Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat Scorpion – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on August 25, 2017 at 9:58 am by Joe Moore under Random Photo Shoot, Video Game Toy News

Yesterday I reviewed the excellent Mortal Kombat – Sub-Zero 1/12 Scale Figure by Storm Collectibles. The figure was a great kick off to the new Mortal Kombat line by Storm. With a great sculpt and top notch articulation, I felt it was a must own figure for fans of the game series. Today I continue our reviews with a look at Sub-Zero’s arch-enemy; the Netherrealm demon known as Scorpion. Much like the early games in the franchise, Scorpion shares the same sculpt as Sub-Zero, but includes his own set of unique accessories. I picked up the figure courtesy of Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth. Read on for my thoughts on the figure as well as a full gallery.

Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat Scorpion 1/12 Scale Action Figure

Pros

  • Excellent sculpt
  • Great articulation and range of motion
  • Strong joints allow for dynamic posing with no stand needed
  • Fatality effects pieces and spears among the great accessories here
  • Interchangeable MK1 and MK2 masks
  • Skull head sculpt even has an articulated jaw

Cons

  • Hands do tend to pop off a little too easily

Overall
Scorpion uses the same collector friendly packaging style as Sub-Zero. the only differences is the artwork, photos and bio have, obviously, been replaced with Scorpion themed items. Included along side the figure are multiple interchangeable hands, swappable MK1 and MK2 masks, an interchangeable skull head sculpt, a thrown spear, a relaxed spear, and fatality flame effects pieces.

Since this uses the same overall sculpt as Sub-Zero, check out that review for a more detailed breakdown of the figure itself. the short version is that the sculpt, paint work and articulation are all excellent here. Scorpion does suffer from the same issue with his hands easily popping off a little too easily. What sets this figure apart from Sub-Zero are the numerous accessories included, all perfectly themed for Scorpion. The two included spear effects work really well. the thrown spear simply attaches below the palm, at the connection point to the wrist. It’s sturdy enough, and light enough, to stay perfectly straight with Scorpion’s arm outstretched. The relaxed spear fits nicely in one of the many interchangeable hands included with the figure. The best pieces included, much like sub-Zero, are the fatality parts. For Scorpion’s fatality, the figure includes an interchangeable Skull head sculpt (complete with articulated jaw), and two flame effects pieces. It works well and looks great. If you have access to it (I did not), combine it with the new Flame Effects piece from Tamashii Nations for a full fatality display. One last added bonus is that you can use the bloody skull from Sub-Zero’s spine rip fatality as an extra head sculpt.

After messing with both figures, I can honestly say that both are absolute must owns for Mortal Kombat fans. I had a blast creating fight scenes across both photo shoots and the figures offer plenty of display options. Scorpion combines a strong base figure with excellent accessories for a great overall figure. Check out some highlight photos below and the full gallery after that.

    That is an awesome Scorpion and a great shoot!!! I'm guessing is a bit taller than the Mezco MKX one? How does he stack up height-wise to other import figures???

    Yes, taller than the Mezco ones. Almost 7" tall, so taller than Marvel Legends or SH Figuarts.

    That is super helpful, thank you so very much! I'm definitely getting this Scorpion... Ryu and Heihachi later on since they're my favorite game fighters ever (and they're all from Storm).

    I cannot wait for the Tekken figures. Loving the renaissance of fighting game figures we're getting.

    Scales great with diamond select 1/12 figures and D.C. Direct.

    Awesome pics! These are so cool! I have Reptile and Shao Kahn preordered (gifts from others) but I may need to shell out some money for Scorpion. That skull head sculpt is so badass!

    Thanks! Shao Kahn is going to be the tipping point for a lot of people I think. It'll be a hard figure to resist.

    After the joke that was the Jazzware Kahn, I know the latest preview pics of Storm's Kahn got me to fully invest it the line. That Kahn looks amazing

    i keep looking at this line and trying to resist...ha..
    i mean i KNOW i'm getting shao kahn..
    i dont really want 4 ninjas all painted diff colors...maybe i'll grab one or two of em..
    i just can't justify yet ANOTHER line....expensive at that.
    but some of the poses i;ve seen them in are sick..

    He's my favorite MK character, so that was an easy sale. You're right though, I have invested in every MK line only to be disappointed with lack luster lineups or more modern characters and designs. I usually end up selling them, especially Jazwares.

    Yeah Jazwares was crap, I kind of liked the smaller version. I can't wait for this one, I hope it makes it in time for Christmas.

    These MK figures are legit, I have Scorpion and SZ already and Noob just shipped from BBTS. I hope we start to see more shown from Tekken. Been hoping and praying for quality Tekken figures in a 1/12 scale for so long...Storm Collectibles appears to be the answer!

    I just got my Noob yesterday and he doesn't disappoint! The blood effects are a nice addition with him. Now I'm just waiting on getting this KO fire effect (hoping it's a decent quality since the original Tamashii one goes for way too much now) considering getting the Tamashii blue wave effect for Sub Zero to maybe enhance how his ice slide pose looks. The one knock for that figure is his ice slide effect is very...small.

    Tried Barnes and nobles for the fire effect? My local BN always have two or three in stock for $24

    @webz I haven't but I might be in the area where B&N is later this week so I'll have a look!

    The only downside to the Storm figures is that Storm really doesn't seem to enjoy sticking to release dates. Reptile is due this month, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't see a full release until October or later. Which is really detrimental for when Kahn drops

    Yeah I've got a huge pile of loot sitting around and have to ship by Sept 25th. I really hope he gets released by then or I may cancel and reorder at a later time to combine his shipping with other stuff. I don't have anything coming from BBTS until the end of the year.

    my sights are on the bloody reptile to be my second SC MK fig..
    I think i'm going to wait on the next versions of Sub-Zero and Scorpion to release before i grab those.
