DOOM Slayer 12-Inch Action Figure (And Other Merchandise)

I did a forum search but could not find any recent threads about this. A new 1/6th scale DOOM Slayer action figure is available for pre-order from various outlets. This is the Mondo figure that was originally revealed as a prototype back in 2020. There was no further news about the figure after that initial reveal, so some people assumed it had been cancelled. Well, it's finally releasing and is planned to ship sometime between November 2023 and January 2024.

A standard edition is available from Bethesda Gear Store for US $250.00, and an Exclusive edition with some additional weapons and a Lost Soul is available from Dark Horse Direct for US $295.00.

As for my opinions on the figure, I think it's too darn expensive for what is shown in the photos. The coloring on some parts of the DOOM Slayer's armor such as the boots looks off, and his hands seem tiny. I'm curious to see what others' reviews are like once the figure ships. Regardless, I'm still pretty happy with the McFarlane figures. I never got the figma though due to some mediocre reviews (the figure's joints are ugly and the shoulder cannon is extremely fragile).

In addition to the Mondo figure, a little stained glass window ingot of the crucible sword is available for pre-order from Fanattik. Note Fanattik's prices are higher than some stores, so it's probably better to see if the stuff on their website is available elsewhere first. Fanattik also has a classic key set and a silver edition of their floppy replica available.

I have been following a company called GOOD SMILE for at least a year now because they announced a figure of Doomguy doing the pose from the box art, but they haven't mentioned it in a while, I think it will never release. Or it will release in the 30 years anniversary of Doom just like this one.

I've also been waiting for more news on that figure. I hope it eventually gets a release window, because it's from a line called Pop Up Parade which apparently focuses on figures with "affordable prices and speedy releases" (although I guess that last part doesn't apply for the Doomguy one).

Regarding the Dark Horse Direct action figure, it looks as if it won't even sell. On other forums, I've seen it compared negatively to the McFarlane figure (which is smaller but looks similar and is significantly cheaper). I've also seen a lot of criticism aimed at the figure's price and its joint engineering. I guess this one's ultimately a disappointment.
