If you are a Mondo "Masters of the Universe" collector hoping for even more new figure announcements during this year's San Diego International Comic-Con, then you are in luck... and green is the color of the day. Mondo 1:12 200X Figure display revealed during yesterday's SDCC Preview Night That's right, today at San Diego Comic-Con, Mondo teased a couple of more "Masters of the Universe" action figures and this time it was the Evil Warriors Tri-Klops and Mer-Man! (Please note that the following reveals were projected on screen and subsequently resulted in low resolution images). Mondo Masters of the Universe…
We have the Power!
I've never liked this rendering of Mer-Man's face — it looks too happy! I prefer the menacing version from the vintage line. With regard to the superior scaled Triklops, there is also the appearance of heavy inspiration from the 200X cartoon, which results in a dilution of his attractiveness for me. My wallet is safe for now...
Tri-Klops looks pretty majestic, but I’ve developed this pet peeve, when figures have very long legs but the arms feel a bit short. I can’t unsee that with Classics, and now I also see it with some Mondo 1:6.
Looks like the 1:12 line doesn’t have that problem. I like MM’s proportions. I would have loved other head designs included, but I get that this is a 200X line and probably has limits what designs they can use.
Both figures look stunning! Tri-Klops is a great mixture of vintage, 200x and Mondofication! Digging Mer-Man as well. It'll be nice to have a 200x Mer-Man figure whose armour isn't all bronze and monochromatic. I'm also really loving the stands for the 1/12 figure line so far. They all seem well suited to the characters and add a bit of extra spice (hopefully with not much extra on the price). Makes me wish they'd do the same for 1/6.
