This sold me. I ordered my Scare Glow from Mondo a moment ago, throwing in a Creature from the Black Lagoon. Wish I had a juggernaut.

[@stevenmabee3232]

This figure checks both my boxes I'm a sucker for, translucent and glowing figures

[@barnacleburrito3728]

*transparent

[@PixelPipes]

Really cool you talked to the Creative Director on this. Really elevates this preview!

[@bee-beargaming]

The wires in the cape is the cherry on top for me

[@KryptonianClone7828]

I truly love any Glow in the Dark Stuff, especially Action Figures. The New "Scare Glow" Figure, looked Marvelous. The Detailing also, looked Incredible. Absolutely a Hands Down, one Coolest GIow in Dark Figure ever!

[@Collector_Phil]

I’ve been waiting so hard for this…Somehow the moment I found out it’s finally released next week, I was actively looking online for GITD Skeleton figures… This one is for me…Better than I imagined since last year’s reveal. The box being GITD is so great I’m almost in tears on top of it this is the most perfect hommage to Scareglow. Major props to MONDO And thank you Dan for the first video about this.

[@MinuteMuncher]

Holy bleepity bleep! I knew the size but... seeing the comparison... can't wait to have this in hand. What a centre-piece! (I had a hope it might be less pricey than the 1/6th stuff but... I get it.)

[@Thinker0822]

I'm not a MOTU fan nor a collector of the toy line but this, will be an exception!!

[@apoloniochavez7949]

Ordered. I foresaw myself seeing it in person at the Mondo booth at this year's San Diego Comic-Con wishing I had ordered it; which has happened before! "Buy now, or cry later!"-Chad Kassem

[@emerje0]

I thought this was an interesting one off, but then he goes and mentions Roboto at the end and I'm totally sold on that.

[@Collector_Phil]

No WAY that’s crazy it’s exactly what was dwelling on my mind recently and I didn’t even notice that! Damn I knew it, they’re gonna make Roboto and I will have to get him too I’m certain! I was just trying to imagine which other jumbo figure I would actually have interest in other than Scare Glow, and for the clear plastic chest Roboto was my only choice! I imagined intricate working gears inside, surpassing all other iterations of this figure. That will have me sold. I know for a fact that I’m not interested in any other jumbo renditions other than those two.

[@mikepetersen7319]

Wow! Mondo on Top again!👍👏 Scareglow now really scary for the first Time. Amazing! Excelsior!

[@warrennewman5325]

Wow this looks awesome quite scary glow thanks for showing us 👍

[@canadiacookie]

Just happy it's a time limited exclusive and not just a set amount made like their previous Scare Glows. Gives me hope it'll be the same thing for the next Scare Glow and his horse.

[@ReverendPONT]

They ditched the limited and outside of Convention exclusives, all their releases are now timed. Probably the only good thing that came out of being bought by Funko.

[@Dickie2shoes]

​@@ReverendPONTTheir recent Rogue exclusive sold out within 3 minutes.

[@ReverendPONT]

@@Dickie2shoes I was referring to the MOTU ones mainly as that's thr only Mondo experience I have. I forgot they do other Toy Lines lol. Interesting they don't do timed exclusives for their other 1/6 lines.

[@MtgVeteran]

sofubi getting some love, ty Dan

[@spartan6971]

Thanks for the information, I've been able to acquire this fabulous piece.... Once again thanks to you and your wonderful videos.🎉

[@Nediablo]

Oh my good gracious that's perfect!!! ❤ That alt head is so good that I simply don't have a favourite!!!!?

[@Dekadenzstyle80ies]

This Version of Scare Glow is amazing 🤗 Huge Scare Glow gives you a creepy night ...Shine Baby, Shine 😉

[@wildsmiley]

I want. **checks wallet and checking account balance** I can't. 💸

[@ChuckCoulter7572]

So understood!

[@joshua2814]

So beautiful.

