If they make an Olive Oil i hope they fashion her after Ursula from Spiderman 2. Also maybe they can work on those forearms. It looks great but i feel there's ways to get more range. Especially with the soft good to cover up joints. Loved the jokes
Bruh this title is the truth! My first Mezcos were the Popeye Bluto two pack years ago. Been a fan and blowing money on good soft good figures and reimaginings since 🤣
Thanks for introducing me to this one!! Gotta get Bluto too! Sorry to say cuz I know you got a thing with toystalker but Amazon has it for 82$ free shipping
Had mine a few yrs now! Was my FIRST Mezco figure, and I remember being totally impressed with the soft goods and the sculpt!! Mezco definitely won me over!! 💪🏽
Gots to Love Popeye. Shell Back Sailor Man here. Bought all the Mezcos Popeye figures. Bought this Popeye again, not knowing it was a Re-Issue Oh Well. Added another POPEYE
I think there was a version that came in a metal can like spinach, and there was one with a yellow vinyl raincoat/suit. Also the telescope does collapse
Mezco always releases Popeyes. This is like the fourth or fifth one. They makes subtle changes to outfit or will had a coat or rain slicker. Maybe more. I got the 2 pack with Bluto
I totally agree with you. Every since I got this figure his been my favorite. I made a whole storyline for him with stop motion lol I actually made him a boat to sail around in too 😂 as I said I really love this figure. Hope your well my friend 🙏 take care
This is a reissue of the first Popeye Mezco released late 2018, as far as I can tell the only difference from the original release is the box, the original release had a significantly bigger box, this release's package has been made more compact, more-in-line with more recent Mezco releases. I also really want that Bluto, but not for aftermarket prices. Also, that set was based around Popeye and Bluto fighting, but what they're usually fighting over is Olive Oyl, but there is no One:12 Olive Oyl for them to fight over. They'd do a great job on a One:12 Olive Oyl, whatever weirdly proportioned body they make for her I'm sure Mezco could also find use for with their original properties. Also FYI, Popeye's spyglass can telescope into itself into a more compact form factor.
You say weird, I say awesome 😎. The only thing current day has over the 80's is action figures. Yes there was action figures in the 80's, however they weren't the versions we wanted. Which is our figures to look, like they did in the cartoons and comic books. The coolest pipe, is with the smoke effect.
Hopefully, they do a second run of him in his sailor uniform. I now have this one to go along with my popeye/bluto two pack. Love your reviews, keep up the good work, from a fan up north by the bay.
Been had Popeye since the first release. One of my favorite Mezcos. Hopefully Mez gets off his ass and releases an Olive Oyl sometime. Bluto's cool, but how you gonna release Popeye without his main squeeze?
10:45 MHR, our boy Popeye looking good with the TMNTs. Time to get the first run of One:12 TMNT set out of storage so we can see Pops next to some more realistic looking TMNTs. And maybe some Casey Jones? Let's gooo!
@@madhatterreviews6705 there is a white uniformed Popeye also. He was an exclusive. The Boss Fight Popeye Classics are great and they have fleshed out the roster pretty good and are still adding. Their Power Stars Popeye figures are good.
Juat so you know that telescope does close up like a real one but it takes just a bit more force for my liking so try it at your own risk but yes it does close up. Just trying to help i dont mean to be "that guy" lol
@I lived over by El Prado condos- they had MKIII in that one! Walking distance. There was another one that had King of Fighters! I remember you mentioning Lionel Playworld- do you remember the giant Video rental place that was nearby that was made of all glass?? Or Incredible Universe?!
@@dubblewokad hahah great question! Apparently it was originally Bluto but when there was a rights transfer there was an issue with the name so they changed it for a new show to Brutus
I grew up with Popeye cartoons, and still have a soft spot for the character. The photos people have taken of this action figure are great. Makes Popeye look like a hardcore grizzled sailor. I am tempted to buy it, but I don't buy action figures with cloth clothes. In my mind that makes them dolls, and I can't get over that.
Holy crap!! Hatter i just got this figure man and im in love with this dude lol i made him a custom boat for him to sail. Ive been using him in my stop motion videos and he looks so damn good. Bro please take a look at my stop motion Popeye videos man 🙏 i have 2 up now and im editing the third now ( should be done tonight) I really think youll get a kick out of them. 🫂 Much love Hatter
@@madhatterreviews6705brother thank you 🙏 it took me like a week to make. It's roughly 1/12th scale (a little bigger) but I made it out of real wood (popsicle sticks lol) and Popeye looks great sailing it lol I also made a port with a shack for selling goods and a bar for him to drink after a long journey lol. I don't get alot of sleep so I build and do stop motion lol. Thanks again Hatter I really appreciate you checking them out.
Only difference seems to be that this popeye has a darker paint job than the original, so the wrists stand out way more. If they matched the joints and added texture (like their tmnt) it'd be even better than the original.
@@printrabbit8117i hear you but man I love this figure so much He is so much fun to pose with. I do stop motion with him as well and he does great with that too. Just with he had more arm articulation. Take care my dude 👍😎
Wow, Popeye. My grandfather would have loved this figure.
The two pack is even better, with that awesome beat up face. And Bluto is insanely good.
Omg my childhood experience with Popeye arcade cabinet was also at a laundromat as well. They also had a play choice 10.
If they make an Olive Oil i hope they fashion her after Ursula from Spiderman 2.
Also maybe they can work on those forearms. It looks great but i feel there's ways to get more range. Especially with the soft good to cover up joints. Loved the jokes
I'm with you, I like the grittier take they went with. Sharp looking figure.
Holy spinach!! Gateway drug figure, INDEED!!
Looks like a beaut ⚓️
Bluto is a must-have if you like this Popeye. That pack is my favorite thing in my whole collection.
This is a solid figure, definitely worth the money. Actually, is my first Mezco and I think I'm in trouble now.
Gorgeous fig but I'm relieved that it isn't my jam
Bruh this title is the truth! My first Mezcos were the Popeye Bluto two pack years ago. Been a fan and blowing money on good soft good figures and reimaginings since 🤣
Same. That was my first aswell
Same here brother
Thanks for introducing me to this one!! Gotta get Bluto too!
Sorry to say cuz I know you got a thing with toystalker but Amazon has it for 82$ free shipping
What an amazing figure and wonderful tribute to a childhood hero forgotten, thanks for sharing! 💪💪💪💥❤️🔥
Had mine a few yrs now! Was my FIRST Mezco figure, and I remember being totally impressed with the soft goods and the sculpt!! Mezco definitely won me over!! 💪🏽
Great stuff! That figure looks awesome!
Pontificate (intrasative verb) to speak or express opinions in a pompous or dogmatic way.... For anyone else wondering.
What part on Popeye doesn’t rust? The part he dips in Olive Oyl 😅 que Popeye laugh 11:50
Wow that Popeye is so tempting 😳 ❤
How does he look posed next to Metal Slug dude? Maybe the two in the TMNT street diorama? Looking like a street tuff.

