First the positive - Cyrax looks amazing. Can't wait to get that. We've already seen prototypes of Sektor and Cyber Smoke, but I wonder if they'll do a Cyber Sub-Zero down the line too? Personally I'm all for maximizing use of the mold and profits from it, even if Cyber Sub-Zero never actually appeared in MK3. I'm also still hoping they might use the MK1/MK2 ninja mold a few more times to do Tremor, Chameleon, an "invisible" Reptile (cast in clear plastic), and I'd even take Oniro (the white ninja) who was the Lin Kuei Grandmaster in the cartoon for those who don't know. I do agree with those who say we need more characters than just ninjas, but at the end of the day when the mold is already made, it makes sense to get as much use and profit as possible from it, profits that can be used towards the costs of tooling more characters.

Now to the negatives - MK3 Scorpion definetely has a few problems. The front of his costume is inaccurate - the opening should be wider and should not be pointed at the bottom, the yellow squares should have more depth in the sculpt (they're supposed to be padded/raised, not flat), and there is NOT supposed to be a yellow line between the pads and the opening either. Also the standard mask is too big, the shape isn't quite right, and it's too glossy. The eyebrows of the face seem a bit exaggerated/cartoony too. Storm never seems to respond to fan messages or emails, and this is apparently getting an early release at SDCC, so almost certainly these inaccuracies will NOT be fixed. Very disappointing, particularly since they will no doubt be using this mold to make many other MK3 style ninjas in future. This is the first time I've felt Storm has dropped the ball with their MK line, hopefully they will improve the mold before the next MK3 ninja, or at least will not be so careless again in maintaining accuracy to the reference material.

here's some more photoshop mockups I did of how Cyber Sub-Zero, Chameleon and Khameleon could look:

I bought a Mezco MKX Bloody Kitana figure at a comic book store for $20.99 + tax

That Cyber Sub-Zero would work as a con exclusive for sure. I know it's not "classic" but I'd still grab it for sure.

Any knowledge of releases beyond Sub and Scorpion? Thinking about getting into this line? (Missed the boat on Storm).

I am also interested in getting into Mortal Kombat. I missed out on Jazwares and Mezco and Storm Collectibles is out of my budget.

Haha. While I don't play her in the game, I'm up for adding anyone to the figure collection.

Picked up McFarlane Scorpion last night. Another really nice figure for the price, although I think I still like Sub-Zero more overall. Still a fun one to get, and he looks good with other MK figures.
