Exclusive edition is now sold out
For those who are curious, Johnny Nostalgia did a comparison video on the Rogue replacement portraits. I think they're pretty much as expected, the eyes were a little too far apart and now they're not. He also ended up with a new winking face and body, which I didn't realize were in scope (he said he just sent pics of everything and Mondo determined what warranted a replacement).
Got my Rogue replacement body...less heads and hands.
Joints are much tighter and she feels like a solid figure now. Head still wobbles a bit, but the hair resting on the jacket collar holds it in place.
Very pleased with Mondo for correcting the issue!
My replacement heads arrived tonight. They look improved, especially the lips which were very sloppy on my originals. Looking back, I probably should've put in a request for a body. Hips arrived looser than any of my other Mondo figures. I definitely can't trust her to stand freely too long without support.
Mondo have posted a hint that Venom will be going up for pre-order soon
I opened my two replacement Rogue heads - winking and angry. The angry face sculpt is smooshed - has the sculpt for this face always been weird?
I'm a little bummed I didn't also request a replacement for my regular Rogue head - that messy lipstick is a bummer, but I think this version is going to stay winking and the Uncanny variant will be neutral.
Venom goes up tomorrow at 12 CT. Here's the spread:
Limited Edition will set you back $255 this time. Regular is $245. More news can be found here:

It looks like I will be picking this one up.
I wonder how that exclusive webbing fits around Spider-Man's waist? Hopefully there is a tab that you can undo and fit it around him like a belt.
Now up for pre-order
Venom looks really cool, but why did they have to release him 1 week before B:TAS Scarecrow!
I somewhat reluctantly ordered Venom. He looks great, but the price creep on this stuff is awful. Sabretooth was $225 so why so much more for Venom? I'm hoping I'll be less fixated on the cost when it arrives so I can enjoy it more. Definitely not in for more from Spider-Man. It's too costly in terms of space and money so I'll keep focusing on X-Men (and I am enjoying this nice breather on that line). And I bet the first Real Ghostbusters set is coming on Halloween so there's that expense to look forward to.
Sabretooth was $240 and came with 13 accessories/hands/heads.
Venom is $255 and comes with 21 accessories/hands/heads.
Therefore the prices are fairly reasonable at the moment, I wonder if you will take that comment back?

At NYCC, the Mondo Batman: TAS Scarecrow had a release date of specifically 10/31/2024. They typically haven't done two separate 1/6 figures at once.
And I kind of hope they don't! I got Venom today and will definitely get those ones. Hoping for a 3 or 4 months break at some point with Mondo. I had a break from October '23 to February '24. Hoping for something similar this year!
@toonturts no, I won't. Sabretooth is right here on their website for $225: https://mondoshop.com/collections/all/products/x-men-the-animated-series-sabretooth-1-6-scale-figure
@gpmartin414 Real Ghostbusters aren't 1/6 so I think they're in play for Halloween. Plus, the first set includes Samhain so 10/31 or 11/1 would make sense. Either way, we know from Mondo it's coming soon.

That is their regular edition Sabretooth whereas you quoted the special edition Venom price. That isn't a fair comparison, instead the two special editions should be compared with each other, and the special edition Sabretooth went up for $240. Now will you concede that the pricing for Venom is fair if the pricing for Sabretooth is fair?
Holding out for the Wolverine 97 rerelease. I figured with Spidey fans these things would be selling out quick. I snagged Rogue and minutes later she was gone because of that exclusive base and multiple head sculpts. Cyclops, who comes with less sold out similarly quick though not as fast. I think for Storm and Wolverine I'm gonna have to be quick, but the rest of the team will probably take a while, if it's just Beast / Xavier / Jean. Not sure if they'd do a Cable or which version but that might be cool.
