BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
MKX is available now, and these new figures will on store shelves before the end of the year.
Standing in at a 6″ scale and with more than 17 points of articulation, Mezco Toyz’ new series of Mortal Kombat action figures is looking like something for fans to get bloody excited over. It’s been years since there’s been a real MK toy line after all, and the fighting game series has never really gotten the A+ treatment from any manufacturer.
As an MK fan and someone who collects figures of all kinds though, I have to say I’m pretty impressed with what Mezco is doing with the license. All figures not only have great sculpting and articulation, but are loaded up with ball-joints for maximum poseability, and come with all the accessories that you’d look for.
Series 1 will be hitting stores and online shops next month, and series 2 finally has a date as well, and will arrive in September of this year. That set of figures will contain Kotal Kahn, Kitana, and the villainous Quan Chi. Here’s a peek at what’s on the way:
- Kitana: 10,000 years old, but considered young in her realm of Edenia, she rose to great importance; first as the loyal stepdaughter of Shao Kahn, then as his enemy, tearing herself away from his grasp and freeing her home realm of Edenia. She also led an army into Outworld to combat any chance of Shao Kahn rising to power again. Kitana comes with game specific accessories.
- Kotal Kahn: A new character in Mortal Kombat X. A general under Shao Kahn’s command, he is of the Osh-Tekk race. He then served under Empress Mileena after the death of Shao Kahn. Eventually Kotal seized control of the throne and Outworld. Now, he faces Mileena and Reiko in a civil war for Outworld. Kotal Kahn comes with game specific accessories.
- Quan Chi: The most powerful sorcerer and necromancer in the Netherrealm. Quan Chi combines both cunning and brute force in his never-ending plots to overtake not only Earthrealm, but all of reality. He is an opportunist and will ally himself with anyone who can help him further his own goals. He is notable in particular for his ruthlessness and pragmatism. His manipulative and deceptive nature has earned him many enemies, including Sub-Zero and Scorpion, whose entire family and clan he destroyed. Quan Chi comes with game specific accessories.
Thought the figures won’t be here till the Fall, you can actually pre-order them all right now and make sure you’ve got a set on the way. Hit this link for more info and to secure yours.
