Well, you can't say NetherRealm Studios never do anything for you! The maker of Mortal Kombat has delivered another little "treat" ahead of the April 19 US release, showcasing three officially endorsed and amply proportioned models who have graced the grounds of their European demo events.

Dressed as Kitana, Mileena and Sonya Blade respectively, the trio of carefully "kast" models have done a disturbingly effective service to bring to life MK's iconic women in their current forms. It may not silence critics about the design sensibility of the series, but it certainly represents it well.

These formidable femme fatales will make a return appearance at the final round of the official European tournament stage, April 17 at the Birmingham NEC Centre, UK. The tournament is the culmination of events held across Europe, with winners from Belgium, Italy, Holland, and the United Kingdom advancing to the final stage.
