Two new Mortal Kombat 11 Figures have been revealed by McFarlane Toys. They include both Raiden and Johnny Cage. The figures stand at 7″ tall, with about 22 points of articulation. The Raiden figure is based on his “Merciless Guardian” skin from the game. It includes lightning effects pieces, a staff, and interchangeable hands. The Johnny Cage figure is based on his “Hollywood Hunk” skin from the game. He includes a small Johnny Cage action figure, an awards statue, and removable sunglasses.
The figures are priced at $19.99 each. Look for them to be released in the First Quarter of 2020. Pre-orders have begun to go live as well. See photos and details after the jump.

Mortal Kombat 11 - Johnny Cage and Raiden Figures by McFarlane Toys
I may not have played the game but those are some damn cool figures!
Holy shit, these figures are both hideous. Look how Johnny Cage's weird chest has an ugly cutout that the neck goes into, the skin tones that don't even match from section to section, and the massive gap in the mid-torso joint. It's SOOO gross.
Anthony's Customs did reviews where he savaged the McFarlane Scorpion/Sub-Zero figures (as well as the Doom Slayer) for having articulation that doesn't work, sub-par paint, and just bad overall really bad design (it's the hardest I've ever seen him be on figures), and it looks like MK wave 2 continues that trend.
Owning the Doom Slayer myself, I can concur with pretty much everything he said. The overall sculpt is good and it's nice to FINALLY have a Doom figure - any Doom figure, I'll take it - but it's seriously like no one at McFarlane knows how to design an action figure that isn't Fortnite. I'm 100% serious. Almost of the articulation on the Doom Slayer is completely useless and you can't get him into anything much beyond the standard "hero" (meaning standing there doing nothing) pose. The joints are weird and poorly-implemented, and the sculpt prevents most of the limbs from having any range of motion at all.
It's so disappointing. It's like Todd's been making statues for so long that he doesn't know what action figures do. I mean, just copy Hasbro or NECA, dude. I don't get it since the Halo figures were pretty great back in the day and they're doing a good job with Fortnite but MK and Doom are trash.
I don’t, know. When I first looked at these I thought, wow those are some kick as-s looking figures. I’ll have to watch that review you are talking about. Other than the goblin king and Star Trek I have not bought any of Todd’s stuff lately to get a feel on articulation. Obviously, being a dc collector that will change come 2020.
Wow, the Johnny figure looks pretty dam cool!

Finally, my favorite Mortal Kombat character...Johnny Cage!
Awesome!
Blech. Gonna stick with Storm Collectibles' classic take for my MK fix. The new games have atrocious costumes. I hate, hate, HATE the "Johnny" chest tattoo. Stupidest thing. MK has become a parody of itself.

After watching these I can only say. Touché.
The fact that the Doom Slayer's legs only can go 15 degrees forward or backward is enough reason to hate on McFarlane. I mean, why bother adding articulation at all if it does nothing?
Dumpster fire I believe is over-used but that figure was a dumpster fire. I hope the dc stuff has some better engineers.
EDIT: Looking at his Scorpion review, he seems kind of absurdly negative, and seems to have kind of asininely high standards. Giving that figure 3/10 articulation when it's mostly about as poseable or hindered as many Black Series or Legends figures? Constantly calling the figure gross? It's silly.
They are $20 figures! What are you expecting? The only $20 line that actually competes with the $100 imports is Hasbro's Star Wars Black Series. For $20 I think you are getting a really good figure. As for Anthony Customs. its one person's opinion. not the gospel. He doesnt own every figure on earth. On his top 100 list of the last decade he didnt have a SINGLE star wars figure. even if you are not a Star Wars fan, you have to respect Tamashii Nations Samurai/Star Wars figs and include something from that line in the top 100 figures of the last decade.
And they do compare, because once you take away the importing fees of the middleman, they are actually not that different... you are comparing a $20 figure to a $40-60 figure. It's similar to comparing a Black Series Obiwan to the SH Figuarts Obiwan. You CAN make super detailed, articulated figures for less than $30, with butterfly joints in the shoulders and articulation not limited by poor sculpting. McFarlane chose not to. Add to that the mediocre paintwork (I looked at 9 recently that all had subzero with eyes looking in different directions and sloppy armor "details"). These are almost as bad as the $6 jazzwares MK figures from KBToys in the early 2000's.

I don't think the Doom figure is terrible. It's a chunky design and a chunky design results in something that is difficult to move. I mean has anyone ever seen the articulation of an actual body builder? Guys get so big they can barely move.
That said, the doom figure is a few adjustments away from being great and that's a shame. They missed the mark but only slightly. His arms being bulky could have had double joints and a swivel at the top makes all the difference. In saying that, you can add a swivel by swapping his arms out for a set of absorbing man arms (not my idea some guys on another forum). Making his arms swivel makes a huge difference to possibility. Of course you shouldn't have to do this but it's worth noting that it's an easy enough mod.
Interesting! Are there more pics of this modded Doom Slayer available? And where'd he get the BFG??
As for the BFG. That's 3d printed using an anycubic photon. Resin 3d printer results in a really good print at this scale. This was printed with clear green resin. Printed hollow and now attempting to get some LEDs in there.
File is here
Should be around 10cm to get it right.
I also modded the head. Dremeled a socket so it could fit a NECA T2 head. Helmet is as is but now has a carved up head piece that plugs in so it has a neck.
I like the action figure and statue for Cage but that's about it. Storm hinted at doing one for Cage w/ Pesina's likeness. I hope they go forward with it.
So also would like to throw a Word in
here regarding the Quality of the MK Figures.
I currently own MCFarlane Sub Zero.
Still waiting for Scorpion.
The Quality for an 20$ Figure is very Amazing.
Very Durable and Posable.
Also the Joints Overall are very good
and durable for a 20$ Toy. Plastic itself
Does not seem Cheap. Also Especially the
Hand Joints are very Durable.
On Convention and Product Screenshots, Sub Zeros Face
looked a little bit Cartoony and Strange.
But in Hand, he looks very Realistic
exactly how he looks in the Game.
YES, Johnny Cage Sculpt does look
weird indeed. But the Raiden Figure looks awesome.
Another Word on the Stock of the Figures:
Sub Zero and Scorpion are almost sold out everywhere.
Sub Zero is hard to get, and so is Scorpion.
At least here in European Union, Vendors
have Trouble getting these in Stock.
Sub Zero was Sold out on Instant, at one of my Stores.
It seems the Figures sold very well.
From an Youtube Review of Scorpion i saw, that
most People are also very Happy with the Figures
and the Articulation.
I hope MCFarlane Continues these...and maybe my Dream
comes true to get an Hanzo Hasashi / Scorpion unmasked
And Finally a Liu Kang Figure.
As much as i love all Mortal Kombat Games,
I do not like the Character Designs of the old Games.
That is the Reason why i do not support Storm
Collectibles, since they just do all damn Old
Character Designs over and over again, instead of moving forward to MK 9-11
I Finally want an Liu Kang, Hanzo Hasashi, Jade
Figures from MK10 and MK11.
I think there is a High Chance, that MCFarlane will
also do Spawn Figure from MK11 once the DLC Character is
out in March 2020

Zak Bagans?
Anthonys customs is a bad toy reviewer, he doesnt like anything.
Every toy company has good and bad figs. all of them cant be golden.
McFarlane's Borderlands and Fortnite figs are top notch thou
That being said, i getting both of these, its Johnny Cage!
As for the MK figures, I'd go for Storm Collectibles' offerings instead.
