MONDO - THE THING

[Rzeznikk]

Looks like Mondo is going to give their shot at a 1:6 MacReady!

I'm kind of shocked at this, but am really interested. The fact that they're showing Thing accessories is great. I can't imagine they'll have multiple releases. I'd rather a soft goods take, I guess we'll see what Mondo gives us.

Really hope it's good. Didn't expect them to get the license, was hoping Asmus take a crack at it but I'll hold my thoughts until I see a full proto hopefully it has material clothing and not just all soft plastic.

Good news but Mondo suck for regular updates and this will still be in development this time next year.

They're a little too laid back.

Interesting. I’ll be keeping an eye on this. Hope it’s not a completely plastic figure.

It's Mondo so get ready for a 2x scaled Hasbro/McFarlane figure for 10x the price.

Not holding my breath on this one.

Interesting news but if this is all plastic I'll just stick with Neca, was really hoping Iconiq could snag this license.

They mentioned fabric clothing in the Toy Talk video.

Apparently all those things come with Mac as well....

Too bad it’s Mondo. Their sixth scale stuff hasn’t impressed me much so far.

 

[burtial]

I'm likely in.

 

[Rzeznikk]

I'll probably buy this just for all the extras/accessories/creatures they include.

Exactly.

Hopefully they are useable quality stuff.

I just saw some of their earlier 1/6 scale figures, and honestly they did not impress me. I have no idea what justify such prices (i.e. ~200 USD).

Inflation. Shipping costs. Likeness rights. Licensing. Tooling. Production. Food on the table…

 

[youbastards]

Not to mention they are a small (in comparison) American company getting product manufactured in China at numbers much lower than Sideshow or Hot Toys.

They mention in the video MacReady's clothing will be cloth. I'm stoked on this.

I remember PCS getting the license alongside An American Werewolf In London, but then dropping the project after previewing it for a couple years. Bummed me out.

Word was that PCS never even had the license

How you gonna show a prototype to a license you don't have? No wonder Sideshow absorbed them. The Alice Cooper, Sons of Anarchy, Street Fighter, and American Werewolf 1/6 lines never came to fruition either I believe.
