Variations of Mondo figures seem to fall into two main groups, which we will call "Version 1" and "Version 2". There are, however, some differences even within each "version", and some differences which appear in both "versions", and these are listed under "General". There is also the occasional "oddity", which will be listed under "General" as well. The lists are fairly complete, but are subject to additions, so check back every so often to see if we've found any new ones. All the known major variations are included, but please note that some of the variations listed are not considered to be proper variations by some collectors. There are photographs of some of these variations on the Mondo Pictures page.
If you know of any major variation not listed here, please email us and tell us (and supply a photo if possible)!
Variation lists compiled by Maree Ryan and Rae Sabben, with contributions from collectors too numerous to mention (but thanks to all who did!)
