Mortal Kombat – Motaro 1/12 Scale Action Figure
MOTARO is from a race the Centaurians. He made his first appearance as a sub-boss character in Mortal Kombat 3. Motaro’s kind have come into conflict with the Shokan, a four-armed race to which Goro, Kintaro and Sheeva belong, as Kahn favors the Centaurians and aids them in the defeat and subjugation of the Shokan race. As a Centaurian, Motaro possesses a great strength as well as a razor-sharp tail that fires energy blasts from its tip, and the power of teleportation. He also has an absolute immunity to projectile attacks, as Motaro’s skin appears to have some sort of reflective surface that automatically repels long range attacks to the point of sending them right back at opponents.
Features:
– Fully Articulated Mortao’s Body – 240mm Tall
– 2 x Interchanging Head Sculpt
– 3 x Pairs of hand
– 1 x Fireball Effect
– 1 x Articulated Bloody Skeleton Skull Body

Not bad... wonder if this will actually happen or if it'll disappear like Liu Kang, Kitana, the Dragon, etc
Don't forget Johnny Cage, Mileena, MKX Scorpion, and MK3 Unmasked Sub-Zero! They all disappeared too!
Damn, this guy is going to be massive. Not the biggest fan of MK3, but he's undeniably a great looking figure.
I think MKX was put on hold due to McFarlane doing the modern figures. SubZero, Mileena, did disappear for no reason. I love the look of these figures, but the company is really sloppy. I really think they are biting off too much, and it's gonna leave them with a lot of unhappy customers with unfinished collections, since they keep adding game licenses and do one or two figures.
I haven't played Mortal Kombat since I was a kid and don't know this character but I fully support making such a unique and outlandish character. I might get it just to have some crazy looking demon-centaur.
I wanna be happy about this.....
I remember seeing a picture of the developers posing for a picture with the stop motion puppets. I've tried finding it on google for literally decades now. I remember thinking I really wanted that to be made into an action figure with a bendable tail.

Pre-ordered!
"SIIIIIIILENCE! I FINISH YOU!"

Nice reuse of the Golden Axe skeletons.
He is sold out but I would expect it to pop up on BBTS.
Including a fully articulated skeleton as an "accessory" is awesome. If you think of a skeleton as $25-30 given the 2 pack price, then Motaro himself is an $80-85 figure. He looks great, I hope his back legs can stand up, I know he wasn't like that in game, but I just want to see how he'll look. He's going to probably mix in with Mythic Legions too.
I hope Storm has at least one more MK reveal this weekend, they've been teasing Motaro for months now.
Motaro is friggin awesome. The fact he comes with an articulated Skeleton is icing on the cake and at $110 wow just wow. Instant buy. Really can't wait for them to give us Kintaro.

Never thought I would see something like this. So awesome.
