All Mondo X-Men Animated Figure Thread

The figures are definitely overpriced but their customer service is exceptional and they're the only ones doing animated accurate figures this quickly. Preorders go up fast and the figures release only a few months later. Will gladly support these as long as they keep making them.

I do like their turnaround time for sure, unlike Hot Toys where every figure release has to come with a five year life plan.

Thanks for the link.

I enjoy them explaining all thought process that goes into it. The ankle joints being made of black plastic, and the same thickness as the stripe on the boot, to ensure a seamless, paint-rub-free point of articulation is very cool.

With the "kinetic claws", when I saw the picture I assumed it was just an accessory that slid over the claws, and I thought, "That's going to be a pain to try and fit, and it will probably fall off anyways." Then they showed that the claws are actually part of the sculpt, and the whole piece just plugs in.

People love to criticize the price, but this figure comes with five alternate heads, a whole different chest piece, a large diorama base. These things all cost money to produce. Just because it doesn't have a realistic paint job and a cloth outfit doesn't mean it cost half as much to produce as any other sixth scale figure. I'd previously thought they were re-using parts on these figures, but they're not. It's a new sculpt on these figures. That represents a significant expenditure in tooling, so the price is reasonable considering everything that comes in the box.

As nice as an updated Wolverine is, I'd like them to make a few more villains. This Diamond Select bust looks great and I would think a Mondo figure would look very similar.

According to the the Toy Talk video, they have "two core team members" and "some villains" planned out for this year, which was teased in response to a question asking for destroyed Sentinel torso and/or leg bases.

So, it sounds like at least four more figures in this line this year. I'd have to believe Storm and Sinister are in the mix, with how prominent a role both had in TAS and 97.

Jean, Beast, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Professor X were all named as wants. Psylocke was mentioned but, in context, it sounded like a figure that wasn't in development now. But, it was reiterated that the whole team will be completed.
