I knew about the ones based on MK9-- but was still looking forward to the 'Klassic Costume' figures. Well, I saw them in person yesterday, and they truly suck monkey balls. The best part is that they look like kids toys from 1995 yet the package says 'Mature Collector's item, 17 and up' but then it also says 'not for under 3 years. Make up your fucking mind! What a joke! *pictured far left: Bruce on Halloween, lol

Well they are legally bound to say that. It has chockable items, the heads, and it's based on a Mature rated game. That's why.
Also, Official???

When I saw these I thought they were those super-bendy figures from decades past. The heads are squashed-looking and the articulation looks like utter dog shit. Even the colors are just blah bland.
I really wish NECA would have gotten this license. Jazwares have done nothing but shit on the MK franchise/license since they got the right back when MK Deception and Shaolin Monks came out.
Ed Boon and Co. need to rethink their licensing agreement with Jazwares and look at NECA's Player Select line.
I wanna buy that pack for Scorpion alone and give him a proper skull and paint apps.

Are these six-inch or 3 3/4 figures? I saw a cyborg ninja set at TRU a week or so ago and they looked pretty cool. These look like crap though....

Yeah the Cyber Ninja's weren't THIS bad. These figs are a bit taller than the Cyber Ninja's. 6 inch.

Mortal Kombat has never had any good figures They need NECA, or Sota Street Fighter quality.

I want to get the 4" Sub-Zero and Scorpion, but I don't want to pay $10 each.
That's ridiculous...

Well I tried to make it 'Ok it's now Official: All Mortal Kombat figures suck' but I ran out of room I'm happy with my custom Ninja Gaiden MK ninja's I made- I'll never buy the MK figs if they keep making them like THAT. You paying attention Ed?? MK is awesome-- give your license to a toy company that will make them shine!

Did they misspell "Smoke" on the box?
EDIT: Never mind. I see it says "Mortal Kombat Smoke" now. I only saw "MO" and assumed it said "MOKE".
Why the hell call him Mortal Kombat Smoke? A) He wasn't in MK1, and B) Why didn't they call the others Mortal Kombat Scorpion, Mortal Kombat Reptile and Mortal Kombat Sub-Zero?

Did they misspell "Smoke" on the box? Holy shit. Good catch. Not only can they not make good figures, they can't even spell. Who the hell runs that company?It says" Mortal Kombat Smoke" Like we didn't know he was from Mortal Kombat or something. And, his first appearance was MKII.

yeah I guess I posted mine right when you edited yours Unless of course his name is really 'Monkey Dick' If there's anything nice to say about this set (and that's a stretch), it would be the alternate heads for Scorpion and Reptile

So Reptile comes with an maskless ninja turtle alternate head? Looks like a shitty pencil eraser.

if you collect MK, you're a dumbass to begin with, and don't deserve better.

Mortal Kombat Smoke reminds me of Decepticon Brawl.

^It's a licensing thing, you can't use common words for names and profit from them, hence why any TF with a everyday name like Jazz, Ratchet and so on have Autobot in front of their name.

So Scorpion and Reptile aren't common words?

Not common everyday words. But that is the reasoning.

So Scorpion and Reptile aren't common words? Correct-- Zoologists call this a 'Non Mortal Kombat Scorpion'

It's pretty stupid, but does make sense, how often do you say the word Reptile or Scorpion?

It's pretty stupid, but does make sense, how often do you say the word Reptile or Scorpion? Quite often in my world. I have a scorpion tattoo, play the hell out of MK 360, used to raise Emperor scorpions for a hobby, and I can't stop bitching about this set without saying Scorpion. ;D Now, the wife and I use the word reptile a lot since she raises Leopard Geckos and one of her favorite MK characters is Reptile. Not to mention we quote the movie Over The Hedge for the in-movie joke about reptiles.
