Mondo: Spider-Man The Animated Series: Spider-Man

I’m on the fence with preordering Spider-Man and Venom. If I get it then I have to keep it, can’t sell it. The standard versions are still available as preorder. It makes me wonder if they’re still working on improving the joints and paint on them.

If you’re looking for highly articulable and poseable figures, avoid Mondo figures. They may improve over time but I don’t think they’ll ever reach 1/12 level.

I buy Mondo more for the nostalgia and shelf presence, they really pop in my display with their paint jobs, compared to most of my other “realistic” figures.

With the X-Men and Batman lines, I don’t mind the limited poseability as much but with the Spider-Man line, I do wish they had more articulation because those characters are known for their crazy flexibility and poses.

Thanks for response. I’m a 1/12 collector and only thinking about getting this for shelf presence and nostalgia. I don’t really expect it to do crazy poses, but still want it to be able to pull off some nice action poses, tho. My main concern is the weight of it and the weak ankles.

Probably should wait until reviewers get the standard versions in hand before I decide. I still believe the standard versions might have improved QC.

Really like the sculpt and aesthetic of these two.
