Toy Fair 2012 - Mortal Kombat by Jazzwares

I really hope that other company was serious about making MK figures, because Jazfailures' offerings are rubbish.

15 points of articulation for Shao Kahn and Goro? And that's supposed to be impressive? I can find more points of articulation on toy biz figures from the '90s.

The paint apps, articulation, and quality of these figures leave much to be desired.

more like flawless failure.

Depends on if the figure is 3 3/4" or 6." Further, it depends on if these are really meant to be played-with action figures or if they're just supposed to be "look pretty on display" figures like much of Sideshow and NECAs stuff.

15 points of articulation for a 3 3/4" figure is halfway decent.

On a 6 inch figure? Not so much. Though Toy Biz is really a false comparison, because NOBODY was articulating their figures like Toy Biz back in the day.

In other words you can't hold Toy Biz up as an "industry standard" when nobody else in the industry was following it.

Anyway, Jazwares has to fix their QC before they can worry about adding more joints.

yeah the paint apps on the 4" figures I saw at retail were pathetic.

You'd REALLY think Goro would have more articulation than the average MK figure...

lol what a cheap display. Did they rush that together at the last minute?

I have seen the toys in stores and they are some of the cheapest looking toys in the isle.

If the paint apps are decent on a figure than the sculpt is horrible. If both are good the figure is actually broken in the package.

How is it that not one company can do good Mortal Kombat figures?

ok fine, im still excited for this line, but i do wish syco produces a new higher quality line...

ice sword!!! lol

Quality aside,i'll still take Jax+Goro,along with Kano they are my favourite MK characters,iv waited forever for them,worst case scenario i can use them for custom fodder for the chaos army im working on!!!

Are people really still interested in MK? I mean I feel like we haven't had a good version of the game in awhile, so why come out with new figures?

And i want Jax,Kano,and Goro.......

Anyone else notice the "DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH" sign in front of the Klassic ninja multi-pack?

And yeah, the 2011 game was fantastic. They are even releasing a game of the year edition with all of the DLC on disc. I would love to have good, quality MK action figures, but these aren't quite cutting it.

Shows what I know

On top of all the praise for the game, it's also a really deep property that IMO hasn't ever reached its full potential.

are the through the line series 6" or 3.75"?

plus im excited for a 6" shao khan and goro!!!

Last pic, off to the right, just out of frame. That's what I want to see more of...

Goro?!?!? I wanted Sheeva, d******!!!

And maybe they should cut back on all the ninja pallet swaps...

All I have are the 6" & 4" Sub-Zero figs (2011 versions) (with eyes painted white), which makes only 2 figs I own and will ever get from this line. I really would like to pick up a Sonya Blade, but Jazwares' amazing face sculpting work does not make me the least bit hopeful for a decent looking figure of her. If somehow she turns out OK, my only other requirement is either having a removable dog tag or no dog tags at all - just an odd preference I have.

In the meantime, I'll be patiently waiting for Syco's attempt.

2 reasons mortal kombat will be forever cool:

SUB ZERO!
SCORPION!

so far i have all the 4 inch figures wich look fair ok, but they could do way better if they only knew what the fans really want in these figures.

I hope Jazwares gets better. That's about all I have left to say about that.
