Mondo Toys has a pretty good track record thus far with 12-inch X-Men action figures based on the ’90s animated series. Collector action figures are a big part of Mondo’ output, but that’s not all they do. Soft vinyls, often done in a wild caricature style, make up an equal amount of licensed toys from their wild imaginations.
Kudos to Marvel for letting Mondo run wild on a major mutant in this format. Like the others, Juggernaut is 12 inches tall. On the other hand, he’s 15 inches wide. A collector could display him next to the other figures, but the styles might clash a bit. This figure features a decidedly cartoonish face on a massively blown-out body. As his theme song in Deadpool 2 proclaimed, “Oh holy s***balls!”
Gettin’ Juggy With It
He’s not entirely static. Juggernaut features cut joints at the shoulders, fists, and boots. Pose him for uppercuts or forehand hits, but take it easy — this is a collector figure not designed for rough play.
The Juggernaut Soft Vinyl Figure is now in the open preorder period from today through Friday, Jan 19th at 11:59 a.m. central time. Expect delivery later this year, probably around July. The price is $200, which is less than the more show-accurate X-Men
Now that Mondo has demonstrated they can do this with one of their licenses, what could be next? Stylized vinyls of R.J. MacReady or M3GAN? There is at least one unusual Masters of the Universe creation on the way, might animated Batman be next up? Whatever the case, it’s good to see the licensors allow the company to indulge in the kind of wild collectible art styles they do.
