Posters..who cares about the posters. What about all toy product they were producing/developing?

they are addressing the posters because that was the only department that seemed to be going away, at least what i've been reading was people upset that Mondo wasn't going to be making posters anymore, there were even artists, who worked for Mondo, on twitter saying their goodbyes to the company.

I have a friend who's done sculpt work for Mondo on their MOTU 1/6 line, and I've asked if he knows if the action figure/collectibles division has been affected at all (because there's been no mention of that this whole time). If he says anything besides "I don't know," I'll report that here.

Mondo put out this statement today.

Variety has also confirmed that Funko has let go Mondo co-founders Mitch Putnam and Rob Jones.

According to an article by the website Thewrap.com, Funko which purchased Mondo back in June of last year has laid off most of the staff of Mondo.As of now, the only two divisions of the company that remain are the toys and records divisions. But insiders tell TheWrap its unclear how long those divisions will remain as part of the Funko portfolio.

I hope this means their 12" BTAS Joker comes out a little more cartoon accurate--and faster.
