Got my notification last night about Winston Shipping. Should be here after the big snow storm. Yay!

[Chicken, He Clucked]

Wonder if a Janine tease will land this week…

[mrmichaelt]

Whoo-hoo, got my shipping notification!

Wonder if a Janine tease will land this week…

Today, they posted a tease of their STAS Superman so not looking like it.

[undead ghosthead]

I'm still waiting for Egon shipments to be fulfilled. I did not think I would get my single packed Winston before Egon.

[yourbigpalal83]

My package shipped (two pack) but it got delayed. I thought it was arriving today but it was another package i ordered and forgot about. But hopefully by next week if we dont get another storm.

Ray ships what? in May? Mays going to be a ghostbusters heavy month this year, now that Haslab delayed both the Ecto Glow Ecto 1 and the 84 Pack until then.

Did they say they delayed the Rooftop set too or is that still for March?

[mrmichaelt]

undead, did you contact Mondo about your Egon order? That seems... troubling.

Ray ships what? in May? Mays going to be a ghostbusters heavy month this year, now that Haslab delayed both the Ecto Glow Ecto 1 and the 84 Pack until then.

Did they say they delayed the Rooftop set too or is that still for March?

yes, Ray & Ghash is still set to ship in May.

They said Rooftop Showdown is "expected to ship in the first half of 2026" during the 12/16 YHS Holiday Stream-A-Thon. Contrasting that, the page on Hasbro Pulse still says March 1. So shrug. Between March and June I guess.

That's what has happened with my package. It's departing from Austin, TX. and they are in the middle of a crazy snowstorm right now. My package hasn't moved an inch in a week with UPS just stating "Weather has caused a shipping delay". Oh, well. As long as it shows up in one piece and undamaged.

[yourbigpalal83]

Im getting nervous with winston here. I hope they diden't lose my figure. In fact i thought they delivered him to the wrong house at first. I had ordered another item from a different store, and i got the email saying UPS was droping off my package on Wednesday. I totally forgot i ordered the other package (it was a 15 dollar medical item) and naturally assumed THAT was winston, so when it showed up, im expecting this big Mondo style box like the other 2 figures, and its this tiny package, and im going...UM...wheres winston, and i check the UPS App and it said ITEM DELIVERED....Problem was i was checking the tracking for the small medical item, NOT WINSTON which was a seperate tracking number, for about 5 minuets i thought Winston was delivered to the wrong address... and im here going...their is no way in hell Mondo is going to ship me out another Winston.... turns out hes stuck in Texas...which until a few years ago, i never even knew they got snow! When you think of texas, i think of deserts, cows and pee wee herman and the Alamo....not snow. Go figure.

[Kingpin]

I appreciate feeling nervous, but unfortunately it just seems to take a while for Mondo (and Hasbro...) to get these things shipped to people, and that's not even factoring in the recent snowstorms as others have mentioned.

I can't speak with any authority when items have been delivered by UPS in the States, but the status updates I've received via email (and sometimes by text message on other items) have usually mentioned "Mondo" or "LEGO" in their descriptions on the big ticket items I've recently ordered... If UPS does something similar, then hopefully that will help avoid a similar misconstruing in future.

[yourbigpalal83]

i get what your saying...its just weird winston disapeared from UPS for a few days without any updates.

[mrmichaelt]

Nah, that's their M.O. really, for like the past 30 years, I've only mostly gotten weird tracking results for my UPS shipments. I'm in the west and more times than I can count with both hands, it says it shipped from places like Nevada/Colorado/Washington/California and I used to think 'good, I'll get this in a day' -- then it's at the hub in Kentucky for days no updates, then all of a sudden back in the west coast usually right near where it shipped, then I get it 2 days later. And what's the shipping label say? Lexington, Kentucky. I've tried to rationalize it like all shipments have to go through Kentucky as its origin point. Or I try to peel the label off to see if there's one under it and there's none. I've since given up and let whatever happens happen. Sure, sometimes it feels like UPS and USPS are competing to give me random locations sure but FedEx and DHL, never had that kind of issue. Shrug.

[yourbigpalal83]

Im sorry, im just dealing with alot lately and winston right now is the one positive thing i have to look forward too...i just dont want him to get lost and im out 240 dollars. Its not like mondo has a ton more to ship out as a replacment. the two pack has been sold out for months, and right now everything that can go wrong is going wrong...im just in the mindset that this is going to go wrong too any moment now. lol

[mrmichaelt]

Got mine a day earlier in the early evening. Must be terrible to keep delivering even when it's dark.

[Chicken, He Clucked]

Surely Janine up any day now….

[mrmichaelt]

Man, no joke, that Sandman is a big boy.

How is everyone storing the accessories? In box or do you have a special storage case for them?

Surely Janine up any day now….

The big pre-order this week is Superman from Superman: The Animated Series in a few hours then the livestream on Thursday features that. Maybe a Janine teaser image on socials on Wednesday or Friday then pre-orders next week.

