In a world where Marvel keeps the gears of hype turning, it seems the summer blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine refuses to fade into the cinematic sunset. As the film reaches the dizzying heights of over $1.3 billion worldwide, it cements its position as the highest-grossing rated-R film of all time. No surprise there; the chaotic charm of our favorite anti-hero and his grumpy sidekick Wolverine is a recipe for box office gold. But, of course, it’s not just the film that’s making waves—it’s the avalanche of merchandise that follows in its wake.
Enter Mezco Toyz, a name that’s become synonymous with collectibles, especially for fans who can’t resist the siren call of beautifully articulated action figures. Their latest offering? A new Deadpool figure from the One:12 Collective series that promises to turn your shelf into a miniature battlefield. Standing at a modest 17 centimeters tall, this deluxe edition figure boasts over 30 points of articulation—a veritable dance of poseability that would make even the most dedicated action figure aficionados weak in the knees.
But the accessories are where the real magic lies. With four pairs of interchangeable magnet eyes, 15 hands, two katana swords, and an impressive array of weapons—including three throwing knives and four weapon effects—this figure isn’t just for display; it’s a battle-ready companion for those late-night, post-nerd sessions. And let’s not forget Deadpool’s pals, Dogpool and Babypool, who tag along for the ride, adding a bit of hilarity to the mix. All of this, available for the steal of a price at $100 USD. Who knew being a fan could be so financially draining?
As for the film itself, Deadpool & Wolverine has brought forth a unique blend of violence and humor, punctuated by Reynolds’ typical fourth-wall-breaking antics. The narrative sees Wade Wilson, now a shadow of his former self after failing to join The Avengers, being pulled back into action by the Time Variance Authority (TVA). His mission? Save his universe from the brink of destruction, dragging along a less-than-enthusiastic Wolverine in the process. It’s a ride filled with meta-commentary, chaotic action, and the kind of emotional undercurrents that might actually tug at your heartstrings if you’re not careful.
The film’s combination of humor and high-stakes action has resonated with fans and critics alike, reflected in its impressive 78% certified fresh rating from critics and a 94% certified fresh fan score on Rotten Tomatoes. In a cinematic landscape that often feels stale, Deadpool & Wolverine delivers that much-needed jolt of adrenaline. As we gear up for more MCU content, including the upcoming Agatha All Along series on Disney+, one can only hope that the high momentum continues into the new year.
For now, though, if you’re eager to add the new Deadpool figure to your collection, head to Mezco Toyz’s website and pre-order this marvel of a collectible. Expected to ship between February and April 2025, it’s just one more piece in the ever-expanding universe of merchandise that makes you question your priorities. But hey, who needs savings when you can have Deadpool on your desk?
