All Mondo X-Men Animated Figure Thread

I want to add another to my collection. Been wanting Jubilee. But do we think they are gonna do a new version now that they are doing X-Men 97 wave of figures?

A new Jubilee seems unlikely as the previous version is still available. If Jubilee had sold out like the other figures, I think it would be much more likely.

If anyone is still after Gambit he's back in stock on Mondo's site

Just a heads up - Gambit is showing as "Almost Gone" on the Mondo site

Ordered Jubilee!

My Gambit and Rogue finally showed up today. Early Christmas for daddy! Awesome figures as always, I just need to track down an Omega Red and a brown costume Wolverine.

Got my first animated X-Men figure today: Classic Cyclops! I really hope they release more of the characters how they appeared in the classic outfits as that’s the team I want to display, especially the outfit Storm rocked for the second part of the new season as opposed to the white shoulder padded fiasco from the 90s and also Jeans green/yellow ensemble!

 

[WolfBoy]

Sorry but if we get Storm i want the 90s all white, shoulder pads and all.

Rogue showed up on Christmas Eve. It was hard to find a pose I liked. She's top heavy with that big hair and her high heel boots that don't provide a solid base. I imagine Storm will have a similar problem, if not worse. Maybe they'll find a way to cast Storm's hair in a hollow vinyl, while keeping detail intact.

I was holding out hope to get a set of clothed Jim Lee-era X-Men, but having built out this set so far, I don't think it's possible to get the right muscle definition in spandex over plastic bodies. And since this show is what got me into the comics in the first place, I think this will be a the right fit for my collection.

I keep thinking of picking up the Gambit figure to pair with Rogue, but since I was only able to get the Uncanny variant of Rogue (after missing out on the limited edition), I want to see how the more "realistic" paint apps look before going deeper into the line, especially since Gambit's animated style wouldn't be a perfect match. Part of me is also hoping Mondo releases an Uncanny variant of Gambit, but that's a long shot to happen.

I ended up getting 2x Gambits and 2x Rogues (standard and Uncanny since I missed out on the initial Limited) to pose with the entire X-Men team and the 2nd pair just alone, possibly to recreate the X-Men #24 cover.

Also, I really wanted that Sentinel base and winking Rogue smiling sculpt.

I noticed the same - Rogue is difficult to pose and the Mondo waist grabber base is garbage.

Also, I can’t figure out why her left leg does not stay permanently attached to the body - it does not appear broken but it won’t snap back into the socket, the leg immediately falls off. Reminds me of the Mondo He-Man loose torso issue.

Luckily, the head sculpts appear to be OK, I don’t think I have the wonky off center eyes of the earlier batch.

Contact mondo support and get a new body. My copy of rogue doesn't have that issue at all.

Do I go direct to Mondo or through the B&M store I purchased from?

I bought Rogue (standard) through Timewalker (who probably got their shipment from their distributor Sideshow).

Unlike NECA and their notoriously bad customer service, Mondo has a good reputation with resolving QC and customer service issues.

Two options, you could put a dab of super glue in the leg socket, and plug it back onto the peg, work it around while the glue dries. Ideally it will add just a bit of friction, enough to hold the leg on the peg.

Or you can contact Timewalker, they should arrange for a replacement. No telling if it's through Sideshow or Mondo, but it doesn't really matter. Someone will get you a replacement.

I believe mondo will help you no matter where you got it from. You can try contacting them directly

I got mine from entertainment earth and still contacted Mondo and they sent me a body replacement. I just provided a screenshot of my order details showing the purchase of Rogue figure.
