Mezco announces that their HEROES series 1 prototypes, previously on public display at NBC’s headquarters (see our story "HEROES Action Figures Visit NBC Tour In NY"), are going to the dogs... in a good way.
The original plan was to auction the figures for charity in April, but because of the overwhelming popularity of the display, the figures remained at NBC until the end of May 2008. Now, Mezco Toyz has donated the set of 5 figures to Heaven Sent Bulldog Rescue so they can be auctioned to raise funds for abused and/or homeless bulldogs. 100% of the money raised will be donated to the charity and the transaction will be handled by Mission Fish.
When asked what prompted their decision to help bulldogs, Mezco’s Director Of Special Projects replied, “Mezco has a long love affair with bulldogs. A full 37% of Mezco’s New York staff own bulldogs and Mez himself, the President of Mezco, has shared his life with several bulldogs. When Mezco learned about the cruelty many of these poor creatures have suffered, and the wondrous things Heaven Sent Bulldog Rescue has done to help them, it was clear that they deserved to benefit from this auction.”
The auction, found HERE, begins on June 4th, 2008 and runs for 10 days.