[@kaiserpr0728]

Great figure. Is the clear plastic going to be yellow eventually? That’s my only concern

[@user-dk3up2nl1m]

15"? Thats big! My Classics Scareglow still glows after all this time!

[@theartisanrogue]

...I get this feeling that a Snake Mountain in scale with that Scare Glow may be on the release dock for 2026 from Mondo. :D

[@pantherpawz]

I think mondo should create a whole new line in this style.

[@dineshp6813]

Mondo figures are expectional.Thanks for the nice video.

[@TheKarsten75]

This is perfection.

[@ChuckCoulter7572]

Nice. Here's to a new format. Love that idea.

[@AleexKp]

Looks dope!

[@DjEDGain]

Idk if I can pay 250 for a recreation figure. At that point I can just get the real 80s scareglow

[@ForEternia]

Re-creation figure ? 🤦‍♂️You obviously don't get it 🙄

[@snoopfobz]

Amazing 👏 I want it thanks mondo ❤

[@NickDoobs]

Cmon Hector... Dont act like you haven't seen the customizers that have been doing this for years. Shout out Scott Cherry, Rainbowyawn, Im sure there are a few others.

[@ForEternia]

In his defense, I've never heard of any other customizers that produced this. So it is possible he's never seen them

[@NickDoobs]

@ForEternia I guess it's possible. Seems unlikely though. Mondo is always at Designercon.

[@vengeance1701]

My biggest hesitation is that so far, Mondo has been a little iffy on quality control. At least in my experience.

[@emptycanvas79]

Mondo, I want to buy this! Thank you:)

[@jonwesleyhuff]

Ordered mine! I do wish the lower part of the cape was wired too. Without that, it's harder to get cool poses. I really have no idea which head I'm going to use. I like both a lot.

[@MiyamotoMusashi9]

For $300 this should light up on its own .

[@markheadley125]

Awesome action figure toy collection ❤😊

[@danielrecommends]

This is a really cool Scarglow. However, that new head sculpt looks like a Terminator head painted white with the crack at the top. Its still an amazingly designed figure!

[@Randomark3087]

This looks sick!

[@mams1701]

Wish this was the remake of the mondo version rather than the original.. This would have been amazing...

[@user-jy2qd6sj7w]

very satisfied to watch an expensive toy unboxed

[@jayd5360]

We need this tech for Origins!!!!

[@MaestroDrake]

I remember Digitino had that much glowing power but Blight had composition in his action figure from Batman Beyond.

[@ForEternia]

Keep dreaming 😅

[@gregmartinez6387]

I wanted the Mondo Delux skeletor and missed out, im debating on this one :/

[@bookat69]

Man, I'm really sad I missed out on those first two Scareglows from Mondo. Here's hoping the next release to go along with Nyte-Mare is easier to get.

[@bojanandjelkovic3029]

Kenner/Hasbro have already did something like this in 5" scale in 1999 (Blight from Batman Beyond line) and Toy Biz did Skullfire's hands in this way (X-Men 2099 line from 1995) Now, if just Mattel could do something like this for New Eternia Scare Glow...

[@ivane5110]

Makes me think back to Pulsar as a kid. I really wish theycould've done this technique with the 6 Million Dollar Man (still with roll up skin)

[@kaiserpr0728]

I need 2 without the capes to be next to scarglow with nightmare. Is like you go to pre-eternia and fighting scarglow with minions skeletons

[@Dickie2shoes]

I'd buy a jumbo Mosquitor like this with a working blood pump feature.

[@Collector_Phil]

Oh wow that I hadn’t thought of until seeing your post, I’ll have to see how this comes out, but it’s an awesome prospect

[@goldenage]

This borders between being a toy and being Pop art. Very reminiscent of those "Visible Man" model kits. So does anyone know if this is what was intended with the original MOTU toy?

[@ForEternia]

Watch the video

[@goldenage]

@@ForEterniaI did, PD broguht it up but im wondering if there's an answer.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

Wow, making skeleton figures like that looks like a cool idea!

