Toy OTD: MINDstyle, Frank Cho Monkey Boy Vinyl Figure: NYCC Exclusive

Here's a terrific piece from one of the best figure-makers out there, MINDstyle. I've been very impressed with the level of quality of everything they do - if I don't want to buy it, it's usually a taste issue with the designer - and that's really rare, too!

This sculpt utterly nails Cho's drawing style, and it's a nice, solid, sag-resistant pose. The paint apps are really tight, and I like the color scheme a lot. If these colors are too loud for you, there's at least three other colorways, so you've got options.

This figure was exclusive to the New York Comic-Con earlier in the year, and I got mine for about $60. It might be a little trickier (or pricier) to get now. There's one for sale on eBay.ie for £74.99 (or about $150 USD).

Fantastic Frank Cho Vinyl Figure On The Way

It looks like "Monkey Boy" (Frank Cho's alter ego in Liberty Meadows) will make 'his' debut at the New York Comic-Con, Feb. 23rd - 25th. What a great figure! Nice, punchy colors and a sculpt that really nails Mr. Cho's drawing style. This'll be an exclusive paint variant to the Con, so snap it up if you're in the area. Mr. Cho will be making an appearance as well, so you can get it signed! Another (presumably the 'regular') version is due out soon from MINDstyle. However much it costs, it's worth it!

Thanks to vinylpulse for the tip-off!
