Last summer, I raved about the 18-inch Deluxe "Hellboy II" Abe Sapien figure from Mezco Toyz that debuted during the San Diego Comic-Con and has been a permanent fixture at Splash Page HQ ever since. Well, the Mezco crew has come through again — this time, with another ridiculously cool, over-sized figure from the upcoming film "Kick-Ass."
We have your first, exclusive look at the 12-inch "Kick-Ass" figure before it debuts at this weekend's Toy Fair 2010 convention (final sculpt pending licensor approval):
Based on the hit series from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., "Kick-Ass" is directed by Matthew Vaughn and follows a teenage comic book fan who decides to become a costumed vigilante. Along the way, he manages to both receive and give a fair amount of ass-kicking, inspire a few more costumed crimefighters and discover why there aren't more vigilantes out there righting wrongs.
Mezco's 12-inch "Kick-Ass" figure, based on the likeness of actor Aaron Johnson, doesn't have a street date yet. Another figure, based on the Hit Girl character (played by Chloe Moretz in the film), will also be available. No price has been set yet for the figures.
"Kick-Ass" is scheduled to arrive in theaters April 16.
You can head over to Mezco Toyz for more information about their Toy Fair 2010 lineup, and keep it locked to Splash Page for more "Kick-Ass" movie news and reports from Toy Fair 2010.
