Posted by Curto on July 18, 2009 at 03:59 PM CST:


What do you get when you mix Mez-Itz, the hot new Designer Vinyl toy from Mezco, and 60 famous artists, designers, and F/X artists? The Mez-Itz Art Show!






Conceived as a celebration of its new collectible toy line, the Mez-Itz Art Show displays the amazing versatility of the Mez-Itz deceivingly simple design.

  • Each was supplied with a blank white vinyl figure and given one mandate; make it cool. The results are breathtaking. A Cyclops stares forlornly at a Val Kilmer Doc Holiday, an evil teddy bear stands beside a crystal covered zombie Michael Jackson. A cigar smoking cherub brushes wings with Nosferatu as a clockwork figure who could be related to Tic-Tock of Oz looks on. Each design seems better than the next, a true tour de force of artistic versatility.

    It all happens at booth 4145 at the epicenter of pop culture known as San Diego Comic Con. This year the festivities from July 22nd-26th and the Mez-Itz will be displayed for the entirety of the convention. Afterwards, the Mez-Itz will be displayed at a New York location that has yet to be revealed.



    Mezco will also be showing the new Hellboy and Abe Sapien Mez-Itz available exclusively at Toys"R"Us
