MONDO Unleashes The Beast A Staggering 1/6 Scale Tribute to X-Men ’97

MONDO Captures the Animation Soul in Plastic

Listen, when a company like MONDO tackles a project based on the animated classic, you sit up and take notice. This new release focusing on the Beast (野獸) from X-Men ’97 is an absolute standout. For those of us who grew up watching Hank McCoy evolve from his first appearance in Uncanny X-Men #1, seeing him rendered in this scale is a genuine thrill.

What impresses me most immediately is the dedication to the 2D aesthetic. The sculpt, overseen by Alex Brewer, manages to translate the cel-shaded look of the animation directly onto a three-dimensional form. The way the paint application handles the shading and highlights gives him that vibrant, slightly stylized look that defined the series. It’s not just an action figure; it’s a moving piece of animation history.

This isn’t a minimalist release, either. The articulation appears robust, allowing collectors to capture those classic, dynamic poses. But the accessories are where they really delivered. We get five interchangeable heads—five!—capturing different emotional states. Then there’s the lab coat, the glasses, the open and closed books, and even that fantastic Howard the Duck T-shirt folded up. That’s a collector-focused accessory loadout that speaks volumes about respecting the source material.

The height checks out at approximately 30.2 cm (appx. 11.9 inches), giving him a powerful presence. The inclusion of the tech backpack is a smart nod to his scientific roots. The fact that this is a limited run of only 1500 units underscores its exclusivity. This is definitely going into the must-have column for any serious collector of this era of Marvel animation.
