I hope DC Collectibles gets the license. Yes! Same style as their current batch of stuff. Would love.

I got Jazwares Liu Kang, because he was the cheapest, because he's the worst since their awful 6" MK1 ninjas. He's fine from the neck down but the face sculpt isn't even close, he looks more like the "freakin' out man" guy from Super Troopers lol. It would probably win worst figure of 2013, but I knew that going in and thought I could make it work like the other ugly figures if displayed cool. And it kinda does, but even at shelf distance that face is pretty cringeworthy. But with all the MK X hype, I felt like adding something to the shelf.

razkazz, in your opinion, what is the best Shao Kahn figure that has ever been released?
Been interested in picking one up for a long time but thought I'd run it by you since you seem to know what's up.

I appreciate that NVT! But umm, there hasn't been a really perfect one made. The Jazwares 6" one has a lopsided face and inexplicably black nipples, but it's pretty much the best you'll find; I still plan on getting one. There is the 3.75" set of his arena, which could make a cool display piece, it comes with his throne, the pillars with chains to stick other characters to, and a tiny G.I. Joe-sized Shao Kahn. The surrounding base pieces might make the figure itself look less goofy.
If you're a true pimp, there's a kickass statue of his MK9 look made by Pop Culture Shock, and a 1:2 scale bust made by Syco Collectibles. They look incredible but are hundreds of bucks a piece ofcourse.
Good luck man, lemme know what you decide!

Thanks for the response.
Yeah, that Jazwares 6" figure seems to be the only way to go unless you are willing to drop some serious cash. It's a decent looking figure for the price.

Not such a fan of those designs, but the figures look good in and of themselves.

My thoughts exactly. I expected to be really excited by these, and the quality's clearly an improvement over Jazwares, but I find the costumes much more boring than MK9's.

Those are pretty weak imo. Maybe it's the MKX designs.

I hope the 4" Raiden comes with those extra bits. I missed out on the MK9 Raiden so I wouldn't mind getting this one.

Mezco's work on MK9's designs and I'd buy a bunch. Still not digging this stuff.

Yeah I ordered the MKX Sub-Zero yesterday. I've heard nothing but good things and the 4 inch versions aren't coming until next year for some reason that makes no sense to me. May get the 6 inch Kitana to go with him when she gets released. I don't even wanna think about how long it's going to take the inch versions of series 2 to be released.

Hope it does well. They really need to expand this line. Apparently they have the rights to every character from every game.

That's awesome. I hope they make more characters than what MK9 had. Just wish the smaller figures weren't delayed so long.

Okay time to change the title because this guy is fucking awesome. My only complaint is he doesn't come with an ice ball even though his hand has a little hole for one to plug into. I've pretty much been done with 6 inch figures for a while now but I'm definitely getting Kitana when she comes out to go with him.

Looks great and nicely articulated. I bet I'll want to get into this line once I finally get around to playing the game. **Also, thread title updated.

Ha noticed the title change. They're definitely a step up from the MK9 figures and I actually liked those.

I passed that one up at Marshall's for like $5 back in the day because it looked too crappy. (then proceeded to buy the 6" derp face Liu Kang for $20, so the joke's still on me).

Nice. His weapons are too small anyway.
I gave mine to the 4 inch MK9 Sub-Zero and they work perfectly.

Damn you ain't kidding. That thing is giant. I gave Subz a Predator trophy so he could do his oh so awesome classic fatality.
