Having just returned from vacation, my wallet is not excited at all about Scare Glow and his steed coming out any time soon (I kinda wish this was a later in the fall/Halloween season release).
I almost forgot about Teela! I managed to win her during one of Mondo's Toy Talk giveaways and it's since slipped my mind. I found that email in my inbox about her shipping soon as well.
you are such a lucky dog bruh! I had to pay for mine!
got my Teela and they did a pass poor job. Its got sloppy painted head sculpts and her knees dont match. shes hot but not as hot as advertised. it makes me want to stop with Mondo and stick to 7 inchers
That sucks, still no tracking on mine yet. Hope you can get your issues fixed.

wow, congrats on winning Teela.
Im skipping Scareglow and horse, dont need a third scareglow. Unless final pics of him blow me away.
so when Teela comes, Im caught up with everything except those rainbow warrior figures and the Rev Skeletor. My green Trap is sitting in my loot at bbts, so when my days are up he and teela should be here around same time.
The only redo/update i really want is a Faker with new sculpt and see through orange battle armor. Only repaint of Teela I’d probably get would be Green Goddess. Now Evil Lyn i want filmation, vintage toy, and 200x, if they do the colors right on them.
Yeah, I really lucked out with that Teela win (I'm hearing not so great things about the quality on this one, so in a way if I had to get a freebee, this might've been the perfect one!). I just got my green Trap-Jaw from BBTS the other week and I have zero issues with that one. He looks so damn cool and (mine at least) stands fine without the use of the included stand. I liked most of Florian's redesign on the OG release, but also felt it was bit too noisy and Trap-Jaw's just never been a favorite. BUT, something about the mini-comic colors and the sort of stripped down look (loincloth, furry boots, etc) gives him the vibe of the original 8-back characters and I guess I just like that vibe for him better.
As for their future releases, I really really want Evil-Lyn, would jump on a Zodac and Tri-Klops, but beyond that, I don't think I'd really be interested in their takes on Buzz-Off, Moss Man, Webstor, etc. I have no doutbt they'd look cool, but with a line like this I'm really only looking to get "so many" and not absolutely every single thing they put out.

Damn that’s unfortunate to hear. Still waiting on the tracking for mine. I saw someone on Reddit posted about theirs a week ago and she seemed to be perfect. Heads were painted really well. Hoping we don’t have another He-Man situation here and Mondo can make it right for you.

Im talkin to mondo support. A refund or partial credit aint going to cut it

Usually they do have reserve stock for situations like this. I can imagine for the heads they could just mail you new heads (like She-Ra), but I don't know how they'd fix the knee issue without giving you a whole new figure. What are the common complaints so far (I really only look for MOTU news here)? Do your knee issues seem like a one-off and its mostly just sloppy paint problems?
The complaints ive seen was, paint, joints are a totally different shade so it sticks out. The stand, which i dont have her yet, but can agree that the stand used for she ra was crap.
still no shipping on mine.

Everything will be on sale for 3 weeks as a timed edition. Giving everyone plenty of time to decide what they're going to be purchasing. On a personal note, I love the new Scare Glow. I think he looks fantastic. The accessories are really cool and varied and his newly designed armour and cloak look so rad. I'm not 100% sold on the new held sculpt yet, I think it looks a bit strange when looking at it head on (pun intended), but its a massive step up from the other head sculpts that Mondo has done for him. Comparing the original release Scare Glow to the Deluxe edition is a night and day difference. It might be because he has a hinged jaw that looks really "wide" when closed. Much different from the hinged jaw that Skeletor has.
I'm not sure if I'm going to pull the trigger on Scare-Mare. A part of me wants to wait and see what sort of shape my Teela is going to arrive in, but at the same time I do want the mini-comic and the poster by Florian. Space is also becoming a bit of an issue with this line, especially when looking at big ticket items like mounts and vehicles. Excited to see all the new MOTU reveals they'll have this weekend.
I need to hang out with the treatment of the figure for a minute. I see what they were going for. Just note sure how I feel about it. They went all out on the soft goods. Which is fantastic. The main skull head looks a little strange to me. Maybe it's the really heavy weathering. It just looks kind of dirty. Also his expression around the eyes (with mouth open) looks more "surprised" than terrifying. I'm going to SDCC so I'll roll by and check it out in person.
Not really in the market for items at this price point, but have to say he really looks very impressive. I’m glad the Mondo line exists to do things that the retail lines cannot do.
Love the bone whip ha! The chains are a nice addition, too. And those sculpted bones!
The skull may look a bit busy , with all the weathering, taking away from the excellent sculpt. Meanwhile the “vintage” head looks kinda comical, like so often with these releases. But I’m sure it looks still fantastic in person.
And that Scare Mare is absolutely crazy! Wow. I’d love one of those mini comics for sure. All this makes me want to get that SG / SM Funko Pop as little consolation price haha That one is more in my price range.
Congrats to all who will get this! It’s a spectacular release.
@cosmic When they released Beast Man he included a "Throwback Head". It was vintage inspired but, actually blended well with sculpt. It wasn't just an upsized reproduction. It looked great. I really wish they would have done that here.
I pre-ordered the upcoming Funko Pop. That's more in my price range. 😁
@firmpulse Yes it always takes some adapting / adjusting to make it look good. Like, reflecting the proportions of the body,… and the design style.
I can see a head design somewhere between the vintage and the new, would have been my perfect SG.
Big nope for me. Have the other 2. Dont like the horse, and Scare comes with to much nonsense that have to pay for and not use. I would only have him in fuzzy undies, cape and staff.
Bring on the stuff thats really needed, not V3 of a minor character
It's so strange when companies make decisions like this. They sculpt ever square centimeter of the massive 52" wingspan...then use a plain flat nail looking thing to attach the wing.

Might've been too complicated to hide it? I have a friend who specifically hates action figures because he can't stand all the joints so he only goes for statues instead. That being said if you're displaying this thing, I highly doubt anyone looking at it would be paying much attention to it.
On a side note I'm starting to come around on the new Scare Glow head sculpt. I know you were also going a bit back and forth on it. I might end up offloading my Classic version from Mondo. He already doesn't fit with the rest of the figures anyways.
@smokinya I saw him at SDCC and while he's really impressive I'm going to pass. I just can't get excited about it. I think if the whitish areas were more translucent whitish-green I'd be down. I've definitely fallen on the side where the head is a miss for me. Also, I def want 1/6 Lion-O after seeing him in person. He drops in August. They felt pretty strongly that he would. Then there's the Rattler...sigh. It's hard out here for a figure collector.

That's fair enough. I've definitely gotten more excited about him the longer I've sat on it. I love the cloak/robes he's got. The 1/6 Lion-O is an incredible figure as well. My wallet is very happy that I don't have much of a connection to Thunder Cats, however, once Raul starts snapping pics of the figure, I'm sure that I might be tempted anyways. Hopefully its also a timed edition and not a certain number of units like their X-Men stuff.
Once I decided I was in on Mondo I pretty much stopped any other form of collecting and have been taking a serious look at what I can get rid of in the house. MOTU is definitely my biggest passion so I figured it would be best to funnel the budget solely into the high quality MOTU product haha
