Yup! He’s been on every release since Harley!
Aaaaaah. Good move on Mondo then. Hope the guy is getting paid good money. I've always liked the improvements he did and the BTAS inspired customs he created. It really captures the animated look.
It's still not enough for me to jump back on the Mondo train though. I hope the rest of you keep enjoying the line though.

Do you recall what made them want to remake the wolverine? I'm on the fence on getting Catwoman just due to the head sculpts looking off compared to the other BTAS figures. Would love for them to give her a 2.0.

I think, ironically enough, the opposite of the case for TAS Batman. Their O.G. Wolverine release is a lot taller than everyone’s favorite diminutive Canadian should be comparative to his fellow X-Men and the new one seeks to address that while also adding general improvements to the sculpt/design side of things (like giving folks a Logan head more evocative of their SDCC flannel release than the original figure’s). Catwoman’s still a great figure and I still thoroughly enjoy both the O.G. Batman and the redux, even though I feel like there’s room for improvement.
If you want her represented, I’d say to go for it because, like I said, I don’t see an upgrade coming when you can still buy the regular through their shop.

Thanks for the info batfan. I started this line late, so doing some catching up. I guess I will have to settle with the existing Catwoman. Would be a cool thing if Mondo did a resculpt of the head only and sell that. Since the body and everything is spot on.
Bought exclusive for the extra heads to pair with Harley, but never ever taking the plant babies out for any reason ever.

I feel like you could make for a hilarious photo op with Bud and Lou…

Is Poison Ivy’s skin tone supposed to be as tan as the Mondo figure?
The Collecting Weekly podcast mentioned she looked too dark. Might be the lighting in the promo pics but she does look a tad too tan.
Googling the images of Ivy, seems like her skin tone varies from episode to episode.

Maybe this month, hopefully! Ivy was listed for a Summer release, Scarecrow is, rightfully, listed for October release, Clayface, I believe, is Winter, and Beyond was listed as a “Fall 2024” release, so, I feel like he could either be September or November, if the cards on display at SDCC are to be believed.

Ivy will be my introduction to this line. Ordered 2 bc I can never quite decide whether I’m an in-box or out-of-box collector.
It’s pretty cool to see how close this release is to his ZBrush concept from 2022.
While every aspect of the final sculpt is an improvement over the early concept, I so wish we would have gotten that portrait wearing the wide-brimmed hat from Almost Got ‘Im. It’s the only episode she was prominently featured in that isn’t represented by any of the accessories. Although, considering how fantastic of a set of accessories we’re getting (and how many), it’s almost preposterous to even bring this up.
Couldn’t be happier with how she turned out.

I’ve taken some screenshots of her accessories as they appeared in the show. I’ve also tried to look out for frames that may have been used as references for her portraits, but except for the ones inspiring the kissing portrait, these are a little vaguer.

I’m surprised Mondo is doing all the villains but haven’t made Robin yet.

When Brock Otterbacher was still in charge of this line, Robin had been slated in ahead of Joker.

I’ve gone back and forth on the line so many times. Part of me would love to but then I just find the prices hard to justify for what the figures are.
Also hate that any Batman: The Animated Series figures have to have the cel shaded look. I don’t think it translates to figure form well and I wish both Mondo and McFarlane would get away from it.

What should the figures cost? I think ALL 1/6 are over priced. Hot Toys should be less than 240 for example.
Third parties should be 99-150 depending...
Mondo BTAS are fully scuplted, sculpting is more costly than clothing, but I think 220-250 is too high myself, yet, plastic costs more and they include 3-5 heads typically.
