Mondo Posters - Done or Not

[kdmlvr]

I am hoping so, but hear a lot of artists won't do work for them now. That being said, I'm sure there are other artists that will jump at the chance.

There are so many artist out there, I doubt they will have a problem finding an artist.

Completely agree with you.

I do hope they make some for SDCC this year

Quantity does not equal quality. They will never have the quality line up they had before.

[mastakimchi]

have they had any updates on taht robotech poster and cowboy bebop show they teased last year?

I think the update is all the artist pulled out......

I think the Cowboy Bebop show is done for unfortunately. I was really looking forward to it since it was going to be the first Mondo gallery show we've had in years.

I do hope that the art that was being worked on for that show does eventually make its way out to fans via Mondo, the artists themselves or other galleries.

Yes, hopefully the artists themselves will be able to put out their art where we can buy it.

I think you are right and we probably won;t see these unless the artists put them out or they had already submitted them to Funko/Mondo.

Here's hoping! There was a lot of hype for the art show, and I know there will be some killer art that I will need to add to my collection.

I'm with you hoping that somehow, someway, it will happen.

And the answer is yes ....

So sad. Posters are what made Mondo who they were. I cringed when Funko first purchased them and now we see why.

I was actually happy when Funko bought them, I foolishly thought it meant I’d see Mondo posters at the Hollywood store. Yes I’m young and was optimistic.

Hoping somehow it still happens, I was really looking forward to the Cowboy Bebop show.

I would think in about 5-7 weeks we should start hearing about what will be available at SDCC, now that FDO is over with, time to start planning SDCC

There are alot of artist out there, so I would say never say never.

Before at SDCC, Mondo was a different booth. I forgot, but will Mondo be a completely separate thing, or will lotto be required now? (The old Mondo booth, people would get in early, or even exhibitors get there first, getting the limited stuff before general public.

Nothing has been announced yet for this year. That being said most of the guys that have ran the booth for years arent working for Mondo any more.....

Who knows I’m just hoping mondo is involved somehow would be disappointing if it’s not

At SDCC Special edition, it appeared to be a new team there, and they did have a booth as part of Funko side... which felt really odd, since I've been so use to the old spot.

[jigsaw]

i think this was more a power move (just an opinion) but this will make mondo poster more available and less scarce? so this way everyone gets a poster but they wont be LE if they are its gonna be high numbers

[grumpysf23]

The glory days of Mondo prints/posters is probably over. I hope I'm wrong here but let's see if they have a presence during SDCC. Figure their toy and vinyl line will be more of a priority for Funko.

[FuegoGlorious]

I thought they said its confirmed its still going

[stl_ben]

You can stay its still going.....but words don't mean much.
Look how many fewer prints they have released since the announcment.
Look how many of their former artist have stated they will never work with Mondo again.
Artist with productions in the works were given the chance to pull out with the change and almost all of them did.
The new Creative Director (Attack Peter) has posted on social media that he needs help finding new artists.....

So sure they are continuing to make prints......just no artist want to design for them.

[FuegoGlorious]

you hate to see it

[wolfy233]

It sure seems like it. I really hope that's not the case though.

I think we need to give it some time, Attack Peter has also done some cool prints in the past.

Oh I'm not doubting Attack Peter makes great prints, he just can't keep up a Mondo level output on his own. They just announced a new Mondo Attack Peter print yesterday, and while that could be cool it to me screams I can't get any other artists so I'll have to do it myself. Like Rob Jones ran Mondo for over a decade and even before he was one of the top dogs at Mondo he was highly respected on print scene (heck he won a grammy for his art)....but yeah in all that time with Mondo he only released 3 Mondo prints. Attack Peter, one month in already releasing his first.

[mastakimchi]

I got a reply from attack peter when i asked him about the cowboy bebop show. he said it is still happening and news of it will be released soon. he also said that it won't be at austin, but at a different location. im glad its still on track

Last year at sdcc it was a lottery system and the mondo booth was right next to the funko and loungefly booth.

Maybe they can find or discover some new artist.

There's an updated article that says that poster production will continue. https://www.indiewire.com/2023/03/mondo-layoffs-funko-poster-production-doubt-1234822721/

Glad to hear that. Sad to hear that most of the og staff was let go, but am glad to hear that it isn't the end of Mondo art prints.

Did Funko cancel their contract all together with Mondo? or just let some staff go?

They let most of the staff go. Funko owns Mondo and they are still releasing product.

Ah, got it. cool thanks

I was bummed I couldn't snag the Hawkeye poster that dropped last week. I wish there had been a timed version for it because I wasn't able to even try for the regular drop. Oh well. Aftermarket it is for me i suppose.

But it's certainly proof that there are still posters coming in limited quantities and high quality production and artists.

It's proof that they can license already existing art, 0 major artist have created anything new for Mondo since the news came out. (unless you count Attack Peter who they hired as the new head creative partner.)

[PokemonMastaASH]

those new posters were kinda meh. yes no major content just a sad showing, like a person saying see I can still do this... but they really cant.

Yep looks like almost all the artist for the Cowboy Bebop show have pulled their art from Nu Mondo and taking it elsewhere

[grumpysf23]

I hope posters are not done but the focus of late has been toys and records. I won't be surprised if Monday does not have posters at SDCC and just have toys and records.
