SDCC 2026: Mondo reveals its Exclusives including X-Men: The Animated Series Deadpool, Masters of the Universe, and more!

Mondo is heading to San Diego Comic-Con and bringing exclusives from Marvel and Masters of the Universe. You can find them at booth #5137.

Check out what you can find at their booth!

X-Men: The Animated Series – Deadpool 1/6 Scale Figure – Limited Edition – $250

Okay, first of all, FIFTEEN other X-Men got figures before DEADPOOL??? And Wolverine got like five?! Cool. Not like he’s one of the most popular Marvel characters right now…

Anyway, apparently this Deadpool 1/6 Scale Figure is “paying homage to the 2021 San Diego Comic-Con Wolverine Variant,” which is marketing speak for “Remember that funny meme we turned into a viral figure release? We are doing that again so hand over your wallets.”

As you can clearly see, Deadpool is curled up in bed processing a totally normal amount of feelings. But there’s more here than emotional devastation; this figure comes with five swappable portraits, multiple pairs of hands, three blasters, swords, a swappable picture frame featuring Wolverine OR Cable (team neutrality!), a Wolverine POP! Bitty Pop, and of course … a Unicorn Doll.

Honestly? This might be the most emotionally available figure Mondo has ever made.

See? We can do responsible promotional messaging.

Amazing Spider-Man #375 Poster – $95

6-color Metallic screenprint on Rainbow Holographic Foil paper.

Mondo presents a limited edition, screenprinted reproduction of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #375 (March 1993) with artwork by Mark Bagley.

Mondo’s HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 1/12 Scale Line brings the highly detailed design of our 1/6 scale figures to a brand new dimension.

SDCC 2026: ThunderCats Pounce into a new era with Greg Pak and David Cousens

Thunder, thunder, thunder, ThunderCats, hooooo! Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced a brand-new era for ThunderCats comics with critically acclaimed hitmaker Greg Pak at the helm. Providing fans with a perfect jumping-on point and thrilling new tales, it all starts this October!

The ThunderCats, once the proud sovereigns of Thundera, face a strange new life in exile on Third Earth, no longer ruling, but sharing the planet with the SilverHawks, the cat-hating Mu’Tants, and a multitude of unexplored societies. Lion-O, Lord of ThunderCats, still a youth in a man’s body, grows restless, hungry for bold action and heroism. But this is the time for subtle outreach and diplomacy to usher in an era of peace among equal peoples. Through the wise counsel of Tygra and the watchful friendship of Calica — who first appeared in ThunderCats (2024) #2, Lion-O swallows his pride and prepares to meet the moment.

But everything changes when a mysterious meteor streaks across the sky, casting strange light over an assembly of Third Earth’s tribes. Who is the Feral King? What is his mission? And whom will he champion — or destroy? The future of the ThunderCats, Mumm-Ra’s legions, and all the peoples of Third Earth hangs in the balance!

Thus starts the new run by rising star artist David Cousens and superstar writer Greg Pak, renowned for his work on top franchises delivering epic, character-defining stories like Batman/Superman, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, X-Men, Darth Vader, and more. With a new roster of ‘Cats and ‘Hawks, unique new costumes and designs, and an unforgettable opening chapter, this is the ideal opportunity to jump on board the world of ThunderCats!

Known for his electrifying covers for the franchise and interior artwork on the Cheetara: Worldbreaker special, David Cousens joins to bring Pak’s scintillating scripts to the page. The team is rounded out by colorist Igor Monti, letterer Jeff Eckleberry, and the continuing guidance of editor Nate Cosby.

ThunderCats #1 features gorgeous covers by Cousens, Mark Spears, Daniele Cellini, Stephen Byrne, and Seth Damoose. Collectors can also chase rare variants with the mystery blind bag offerings. Which may include a HUGE surprise and big first from Dynamite, which will blow ThunderCats diehards away! More details will be shared at release, to not spoil it for fans.

This new series joins the previously announced companion comic, ThunderCats: Cheetara, the historic first ongoing solo series for the character by writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Andrea Arcari. The pair of new titles follow the conclusion of the blockbuster ThunderCats X SilverHawks crossover event that closed the book on the initial Dynamite era of “ThunderVerse” stories driven by Declan Shalvey, Ed Brisson, Drew Moss, and many more.

To capture these two iconic vampires together in all their glory, a sensational roster of cover artists has been assembled including Lucio Parrillo, Francesco Mattina, Björn Barends, Joseph Michael Linsner, as well as Drax. Collectors can opt for the limited edition mystery blind bag for fun surprises and the rarest variant covers possible!
