I don't do 1/6 stuff, but Mondo tempts me with every new reveal. Rogue is one of my favorite Marvel characters and that X-Men Evolution head is a genius addition.
@enigmaticclarity That's a glove that she can hold to expose her bare hand.
@jtmarsh yeah, Sabretooth should be taller to be true sixth scale, though they also have him in a deep crouch. He's the same size as Omega Red. I think it's just a case of Mondo having an upper limit on how big they want the figures to be, though I do maintain that Wolverine is much too tall.
@johnny99 probably pre-order, or they may not go up until they have them in-stock. Mondo does offer free shipping if you're in the US or Canada if you buy direct from them. If you just want to space out toy purchases, I doubt Gambit sells out quickly so you can probably hold off if that's the case.
@enigmaticclarity from the listing, it's an Energy Absorption Left Hand. Her hands usually glowed when she used her powers on the show.
$#!+++++ - I miscalculated the timezone and went to get ready for work and now the exclusive Rogue is already sold out!!!!
F_____. I wanted the stand and the winking face!!!
I only really wanted it to get the limited edition for the Sentinel base to use with 6 inch figures, but I could probably make my own easy enough if I was really fussed. I may try to pick up the regular edition Rogue at some point just to try out a Mondo figure but to me they look somewhat off from the animation style of the show and they don't seem to move that spectacularly.
That and I assumed these were like, 120 a pop? My jaw dropped when I saw it was almost double that.
I was refreshing "Rogue" in the search box and coming up with three non action figures until both versions popped up with the exclusive sold out. I don't even care about the extra parts, but it's really annoying knowing they cost only $25 more. I'm kind of soured here and almost don't want to buy the regular version out of pure spite. I'm salty AF 🤣
Wow on Rogue already selling out! Only have 1,000 of the limited edition seemed low for her particularly. I would imagine she's the most popular of all the characters besides Wolverine.
I figured this would be popular and managed to get my order in right away. The accompanying poster for X-Men #24 did sell out before I could check out with it, though.
The winking Rogue face got me to pull the trigger. She is a work of art. Figured it would be a mistake to pass up on Gambit too. ahhhh
Damn Rogue sold out in the blink of an eye! I wasn't going to get her (I cant start down a rabbit hole of X-Men TAS Mondo figs!) but decided to see how long she hung around, couldnt belive how quickly she went though!
FYI Gambit is showing as "Almost Gone" as well
Wow, that's pretty crazy. I thought the sale was at noon ET so I actually went on a few minutes before 1 to purchase Rogue and saw nothing was there. And then I saw it was noon CT so I waited the minute or two to buy her and did so without incident. Never would I have expected her to sell out that fast. I've never looked into the other figures to see if the limited versions hold their value or not. I was under the impression they really only depreciate for now and they'll perhaps go up in value years from now. Maybe X-Men 97 has fans in a bit of a frenzy or something.
I was able to snag the LE Rogue. Figured she'd sell out, so I was logged in and ready to go lol. They should probably drop the limit to 2 per customer.
I caved and bought the 2nd place edition of Rogue. That $25 difference really ticks me off even though I don't care about the parts. I've assembled 1/6 figures by buying loose parts to avoid taking in packaging and accessories I don't"r want, but that can be a $50 to $75 savings depending on the head sculpt (that's where the money is at). I find that cost difference more acceptable.
I was looking at the mondo brown shippers I have. Harley"s timed edition had #_ of 1900. Seems like they could've sold a minimum of 1, 000 more Rogues
I'm holding out for a restock. Surely not all 1000 preorders authorized! And since I can't cancel a pre-order with them, I'm not buying the regular Rogue until I'm sure the better one is gone.
But yet - only $25 difference with a BASE included? I'm still super pissed I missed this.

I can't remember a time Mondo re-released a limited edition figure. They've reissued standard versions. I was lucky enough to order a LE Rogue, but I wouldn't be upset if they opened it up for another 1k orders. $25 for 3 extra heads and a base is a big ouch. Hopefully, they do something, but I doubt it.
