Second time's a charm for the first lady of fights, Lt. Sonya Blade arriving for duty in casual attire when the Syco Collectibles 18" Premium statue ships at the end of the year (December).

Limited to approximately 250 pieces, the Premium statue is modelled on alternate costumes from the most recent game. The 18" Sonya comes with a limited extras, The Big Bad Toy Store offering exclusive removeable gun [see more], on top of standard offerings of removeable sunglasses, fabric clothing, and resin Kiss of Death compound.

Close inspection of the disrupted city street underfoot also reveals the added detail of Sonya's victim -- the evident cybernetic remains of her Black Dragon arch-nemesis, Kano. The scene-setting base also has two fire hydrants at close proximity, which could be considered a bonus in fire prone areas, to be sure.

The first 100 pre-orders will also receive full scale, metallic Outer World Investigation Agency dog tags [below].

Identification information impressed upon the dogtags is guaranteed authentic OIA issue, provided by NetherRealm Studios to reflect official in-game record. Additional: In a Facebook update, Syco revealed only twenty-five dog tags remain.

As noted, this is the second Sonya Blade statue from the company. A standard 10" version features Sonya's default design from the latest game, with interchangeable arms and dynamic kick pose [full preview]. Syco Collectibles have also recently released new images of their limited Shadow Clone Noob Saibot variant statue, as featured on Mortal Kombat Online [full story].
