These look a little too "motor-cross" for me. From the images shown, there isn't much about this line - yet - that is exciting. The "ninja" figures are missing any sort of distinctiveness, besides paint apps. Maybe they will have accessories that will move them from just being clones, but I haven't seen much to make think so.

I am looking forward to them branching off from identical figures and moving towards the other characters that were far more unique.

Since when is smoke blue? isn't he grey?

$14.99 for a 4 inch Raiden figure? Uh oh. Hmmm also wasn't Scorpion advertised with pics? Looks like the 6 pack of ninjas will be excluding him and no, I don't need a history lesson on how he isn't a Lin Kuei and how that's why they didn't. :p

Agreed, VERY strange. Especially considering he's a light gray in his human ninja version.

It looks like the Cyber Sub Zero then Smoke..

oh well..

are these all 4" figures?

The Ninjas and Cyborgs are. The rest like Raiden and Johnny Cage are not. At least these are simple looking, can easily be repainted to your tastes if need be.

The single releases for $15 are 6", not 4.

god where were these about 17 years ago, I would have killed for these back then

Those are some smart looking sets! The Cyberninja's look good, but the 6-pack set looks brilliant (Thought slightly bummed out by no Scorpion!) I will have to look out for these!

Those look so much better than anything I have seen out there in regards to MK thus far.

the shoulders are way too rounded.

I know, I was just feigning ignorance. :)

This pack is looking pretty decent. I might have to pick it up, but the second I do, I'm committing to buying all the MK ninjas in this scale. T_T

Screw it, I'm biting!

You're pretty much stuck buying most of them in this scale as a package deal anyway, I don't think they sell them individually except for Scorpion (who I saw as a single) so you're pretty much stuck committing to it. I think the only two we'll get to buy as a single are going to be Scorpion and maybe cyber Sub-Zero. Also, maybe they'll cast the Ninja mold in clear plastic and we'll get Chameleon, too. I'm guessing Kitana, Mileena, Jade won't be too far behind since they'll also be recolours of the same buck.

Hes not grey in cyber form he was actually a purplish blue from what i remember, I just found a pic here just scroll down to see Smoke

Mortal Kombat Secrets: Mortal Kombat Trilogy - Character's Bios

when these hitting ebay?

or any fellow arkers will to pick me up a set with the 6 pack?

Are these going to be available anywhere else besides Toys R Us?

I really...want to get into this line...but seriously...there are two molds!

Albeit the molds actually look good...I dunno...I can't commit to a line that all looks the same minus the paint jobs of course

Ok, can someone clarify something for me? On BBTS, it has a "5 pack" with:
1x Ermac
1x Reptile
1x Scorpion
1x Smoke
1x Sub-Zero

Is this Scorpion "exclusive" to BBTS and the Smoke and Rain "exclusive" to TRU and as a result, in order to get these 3 exclusive ninjas, we're going to have doubles of Reptile, Smoke, Sub-Zero and Ermac? If yes, then I cry foul. Otherwise, are these MKIII style figures and the ones on BBTS MKII style? As in cloth costumes instead of this padded stuff? If so, all is forgiven but then again, there was no MKII Ermac so I'm thinking it's more of this Play-Doh padding stuff.

Double post, sorry.

Looks like it (Noob and Rain) and iirc, Ermac originated in MKII as rumor. It was coded and some people thought he was a hidden character because of it. Oh and screw that other noise of getting 3 ninjas again when you can just settle for 2- MK9 4" Exclusive Figure Assortment - Set of 5 - Mortal Kombat Mortal Kombat 2011-2012

Seriously?? One mold=5 figures??? Not the best of ways to make your mark with a new toyline, surely they should have got some of the more individual characters out there,then release a 5pack of colour-coded identical ninjas?? Very disappointed in these.......

Wish they could have some little effects or accesories to better identify them as seperate chracters.

Loved Cyrax's little bomb things and net.

But little extras qould have been neat.

I never even noticed the Biker "armor" very nice call.

Especially given that's the same method every other failed Mortal Kombat line has pushed out right off the bat. I've given up trying to keep up with which rotating group up musical chairs companies gets the license for a relaunch year after year.

If you want to make a big splash, make your first wave be something other than just raiden, liu kang and 20 variations of the ninjas or cyborgs. It's been done, over and over again. We all already have those figures on our shelves (6" at least). The Jax is the only figure of note to me in the entire line.

You're definitely right about Rain and Ermac, but I'm positive I fought Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat II. Him, Jade and Smoke were the hidden enemies. I'd be happy enough if they were the cloth versions instead of the padded versions but unlikely of that happening. Those MK9 ones do look like a pretty decent alternative, though. Thanks for the link.
