Am I crazy for spending $175 on this Mortal Kombat Figure?? - Shooting & Reviewing

[@artistictoaster7134]

Storm Collectibles are single handedly one of the best figure companies, extremely underrated in my opinion too. What really sold them for me too was their recent makings of soft goods for their figures. I only own 2 Storm Collectible figures and those are the Baki Hanma and Yujiro Hanma figures from the GOATED series Baki The Grappler. They are definitely some of my favorite figures because they can seriously do any and everything you could ever wish a 1/12 scale figure could do! From the soft plastic to the immaculate articulation. This Scorpion figure, as well as their new Ryu figure is something I really want to get sometime in the future! Edit: It was worth getting him for 175, I was able to get Yujiro for retail thankfully, Baki on the other hand, I had to get in aftermarket and most people sell him for like $200+. I was lucky to find a killer price of $165 (in my state too!)

[@sirdork730]

Hey man!!! Thanks for the insight! I am definitely agreement with you there! Glad you support my purchase 🤣

[@redboone1509]

I love that Lobo. I've had him for about 2 years. I dont like alot about him but over all hes still a fave of mine

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I thought $80 for Reptile was a ripoff 😅 And our boy ToyMirth!

Yes, just a few days ago I saw it was announced that Storm Collectibles lost the Mortal Kombat license. I'm hoping that means that maybe Jada Toys picked it up and considering how great their Street Fighter figures have been, I'd be very happy if that turns out to be the case. Speaking of Jada Toys, if you're into Street Fighter at all, those figures are particularly great, especially for $25.

[@buzzsawgr81]

that would be awesome, especially since mcfarlane has basically ended it's MK line.

[@sirdork730]

Woah I actually love that idea! I hope you’re right! I’d end up getting all of them! 🤣

[@JeffZ1028]

@@buzzsawgr81 Mcfarlane made some good MK figures, I own the MK11 Sub-Zero and Joker but I'd love some classic MK figures that are highly articulated. Jada's price point is perfect too, especially considering most of these Storm Collectibles and Mcfarlane MK figures can go for so much nowadays as we can see😅

[@buzzsawgr81]

@@JeffZ1028 agreed. I have all the mcfarlane MK figures (minus raiden and variants). and yeah, jada is knocking it outta the park with their SF line, so some classic MK from them would be epic.

[@connorburns9422]

Dude a jadatoys mk line would be so cool!

[@redboone1509]

I literally just did the same thing with the bear blood feral predator from Neca. I want that scorpion really bad too

[@SnowBlackheart]

I sent McFarlane a message on Twitter before asking for classics! They did respond and said ''Thank you for your message. Each of the Mortal Kombat properties require separate licensing and approvals. We hope to continue the MK figure line, but we don't have any additional information at this time. '' I want them to do some MK9 figures, especially Scorpion, Kitana and Mileena. Some of my favorite designs because culture. Also the Deception skins were amazing as well.

[@MileHighPlasticGuy]

Yes... yes you are. I'll update my opinion after I watch.

[@sirdork730]

I think your answer is probably correct either way 🤣

[@clfjmpr]

you've been watching this for two months...

[@That_Purple_Bandit]

Hay, as long as he gets a lot of use out of it, and HE feels that it was worth it. I say it was worth it!

[@Ginyuforcefan]

It’s been six months

[@gameztopcollectibles]

How long does it take you to watch this? It's been 8 months. Are you okay?

[@HumanSpree]

Retail was 49.99 for Scorpion and Subzero, then it went up when the rest of the rainbow was released, they were really underrated when they came out

[@observer.b_e_l_l_i_s]

Absolutely. The 1/6th Scorpion Sub Zero are chefs kiss perfect.

[@johnnycapalbo8792]

That’s about what I paid for mine when it normally goes for 200+ close to 300 depending on where you look an sub-zero goes for the same if not more I paid $250 for my mk3 sub-zero

[@dominicpaul1]

The sheer amazingness of your photography made me give up leaving the house today. I just stared, talentless, at your beautiful photos, then I ate some fries and rocked gently until night fell, and the sweet release of sleep, took me away. Awesome work!!

[@sirdork730]

Woah dude thanks so much 😳 this might be the nicest comment ever 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[@dominicpaul1]

You're welcome 😊👍

[@jakea75]

Would be nice if storm would re release some of their older waves. This retailed at 80$ I believe.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Very nice! This is basically an updated version of the first MK figure in the line, so the engineering is much better. Sadly, the skull head is slightly off, like you mentioned. There was a Sub-Zero shown with this mold, but like many of the Storm MK prototypes and teases, I’m not sure we’re going to see them now that the license has disappeared from their site. Luckily there are other Sub-Zeros in the line that look good with this guy! Glad you like the figure, the old school costumes and great articulation made this my favorite figure line. I’m sad to see it go.

[@sirdork730]

Hey Captain!! Thanks for the insight dude! I quickly learned there isn’t a SubZero equivalent unfortunately 🤔 it yeah and sub zero will go great next to him! Thanks for watching man!!

[@Subzeroedits2023]

Just picked this guy up for $125 he looks awesome!

