Peter Santa Maria, Mondo's Senior Director of Collectibles, chats with us at C2E2.
Mondo has ruled the collectible landscape since its launch in 2004, honoring a number of beloved franchises with its posters, vinyl, and figures. The company's impact has only grown since they were acquired by Funko in 2022, including offering exclusive collectibles at events such as the recent Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo.
Peter Santa Maria: I mean, the idea is to be able to visit as many cities as possible over time, and we have never been here. I've attended when it was Wizard World over 20 years ago, so I knew the energy was here. I'm excited to come and meet the fans here. We have a lot of people writing us saying 'We're in Chicago, we're going to come see you guys!' So of course, any time you get to come and show stuff in-person and reveal things, it's awesome.
Let me put it this way: it's like gasoline on in an engine. We completely do our own thing and they say,"What do you need?" Obviously being able to show up at a show with Funko is awesome. They have a huge audience presence. But they never try to encroach on what we're doing. They know that we have our own thing. Hector Arce and myself are the Senior Creative Directors at Mondo. They don't tell us what to do. They say,"What are you doing? It looks awesome. Cool.
