Mondo has expanded its Marvel collection with a significant new release dedicated to the X-Men’s intellectual powerhouse, Beast. This latest drop is headlined by a highly detailed 1/6 scale figure that draws its aesthetic directly from the beloved frames of the 1990s classic, X-Men: The Animated Series.
The blue-furred mutant is the centrepiece of a high-end collection that also includes a limited-edition screen-printed poster and a thematic enamel pin. Known for their meticulous approach to nostalgia, Mondo has designed these items to serve as a tribute to the “noble mutant” era of Hank McCoy. The collection is not merely a set of toys but a curated gallery of items that capture the duality of a character who is as comfortable in a high-tech laboratory as he is on a chaotic battlefield.
The standout item is undoubtedly the X-Men: The Animated Series – Beast 1/6 Scale Figure, limited to 1,500 units worldwide. This exclusivity is a hallmark of the brand’s release strategy, often leading to rapid sell-outs. The figure is engineered with a high degree of articulation and features a variety of swappable hands and multiple portraits. These accessories allow collectors to toggle between Beast’s more contemplative, scholarly persona, complete with scientific “easter egg” accessories, and his more feral, action-oriented state.
Beyond the figure, the collection offers the X-Men #11: “We Ask The Stars ‘Why?'” Poster, a 4-colour screenprint produced on heavyweight Cougar Smooth 100# Opaque Natural Cover paper. This piece of art provides a striking visual anchor for any geek culture display, utilising the bold colour palettes synonymous with 90s comic art. To round out the set, a Beast Enamel Pin provides a more portable way for fans to show their affinity for the blue-furred scientist.
This release comes at a time when interest in the 90s X-Men era is at a fever pitch, following the success of the X-Men ’97 revival. By focusing on The Animated Series version of Beast, Mondo is tapping into a deep well of collective memory for fans who grew up with the Saturday morning cartoon. The attention to detail extends to the packaging and the specific choice of accessories, which are designed to feel like they’ve been pulled directly from the screen.
Pre-orders for the collection are scheduled to go live on Tuesday, 17 February, at 11 am CT through the official Mondo webstore. The figure is positioned as a premium collectable at $255, while the poster and pin are priced at $60 and $15, respectively. Collectors are advised to be ready at launch time, as the figure’s limited production run makes it a primary target for the secondary market and dedicated X-Men enthusiasts alike.
