Tagging @Corporal Hicks for news :-)

Oh this is exciting news! I wonder if it is true to form the original Kenner 5 point vintage versions or a newly detailed and articulated version?

There's a lot of homages to old style 5 POA action figures being made these days, so that's what I expect.

[BonesawT101]

Very very cool. I wonder if they will re-do the original kenner alien  from 1979

[Mike’s Monsters]

Prepare for these to be limited numbers and very expensive. That is the Mondo way. I love my Mondo pieces in my collection, which is mainly Godzilla stuff. But they're very hard to get and my wallet didn't enjoy making the purchases. You'll need fast fingers and internet to get them if there's a demand for the pieces. I am looking forward to what they will look like, but already accepted I may not get them if they are spendy and have a demand that I'll need to outclick other folks for.

After MONDO sold to Funko they said one of the things they wanted to address was availability, so you never know. It definitely feels like there's been more timed releases recently.

Maybe we can hope they'll expand to include the Kenner Predator and Alien vs Predator lines.

I love Mondo ! I collect the Masters of the Universe figures from them. They may be expensive but they're beautiful!

Do they do the thr star trek tng figures. Toys r ys use to have a wh display od those al9 g with transgormets, Gi joe and Ninja turtles. Toysrus just got a dvd section and odly sells records now.

Someone at Wondercon has said they've seen mockups for the MANTIS alien, in two different colors.
But I have yet to see any photo evidence.

[Mike’s Monsters]

Found 'em.

Right around the 10 minute mark in this video:

Its interesting how under the radar its been.  A lot of the toy sites reporting on the Mondo booth have missed it.
It looks cool, but I was kind of hoping it wasn't going to be Soft Vinyl.
I was really hoping they were going to do them more like their Ghostbusters line.

Coming in April

[Jurassicvania]

Very cool, only learned about it from James Gromans Instagram. Toy news sites sleeping on the job.

Didn't NECA kind of do that already? Or are they closer to the originals?

NECA did Kenner "inspired" designs as if they were real xenos in a movie, but in the subject of a Kenner xeno like a Snake, or the bull. They were more 'realistic' looking than the stylized Kenner designs. Mondo is going all in on the stylized look for these soft vinyl figures to match more of what Kenner was doing, but in Mondo's own style.