[@tiffanylathrop1107]

I have a subzero but I want a different one like one of your other figures

YES

[@paredfia]

Worth it - because you won’t ever see a Mortal Kombat figure this good from anyone for a LOOOONG time, including Storm. 😢

[@suhtangwong]

I'm calling it, jada is go a take the license!

haha! of corse will see :-D Storm its simply toys for kids ! exist more better and more serious figures.

[@Just_matt11]

Awesome video!🎉

[@Trooper_effects12]

Soo good as always jared ❤ i absolutely love this figure but its a bit out of price range at the moment ❤❤but for a collector and a photographer i would definitely say he was worth every penny as long as you are happy with it than i would say worth every penny the shot came out soo good as always

[@christianrosa334]

Totally worth it, definitely need to get one before the price goes higher, i seen raiden going for $250 😅

[@mr.firetime2605]

All honestly sirdork probably has some of the best toy reviews out here on KZbin for one particular reason cause he shows how a figure looks in a photo I love the fact he does that a lot of time you can get a figure and it can look great in hand but on a photo it can look like pure crap but sirdork shows how it looks in a photo and that it can look good

[@sirdork730]

Dude you are awesome 🙇‍♂️ thanks so much for watching!!!

[@buzzsawgr81]

personally I have yet to see a 6-7 inch figure that's worth over $100. I do have a couple of the gears of war figures from storm (marcus and cole), so I will agree that storm does some great figures.

[@johnny10grasp3]

So a 1/6 scale figure for 300$ is worth it. Lol

[@buzzsawgr81]

@@johnny10grasp3 god no. but I also have no experience with companies like hot toys and the few 1/6 and 1/4 scale figures I have I got for under $100.

[@james0706g]

Master Sirdork, this video is really awesome🤩. I am a big fan of storm collectibles😍. Currently there are sixty movable figures of this brand. I really hope that you can take more photos of storm collectibles in the future. Action figure 🙏, and I think you made a great decision to buy this Mortal Kombat Figure for $175👍, because it is more expensive in Asia, and according to rumors, the Mortal Kombat Figure series seems to have a new copyright agent, so storm Collectibles will cancel them from the official website, so these products in the past will become sky-high prices in the future😆

[@sirdork730]

Hey!! Thanks so much for watching and you great input! 🙇‍♂️ this actually excited me to see who may be acquiring the license and putting out new MK figures!

Na that's worth it. I hunted down each of the MK1 Ninjas from Storm and holy crap those were expensive lol. MK1 Reptile cost me ~$250 and I got him so I can complete my set. I recommend looking at the Ermac and Noob Saibot from Storm.

[@plane1980]

You are the best toy toy photographer

[@sirdork730]

Thanks so much dude 😭😭

[@hystericx167]

I got him when he first released and I can easily say I’d even pay $300 for this. I love this character SO MUCH and this figure perfectly recreate him. Also.. I almost got that sub zero but it was a scam and he was actually broken in the legs but he hid it saying it was new. But as soon as I came back I saw PLASTIC WRAP HOLDING THEM UP

[@tigerfang2099]

I usually shop at entertainment earth! 🙌

[@miKeYdOEsNtLiKeiT508]

Hopefully mezco can pick up MK again.. if so it'd be a wrap. Storm does great with the accesories and all the diff molds. But a character like scorpion was practically made to be a one 12 collective figure

[@toymirth]

Totally worth the price. I can say that since that's what I paid, lol. I just hope I don't regret it after you put out some awesome photos with it 😅

[@sirdork730]

1000% worth the price!! Thanks for selling it to me dude!! You the man 🙏

[@jayd1nero]

I’ve been looking at these figures for 3 years but I don’t know if the price is worth it especially because I want to collect them all

[@TFC809]

I know this gonna be a good video

[@a1tech11]

Its probably worth $200 in the eyes of a scorpion fan. Id pay $175 for sure. I grew up on mortal kombat though. Saw the movies in theaters. Had all the video games. The OG scorpion might be the most popular fighting game character of all time next to Street Fighters Ryu

[@JoshuaRivas-zv3jh]

My honest reaction is that it might be rare, so it might be worth it or not I really doesn't matter What matters is that cool figure. 😎. Ps. I think the fire has more of a Pazaz to the figure.

That doesn’t look like its worth 175$. Though if it was cheaper I might have bought it. Can I make a request? If so, can you review the Twelve Toys GI Joe Snake Eyes? It’s 3rd party but it does look cool.

[@DarkNinjaProduction6]

Lobo for Sub-Zero would not be a fair trade at all as Sub is about $200-$300. Regardless, great video man

[@JGLicam]

Nah, I don't think so. If you love the game and the character, storm is a pretty good company. Besides, it was an event exclusive from 4 years ago. So, if it was worth it for you that's all that metters :) And my jaw literally droped with your shot!

[@sirdork730]

I appreciate that! I’m feeling the same 🙏🙇‍♂️ and thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@LoneWalker59]

If you love the character and only wanted him from the Storm line then it was worth it. If you bought it to complete Storm's MK collection then don't as they've lost the license and won't be releasing any more figures.

Yeah I think you overpaid. My view is that for as good as it is, it's not the greatest likeness to the source material, it has some minor issues (too bulky, the "H" elbow joints, the scale), and we'll likely get a version of this character, with this look, sometime soon from another company which will rival this one (fingers crossed).
