Nice display. I don't mind either, but wanted to mention it as complaints about that dominated talk on our Twitter page when he was initially revealed. Give me the full rainbow of Ninjas, and then do the same with the Cyborg Ninjas!

Goddammit if he comes with those ripped off arm pieces I'm in after I swore not to buy anymore until we got non-ninjas.
I like Storm's stuff but I feel like they took on too many licenses to do them all right. Noob wound up on BBTS last year for not a bad price compared to eBay of the SDCC, so I'll look for Ermac there later. |

Doesn't this series have at least one character who isn't a lazy Scorpion recolor? Even Transformers's second trio of Planes were modified with whole new wings and an alternate transformation. This is just red Scorpion.

They've got at least Smoke and Rain that we've seen waiting to get dropped- so they can ride the skittle ninja train for a long while yet- but they have shown prototypes of CyberNinja and and a few others. Years ago they showed Goro... still waiting. And Shao Kahn has only just now started to find his way to people that ordered him a very long time ago...

Almost ... ALMOST ... tempted to come back to the line, but I've quit Storm Collectibles. I love Mortal Kombat, but I ordered the first two, and the recommended vendor folded and I lost my $$$. Had to buy them on amazon for $$$. Then, my preorder for Reptile from a different company went rogue, and I lost $49 on that, too.
With their scatterbrained release dates (shipping direct out of the blue, then waiting 4 to 6 months to send out the retail releases), they pushed me out. Shame. Really love Ermac, too.

While I do like this figure, I dislike how they used the original MK1/2 ninja outfit for Ermac. Ermac's debut was UMK3, and in the MK3 series, the ninjas have a slightly different but noticeable outfit.

Possibly why he is a con exclusive rather than a standard release. I'd say they'll eventually do MK3 style ninjas but at the current rate that's at least a decade away.

These are based not on mk1 or mk2, but rather the Mortal Kombat X Klassic Kostume. There are little differences that point this out rather distinctly.

First of all, I'm don't mind with this tactic (Ermac for SDCC Exclusive) as they have their right to do that. BUT, I had to say that I'm kinda boring with Storm Collectibles now. They keep acquire many licenses as their product's progress is too slow for that. I don't know what's the point that they keep acquire many licenses if they couldn't manufacture many figures in a year. Another problem is the shipping delay issue which is quite frustrating. Also, their QC issue is worrying for me. I got their Reptile and it's peg is easily comes off when I attempted to change palm. I think I need to reconsider whether should continue to collect SC or not. I really love their MK line. But for these issue I had to think again.

i also have to say concerning Storm Collectibles, Square Enix
and Figures general this Year 2018. I mean... WHAT THE FU** happened? All Companies remain Silent, no new Announcements Square Enix does not show any Play Arts Kai or rarely Bring Arts. Storm Collectibles has also remained Silent. They showed another Scorpion Mold (Think it was MK9) Scorpion grey Prototype a Year ago, or their Liu Kang Figure with Dragon. I mean...what happended? How did the Joker say in Dark Knight Movie "I mean, what happened, Did you Balls drop off?" It is something like that. Companies like Storm C and Square Enix do need to complain about Sales from their Figures, i kept an Eye on that, most of their Figures are sold out, or are a Top Seller. The Only Companies that Kicks out one Figure / Pre Order after another are Mezco and Mafex this Year, one announcement after another. I expect Square Enix and Storm Collectibles to do the same. But if they do not show anything new at San Diego Comic Con, i have my doubts that these Mortal Kombat Series and the Play Arts Kai Series will be continued. Their Progress is FAR TO SLOW to actually make some serious Money with that Delays. Last edited by Ventus; 06-11-2018 at 06:45 PM.. |

If you ask any fan of the series however, they are likely to have at least one of these rainbow colored ninjas as one of their top 3 favorite characters. I really don't get all of the hate for this being in the MK 1/2 outfit. While I gets that his first appearance as a playable character was in UMK3, this figure actually pays homage to his first actual appearance, which was as a doctored Polaroid that ran in EGM magazine back in the day. It kickstarted the urban legend to the character, as well as a mad frenzy in arcades all over the world to find him...with the hilarious conclusion being that like another arcade urban legend that EGM fueled, Sheng Long...he never actually existed. |

Storm Collectibles needs to release a blood accessory pack already. The exclusive Noob Saibot should not be the only figure that has blood effect parts. This is Mortal friggin Kombat after all, all the
figures should include some sort of bloody splatter piece! |

I have also asked Storm C at Facebook if they can do
a Mortal Kombat 10 Hanzo Hasashi (Scorpion unmasked) and Kuei Liang (Sub Zero unmasked) Figures in the Future. Got no Response, but they have read my Message. Not just Old Ninja Molds, i would die and kill for some MK10 Characters from that Company i also wanted a MK3 / MK10 Liu Kang (What a Dream) but i would be also Happy if their Liu Kang + Dragon could get an Release.

Man, those ripped off arm effect pieces that come with Ermac are neat! But I still pass on it. The main oldschool Ninja Trio is enough for me. I still need to get Reptile and Shao Kahn too. I still am undecided for Noob Saibot/tobiaS booN. He would make a great addition
Where's the Liu Kang Figure with Dragon and where's Goro? We need those! And also MK & MK2; Raiden, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, Kitana, Jade, Mileena, Shang Tsung, Baraka, Kano, Kintaro, Kung Lao, Jackson "Jax" Briggs! Those are my must haves |

Those are my must haves I already did, and asked for Liu Kang and Goro. and for more Characters from MK3-MK10 I think it should not be the Goal of a Company to just create Repaints over and over and over again. That could wrong some day, and could also anger many Collectors that want more MK Figures. I only want to make Storm Collectibles realize that Ninja Repaints over and over again, is not a way to success. But other Characters will be. I mean what happens if all Ninjas are done???? If every MK1 Ninja like Ermac and so on, is finished??? Not creating anymore Characters, because everyone owns the Ninjas now? Sure not. These Ninjas in their MK1 Outfits are the Worst ones in my Opinion. I liked their Modern Outfits in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and later Games (A little bit more Knight Style like Scorpion) A LOT MORE. Many People (Including me) want more Characters like Motaro or Dragon King Onaga! That Figures would be a Monster Hit since no Company did these before.

I would like to know what they are afraid of.
Maybe they have Fear that other Characters Sales will not be good? Actually i do not know how many Mortal Kombat Collectors are out there, but i would make an instant Pre Order on Liu Kang, Cyrax, Sektor and would scream "HEEEELLL YES" for an Hanzo Hasashi Scorpion unmasked MK10 Version. Or a Kabal Figure with removable Mask / Burned Face underneath. They would make so damn much Money if they would Choose the correct Characters to produce. Actually EVERY Company Jazswares and Mezco messed up their MK Licenses so far. Because they never dared to produce other Characters than Scorpion and Sub Zero. Mezco Sub Zero and Scorpion were awesome Figures, i still own them. Jaszwares cancelled their Line Years ago, Figures were really good, but not really screen accurate. I beg that Storm Collectibles will make the right Choices and Continues their Line with more Characters. Last edited by Ventus; 06-15-2018 at 07:01 AM.. |
