The Thing’s MacReady gets a 1/6 scale Timed Edition figure from Mondo

Posted on by

Mondo is dropping their long-awaited MacReady 1/6 scale figure, inspired by 1982’s The Thing from Universal Pictures, complete with cloth and faux leather fabric elements plus a slew of swappable hands, heads and weapons. He’ll be available as both a Regular Edition and a deluxe Timed Edition, which also includes the exclusive dog and spider-head creatures. 

This figure feels like it’s been to Antarctica and back, and we appreciate your patience and excitement while we got everything perfect. It took quite a crew to realize Joe Allard’s design, including incredibly detailed sculpts by Pichet Pitsuwan and Matt Black, spot-on paints by Viola Wittrocka, Hector Arce and Ed Bradley, and cut and sew wizardry from Tim Hanson. And of course we needed Raúl Barrero’s photography skills to bring U.S. Outpost #31 to life. (The only problem now is that we still don’t know which one of them is THE THING!) 

The pre-order for the MacReady Timed Edition is available now through Friday, 11/10 at 11:59 PM CT … only at MondoShop.com. 

Estimated to Ship July 2024. Ships Worldwide. Free Shipping to the United States, Canada, UK and the EU. Limit Three Per Customer. Payment Plans are Available. Regular Edition $235.

Mondo reveals an X-Men: The Animated Series Gambit figure!

Posted on by

Mondo kicked off its X-Men: The Animated Series 1/6 scale line in 2021 with Wolverine, before adding Magneto last year and Jubilee in January. This week, Mondo has announced that its fourth mutant figure is none other than the Ragin’ Cajun himself Gambit!.  

The cagey Thieves’ Guild loner who’s explosive as he is mysterious, Remy LeBeau’s Gambit has never been cooler than in Marvel’s XTAS. This new figure pays tribute to his kinetic prowess, with four portraits plus all his favorite weapons. And we couldn’t resist nods to some of our favorite episodes, including the inhibitor collars from “Slave Island” and a Mystique portrait inspired by “Days of Future Past.” 

Gambit is available now as a one-week Timed Edition only on mondoshop.com. Get yours before times runs out on Tuesday (4/25) at 11:59 AM CT.

Mondo Gets Massive With New Line Of Marvel Mecha Toy Collectibles

Posted on by
Spider-Man Mecha

After three years of development, Mondo has unveiled the first figure in their Marvel Mecha line: Spider-Man Mecha, inspired by their love for Manga and Japanese Mecha designs from the 80s and 90s. Once the team received the blessing from Marvel they decided to move forward and design a line of large-scale figures based on that idea, along with an original Manga storyline that comes packaged with these unique must-own toy collectibles. The Spider-Man Mecha replica is available for pre-order now as a regular version and a Symbiote limited-edition at MondoShop.com.

Mondo’s Tim Wiesh developed the story behind the Marvel Mecha, and wrote original Mangas that accompany each figure in the new toy line.

Late in the early 23rd Century mankind took its first real steps onto the galactic stage. A new Plasma Engine technology had made the exploration of the furthermost limits of the Milky Way achievable within an incredibly short amount of time. And explore they did. Within the span of just two generations humankind would call hundreds of planets home. To protect all of these new expeditions, the Governments of Earth created an elite space fighting force known as MECHA where only the best of the best are given the opportunity to pilot the most incredible force in the galaxy. But in those outer reaches of space, an unknown terror was emerging. Merchant vessels and military ships alike were found abandoned or, even worse, with no survivors throughout the galaxy in a rapidly accelerating pattern. Across all known space the Mecha are on high alert but without concrete evidence of what they should be looking for very little has been done to protect the space travelers. That is about to change…

Spider-Man is the first Marvel character to get the Mondo Mecha treatment, with Black Panther and Captain America next in line ready to throw down with city-stomping kaiju.

Peter Parker jumps into the 100-foot Spider-Man Mecha to battle giant sized intergalactic threats! Join in the battle by collecting your very own figure replica of Peter’s famed Mecha. With over 30 points of articulation, many accessories including a web shield, web attacks and two swords. This 10-inch replica is the perfect way to show your support to the cause and take the fight to those giant sized threats! All in the comfort of your living room.

Two Mecha suits available to collect:
Spider-Man Mecha ($160)
Spider-Man Mecha Symbiote — Limited Edition ($170)

Design: Remy Paul
Sculptor: Jay Kushwara
Paint design and paint prototyping: Hector Arce and Mark Bristow
Art Direction: Hector Arce and Mike Bonanno
