Yesterday, we shared news that Storm Collectibles was revising their sculpt for their upcoming Mortal Kombat Scorpion 1/12 Scale Figure. Today they revealed a gallery, showcasing the final version. Accordign to Storm Collectibles, this is a completely new sculpt. Each figure is 100% hand painted. Scorpion stands at 7″ tall and has over 30 points of articulation. The figure will include an interchangeable skull head sculpt, two masks, six pairs of hands, a fire effect and the iconic spear.
The Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat Scorpion 1/12 Scale Figure will be available exclusively in Asian markets (excluding Japan and Korea). The figure is scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2016. No pricing has been revealed at this time. You can see the new photos by reading on.
Mortal Kombat 1/12 Scale Scorpion by Storm Collectibles
Looks pretty cool.. But there's something funky about the proportions.
$80 or less, and an announcement of Subzero, and this is MIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!
I like the Mezco figures, don't get me wrong, but they aren't the characters I grew up with. Kinda like Movie Optimus Prime is great and all, but for me, the only optimus is a cabover.
side note... Wonder why this is an Asian exclusive? I was always under the impression that Mortal Kombat wasn't particularly popular in asia.

Finally, Mortal Kombat figures in the style I've always wanted... and they're exclusive to Asia. Will definitely have to import these guys. This Scorpion looks incredible.
I guess Storm Collectibles is not very good at math, they say that this is a 1:12 scale figure but then go on to call it 7" tall. Either way you do the math that's wrong. If he is really in the 1:12 scale then making him 7" tall implies that Scorpion's height is supposed to be around 7 feet so maybe they made an error and meant to say 6". Alternatively, if the figure is 7" tall then what they really mean is closer to 1:10 in scale (though not exact) which would put Scorpion at closer to 6 feet tall which is closer to the implied height of the character.
Still though...this is a great looking figure. it says it has two different masks...wonder if the second is closer to the cloth.

The tiny skull is hilarious.
The wee tiny baby skull looks like it is for a completely different scale of action figures, but it is such a great accessory and essential to the character. It's a shame that it is so small though.
Also, remember that the game had a skull that was too large, for body scale, because they needed it to be recognizable as a skull on a dimly-lit arcade screen. Skull-face Scorpion head is the same size as face scorpion. Doesn't happen if you peel off the flesh and muscle.
Is it perfect? nah... but it's pretty damn awesome... this looks soooo much better, imho, than the $300 11" figure with all the bells & whistles.
Oh yeah. These were definitely worth tanking the Mezco line for.
Sorry but I'm still really sour about that.
This looks phenomenal! Any idea as to the pricing?
Oh yeah and welcome to the Ark.

Really? I haven't heard anything about them falling apart. The MKX Sub-Zero I have is probably one of the sturdiest figures I own.
The Jazwares MK9/Klassic figures on the other hand seemed to have left some bad impressions on people.

Jazwares had it right with the Shaolin Monks figures. Those are my favorite ones so far...but how they could've gone from that to the MK9 figures was beyond me. More articulation and less of everything else like paint apps?
The figures made by Palisades and Infinite Concepts are pretty good too. I'd love to get my hands on those World Box ones.
Oh yeah and welcome to the Ark.
I hope Storm Collectibles won't treat us like Mezco did. I was hoping for more characters from MKX but they just cancelled the line. For that I still blame Mezco, they could do different characters instead of 3 variations of each character. Actually I'm tired of Scorpion and Sub-Zero toys. Every company is making them like there aren't any other good characters.
I wish for Reptile, Ermac, Smoke, Rain, Cyrax, Sektor figures. I'd get all of them instantly. I just hope these sell well so that Storm Collectibles can make all the other characters.