[@wasabi-in-my-eye3134]

I seen this effect on a Trigun figure somewhere.

[@TankAce69]

I had one Trigun Monev the Gale clear version with similar feature.

[@BionicKasai]

Dan, you have got to review the Jada Mega Man figures, I first discovered your channel back when Funko made their Mega Man figures.

[@melkor2301]

Best figure maybe, but the coming Tweeterhead Scare Glow statue will be the best incarnation ever. 😁

[@EmilianoSantalucia]

Wait to see the new 1/6 Scare Glow coming later from Mondo ;)

[@gez9145]

damn.. that is beautiful

[@Warchestfulloftoys]

i have a love hate relationship with mondo the figures are amazing but the suprise drop almost no notice makes it hard to budget for their products and they are releasing them so fast now orko rogue and now scareglow all withen 30 days give us digital renders like hasbro so we know whats coming so people can prep and budget

[@LichRC]

I want it.

[@Nunos645cgh]

Psygnosis 😍

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Wow❤😂

[@TobyKester9]

Why didn't you do a comparison to the Origins and Masterverse Revelation Scare Glow?

[@charliewhited4374]

Fantastic video as always. Can’t wait to pick this guy up!

[@thirty3255]

I don’t know now the bones are so small compared to the head and compared to what we are used to

[@danleonard3110]

Love it. They have the best job.

[@dirkangle1804]

Is this available? Anyone know how to get one!?

[@butiplayoneontv]

did you watch the video?

[@Marneus28]

It's really cool but why make it so big? Couldn't it have worked in like a 7 to 12 inch size range?

[@Nunos645cgh]

That’s not their jam, Mondo makes huge figures and that is what most of us collectors want!

[@gianluca.pastorelli]

Why is it called soft vinyl? I would think it means plasticized PVC, but that Scare Glow looks pretty sturdy (and cool!)

[@hectorarce4486]

It’s called soft vinyl because everything, other than the bones and feet are made of soft vinyl, rather than pvc. The method of slush casting also prevents it from being called plasticized pvc.

[@Hellis4eva]

Are you doing a toy room tour

[@Retro_AO_1982]

Such an epic figure/statue!..😂 It's early but definitely a front runner for top toy of 2024! Wow! 👏👏💀

[@TravisSmith-sg8rw]

My biggest hesitation on buying anything from Mondo is the price. I don't have that many more spare organs to sell to afford more of their stuff.

[@sammywestenberger9303]

🆒

[@frankjones9839]

It's nice but it's not $265 nice - crazy price for a hunk of plastic.

[@Charmander009]

Exactly

[@KrevarProd]

Hoping his left hand will glow as the right one...

[@MiyamotoMusashi9]

That size figure should contain internal lights to make it glow

[@joeflood5727]

Hm, I would absolutely get this if it were the size of the vintage figures, or if they redid the 12" version with this gimmick, but have to pass on this 15" version. @pixeldan since you have the designer's contact I would love to know how they get the bones into the clear limbs without the clear parts being 2-part shells!

[@jacobwright238]

The size I don't like if it stayed 5 inches I would be all over it.

[@saddad6601]

I’m on the fence with this at the moment. I have absolutely no place to put him and I’m also paying monthly for two other MOTU mondo figures as it is. The timing is terrible and they are releasing their figures at an alarming rate for my wallet. I had to pass on Panthor because of that as I had just gotten Battle Cat a couple months earlier! Shew MONDO, slow down a bit.

[@SlytherinReviews]

this figure would cost me 404.27 Australian Dollars

[@MiyamotoMusashi9]

Remember the electronic iron giant from Walmart $20 Meanwhile Mondo makes garbage for $300 . That thing should have batteries or USB and light up green with some black inner accents . Without glowing it looks like some un painted prototype

[@icemancustoms]

I was waitting on the price drop. I decided I'd pay 299.94 and surprisingly it's a little less. I'm in. Awesome!

