They all look so amazing! I just wish I had the money and the space for all of them, and since they're still announcing new statues, I have yet to decide which ones I want to buy no matter what (except for Rain and Mileena, and now Skarlet). If only Jazwares showed such passion and dedication to MKsad.

Are the stautes of the girls strong enough to be cleaned or wiped off after intense admiration?

I'd definately prefer Mileena without her sais.
She looks like she's prancing about maniacally which looks much better than posing with sais.

Still waiting for that Sonya!

It's beautiful to see Mileena with hips. She's stunning looking with that female physique, her body shape is much nicer in the statue than it is in the game.

As for Jade? She's a statue, and a female, and a fictional one at that. I'm a gay male and I'd still do her. She's beyond flawless, she's impeccable and stunning looking in that (and it's unfinished!). Her green tones on her leotard are a bit too bright, but I'm sure that and her skin tone will improve. Loving Ermac and Liu Kang too. The only one I'm not fussed on is Kitana, but you can see they're clearly improving with each mould. Dying to see Skarlet's statue :)

Forgot to mention Mileena is looking amazing.
If Skarlet is in this pose:

I will end up buying the entire Ninjette Quartet
(what is this- Sailor Moon?!)

QUESTION: Hey, queve and/ or T-C...
I'm going to be buying the Rain statue no matter what,
but he has a *lot* of potential poses,
and I'm highly curious as to which angle they are pursuing.

They can go with the original render pose:

(this could actually be quite cool if the Hydroblade were emanating from his clenched fist)

Or the Fatality Wallpaper pose (as seen in my sig):


Or his now iconic winpose:


Or him using his Hydroblade:


Or him lifting his arm to summon a bolt:

(though I admit, this does step on Raiden's toes)

Or him doing his new Geyser Kick move:
(image unavailable, but it would show off his Watery powers quite well)

Or him in the middle of his most iconic move:

(note: an animated .jpg, WTF?! how long have these been possible?)

I would *love* to see some watery effects involved,
be it the Roundhouse, Hydroblade, Geyser Kick,
or sticking it into one of the more passive poses
(IE- watery hands in the first two renders)

Sorry for the graphic novella.
I've been thinking about this a *while* now,
ever since his name was mentioned as a possibility.

I wasn't sure whether I should post this here,
in my old Rain thread, or in a new thread.
If we have any input at all,
it would be nice to get a bit of a consensus on the pose.

Thanks for reading this!

Touching upon on that, I feel that his royal status should be emphazised more than his moveset.

Sitting upon a throne is something I'd be quite interested in rather than another render/move-set integrated statue all other projects seem to be protrayed in.

I'd personally love his win pose as a statue. That would be the SHIZZLE.

Interesting... I've definitely seen you use that pic,
but I had no idea you made it- AWESOME job, J-R!
I suspect it's still technically a .gif that has been renamed as a .jpg,
but I can't test that from here.

It's pretty funny/awesome how many MKO images came up in my search,
including my sig (and yours as well, J-R).

I might get the Jade one too, looks great! I do hope they darken her skin to match how she looks in the game tho.

Kitana, Mileena and Ermac are looking nice!

Liu Kang's head looks a bit big for his body and he is also lacking some neck...I think they could tweak this one a bit more...

Too bad these were not action figures, then I'd def want them. Too expensive for just 10" statues. These should not cost close to what a 12" Hot Toys figure costs.

And they don't-
the two Hot Toys 12 inchers I have (Chris Redfield and Iron Man)
each cost over $200. These cost about $100.

Besides, the process of mass-producing a resin statue
is *completely* different from, and more expensive than,
the process of mass producing a plastic and rubber figure.

Each one of these statues has to be entirely hand-painted.

To be honest, I'd like to see Rain with his win pose or render pose, but preferably his win pose.

Fantastic article, Tyrant! Excellent job!

The new statues are incredible. So impressed with Jade, Mileena and Ermac.

The new edits in Kitana are perfect, though, I honestly liked her previous face much better. However, this seems to be the one the majority approves of. So, yay for the fans!

I agree with JAX that Liu's head is a bit too big for his body. That's the only little weird thing I see with his statue.

Syco Collectibles is really pushing themselves to make the best MK figures we've ever seen. And they are constantly keeping in touch with the fans and their costumers to make sure they please everyone. They are awesome with costumer service, criticism, and feedback.

It's hard not to love them and its even harder not to love their statues.

Will address some other posts in this thread asap:

Will definitely take it to Syco, speak with them, and ask them. Like I said, they are awesome with feedback, so, you should definitely visit their facebook, twitter, or official site and send them your comments. Trust me, they really do read everything. wink

Will get back to the rest of you guys asap.

Once again, fantastic article, Tyrant! That was really an awesome read. Lets talk soon.

I am disappointed that jade isn't the right color....I also feel this was a detail they should have KNOWN for the level of detail they are trying to go for and the price they are asking...

If they get the color right i might buy it..but not until then

I can vouch for that.

I remember posting on their wall asking whether they had plans for a Sonya's Alternate Statue and got a reply fairly quickly.

I was a little shocked at the level they attend to feedback.

Could it be that Liu's head only appears "too big" because his mouth is wide open?

Plus that "skirt" makes his legs seem shorter and thus "helps" the head to seem bigger in comparison to the rest of the body.
