Fresh of the pages of Ghost Machine’s book of the same name, Mezco Toys has revealed the robot soldier that is Junkyard Joe.
Not just another Joe
If you’re a comics fan, then you probably know all about Ghost Machine. A brand new label published under the Image Comics banner, Ghost Machine has brought together an assemblage of industry talent that fans haven’t really seen since the earliest days of the Image itself.
And with a mighty stable of writers and artists behind it, the brand has birthed a quartet of original comic book universes. Those run the gamut from sci-fi, to super-heroic action, to horror, and contains a growing collection of individual titles under each. If you are a fan, then you’re going to want to see what Ghost Machine has cooked up in conjunction with Mezco Toys.
We’ve covered Mezco quite a bit over the years here at BG, and the higher-end toy-maker will indeed be producing at least one action figure from the imprint. That would be Junkyard Joe, a mechanical trooper, from the comic of the same name.
Not an SDCC exclusive or anything, so don’t worry, Joe is set for pre-order next month and will be offered only via Mezco. One note that’s not included in the press release below too, is that the art on the box will be from the legendary Gary Frank, who’s also involved with the Junkyard Joe monthly.
