The accessories are super sweet! Joker rat from "Dreams in Darkness" we already knew about. The fear chemical hallucination portrait from "Fear of Victory" I did not expect but am very happy to see. I suppose that's the fear chemical vial from the same episode in the last photo. Original mask and fear gas hands from "Nothing to Fear", the scythe from "Trial" and an unmasked Jonathan Crane portrait, all of which look fantastic. Good job, Alex Brewer!
Can't think of any Scarecrow episode that featured a crow, off the top of my head. Might be a reference to the early 90s Kenner figure, which came with a crow that looked almost exactly like this one. If so, that is preeeeeetty cool.

edit:
As per the card, the Limited(!) Edition will be up for preorder on Halloween.
Looks like it’ll actually come with 2 different crows. I assumed the one perched on his left arm to just be a second copy of the one lying at the base of the display, but the one on his arm appears to have a closed beak and slightly more relaxed wings.

Looks very good and love the 1st and 2nd appearance masks to give you both options (I love the BTAS figure by DCD but wish it had included that 1st appearance mask to)

The crow is a great inclusion as a reference to the old toy (one of the few BTAS villain figures I was able to actually as a kid which I always cherished!)

Opened up Mondo Bane today and he's one of the best in the line IMO

Its funny how we have gotten 3 Bane figures in 2024 (Mondo, McFarlane and Mafex)

He looks awesome. The crow was in the Dreams in Darkness episode, I believe.

It's great that after years of mostly getting these modern hulk-like Banes, we're finally getting the early 90s more "realistic" Knightfall physique representations.

I had him too, as a kid. Still do, actually. Just recently I dug up all my Kenner BTAS toys when I visited my family home. I had forgotten that the top of his hat had a translucent plastic screen you could shine a light through to make his eyes glow red. Awesome!

Totally agree. IMO, of the ones in people’s hands, he’s top 4 along with Harley, Man-Bat and Freeze. The second torso he comes with is brilliant, but what I appreciate most is the restrained, more elegant approach to cel shading, especially compared to the earlier releases in the line. The heavy cel shading looks fantastic on Freeze but somewhat heavy-handed on some of the others. Joker being the worst offender in this regard.
Despite only seeing him in a single episode, Bane's design left a big impression on me as a child. Mondo captured him perfectly.
This will never happen, but I love imagining Mondo doing second runs of characters that feature alternate appearances. I want Ivy in her russet trench coat and sunhat, and Bane in his grey suit and fedora

He looks awesome. The crow was in the Dreams in Darkness episode, I believe.

Yeah, that would have been my best guess too, but, rewatching his episodes, they feature all sorts of animals except for crows, surprisingly. I guess one could argue that scarecrows are supposed to repel crows, not attract them lol
Kenner most likely simply included one because the image of crows perched on a scarecrow is so ingrained in pop culture. And now Mondo is referencing the old Kenner toy. I love it when they do stuff like this.

Coincidentally, Toy Anxiety just uploaded a video tour of Mondo’s booth, in which Alex Brewer confirms it’s a recreation of the Kenner crow.




Toyshiz and Toyark have shared some great close-ups of everything:
