Summary
Hmm…Reissued Popeye features notable changes from the original release, including a darker skin tone that affects the overall aesthetic, particularly how the joints blend with the body. The figure retains its unique accessories, such as multiple hats and spinach cans, while the application of 5:00 shadow adds character but may not appeal to all collectors. This reissue is positioned as a more accessible version at a lower price point, making it a worthwhile option for both Popeye fans and collectors.
Pros!
- Unique darker skin tone compared to the original release, with detailed tattoos.
- Realistic facial features that capture Popeye’s character well.
- Accessories include multiple hats (captain’s hat, sailor cap, and beanie), a compass, telescope, and spinach cans, adding play value.
- Good detailing on the clothing and stitching quality.
- Comes with a bag for storing accessories, enhancing organization.
- Poses well despite some limitations in articulation, allowing for iconic poses.
- The stand included is praised for its quality and effectiveness.
Cons!
- QC issues with paint applications, particularly mismatched skin tones and darker washes that don’t blend well.
- Shirt stitching appears off, leading to an uneven look.
- Hat can leave black marks on the figure’s head, requiring cleaning.
- Limited articulation in legs makes it difficult to achieve higher kicking poses without adjusting clothing.
- One of the hands does not have a matching grip for holding accessories effectively.
Product Info
From the boxProduct Description
“Well blow me down!” Mezco welcomes the ocean’s most renowned spinach-loving sailor, Popeye, into the One:12 Collective.
The One:12 Collective Popeye figure includes two masterfully crafted head portraits: a stern stare and a salty glare. Authentically presented in his classic sailor clothing and a removable pea coat, Popeye comes complete with a wide range of accessories including: a functional drawstring duffle bag, a collapsible spy glass, a compass with hinged lid, two spinach cans, three different hats, and two styles of corncob pipes.
He’s one tough Gazookus, which hates all Palookas! Created by E.C. Segar and first introduced in 1929, Popeye the Sailorman has become one of the most beloved and recognizable cartoon characters of all time.
