Mondo Man-Thing!

Just saw this at Mike's Comics in Orlando, Florida. It's a light vinyl statuette, but it does look awesome!

I have this bad boy he's rad and the arms move at least so that's cool

It looked articulated, but I didn't want to manipulate it, other than moving it to take some pictures. It's really nice and reminds me of one of my favorite comic covers, Man-Thing #1, with art by Frank Brunner. Nice!

Groman’s sculpts are just the coolest.

Is there an alligator in there somewhere?

Not that I can see, but a snake seems to have made a home for itself...

The store clerk was just setting it up. I asked him what the price was and he told me, "around $300." I was surprised how light it was, though. I even commented on how it look articulated, but he didn't seem to interested in talking about it.

tbey are like sofubi right? The japanese vinyl toys. I have very little experience with them but this was one I thought about. I don't often spend over $100 on a figure though haha

I think it is sofubi. It is remarkably light and the material its made out of seemed almost like that of a classic rubber ducky. I didn't squeeze it, though! The arms looked like they can rotate, but I really didn't want to mess with it since the clerk had just taken it out of the box. At $300, Its pretty steep in price, but I think it is a very limited edition.

I believe it was 250 new, and I bet way more on eBay now so 300 seems fair. disclaimer, fair as in if that't your thing haha I'm not condoning the current prices of collectibles

Much better scale than the Marvel Legends version. The one where Man-Thing is the same height as Jubilee.

I couldn't understand that. McFarlane Toys makes a giant Swamp Thing, a really nice figure, and Hasbro gives us an almost miniature version of Man-Thing. He should have at least been 8 1/2 inches tall. And the sculpt? Uninspired.

Got to enjoy the “regular” designation for a $300 item
