Holy shit, these figures are both hideous. Look how Johnny Cage's weird chest has an ugly cutout that the neck goes into, the skin tones that don't even match from section to section, and the massive gap in the mid-torso joint. It's SOOO gross.

Anthony's Customs did reviews where he savaged the McFarlane Scorpion/Sub-Zero figures (as well as the Doom Slayer) for having articulation that doesn't work, sub-par paint, and just bad overall really bad design (it's the hardest I've ever seen him be on figures), and it looks like MK wave 2 continues that trend.

Owning the Doom Slayer myself, I can concur with pretty much everything he said. The overall sculpt is good and it's nice to FINALLY have a Doom figure - any Doom figure, I'll take it - but it's seriously like no one at McFarlane knows how to design an action figure that isn't Fortnite. I'm 100% serious. Almost of the articulation on the Doom Slayer is completely useless and you can't get him into anything much beyond the standard "hero" (meaning standing there doing nothing) pose. The joints are weird and poorly-implemented, and the sculpt prevents most of the limbs from having any range of motion at all.

It's so disappointing. It's like Todd's been making statues for so long that he doesn't know what action figures do. I mean, just copy Hasbro or NECA, dude. I don't get it since the Halo figures were pretty great back in the day and they're doing a good job with Fortnite but MK and Doom are trash.
