"Official Mortal Kombat Figures Thread"

Got my Kitana and Baraka McF figs from Amazon. Kitanas heels are WAYYYYY too short, and standing her is a pain in the ass. Baraka is solid though.

I’ve never been a big MK fan and mostly loved the character concepts and looks more than actually playing the games, but — I’m really digging this line, and looking forward to Shao Kahn and Liu Kang.

So far I’d have to rank em:

Spawn
Johnny Cage
Baraka
Raiden
Scorpion
Sub-Zero
Kitana

Yeah, I don’t have issues with them perse, they’re just lacking compared to the others.

Todd will always spoil his baby so Spawn doesn’t surprise me. Johnny I love how they make soft goods work with plastic.

Baraka is perfect to me other than the mouth. Would have preferred a jaw that can open and Kitanas heels REALLY kill her figure for me.

Raiden would probably be my favorite of the line, if it weren’t for the wardrobe. That’s not on McF though. If I had more interest in the IP? I’d probably vastly prefer Storm, but — these are more than good enough for me.

Personally? I’d rather get Double Dragon and Battle Toads IPs in this scale. But that’s besides the point.

Finally tracked all these down! Very happy esp with kitana

I picked up the UMK3 Sub Zero over the weekend. This is my first Storm figure and I have to say, I'm impressed. The only complaint I have is the lower mask pops off really easily. I'm thinking of just gluing it on.

I have the McFarlane Scorpion and it's really nice also. I think going forward I'm going to pick up the Storm versions of guys I really like, and the McFarlane versions of characters that aren't as important to me.

I also recently ordered the Storm cyborgs through the BlueFin bundle deal.

I got my cyborgs in yesterday. I thought Cyrax was going to be my favorite, but Sektor ended up being the best to me. Smoke is in the middle.

As I noted earlier in the year, this has a new, more generic-looking headsculpt than the original prototype (which had a likeness to actor John Turk). The bad news is that Storm is seemingly not willing to pay licensing rights to use actor likenesses. However the good news is that now they've settled on their strategy, the other previously shown prototypes (Johnny Cage, Kitana, Liu Kang, Mileena), which were almost certainly put on hold because of likeness issues, should presumably now be back on the schedule. While personally I am disappointed they aren't using actor likenesses, still the most important thing is that the figures and new characters keep coming. And hopefully we can, slowly but steadily, keep moving towards a comprehensive classic roster.

Picked up McFarlane's Baraka figure! Really nice, love the sculpt. Liked it so much I ordered Kitana, the Scorpion and Raiden 2-pack and Bloody Sub-Zero! Should be here soon. Anyone have a couple of this line next to a few NECA figures? Would love to grab Guest Characters as well!

I thought about that too! My fingers are crossed we get an actual MK11 Version since McFarlane has both lines. The DC line version is my back up plan atm 🙂.

Agreed 1000%.

It's like he's trying some backdoor method, but it doesn't work now because the characters have all developed such unique looks. A purple Sub-Zero doesn't work for Rain anymore, and the result doesn't look cool now for either.

I don't know why he hasn't done classic looks unless it's because Storm has those rights (which seems likely to me). I'd love affordable classic looks from McFarlane, though.
