Mezco Toyz dropped a major surprise for attendees at San Diego Comic-Con. It is an unannounced in-person show exclusive. The toy manufacturer revealed that the Mezco One:12 Collective BTAS Blue and Gray Batman is making its official debut on the show floor.
The drop arrived via Mezco’s official channels with a short and direct announcement:
“SURPRISE! Making his debut this week at #SDCC—the One:12 Collective #Batman: The Animated Series – Blue & Gray Edition is our in-person exclusive! Available only at booth #3045 while supplies last. Once he’s gone, he’s gone—so don’t miss your chance to add the Caped Crusader to your collection.”
For DC figure collectors and die-hard fans of the iconic 1990s animated show, this release represents one of the most anticipated variants in the entire line.
A Classic Color Scheme for a Classic Era
Batman: The Animated Series (BTAS), developed by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski, remains a benchmark for superhero animation. While the show heavily leaned into dark, noir-inspired aesthetics, Batman’s suit frequently featured dark blue highlights across his cowl, cape, and boots alongside his classic gray bodysuit.
Mezco’s original release of the One:12 Collective BTAS Dark Knight captured the darker animated tone. However, this new Blue & Gray Edition leans directly into the vibrant comic-book contrast that defined many iconic episodes and promotional artwork from the era.
Like other releases in the 1/12 scale flagship line, the figure is crafted on a custom body engineered with over 28 points of articulation. It integrates seamless fabric costuming over sculpted elements, combining high-end tailored clothing with accurate animated proportions.
What to Expect from the Exclusive Drop
While full packaging shots and detailed accessory lists are being revealed live at the convention center, the base tooling shares structure with Mezco’s premium BTAS lineup. Attendees visiting the floor can expect:
- Tailored Fabric Batsuit: Featuring the signature blue-and-gray palette, complete with the chest emblem and a sculpted yellow utility belt.
- Posable Wired Cape: Designed with an internal wire to allow fans to recreate dramatic animated poses and mid-air gliding shots.
- Multiple Head Portraits: Expressive interchangeable head sculpts featuring the distinct angular jawline and sharp cowl eyes signature to the animated style.
- Crime-Fighting Arsenal: Interchangeable hands, Batarangs, grapple launcher, and specialized display hardware.
Booth #3045: How to Get Yours
Mezco Toyz confirmed that this variant is strictly an in-person convention exclusive. Unlike some previous convention releases that had shared online pre-orders, this version is tied directly to inventory at Booth #3045 on the SDCC floor.
With Mezco explicitly stating, “Once he’s gone, he’s gone,” collectors attending San Diego Comic-Con should make Booth #3045 an immediate priority on their show floor map. High-demand One:12 Collective exclusives frequently sell out early during convention weekends, and secondary market demand for BTAS variants is historically high.
If you are on the ground in San Diego, head over to the Mezco booth as early as possible to secure your figure before stock runs out!