[@able75dev60]

They should have just done this for scareglow with their better proportioned 1:6line. IMO the original style/proportion 80s He man figures look kinda lame when you blow them up big. Made even worse when you can see how dumb their skeletons would look under that build compared to what an actual skeleton looks like.

[@klimkozinevich1737]

dudes made the absolute best #1 licensed art toy in many many years. Love it

[@kinja73]

It does look really cool, but the nostalgia center of my brain just refuses to accept a Scare Glow that doesn't have a glowing green body with black bones, as opposed to the inverse presented here. Still a neat looking figure though!

[@dannyjones3689]

Idk about this one to me it just looks weird being bones and putting it in a plastic case

[@luis4015]

In my experience, Mondo's quality control and customer service are horrible, no thanks

[@edwardjohnson6744]

Truth, and their prices are a tad on the outrageous side.

[@MaestroDrake]

This and Mattel's shady practice of quietly releasing chase figures overseas only.

[@nicholashill8724]

I totally disagree, I think that Mondo's customer service is exceptional, and their quality control has been a bit poor in the past but it is getting better all the time I feel! Kudos to Mondo!

[@animatorhaynes]

I disagree too - Mondo has outstanding customer service, and quality control has got better and better - but if there's an issue, they fix it! And their products are beautiful works of art.

[@NickDoobs]

QC is terrible, but I've found their Customer service to be very good. So good that it makes up for the bad QC

[@wewentblues]

Cool fig….. but that clear plastic is going to yellow….badly.

[@kingmarkseven17]

I really like this but Mondo is really pricing a lot of people out of it. It didn't need to be 15" with a $265 price tag + shipping. Kinda ridiculous, especially with them also taking pre-orders for their other high priced figures.

[@eddiemus78]

$265???!!!!! 😂 😂 😂 April fool’s is not until April. I found out about this character until last year. I never hear of it in my childhood. But I think it’s cool and that’s the way it should really look. I was starting to beet excited to get me one until I heard the price But I was’t expecting that price. 😢 I would’ve gotten it for $90 max

[@coolslc]

$100 maybe! $265 is a joke!

[@Charmander009]

90. It’s a big figure , maybe150

[@coolslc]

$265?! 😂😂😂 pass!

[@thatguysstuff15]

I dont want a 15 inch figure . It stand out tooo much .

[@jasonnorth7898]

Wait---$265??!!

[@moogle_k]

😮 I wanted one, but not at that price. Wow!

[@artmanson666]

The price is insane. Vinyl is cheap there r hardly any paint apps. I think $175 would’ve moved more units.

[@moogle_k]

😢 I sadly agree. I have the money available for it... but nearly $300 is just insane. I'd like one, but not at this price. I'm out and save the money for when Teela releases.

[@Charmander009]

Should be 200 max

[@jasonnorth7898]

Translucent...Glow in the Dark... If you put bacon on it, men would go to war for this.

[@carlosaugustosoria4805]

El juguete horroroso 😣 lo único bueno es su Glow in the dark el resto de figuras de He-man son de mal gusto, mejor tmnt saludos 💪🏻🇦🇷🐢

[@MiyamotoMusashi9]

Mondo is cringe. Fan made stuff makes their $300 stuff look like a ripoff

[@epicgamesforyou3615]

$300 for an oversized, half- articulated figure. The concept was great, however should have been done in 6 inch scale.

[@rickthesharkster]

Hey pixel Dan. You should ask Hector why he likes ripping off his customers? Cheap plastic and no paint app for $265? This should have been priced at $150 max. Hector and Mondo should be ashamed.

[@RealNobody0815]

Sry, don’t like it… Looks cheap and simple to me

[@IdiotF0ol]

The hand bones are too short. Looks weird...

[@TypicalTonk]

Mondo, hey? So people will be getting it sometime around 2036? Nearly US$300? Gimme a break.
