Is it a TRU exclusive?

Ermac was never orange; he was always the red one.

So Rain and Noob Saibot are both exclusive to that TRU boxet?

It's an orangey sort of red though isn't it!? Google 'Ermac Red Orange', there seems to be quite a bit of debate on the subject.

I think it was a coloring mistake when it appeared somewhat orange. Some media made it look like a blood orange color even though it's supposed to be, officially, red.

Ermac - The Mortal Kombat Wiki

I wonder if this argument has reached the level of FIBRIR/RIBFIR?

Thats crazy i never knew there was a debate on Ermacs color lol I always thought it was red but then again back in the day adjusting your TVs settings and colors wasnt as easy plus those old tv sets didnt do much to make color settings easy.

Going by the boxart, it looks like just Rain is the exclusive.

Actually this is quite possibly true, countries which had PAL televisions (Europe and Australasia) always got shafted in terms of speeds and colours with regards computer games.

Cool, thanks for the clarification. BBTS don't have Noob listed so maybe he's going to turn up somewhere else.

I reckon cyborg Subby as an exclusive for SDCC next year!

vampireheart · 10-27-2011, 01:22 PM

Man now i gotta get these, regardless of teh QC of the Street Fighter figures im still collecting those, I picked up Seth and El Fuerte yesterday and they were much better in terms of quality the hand pegs were still loose but i dont compare these to Hasbros MU figs different company and i know Jazwares histiry is spotty at best so I know what im getting into It just helps if you are a fan of the source material. The MK figures though I dont care if we get ninjas as the first wave so long as we can get more variety further on down the line. I know how some people are going to wait and see if other figs come out before they invest into the line but that doesn't help Jazwares or your dreams of a full roster from your favorite game (promises really cant be made regarding rosters, however at least a statement saying "we'll try if sales are there to reinvest into wave 2" would at least been nice to let the fans know. I would love the MK2 characters MK1 was ok but to me MK2 is here the game really started to take form. This post isnt aimed at anyone in particular, just speaking my thoughts.

If the quality is at least better than the SF stuff im also picking up the Ninja set for a few friends that are also MK fans, after all every dollar counts.

NP bud. A clear blue CySub would be boss!

Symbiote · 11-02-2011, 10:31 AM

I just got the three pack cyborg ninjas. I like them. As for qc goes, my smoke's forearms are loose where the socket isn't fully inserted into the holes.

I'll post pics soon.

CLASSIFIED · 11-02-2011, 10:33 AM

I almost bought the pack that had all the Scorpion-esque ninjas, but didn't because of the quality control problems on the Street Fighter figs.

Okay, so that's different than the UPC I take it?

They look a little different body construction wise than the Street Fighter figs.

Do you open your toys?
