Storm Collectibles has revealed their upcoming Raiden 1/12 Scale Figure. This release is inspired by the God of Thunder’s appearance in Mortal Kombat 2. The figure includes three interchangeable head sculpts, multiple interchangeable hands, lightning effects pieces, and a head electrocution fatality effect piece. The figure is scheduled for release this April! Check out additional details below, and the new photos after the jump.
Raiden – Mortal Kombat Action Figure
Raiden is the God of Thunder and Protector of Earthrealm. Ageless and wise beyond measure, he leads Earthrealm’s morals in the endless battle against the forces of darkness. When Shao Kahn, Emperor of Outworld, threatened to merge his realm with Earthrealm, an overwhelmed Raiden implored the Elder Gods to give Earthrealm a fighting chance. Thus the Mortal Kombat tournament was created. For millennia Shao Kahn has been kept at bay, but nine consecutive losses to Goro have eroded hope that Earthrealm can be saved. Determined to prevent Armageddon, Raiden tirelessly quests to find a champion worthy of Mortal Kombat.
Features:
– 3 x Head Sculpts
– 6 x Pair of Hands (one pair of hands with lighting bolt)
– Lighting Bolt Effect
– Raiden’s Fatality – Head Electrocution Effect
Storm Teases Mortal Kombat Raiden Figure

They already fully revealed Raiden, though...why tease? Just give us release dates!
So this is not a tease for a new reveal, but a tease for an upcoming solicitation
Cannot wait.
Hopefully Raiden comes with a stand that can support him in his torpedo move. Storm figures are quite hefty.
YES! Finally! That effect looks awesome!

I've said it before and i'll say it again. These effects make it worth having both the regular and the bloody variants. One to display normally and the other to display using or having fatalities used on them.

Never mind Raiden that Sub-Zero has ice arms!?!?!
Yup... Raiden is bought. Easy. Really wish the vest was removable for mk1 purists, but he’d have to be bigger, too. Mk1 raiden was 7ft tall if I recall. His sprite was shrunk in subsequent games.
Regardless, this is the best looking figure Storm put out yet (bias... he was my main for years)
The figure looks awesome, there's no denying it. And that exploding head is the greatest accessory ever.
They are kind of announcing two figures here if you think about it...that Sub Zero in the promo shots has ice covered arms, which was never shown when the UMK3 Sub Zero was announced originally.
Another BBTS exclusive? Or an extra accessory that will be included with the original figure? Very interesting.
He looks great! Really glad we're getting him.

Was there a bloody variant of Sub-Zero announced anywhere? Or any of the cyber ninjas? Could be some Convention exclusives I guess.
I hope Raiden is available at SDCC!
well- April and March release dates- so I think I'll just grab both there. Storm shipping after release dates to the various on-line dealers is pretty late usually...

I was afraid I missed out on getting Guile, then 3 months later, he arrived at Megalopolis, bbts, and all the other online sites.
Figure looks great and I'll probably end up getting it but why are their pictures so. damn. dark?! Seriously, does their photographer not know how to adjust brightness or contrast?

It's not my ideal, but he's better than MK4-current Reptile.
