Jazwares Mortal Kombat 2011 Update
Jazwares Mortal Kombat 4in Sektor
pics of scorpion are up over at TNI !
i like they fact that they addressed the ninja's mask as not their fault, but the licenser's. i've got a sneaking suspicion that there was a teeny bit of grumbling on the interweb. it's a true statement though alot of the time alot of awesome looking stuff gets put aside for the less awesome. the articulation list looks promising though
Y'know I've been pretty much hating on these figures in the all the previous news updates Toyark has released so far since their official carded pics. But I found the 6 inch Sub-Zero today and readily picked him up.
And I just realized with him actually in my hands, the ONLY thing that I could hate about it are the horrid eyes, the rest is what you'd expect in a good action figure. Buuuut I can't say the same about the others though - so I won't take back much of what I've said about this line. I saw Scorpion also and I just went "eww" no way in heck am I pickin' that up....
I painted my Subby's eyes in with Matte White Tamiya paint after rubbing them out a little with Gundam Marker Remover (basically Acetone - I think - in a pen), and I got pretty decent results - he looks much cooler!!! (don't really care if it's game accurate or not, I always prefer Sub with completely white eyes anyway)

About the plastic (forgive me, I'm no expert), to me it's pretty sturdy and hard all around (for example, much harder than say, perhaps a DCUC figure? And more on par with a NECA figure, y'know the ones that think they're action figures, but are more like hybrid statue-figures) with soft plastic used only for his sash/loincloth area and for his ice blade.

This is how WB and the game creators thought it should look.

Jazwares Mortal Kombat 2011 Scorpion
dont really care about the 6 inch, only interested in the 4 inch ones so I can place them next to my joes and jazzwares SF line that is soon coming as well
I want Johnny Cage!!!
so.... which one is coming? the 4 inch figs or the 6 inch figs?
Huh. I actually like the packaging. I'm still going to wait until I see one in the store before I decide on whether to buy any.
They're out and they're garbage..
Yeah they don't look very good at all. Kind of disappointing. I gave a big frown when I originally heard this was all going to be Jazwares. Seems I was right.
I'll buy one or 2 to check out(Sub Zero and Scorpion), I bought the Shaolin Monks versions of those 2, and plastic quality aside(little soft and loose), both were cool, and that was 5+ years ago.
I had the "I'm buying at least one of these regardless of how nice they are because it's MK!" attitude until I saw one.
I'd say these would be cool for $10. Maybe you guys will like them better than I do, but I was a little disappointed by them. They just look cheap to me.
I had high hopes for these guys, but aside from Sektor and Cyrax, they just don't look appealing to me at all. The Scorpion and Subzero look like oafs and the joints look just don't look promising.
I will buy all of the 3 3/4" figures. I love that they are in scale with Joes.
Has anyone here picked these up yet and maybe reviewed them?
Overall do you enjoy them? Worth the buy?
Ive goteen sub-zero and I do love him. All the joints were surprisingly tight. I think the balljoint elbows and balljoint knees should have ben pins myself but he is decent. He is just a 1/4 inch shorter than the average DCUC figure. A shame really. These figures would be awesome at 10 bucks a pop. But i paid a lil bit over 16 after tax. A couple extra accessories wouldve made the price more bearable. Figures like raiden with no accessories is really gonna be hard to swallow. Though ive gotten the sdcc vewrsion for 21.67 of tru.com.
I was hoping for more of a gimmick with these. They should have Fatality variants.
