Combine this with QC issues, bad paint apps., sleazy business decisions, a high price point.....sorry but this is just too much for me and I'm usually one who can look past the shortcomings of figures if the source material is something I'm a fan of. The fact that nobody else can touch the property right now action figure wise thanks to them is also very infuriating.

Yeah I have to agree with this statement. You can't compare new figures to the ones from the 90s! Where was NECA in 1994? Here's an example. People say all Jazwares are bad. Well compared with a 90s figure, they look AMAZING!
Like this....
Jazwares needs to get better with there products. Hopefully they will. I guess the bottom line is, they're the only MK figures we got and they are still the best so far.

Reptile actually looks pretty good. Look, I understand you blaming the QC guys but half the Jazwares molds have ended up looking really good. And high price point? For 6 inch figures today, I think that's pretty fair. Hasbro charges 16.99 for Marvel Legends and Mattel charges 17.99 for anything 6 inches. Not to mention, if you want to compare the 3 3/4 multi packs, most Marvel Universe figures are now up to 9 dollars, with a pack of 3 costing 19.99, and 40 for 6. Then there's the fact that you can get 4 6 inch figures for 34.99 as opposed to the 30 Mattel would charge you for 2. Jazwares has a damn fair price, and have shown to have better distribution than Hasbro or Mattel lately (go find anything recent from Marvel Legends, I dare you)

How do you know that? When SOTA took over the SF line they gave us never before made characters right out of the gate. A mix of obscure, female, and popular proved to be the perfect combination. Jazwares has done known of this, and the less popular characters are already looking like shit.
Also if we are going to use dates as guideline for quality then why do the MK figures they did almost 10 years ago look better than their current efforts? It's clear the company is below standards from the execs all the way down to the sculptors.

Reptile looks awful. It looks like an old ladies face with a constipated expression. I disagree on the price as well. $15-$20 for a mediocre to shitty 6" figure that has tons of QC problems is unacceptable. I won't argue that other companies don't do this, but for every shitty Jazwares figure another company will do 3 awesome figures. I can't speak about Marvel toys, I don't own or collect any. I just can't wait for this C-grade company to lose the license so a more competent and skilled one can acquire the rights.

SOTA produced the best Street Fighter Figures ever IMO. If they get the license back, maybe MK will do the same. Until then, Jazwares has still got the license, Like them or not. I disagree about the Reptile too. He looks kinda cool.
I really like the removable mask.
Any idea as to when any of these are coming out? It's been getting harder to find the newer releases in stores, and eBay has been the one lone savior 
In fact, I just recently bought a bulk pack on eBay that had the 4 inch Raiden, Baraka, and Reptile.
So, from everything we've been seeing lately, what else should we expect?
-6 inch Reptile
-6 inch Jax
-7 (?) inch Shao Kahn
-20th Anniversary multi-figure sets (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, anyone else?)
-6 inch Liu Kang (based on sculpt)
-Kahn's Coliseum set
Wasn't there also talk of a 6 inch Sonya?

Here's a list of what's coming out:
Deluxe figures- Shao Kahn and Goro
Each figure measure 71/2 inches
X-Ray 2 Packs- Nightwolf and Kano & Liu Kang and Baraka
Battle Damaged- Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Nightwolf, Baraka, Liu Kang, and Kano
Regular 6 inch- Liu Kang, Reptile, Kano, Nightwolf, and Jax
Regular 4 inch- Liu Kang, Jax, Kano, Nightwolf, Johnny Cage
Kahn's Coliseum Set
Everything looks to be coming out this summer. Mostly between July and August. I've also heard rumors of the 4" Kahn being an Amazon Exclusive! It's just a rumor for now though.

My wallet is currently knocking back a bulk pack of vodka to prepare for the rest of the year. *sigh* Why couldn't I have waited until next year to get a mortgage? Here's a list of what's coming out:

I'm looking forward to Quan Chi and Sonya the most and also need Kabal, Kenshi, Stryker and MK9 Smoke for my collection!
Kabal always misses out for some reason, I don't get why? he's a bad ass character that would make an epic action figure
Jazwares need to stop being sexist and release Sonya Blade!

Kabal would be a badass figure! I'd like to see him in the MK9 outfit with a removable mask. And of course, the dual blades.
Some new preorders came up today. Check 'em out.
http://www.pastgenerationtoys.com/Video-Games-PreOrders/b/2687502011
This place has no pictures :( but there are details and release dates.
I believe the small scale Shao Kahn will be sold only with the throne set, which is due in November.

The best MK figures are custom made ones, you cant argue that
ya the guy that makes these is awsome he has lots more too, but the thing is the official figures dont even come close to these, I these have leather and sewn clothes but just the sculpts paint and effort destroy jazawares
If jazawares put in half the effort of this guy they could make great figs

As long as people keep settling and buying their shitty figures they have zero reason to improve their standards. The fans are the biggest detriment to this line by far.

Okay...it seems they';ve made some improvements to Jax, but Liu Kang has a terrible, TERRIBLE face. What the hell? I'm not touching that.
I've said it before: Jazwares cannot do faces anymore and should stop trying. This is a case where I wholeheartedly encourage them to just spam out masked ninjas, lady assassins, and cyborgs.
