Summary
A redesign of Mezco's earlier Nemo figures, this Captain Nemo offers two distinct, highly detailed head sculpts and a rich nautical-themed costume with multiple accessories including weapons, a collapsible spyglass, and a functioning harpoon with retractable line. The figure’s standout features include a metal lunchbox-style packaging, extensive hand options, and a sculpted skeletal hand mounted on a plaque, adding narrative depth. Despite some articulation restrictions due to tight clothing, its vibrant paintwork, accessory variety, and thematic accuracy make it a notable non-superhero addition to the line.
Pros
- Two distinct head sculpts: a stern, textured visage with detailed hair and a more emotional, angry expression with dynamic hair and beard
- Extensive accessories including 11 extra hands, removable harpoon with functional string and reel, scimitar with scabbard, dagger with scabbard, sparklock pistol with holster, spyglass, sextant, and skeletal hand mounted on shark jaws
- Multiple interchangeable holsters/packs for the right thigh for customizable display options
- Wired cloak edges allowing dynamic posing of the cloth
- Highly detailed sculpting on costume pieces such as chest armor and belts
- Bright, vibrant nautical-themed paint palette with aged metallic finishes and detailed small elements like gold accents and teeth
- Metal lunchbox-style packaging with collector-friendly internal trays and rich artwork
- Includes a small comic book and a Nautilus submarine reproduction accessory
- Approximately 6.5” tall, fitting well within the 1:12 scale line
Cons
- Limited neck articulation due to long hair and beard
- Tight leather pants restrict hip and knee articulation
- Cloak is wide through the shoulders and fits awkwardly despite internal elastic loops
- Higher price point ($112 retail) may deter some collectors given no electronic features
