After months of teasing, the team at Mondo has announced the next of its X-Men: The Animated Series inspired statues. The fan favourite Rogue and sometime beau Gambit are both available now in 1/6 scale figures.
Standing 11.75 inches high, the Rogue 1/6 Scale Figure comes complete with swappable hands and portraits to show off her complex power set and personality. Restricted to 1000 total figures, the Limited Edition also features the destroyed Sentinel Base plus three bonus portraits … including looks from the episode “Deadly Reunions” and X-Men: Evolution.
“When sculpting these iconic characters I always try to look at as much material as I can before distilling it down to what I feel is unmistakably them,” says Alex Brewer, Rogue’s Concept Designer and Sculptor. “For Rogue I found myself zeroing in on the very first moments we see of her flying through the air in the show’s intro. The shot starts on a nice close-up before pulling back to show her gracefulness and power as she speeds across the sky. I took a lot of inspiration from the Rogue-centric episode ‘A Rogue’s Tale,’ drawings by Larry Houston and Dan Veesenmeyer, and other specific moments throughout the series [like the crushed blaster taken off a Friend of Humanity in “Time Fugitives – Part One”]. But mainly my compass while sculpting was if I could look at her and hear Lenore Zann’s voice, I knew I was on the right track.”
Rogue is joined by Regular Edition of Mondo’s X:TAS Gambit 1/6 Scale Figure for this very occasion. Both figures are available online at MondoShop.com. More product details can be found here on Mondo’s official blog post, and even more information will be available tonight at 8 PM ET/ 7 PM CT/5 PM PT on Mondo’s official YouTube channel, which will feature an in-depth look with Senior Creative Director Hector Arce and Peter Santa-Maria.
But that’s not all! Mondo also dropping an iconic Marvel repro … X-Men #24, featuring artwork by Andy Kubert and Matthew Ryan. Limited to an edition of 185, this screenprinted poster is 16” by 24” and printed on red foil paper.
