srsly.. the collection had mostly badass movies with terminator, thing, total recall, drive, etc.. and now all of a sudden if you want to keep your collection complete you have to purchase 10 disney movies with basicly the same artwork

Spoiler

ordered btw *sigh* lol

I prefer iconic movies with outstanding artwork for these. I was very happy with Olly Moss Jungle Book and a Tom Whalen but I don't want them all in this range.

Ideally

Laurent Durieux - Rear Window and
Kevin Tong - Mulholland Drive

They are my dream choices.

I would like Kurtz' Clockwork Orange too

I will probably end up ordering this too.

 

[yeslek]

hate to be so negative but that looks an ugly mess

 

[wjasoncul]

So what other Tom Whalen Disney steels can we expect based on existing Mondo art. Where's @virkia when you need him?

Nvmd - I see that Wreck posted a link in the Tom Whalen thread... I didn't realize that was created

 

[paulboland]

You can expect the Mondo X titles 22/23/24/25/26/27/28 be announced in 2019 some will be from Tom Whalen and some will be Disney/Pixar films

Not really feeling this and I usually like Whalen's art. Ariel kinda looks like she had a stroke, though.

Love it...what’s hoping this art would be released on a steelbook...ordered.

 

[virkia]

V. nice and love the cover but was hoping that after CHICKEN LITTLE I'd get the chance to order one other of the few remaining first timer steelbooks . . . would be nice to finally come to the end and post a pic of the group.
Expensive certainly for a 1-disc steelbook but definitely one for the collector rather than the casual.

This is Tom Whalen no?

I thought and still think so too but the Zavvi link says olly moss in the description....

 

[Marco86]

Tom Whalen for this one. Same as Incredibles Steelbook.

Then the link gives false info. I think Tom Whalen too

For those who want this but are waiting for a price drop are you sure that's a good idea?

If I remember correctly The Incredibles Mondo X sold out fairly quickly without a price drop. It was region free and now goes for over $100 on ebay. This title is also region free. The Jungle Book is still in stock and dropped in price. But I think that's because it's region B locked. I find that the region B locked Mondo's stick around for a very long time.

I could be wrong.

 

[howarmat]

Zavvi clearly states this is Tom Whalen. Not sure why there is any confusion

uhm it goes for 50-60$ max.. not sure where you got that 100$ from..

 

[Flloydo]

I’m personally hoping for his Aladdin, lion king, Robin Hood, rescuers and I think there was a wall e one he did that I liked but hopefully spread about. But I’m also hoping the mondo line don’t just turn into a Disney line. Hopefully mix it up

You're right. I was looking at the listings for North America and a few are over $100 Canadian. After checking the "sold" listings I see that there are quite a few that were sold for quite low.

Hmm you've convinced me... I've now placed an order, just in case! Still a month to decide whether I want to keep it or not.

Good point. Nothing wrong with pre-ordering with the option to cancel later.

 

[paulboland]

I thought and still think so too but the Zavvi link says olly moss in the description....

Zavvi link and description for the little mermaid and the Incredibles clearly lists Tom Whalen
Zavvi link and descriptions never mentioned olly moss so I don't get how you got to think it was olly moss

Did you click the zavvi link in the Jungle Book Mondo X thread by mistake as that one is by olly moss

Same.

I don't need it but I do.

(I also bought the Juugo print, justifying it over the US Steelbook.)

Curse these lovely artworks!

The German site says Olly

 

[Stygian]

Wasn't there a post by someone (FN?) in one of the threads about meeting Tom Whalen at a comic con (New York?) and him mentioning that Disney was going to turn all of his animated Disney movie prints into Mondo X steelbooks? Perhaps explaining the missing numbers 22-28?
