I'm one of the many new customers of Mondo, specifically for this line. I'm a seasoned Ghostbusters fan. Even though I'm turning 58 next year, I still love The Real Ghostbusters! Thanks for the free shipping!
I know I complained about the shipping price in the chat, and I haven't been the only one. Just prior to that, I reached out to Mondo customer service about it. I have been told that they are about to introduce free domestic shipping on large orders, and my own shipping charge was refunded. So, if you're on the fence about the two-packs because of the shipping charge, it won't be an issue. Mondo did the right thing for their customers and the smart thing for their business model, and now I'm all-in. Major props to Mondo!
Awesome of Mondo to make these at all, and great to see the domestic shipping made free! But if I could tweak just one little thing about these figures, it would be to see the Ghostbusters each get a pair of ungloved resting hands included, for posing while the proton gun is holstered or while they're not wearing it. I can't imagine it would add much at all to the cost to produce, so hopefully Mondo will consider it!
Some thoughts on the cost of these.... Mondo despite it's popularity, is still a relitively small niche company compared to someone like Hasbro. The Real Ghostbusters may be an expensive license to pay for Mondo. The standards of Mondo are known to be better quality. You have to take into account the cost to the sculptor, to design each individual Ghostbusters character. These are very detailed compared to other figures. Cost to the sculptor for all of the Ghost characters designed, including the smaller ones. Cost to a factory to produce them, and as it is a small run, could prove more expensive than mass produced at a discount. Prototypes could prove expensive, especially if further communication and action is needed to make changes. Cost to the factory workers who will be painting these products, who will have to be good painters, rather than painters who are generally used for mass produced pieces. They are not regular color injected pieces, and instead are hand painted. Cost to the artist/artists who designs the box art and packaging. Cost of the packing materials, including plastics. Cost of marketing the products, including visting Comic Cons, paying the photographers, and paying someone to promote the line. Shipping costs involved in delivering them to customers. Mondo will have to pay a percentage of their sales to the taxman. I guess somewhere in there Mondo have to turn a profit.....
Excellent figure sculpts, really looking forward to receiving these! Dont forget, as of 10/30, free domestic shipping from Mondo on these packs! My initial shipping charge refunded this morning. 🤘👻
I do love the animated series to my core but that price isn’t in the cards for me because I collect 3 other lines in addition to Plasma series. Super 7 is out here sapping people’s wallets. The vintage Kenner sets were enough for me. Having said that, these are some immaculate sets.
I know Alex has nothing to do with it, but that 30 dollar shipping charge was a real kick in the nuts. I was expecting no charge for the US like their sixth scale offerings and it would be nice to hear from Peter or someone else at Mondo what's driving that because it's pretty out of whack with other retailers. I was planning on grabbing this two pack, but now I may just pivot to the lone Ghostbusters since I can get that with free or cheap shipping elsewhere. It's either that or spend $130 on Samhain and I don't know if I need him that bad.
I emailed Mondo asking if this was a mistake on my order. It's $43 to Canada and someone said it was $65 to the UK. Money isn't an issue but I don't like the idea of paying extra without a clear reason.
@ it doesn’t make sense. These are not nearly as highly articulated as Mafex and Mafex is an import which makes them more expensive over here. Mezco usually has a lot of cloth goods which raise the price. These don’t have that and since they’re based on a cartoon, the sculpts don’t have a ton of detail either. These look equivalent to Super 7 Ultimates.
@ I understand that lol. I’m not a ghostbusters fan and wouldn’t be buying these at any price point but you guys need to be honest with yourselves. You’re getting ripped off.
@BatmanEightnine They might look equivalent to Super7 Ultimates renders, but I think the final product will actually look like what's being advertised lol.
The matching Mondo tees was priceless 😂

I imagine Alex getting these figures made is how Rudy felt when he finally got to play football.
Those RGB figures are absolutely awesome! Great stuff!
Epic🔥🤙🏾
I have ordered 2 of the 2 packs. These look so awesome

This will be my first mondo figure and I'm actually getting these for the ghosts.
A Mondo Stay Puft is a necessity.
I'm wondering if the charge for shipping is a mistake. All of the 1/6 figures have free shipping.
The Grendal or copy cat would be cool!
The only issue with this line is that I need a whole year to get the whole team. Haha
Filmation ghostbusters would work well!
GB figs look awesome, the birthday thing has run its course Johnny
I got the single pack pre-ordered

@@AMVH2012 looks like they're changing to free shipping for domestic. I hope that means a break for you Canadians as well.
$120 would have been a decent price point for this set. $202 is insane.
They are expensive but they're the same price per figure as Mezco and Mafex 6 inch stuff so it makes sense

@@BatmanEightnine Sorry these arent for everyone... I have no problem throwing my money at these.

how often are these getting released or we having to wait 4 years to finally have all 4 busters?
Once per quarter. So the second set will go up in early 2025.
And these have no articulation? Looks they have almost 5poa?
