The neat thing is that with Mortal Kombat, it doesn't look like there is a shortage of figures. Are you getting close to having all of them? I would be tempted to do one of two things . . . get them all or only 5-7 of the best ones. It has to be an odd number for symmetry sake. LOL These guys always have several heads. I keep saying this, but I do hate getting only one head with the same expression over and over again. It's too bad that they can't figure out how to articulate the face . . . the only thing one can do is move the eyes if the eyes are moveable. I am sure it can be done, but you would have to have quite a bit of flexibility with the face and all sorts of levers to turn. I bet it can be down with the right materials. How much it would cost? Who knows, but that would be so cool!!! I like the screaming head the most on your figure. I never like gritting teeth face sculpts (first one shown anyway). I imagine that to be a toilet grimace. LOLOL Have a great one today!!! 🙂

There are so many characters in Mortal Kombat and new ones seem to appear with every new game, so there is potentionally no end as far as figures goes. So far I have every character that Storm have made a figure of, with the exception of the variants. I have the regular version of basicly all of them, which is the one I want. But there are some figures that has a bloody variant, and there are a few that has a «player 2» variant, which is just a slight color variant of the regular version. There is also a few «special edition» figures that is the same as the regular, but it has a extra accessory piece that the regular version doesn’t have. I think I have two of those so far. I always get the version with the most amount of accessories, though I don’t display these figures with any accessories at all. I just like to have the option to do so. I’ve noticed that some collectors only wants their favorite characters from certain series, but I want the whole freakin’ set LOL! There are 36-38 characters (I think) from this particular Mortal Kombat game that most of these figures are from. So far we’ve gotten about half the playable game roster, and Im hoping that Storm collectibles will get the permission to continue making the rest. I would have loved to have these figure in 1/6th scale with clothes made of fabrics, but that would take up way too much space. Thats why I think that these smaller figures are better for a larger collection set. Yeah, I wish that they would figure out a way to change the face expression on the 1/6th scale figures at least. Movable eyes is a nice start though. I did get a 1/1 scale «figure» of Ada Wong from the Resident Evil 2 remake game. She is standing in my bedroom currently because I have no other place to put her LOL. You can actually pose her eyes too by gently pushing the eye in and move it with your finger. You can also open her mouth as well, but you can’t do much more than that as far as a face expression goes. I would really love it if something similar would be possible with the 1/6th scale heads. I have an app that I can make a figure head smile in various way on a picture or a video though, but thats as far as that goes. Beinh able to change the face expression on a figure makes a world of difference as far as posing them goes. It simply adds so much life to the pose. Yeah, some of the heads on these Mortal Kombat figures makes them look like they’re having a difficult time on the toilet LOL! Wish I had a 1/12th scale toilet now LOL. You have a great day too, my friend 😊😂

@@Eseres80 God! I didn't know for sure that they had tons of figures, but I suspected as much. I guess if the game keeps coming out with new figures, you'll never run out of something to get. LOL You have a 1/1 figure? Wow. I have seen them, but boy, they do charge an arm and a leg for these things. I have seen full size complete figures for $9000 to $12000. I guess if you wanted to have a museum, that would be the way to go. LOL Yes, moveable eyes are a nice start. There was a time when that didn't exist. I just wish toy makers would keep pushing the boundaries out and think outside of the box. I mean once you get the blue print down, it shouldn't be that bad . . . like moveable eyes. Yes, the grimacing never works for me. LOL Whoever came up with those expressions didn't think that one out far enough is my two cents. LOL I may do something with that if I just want to create something fun. I'll have to think about that!!! 🙂

I have two more or less «big issues» with the 1/6th scale figures. For one, the face expressions are usually very boring. Second! Why are there so little few choises of gestures? I mean… If you want something else than the typical closed fists, trigger hands or the releaxed hands, then you have to hunt down a set of hands from another figure and cross your fingers that they’ll match the head sculpt and body you’re using. That is IF you can find a set of hand gestures that aren’t gloved! Why haven’t any companies realized yet that making custom figures is actually a huge part of this hobby. We have finally gotten head sculpts with movable eyes from some companies, so there is that. But a company like TBLeague, for example, that actually manufacture what I consider to be the absolute best 1/6th scale bodies on the market in various shaoes and skin tones (now even in black), why don’t they start making head sculpts? i8 Toys makes some really great female head sculpts with movable eyes. The way they make their head sculpts is what TBLeague should do it. Further more! TBLeague, which makes seamless bodies, should think about how to make a head sculpt with both movable eyes AND mouth. Then there is the hands. I want sets how hands with various gestures other than gun, knife/staff holding hands, closed fists and releaxed hands, and I want them in skin tones that will match the skin tones on the freakin’ bodies! Why are these things so hard for these companies to understand? I think that TBLeague have like 50+ different seamless body models on the market now. 99 percent of those are either pale, tan or suntan. Start manufactoring heads and hands to go with all these bodies, thats what Im saying LOL!

Shame Storm seem to have stopped with the MK series.

[@Eseres80]

A lot of people seem to think the same. However. Storm haven’t actually «lost» the license. From what I’ve read online the license for any MK merch has been put on pause untill Discovery/WB can get things in order after Discovery bought WB. The last I read about that is that they’ve figured things out, thus Storm might get the green light to continue the production of the figures again soon. I also heard that someone from Storm have confirmed that the MK license has only been put on hold untill Discovery and WB could sort out the businees between them. Things like this is only natural when a company gets new owners. So far neither Discovery, WB or Storm Collectibles have said anything about the MK license being lost. The MK license is a pretty hot one to have, and the figures are flying off the shelves. It would be stupid of Discovery/WB to denie anyone to make the MK figures. As far as Im conserned nothing have been officially stated one way or the other, so I’ll be waiting to see where this is going.
