomicon, this was the place to get it.

San Diego Comic-Con is SOLD OUT, meaning there will be more people than ever before gunning for the hottest convention exclusives. Dread Central does our part to help navigate the waters with a round-up of the bloody best the show has to offer. We kick things off with Mezco, who will be injecting a healthy dose of Hellboy into SDCC 09.
