Marvel 1/6 Scale (Mondo, Hot Toys, etc.)

Didn’t see this one coming, but makes sense as a NYCC executive. Cool paint job, but I’m all set.

This looks awesome! Very unexpected. Wish he would be available to pick-up at the show itself. This is a definite buy for me. This is my favorite look for DD.

Yeah, Mondo’s approach to show exclusives is pretty odd with them typically being preorders. Cool that it’s available to everyone, but it just feels like a regular release.

Did the whole tariff BS knock them super behind schedule? So what would have been an in-person thing is now months behind? It is very odd.

I'm selling most of my Mondo figs off. I'm keeping the X-Women and limiting myself to just them. And even then - unless the Limited/Timed version has too many exclusive pieces to pass up, I'm okay waiting.

I am still tempted to get Sinister, pop him apart at the chest or waist, and put him on my DST Animated Busts shelf. He's the only character I really feel is missing from that line-up - wish they'd done him instead of Psylocke. But I'd have to snip his cape to make that fit and there's no way. But I have been thinking about it.

They may actually have his for display at NYCC, though. Last year they had Scarecrow from B:TAS. He wasn't technically a NYCC exclusive, but went up for a sale a week or two later as part of a general Halloween theme. He didn't actually ship until like the next spring, though.

No, they pretty much always handle their exclusives like this. Logan, Omega Red, Savage Land Rogue - all preorders that just went up to coincide with an event. I think the only one that was actually available at one of these things was the comic repaint for Magneto.
