HELPING YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR FIGURE(S)!
Mezco Reveal The Spirit Figures
New The Spirit Figures have been announced by Mezco Toys, Hot Toys and DC Direct but which do you think are the best? My money is on Hot Toys who are generally considered to be the masters of the 1/6 scale market, but Mezco's 12 Vinyl figure also sounds like it could be a good contender, and their 7-inch figures? The jury still out on these and until we get to see some more pics and images we'll have to wait and see. The movie is an adaption of the legendary comic strip, WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT which is a classic action-adventure-romance story. The Spirit is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the SPIRIT (Gabriel Macht) of the title to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the OCTOPUS (Samuel L. Jackson), however has different plans and is intent on wiping out the Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. Written and directed by genre-twister Frank Miller (creator of 300 and SIN CITY.) it is due to be released on Christmas Day, and looks to be one of the holiday hits this season. This first series contains 5 dynamic The Spirit figures from Mezco includes:

The ultimate superhero, The Spirit has mysteriously returned from the dead, much like Lazarus, and taken on a vigilante crusade to eradicate the lawless elements of Central City with the blessing of the police commissioner. He was once an ordinary man, a promising police officer named Detective Denny Colt who was cold-heartedly murdered by the criminals that he puts behind bars. Now that he has somehow found a way to come back and become a superhero, he has become a newfound headache and fear for the underworld criminals by bringing right to their doorstep his own form of justice.
