Indeed it is. Noob has been a confirmed character for a while.

They could very easily do multiple versions of the characters by incorporating accessories to pull off all the "-alities" from all the games. I wouldn't suggest they try to do it all in one release, either. Spread it out - have a wave that's the basic figure with a "signature move" accessory or two. Then have a deluxe wave that showcases their Fatalities, and so on. This line could go on for years....

Also, I'd like a version of Smoke; pre-Cyborg Lin Kieu, please.

With or without white flowing hair?

The ninja's and cyborgs are the best designed characters imo, If made well I would easily buy 5-10 of each because of a different color, I mean the basic design for the ninja is the exactly same but with color change and accessories you can add individual character, because you could have subzero(blue),scorpion(yellow),ermac(red),rain(pur ple),noob(black),smoke(grey)*with a clear version variant would be amazing.Chamelon (green), then your robots which 2 me are the perfect designs, predator feel with the mask and body armour, mecha type feel/star wars with the lightsabers, cyrax and sektor would be sick and that subzero version would be neat. If made well they could just tweak the color and make a fortune as they become the new IM2 Armoury effect of plastic crack. My only real concern is that I've never ever heard of this company before the sdcc released the packaging for both MK and SF. anybody expecting good things/or know of good work they've done to make me more siked for this?

But Reptile is green. Chameleon is multicolor.

Iirc pre-cyborg Smoke was shown on the package mockups at Toy Fair.

Just like Joseph and that Dream Coat of his.

Reptile should also come with a translucent variant, since he did the Predator camo thing as well.

Oh, they've done a few things before this, most notably the recent A-Team figures. Check out their site for more info:

behindthemask · 04-01-2011, 10:35 AM

Thanks for the feedback, I just never heard of them I saw the A-TEAM merch online but never bought any, although I did want that van something wicked to make a custom ride for punisher/blade but it's good to know they're picking classic characters not the nobodys or made up ones... I like the looks of the line so far from what's listed on BBTS, also didn't realize they're doing a 6'' line as well, I would love to see kratos from god of war done in this, as he's an unlockable in the game. Anybody play the new game yet? I dl'd the demo last night, it's amazing! oldschool feel with modern graphics engine and the new fight engine is nice.... good character line up as well. can't wait to buy the game almost as much as the figures... Anybody know who has the destributing rights for the toys once they come out? aka tru, walmart etc.. I believe a-team was sold at tru? *wouldn't know as there's not 1 close to me.

Yo, Primacon.

Any idea when these are supposed to hit retail?

As far as I am aware, they should be sold at all the major retailers. I haven't heard of anything being exclusive yet.

As for the A-Team figures, they were available at Walmart, Target and TRU for a while, but the line didn't go over that well and most clearanced them out in a few months.

I think the van ended up being the most popular item from what I can tell based on board chatter. Most likely it was because people wanted to use it as a customs base (I saw Punisher's name come up quite a bit in regards to the A-Team van).

According to the link he provided, BBTS says 3rd quarter this year for preorders, which means roughly sometime between July and September.

Chances are, retail should begin seeing them around the same time.

brianregan09 · 04-01-2011, 01:45 PM

Consider these bought!!! cannot wait for Scorpion Sub Zero and the rest !!!

miraclefan · 04-01-2011, 06:34 PM

Always the best idea. Can't risk that, even if you like the thing. Could turn out ugly.

xhavoc86 · 04-02-2011, 12:58 AM

still no pictures of the actual figures...

Primacron · 04-02-2011, 04:04 AM

Quite a clever move by Jazwares - release all the ninjas first, if they do good business then make more, if not they haven't lost much money as they all share the same mold.

I'm surprised they're waiting so long to release the figures as the new game comes out soon. Won't be getting rid of my 6" figures just yet............

I think it's clever too, honestly the ninjas were always cool in my eyes. Now I hope that the MK2 ninjas have weapons even though they didn't use them until the later 128bit MK games.

As for the 6" figures, it has been 5+ years since the Shaolin Monks figures were released. The powers that be working on the line are aware and are striving to make a far superior product. Let's hope these figures are on par if not better to Marvel Legends and/or SOTA Street Fighter.
