Whilst the video game toys I crave most are high-quality classic Mortal Kombat figures, I am still pleased to see Killer Instinct is getting some. Looking at the photos, my first thoughts were that they look pretty good, but I really wish they were based on the original 1994 arcade designs instead of the modern looks. Then I scrolled down to the comments and see this:
So I'm pretty excited about that. Never heard of the company before, but hopefully this line will be successful if nothing else other than to get Mezco to pull their heads out their asses and give us the classic MK 6" figure line video game fans have wanted for over a decade.
At EVO 2015, it was announced that Killer Instinct, the Rare created video game series made famous in the arcades, SNES and N64 days is getting an action figure line. The current generation game, which is available on Xbox One, is getting the figure treatment by a company called Ultimate Source. Thanks to forum member JohnnyWuFei and Killer Instinct Central, we have our first look at the figures. The figures announced were:
Jago
Sabrewulf
Fulgore
Spinal
Hisako
Shadow Jago
The figures will be ranged from $20 – $50. The more expensive versions will include diorama style figure bases and electronic features. No word yet on final scale or release date. The images shown are prototypes and are not final.

They did confirm at the panel that Retro figures would show up.
