MONDO - THE THING

[Brokenhandpuppet]

Mine was on Hold yesterday but as of today it says it is moving and close to me.

 

[Evil_Deadite]

Customs is worried about letting The Thing into the country I guess?

Mine was finally released from the bowels of Ohio and just arrived.

Mine was finally released from the bowels of Ohio and just arrived.

Do you know if it was tracked all the way or did it just decide to show up without more scans of movement?

 

[Mr.E]

Mine showed up yesterday. Finally. Well after any eagerness for this one evaporated.

The heads are fine. The accessories are fine. The clothes are bad. The body is bad. The box arrived dinged and damaged. At least the box graphics are nice. Maybe Mondo should specialize in graphics... Oh wait.

Mine is allegedly out for delivery today. Dallas-Ft Worth area

It was on hold yesterday and then I got email and text notice it was out for delivery this morning

 

[Brokenhandpuppet]

I'm assuming tomorrow I'll have mine in hand.

Same for me. ^

I also noticed everything was double taped as well. Maybe from customs checking it..

 

[Entropy]

Also double taped on top. Re-taped? At least the box was undamaged

If DHL customs opened it, the re-taping would be a bold yellow colour, with "Opened by DHL customs for inspection" printed all over the tape.

They have done this multiple times for me, and on 1 occasion, the tape SHOULD have read "Opened by a complete moron at DHL customs who has unwrapped every piece and thrown them back in the box minus bubble-wrap. Enjoy your completely smashed kit buildup which we will never reimburse you for".

Given these shipments are a 1:6 plastic figure, even DHL shouldn't be able to damage these! (I hope for you all).

Surprised they didn't take a dump in the box too

Just received mine as well, and my god you guys were not kidding about that body. Heads need some slight repainting but are otherwise solid. Can't get a good read on the jacket yet until I get it on a better body.

And I can't believe I didn't see any complaints about this, but I'm really not a fan of the glittery silver strips they have in place of zippers. It makes him look like a freakin disco ball, so I'm definitely going to need to find a better flight suit somewhere.

Overall I can still see the potential after some modding, but it's still a pretty big step down after my unboxing of Inart Aragorn yesterday.

Some modding, huh?
Please tell me which part you of the figure you will NOT have to mod to make this figure look halfway decent

 

[jaztermareal]

I was thinking of just painting the zipper strips plain silver. Saves swapping the flightsuit
