NECA would have made kick ass figures from the start.

So they claim they are doing these figures for the fans yet the sculpt quality and price point still caters to a younger audience...

Saw on the trmk boards that Pop culture Shock got the licence for some MK sculpts in september for those looking for so high quality collectibles, really expensive tho; 300+$. http://www.trmk.org/forums/showthread.php/19181-MK9-Scorpion-Statue-first-pic!

Damn, i still have hope for the MK2 4 inch line...Even though they're also going to be beyond overpriced & most likely lacking in quality.
I hope Warner Brothers ends up licensing the rights to Hot Toys or Sideshow... Some 12 inch ninjas would be amazing.

As I said in another thread, I really think they shouldn't limit themselves to just ninjas when it comes to the whole retro costumes thing. I particularly want an old fashioned Shao Kahn. I've wanted a Kahn figure forever but like hell am I ever gonna own one in the MK9 costume.

On the subject of ninjas, a Noob Saibot figure would be nice though. I own the one from Deception but his colors were all wrong in that game and in that line. The MK9 one with the proper black skin and the cool hood and everything would be sweet.

i think im gonna skip these.....too bulky, stupid faces terribly ugly compared to the McFarlane Toysand and maxfactoryguyver action figures. they even fail for kid figures.

Redirected topic from another interesting thread that is related:



I'd definitely love to see some of those!

* Cyrax: Net and bombs and Helicopter head.
* Sektor: Misseles and MK3 grab mechanical thingy on his back.
* Sonya: Hat, glasses, gun, and a Kiss of Death mist thing.
* Sindel: Crazy hair, fire balls, whip (hehehe).
* Kitana: Removable mask, long pony tail, steel fans.

more later.





I feel you. I too want Official MK figures of the characters that never really seem to get any chance in the spotlight.

I'm pretty damn tired of the fucking ninjas being shoved down our throats in everything. We already got more than ENOUGH figures featuring Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Move the fuck on with some of the other great (and greater) characters already!

About damn time they threw us a few odd balls to enjoy such as:

* Motaro
* Sindel
* Stryker
* Mileena
* Kabal
* Sheeva
* Nightwolf
* Jade
* Jax
* Kitana
* Shang Tsung
* Shao Kahn
* Quan Chi

Seriously.

I'm super glad Sonya's been confirmed and decided to be part of the project (specially considering the serious lack of females), but, I'll still bitch about all those others who deserve their shot.



That is absolutely amazing.

A shame is yet another fucking Scorpion. As beautiful as that looks, I rather not waste my money on yet another Scorpion figure. I already have the new KE statue bookends (among other action figures). I rather save that money for a Goro statue on e-bay or a more interesting rare MK character statue/sculpt.

Here's the 4-inch classics:

The Cyborgs look cool. Reptile and Ermac look a bit awkward though imho.

For anyone that cares, BigBadToyStore has the 6" Raiden, Subby and Scorps in stock. I just placed and order for all 3.

Just got this e-mail:

BBTS - MK9 4" Figure Series 01 - Raiden Cancelled
Hi - Our supplier has just informed us that this item has been cancelled, and as a result they will not be able to fill our orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have cancelled all preorders and removed the item from our site.

Thanks

Dammit! what happened to my Raiden?

Whaaa!!!! I don't really care about Raiden but I hope my Scorps and Subby arn't cancelled! I already sent my MO to BBTS!

Oh no!!!

I hope this doesn't mean bad news for MK series/wave 2!

I WANT MY SONYA!!!!

My friend is a manager at Toys R Us and he said there are no signs of Raiden, Scorpion or Sub-Zero being cancled. He said the only one that was ever cancled was Johnny Cage, and he was only delayed until august. So you've got nothin to worry about. BTW, rigo responded to one of your tweets.

Awesome!

1) That means they heard our complaints and they will (hopefully) fix that stupid and seriously ugly looking Johnny (monkey) Cage.

2) Thanks for the heads up on Twitter! Rigo was not helpful. But, at leats he read my posts and (hopefully) saw the links.

4" Raiden cancelled? Didn't know they were even making one. Watch series 2 be Scorpion and Sub-Zero in alternate costumes ;)

I want the alts but later on ya know?so that would kinda suck CAN'T #$%^@!% WAIT TO SEE SONYA!And Queve your ideas for figures is awesome (when you replied me)^

And yea I did hear about 4 inch Raiden I heard he will be replaced with Jax but that's not official.that I know of.

Seriously?

Where did you hear that? i'd totally buy a new Jax figure! (as long as he doesn't look as ugly and stupid as the new ones we've seen).

Oops I misread, he said 4" Raiden. I didn't even know 4" Raiden was being made. Anyways that's good news to know at least the 6" one wasn't cancelled and even better news, my figures shipped from BBTS today

While it would be great if they fixed Johnny's head sculpt, I'm gonna be pissed at the same time too cause they didn't fix the unfinished wraps under Scorpions arms.

A guy said it on FB from BBTS.Oh and the 6 inch ones are out now they hit TRU next week according to jazwares on face book and they are now available on websites.This one guy on there said they look 10x better than the protos.I ordered them an Amazon as soon as I get them ill PM you and tell you if they are really as good as he said

I've actually heard of people already finding the 6" figures at TRU and FYE last week so they're in-stores already in some areas.

Awesome :) ill check it out but ill rely on Amazon to get them since I just ordered them fresh in stock today.

Delays/Cancellations for Raiden and Cage?

Excellent news. Like Queve said, it seems they are listening. That's amazing, and great of them to do so if true.

Said it before, said it again; their MKD/MKSM figure weren't perfect, but they were way beyond these. I hope the time is put in to make them right.
