Would love to see a Glacier, Wrath and Mortis figure down the line and would buy all of them! Man, we definitely need more WCW guys! Wasn't he Goldust/Hellraiser hybrid looking through kids windows haha? That would be a cool figure to have.

I never felt the character/gimmick. And I never found him to be very talented or entertaining. You want Eye Catching then let's get Sting from the GAB or War Games (89 or 90) I forget which one but it was the same attire as the GAB but with a different red, white, blue facepaint. Or the Steiner Brothers with any of their colorful attires. Personally I would love GAB '90 and WM IX. Now those would stand out on any shelf.

You don't have to even be a wrestling fan. If they went all out and made a Glacier just like that I think anybody would want that plastic piece of badass on their shelf.

Yup. I'd buy a Glacier figure..with Mortis. Both would look amazing in mattel figure form with entrance gear... but probably would never happen.

Glacier was a horrendous worker. Wcw invested so much money and time into the character but it was doomed considering the guy couldn't work ... I thought he was a decent worker with a terrible gimmick, but I wouldn't go as far as calling him horrendous. He wasnt the greatest worker WCW had, but he was a good entertainer and I dont ever recall watching a match that he was in and during it say to myself .. "Man, this guy sucks !" The gimmick was cheesy and a direct Mortal Kombat ripoff, but so were Mortis (Reptile) amd Wrath (Shao Kahn), so to single out JUST the Glacier gimmick isn't fair, in that sense. Glacier has never, nor do I ever expect him to ever have a figure. Really, the only way that we're ever going to have a Glacier, Wrath or Mortis figure is to go out and buy those MK Figures that Warez puts out and sit them beside a TNA James Vandenburg figure and call it a day.

I thought his matches sucked then and watching them now still do. I didn't hate his stepping side kick but aside from it, I wasn't impressed by his martial arts skills. It's funny that outside of japan, no guy billed as a martial artist has ever really impressed me with their martial arts skills. I singled him out of the 3 mk inspired characters because he was the crappiest worker and was the least over. Just look at the careers of three men for evidence of how not liked he was. You can't just blame the gimmick because the other two went on to have succes albeit after a gimmick change. He was the only one with no redeeming qualities. He'd probably have never been given a contract if it weren't for his willingness to portray the glacier character.

I can think of at least 100 guys that should be made before Glacier!

Just go buy one of the Mortal Kombat Sub Zero figures. Instant Glacier figure. Amazing.

Glacier no. Mortis would be awesome. Would rather see Adam Bomb over Wrath.

Never got the whole mortal kombat video game concept that video game still sucks today no backstory nothing Glacier was the man ,,good run 1st time till they gave up on him the 2nd time he was booked too cArtoonish It was a button smashing fighting game with gruesome Fatalities. Did you not own a Sega or SNES? It's not exactly like MK was trying to disguise itself as A Link to the Past. I'm not sure how many fighting games you were playing in 1992 with backstory... Glacier is never getting a Flashback. It doesn't matter if I want one or not.

Glacier was awesome and I would absolutely buy a figure of him. Would also really like a Mortis figure. Never got the whole mortal kombat video game concept that video game still sucks today no backstory nothing If you think MK has no back story then you know nothing about the series.

I agree that Glacier would make for a very cool looking figure but I most likely wouldn't buy it. I want more '90s WCW wrestlers but he isn't one of them.
As for his adversaries, if they ever got figures I'd prefer a Positively Kanyon and Kronik Brian Clark over Mortis and Wrath.
