There are definitely new-style Mordles in the pipeline. I don't want to invoke "the future" too much until you guys see what the first line-up is.
"Ripsaw" has some friends you'll be meeting over the next few weeks.



If sales permit, I will do unpainted ones and pass along as much of a cost break that it allows so you can customize them (or use them in story however you want).



Ha! I hadn't thought about this. MUSCLES pink like OMFG has? Or more of a flesh color?
Something I can definitely do if people respond well.

muscle color Flesh unpainted would be my favorite style

Nice! I'm not a collector of Mordles per-say but I have one Rocks, Bugs & Things Trapasaur from my childhood who lost his Mordle long ago and have been having a hard time finding a replacement. I'll definitely be following the progress on here! :)

Agreed. And if so, it should be the green version from the Terrorantula boxart.

Did I miss any discussion on price idea yet? I hope its reasonable and I get to play too. I'm excited that extra Mordles will leave some room for customs. Nobody including myself was willing to paint the vintage ones.

Nice! Good to see the one on the far right. I have found he is one of the most difficult to find. There is another that is squatty, rotund and grimacing like Ripsaw which is equally rare. I believe they came with Wicked Cricket and Rockadile. Though, I am not sure which one was associated with which. Those 2 are my limiting figures for complete sets. So it will be awesome for all of us to indulge even in the hard to find sculpts! These protos look top notch!!!

The one that came with Rockadile is on eBay right now, but the seller is looking for $80 or best offer.

Hello!
No discussion of price yet - I was thinking that since the vintage Mordles go for so much, people would be good with...$300 per set!
(crickets)
Kidding! :smilie2:
The prices have not yet been set. Still some factors at play in the machinery of things that determine the final price - but I'm targeting "reasonable" as the pricepoint.

Just to give a little more about Club Mordle - since it's genesis was feedback from here - I'm not trying to make it a club with exclusives and all the other nonsense that winds up aggravating people. The function of it is to guarantee the members of the club the product that I release without needing to participate in drops and such.

Hoping to show you guys the first colorway later this week!

I don't think many people are willing to pay a crazy amount for them. There are two mordles on eBay right now, and the seller is asking for $80 each (although I see they've added a BO option now). They're still sitting there. While I would love originals to only be $10, the cheapest I've gotten one for in this past year is $15. $30 was the most I paid for one. The rest were somewhere in between.

Like just about everything that's hard to find, I feel like eBay greed is driving up the price. I've never found a mordle at a toy convention or flea market yet, so I, and probably many other collectors, have no other option but eBay.

Rockin'. I hate having to plan business trip flights around toy drops... not that I've, uh, done that.

Will there cards so we can be card-carrying members of Club Mordle? :) I'm glad Mordles are armless, I won't have to worry about the secret handshake.

I am really impressed with how this line has been shaping up. Listening to fans and adding a club option so drops don't stop anyone from getting all the colors is a pretty cool move. Listening to our opinions on colors is awesome as well. Giving us fans what we want is a really rare thing with factory produced toys. I've seen it with stuff like UofV of course and Hustle releases but this is the first time i've seen someone with factory capability so open to other peoples suggestions.

I can honestly say if these released and you hadn't posted here i would have grabbed one or maybe two colors at the most but with how you're handling the line and treating us i will be a club member for sure.

Yeah, the prices have been out of hand for quite some time now. I was fortunate enough to amass most of my collection years ago. When I decided to get out of it, I was paying $10/single mordle. That was it for me. But on the other hand, they have been a great investment! The market is seeing them go for double or triple that with immediate sales at that price. Not that I condone that. It's just observation. I come across them very rarely at decent prices and they are almost always lost in a jumble with other random toys. I have, however, acquired some really cool customs within the last couple years. JCal did some awesome thermal responding color changing (Hypercolor) and neon varieties which were very good quality. So it is glacier speed for anyone collecting mordles.
Club Mordle sounds stupendous. I am all for the inclusiveness, variety, and future inspirations that it could theoretically bring about.

UPDATE!
Here is a pic of production GREEN Mordle "ripsaw" and the first reveal of production yellow! It's a different shade of yellow than the originals - the original 'mindripper' Mordle is shown for a comparison. The blue one in the pic is also an original who snuck into the pic.
Final versions will have paint on them - hoping to have a test to show you very soon!

More details to come, and the full details on Club Mordle!

Thanks for sharing! :D They look great! A couple of more questions... because why not...

I never had an original Mordle. How do these feel compared to the originals? Were the originals rubbery? Are these new ones made of a plastic similar to, say, OMFG/Glyos or a more rubbery SLUG Zombie kind of thing?

Where are the names coming from, and what are they? I was looking around for more references to "Ripsaw" and "Mindripper" and they all lead back to these forums. Does each style have a name at this stage?