[Kingpin]

How is everyone storing the accessories? In box or do you have a special storage case for them?

In the short-term, I have them stored in bags in a separate storage container... Hopefully when I have a place of my own sorted, I'll have the accessories stored adjacent to where the figures are displayed.

[mrmichaelt]

Welp, not looking like Janine next week. Mondo teased Beast today.

[Kingpin]

Maybe they'll tease Janine around the 19th?

[mrmichaelt]

Maybe they'll tease Janine around the 19th?

Maybe the 13th at the earliest. Depends on how stacked this month is for them in terms of pre-orders. Not too sure the most they've ever done in a row. Yeah, gotta be either the 13th or 20th when they do a first tease for Janine. Hector said February so unless that changes, knock wood it doesn't, Janine pre-orders will start on either February 17 or February 24.

[Chicken, He Clucked]

Looking like it'll be the end of Feb now.

[Kingpin]

The replacement body for Winston, and the replacement unhappy Sandman head arrived yesterday (For future reference for folks requesting replacement parts, I originally contacted Mondo on the 16th of December, had confirmation of the replacement parts from the Mondo rep and website on the 18th of December, and the parts arrived on the 16th of February).

The replacement Sandman head appears to be perfect, so I'm very happy with this aspect of the replacements... Unfortunately the replacement body for Winston does display some quality control issues as well... Winston's left leg doesn't seem to sit in the hip socket quite as close as his right leg, resulting in one foot being 2-3mm further out than the other, resulting in him standing crooked.
There is a small mark on the inside of his lower left leg, which is a bit irking, but it's not as much of an issue as the scratch on the original body.
Finally, the legs are super stiff to move at the hip joints... I'm hoping they'll loosen up with a bit of manipulation, though I'll have to see.

So my options are:
•Migrate Winston's head and hands to the new figure, and hope the legs losen up in due course.
•Migrate Winston's upper body (and unblemished arm) from the replacement figure and onto the original figure... I assume the waist joint is a ball socket like the head/hands etc. though I don't have any concrete evidence it is.
•Migrate the lower left arm from the new figure to the old figure, removing the blemished lower left arm in the process.

Whichever option I go for, it seems I'm going to have to try pop off some part of Winston's body off in order to resolve the original issue... It's not great, and I'm a little worried about damaging one or both figures, but it looks like this is the hand I've been dealt. Wish me luck.

Janine promo is up on the Mondo insta.

If I’m reading correctly it sounds like there is only one edition and desk is part of it. I think her head sculpt is the least show accurate of the line so far, something slightly off - but still an essential purchase for me.

If we’re lucky this won’t be much more than $101. She doesn’t have the proton pack or a major ghost. So the desk and accessories surely won’t be tied to license agreements or count as an additional figure…

[Kingpin]

And the listing is up on Mondo's site: LINK. Janine's set is priced at $140.

[Chicken, He Clucked]

That’s a great price from my perspective. Mondo continue to knock it out of the park with this RGB line.

Getting ahead of myself, I wonder what comes next… because there’s another release before Louis & Grundel drop iirc. Boogeyman variant? Something bigger?

[Kingpin]

Boogieman variant would be my guess, but I'm happy to be pleasantly surprised.

[dalbyspook]

Greetings all.

$140? Very happy with that. Also, don't forget to use your Mondo 10% discount code, if you still have one, after the Venkman shipping debacle.

[Chicken, He Clucked]

$140? Very happy with that. Also, don't forget to use your Mondo 10% discount code, if you still have one, after the Venkman shipping debacle.

I’d recommend saving the 10% code for a $202 two-pack or a potentially more expensive Stay Puft or Ecto.
I used mine on Ray… Mondo were very careful so none of the figures I was interested in were on sale at the same time. XD
Although the Over the Garden Wall figures were significantly cheaper than expected so I didn’t mind.

[dalbyspook]

It's a miracle I remembered the code existed this time round, after entirely forgetting to use it on Ray!

[mrmichaelt]

Hat tip to Mondo for keeping the MSRP below $200 but also below $150. What a relief. Another relief this is NOT a limited edition so I don't have to fret about nabbing one on the 1st day of pre-orders.

A Boogieman variant like the Samhain one was my first thought since it's likely they know people were still on the fence at the time of Egon & Boogieman pre-orders. But sure, there's a chance it's something brand new like a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man with another Slimer variant and maybe another ghost / supporting character. Maybe like a bag of Stay Puft Marshmallows, maybe even Cyrus Spengler or Marty Tillis, would be super surprised if he came with another big ghost like Murray or Phantom, maybe throw in his yo-yo or the crane he uses on Phantom.

The small print for the photos do indicate that's still a prototype so here's hoping they improve on her head sculpt for the final.

It is worth noting that while it may not be limited, it is a timed edition meaning that you have until March 10 to order one. Otherwise, you are out of luck.
