TFP Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Man, $105! I don't even want to see how much the Hitchcock figure will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalnutSoap Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It's 9". That's quite a lot of vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 $100 is pretty close to what I'd expect for what it is. I'd guess that the Hitchcock figure will be priced similarly to the Hot Toys 1/6th scale range, so $200 - $250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm really really starting to regret giving mondo $25. tetsuodaironman and The Vool 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsuodaironman Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm really really starting to regret giving mondo $25. You mean almost $35 after shipping and handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBarry Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Exactly, if it wasn't for the fact it's Shaun of the Dead I would go back to ignoring this thread and Mondo all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpa21 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Almost the same thing for $8. http://www.amazon.ca/Funko-Television-Michelangelo-Vinyl-Figure/dp/B00BUXPZWE/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=AUJBRIGYRJ3Q8 lemongoat, Royce and davepriz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subplotofcrows Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The designer toy game is no joke. One of my old coworkers bought a huge limited piece for about a thousand dollars. Then you have the urban designers like the Sucklord who sell repurposed action figures for nearly 100 times their worth and they get snatched up quickly. I guess Mondo wants to be a part of that crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I could care less about Mikey but I'm all of sudden very nervous about the Iron Giant figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroFourNine Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I am going to predict the Iron Giant figure is more than $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I am going to predict the Iron Giant figure is more than $300. $300 because it will be worth $300 or $300 because it's Mondo? The Vool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroFourNine Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 $300+ because that's where the market is going with stuff like this. Mondo or some other company, doesn't matter. Add in the accessories, articulation/size and licensing, the Iron Giant figure is going to cost. As was previously mentioned, boutique toys like Hot Toys are selling upwards of $200 each, and those aren't 16 inches tall. Plus the fan base of Iron Giant is rabid for merchandise, so cha-ching $$ eyes. You also have head of Mondo interviewed saying that the old Iron Giant super-figure goes for $700 on eBay. Expect them to spin their own figure: "look, our figure is almost as tall as the old one, way more detailed and much more limited... and it's only half the cost of the old figure." Am I nervous? No, at $300 I might be in the market for one. If it breaches $400, I'm out. This is all my opinion of course, and I am nobody of note. Heck, I hope I am way off, they are under $200 and I can get two. One MIP and one to play with. But did anyone expect Mikey the ninja turtle to cost $105? I didn't see that one coming, but I avoid vinyl toy collecting. natenomm and jaxvinyl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see that one coming, but I avoid vinyl toy collecting. It really depend's on where they believe their competition lies. Enterbay 1/4 scale figures (which are rougly 18") retail for over $400. However the detail on them far surpasses anything we've seen from Mondo's Iron Giant. Sideshow's premium format statues are $350-$400, but again, the attention to detail on those is insane. Then again, NECA's 1/4 scale line runs $70-$100 and if you'd show me their Iron Man mkVII next to Mondo's Iron Giant and asked me which one retails for more, I'd have a hard time choosing. But I'd expect the Iron Giant to be much closer to the $350-$400 mark just going by Mondo's history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing more would be tempted as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinch Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I honestly don't care about any of these. Already have really good looking steels for Dark Knight, Alien, Django and Oblivion, never really liked the other two. I might grab a third copy of Django if they choose some good art, other than that I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
