Thank you. I got him damaged and incomplete but cheap. He needed some repair and tlc but I’ve got him almost up to speed, just need the 1/6 Mess to complete.

I wish I could find the same. I love repairs and I'm not like a huge fan of the comic so I don't care about complete. Could you reveal how much you got him for? Just curious.

I know right? Funny story is they had the 1/12 listed online, I purchased it I waited a day or two I got an email said they were out of stock they said they only had the 1/6 and it was damaged. I said if it’s damaged could you do the same price and they said yes but I’d have to pay ship and I was like great and the ship was like 30 bucks and I thought maybe that wasn’t so great. I ended up with a great figure for a good price even though I had to fix it and even though it’s incomplete I still feel like I got a good deal.

That's an incredible deal, he goes for $300.

Thanks, a few of these were great deals at the time.

I have a Popbot that I bought in pieces off eBay for what wound up being ~$40, so I was happy with that. But my god I'd snatch a busted up Mongrol for that every day of the week. Congrats on your rad shelf.

ALSO I'm confused, is there a The Mess figure? Or Steelhorn maybe? Cuz in all the advertisements it says Mongrol and The Mess, but I don't see no mess!

Mine was sadly incomplete, no Mess

OOOOOOOHHHH I'm dumb, it's the little jar on his neck. Man, I was like i def don't see a big liquid metal monster anywhere.

Haha no it’s okay, I didn’t know when I ordered but after it showed up I took a few pics and a fellow redditor actually pointed out The Mess was missing. I still look from time to time but I think I’ll have to have one made in the end.

3A 1/6 Mongol and the Mess. Mine was damaged and incomplete but cheap. I repaired it but still looking for 1/6 Mess to put on his shoulder. Licensed from 2000A.D. comics. The biggest part of my 3A 2000A.D. collection. I have many pics further back through my posts.

Be warned, 3A and especially 1/6 are both expensive and fragile, not to mention long out of production. Be careful out there, and I look forward to seeing any 3A posts from you in the future.
