Shao Kahn is only going to be a bust? Why? VERY disappointed over this news. Everything else looks awesome so far, but that Shao Kahn news just seriously zapped the piss out of my excitement.


i wouldn't get upset just yet. They are to be releasing certain characters in both Busts and Statues. wink


Shao Kahn is one of the biggest characters in MK, but he never gets the royal treatment. I hope we'll see a Kahn 10" with a interchangeable unmasked head or removable helmet. I'm not giving my hopes up.

Really excited to see the complete line, I'll take a Stryker, Rain, Sonya, Johnny Cage, Mileena or Sheeva, though I'll be honest, some others would be great to have.

Wow, what do they think we're made of.....? Can you say...greedy bastards? Those are not worth what they are asking for. Lots of work and time, but, not worth the price. More like $20-$30 at the most. furious

Seriously...? I mean granted they're quite expensive, but you're just being harsh and rude about it and that's not called for at all,

On topic, I dunno if I'm even getting a Stryker one and he's my guy, I just don' t have the money, maybe enough for one though.

These are quality is the big thing. Sure the price is steep, but would you really rather pay less for something not as good? I think the crowd these figures and the like are marketed at look for quality first; not how cheap they are. Sort of defeats the purpose of collecting them.

I beg to differ.

It's my favorite look for her. I think her MK9 looks and MK2 looks are her worst.

Sculpts look amazing so far; might be getting a few.

I prefer when they base the poses for the sculpts from something in the game rather than replicate the official character renders tho;. Kinda like they did with Scorpion.

I'll probably end up getting a few of these as they're released. I might save up for the Scorpion and Sub-Zero busts because they look to be in such limited amounts. Certainly looking forward to seeing busts of the Cybers, Smoke, Jade, Noob, Sheeva and such.

My sentiments exactly!

You guys also have to take into consideration the 20% discount they are providing all of us at MK Online. It's very generous and it's a lifetime thing, which will span across every single MK product they release.

It isn't a collectors item if it's dirt cheap and poorly made. They are made from polystone afterall! wink

It's nice that they are giving us a 20% discount on here, but, what if people don't have a credit card? Will these collectibles be delivered world-wide? The most prominent store that would sell these is Toys R Us, where I live.

I'm pretty sure this is an "online" type of thing.

Just ask your parents or a friend to use their money-card.

You'd be lucky to get a mini bust for that price ;)
Also,don't agree with the person who said MK2 and MK9 are Kitana's worst look. I rather love the MK2 look. I would buy a MK2 Kitana or Mileena for sure.
Most other companies charge nearly $300 for a good statue. These have accessories and LED lights. So don't complain.
If they make Shao Kahn with a removable helm
et or interchangeable head and red LED eyes I'm gonna be happy as hell.

They take cheques, debit cards and credit cards which are all done through Paypal.

They deliver worldwide directly from their website. They will also be distributing to retailers worldwide too at a later date. Best place is to purchase from them directly considering our exclusive discount! ;)

Great interview!

Their answers to those inquisitive questions were really wonderful and satisfying. Tons of info and details.

I'm really happy about Sycos' attention to detail and their high interest in the fans' opinions and suggestions. They really do care about what we have to say and about being loyal to the overall presentation of the MK franchise.

Everything is looking very promising and they are exceeding our expectations.

The statues might be expensive, but, they are absolutely worth the price. I'm among those who wishes they were more affordable, though, for I too would love to collect them all.

Greedy bastards?....$20-$50 at the most?

Don't be ridiculous.

Your insult was uncalled for. I actually agree that the statues are, indeed, quite expensive, but, you are definitely paying for a high quality and beautiful product. It's not like you are paying for mediocre quality products and unfaithful sculpts. These are pretty much flawless in every angle and corner.

Anyway, I'm very excited to see this one coming to life:



And I can't wait for Sindel. I hear her statue is going to have an EPIC pose and design!

I disagree with Genya as well. Kitana's MKDA costumes are easily her best looks in MK.

MK9 and MKvsDC are (even more easily) her worst.

I sure hope they release a Kano/Sonya set. They're my favorites!


Dioramas based on rivalries and Tag-teams are a definite high possibility, according to them. I'd love a Kano and Sonya set as well.

Anyways hope they manage to reduce the prices otherwise it wont be very accessible to average mortal kombat fan.


MKO's Exclusive discount really does help in the purchase of their statues.

drpvfx Wrote:
Why on Earth would they make a Nitara statue?! confused

(not a swipe at the character- I just thought this was MK9 only)


Because it is highly possible. And before our interview, we didn't really know for certain what the "Klassic MK" covered.

Who knows, we might be pleasently surprised.

Oooh, ooh, I am!

I can't wait to see Kitana!
And I'm glad they're releasing these in waves,
so I can save up more money in between statues wink

Gotta have Kitana and Rain.
Jade, Ermac, Stryker, Quan Chi and Skarlet are also a strong "do want" smile