They have another mezco popeye that comes in a spinach can. He has an all white suit
Thanks, now I kinda want this figure!
🫤
Nice one, Sir Hatness!
Mezco always releases Popeyes. This is like the fourth or fifth one. They makes subtle changes to outfit or will had a coat or rain slicker. Maybe more. I got the 2 pack with Bluto
I have him , one of the best 👍
Honestly, he's my favorite figure now. He looks great with the first mezco turtles.
I totally agree with you. Every since I got this figure his been my favorite. I made a whole storyline for him with stop motion lol I actually made him a boat to sail around in too 😂 as I said I really love this figure. Hope your well my friend 🙏 take care

I've seen this figure in reviews before. It looks really cool, but with all the figures I have, I have to stick with my Boss Fight Studio Popeyes.
I would want a head sculp to match the Robin Williams version from the 1980 movie
That would be insane to see!

The figure looks amazing!! Maybe one day Mezco takes one of my wait/hold list and let me have one their figures 🤔😂!! Great video!!
The only batman figures I'll buy are from mezco
Surprised you didn't pick him up the first time around.
I got the white version…love it!
Hopefully, they do a second run of him in his sailor uniform.
I now have this one to go along with my popeye/bluto two pack.
Love your reviews, keep up the good work, from a fan up north by the bay.
If every Naval servicemen doesn't own one of these, it would be a shame
Been had Popeye since the first release. One of my favorite Mezcos. Hopefully Mez gets off his ass and releases an Olive Oyl sometime. Bluto's cool, but how you gonna release Popeye without his main squeeze?
Saw this in the summer at the malls FYE. Passed on it. Box was worked 😒

Hahah fine!! ( grumble making me work…)
One of mezco all time best!!!
I have the mezco Popeye and Bluto set, now I want this one too!
hahaha dude I'm the reverse now. Stupid gateway drug toy!
@@chanDman816 isn’t it the same Popeye? I have the white uniformed Popeye.
@@madhatterreviews6705 there is a white uniformed Popeye also. He was an exclusive. The Boss Fight Popeye Classics are great and they have fleshed out the roster pretty good and are still adding. Their Power Stars Popeye figures are good.

Stop being that guy!! Nah jk man, haha thanks I didn’t wanna force it
@@madhatterreviews6705lol no worries brother 🙏
Still love my popeye/Pluto figure set. Oddball buy back then but pretty cool. I'll have to dig mine out
I’ve been waiting for a Bluto rerelease for awhile
They're's gonna be a shitty Popeye horror movie coming out next year too. And yes, Popeye's the killer because he ate contaminated spinach
I’ll sell you my Bluto and Popeye Hatter.
Oooooh what’s it go for?
Studies show that the Hatter Bump TM* is a gateway drug
I’m glad you used that TM buddy!
Tuned in🫡🤙🏽
Telescope dose compress
I’m pretty sure we went to the exact laundromat in Hialeah.
Hahaha dude, plz attest this was a thing! No one will believe it
@I lived over by El Prado condos- they had MKIII in that one! Walking distance. There was another one that had King of Fighters! I remember you mentioning Lionel Playworld- do you remember the giant Video rental place that was nearby that was made of all glass?? Or Incredible Universe?!
Good one✅️
MEZCO GI JOE COMING???
Love Popeyes👍
Is it Bluto or Brutus.. if its Bluto then who the hell is Brutus and why am i so confused
@@dubblewokad hahah great question! Apparently it was originally Bluto but when there was a rights transfer there was an issue with the name so they changed it for a new show to Brutus
Is Popeye greek?
would u blow popeye mad hatter?
