Having only 15 out of the original 16 number cast is an eyesore to me that still bothers me to this day.

Besides, techno has always worked better with the Mortal Kombat crew anyway.

You're preaching to the choir, bro. I'm fairly certain that the unreleased SOTA Dee Jay is my grail. I thought that drowning the collection display in variants would help mask his absence - but I think it only served to further highlight it.

And poor Dan had both a broken hand peg, and a torn ponytail peg.

I feel your pain! I've had breakages on at least 7 of my collection. The most painful was P1 Dhalsim snapping a shoulder peg. Mika falls apart if you so much as think about picking her up (and I don't even count that as a breakage). Ibuki's crotch is loose (filthy wench), at least on most of them. I've had one fully disassemble itself. Fun.

The line was not robust. It was, however, stunning. I love the figures so much. Their individual sculpts giving character specific articulation and cracking likenesses and paintwork really helped capture the characters for me.

I think I still have a handful of duplicates, if there's any great interest..?

I'm still too new to post links, but I'll pop a couple of pics up when I'm allowed.

To keep this on topic - I used my first broken P1 Chun-Li's boots toward a Excalibur era Dazzler custom some years back. She's been a worthy enough placeholder for years - but she'll be getting ousted once I open Skating Disco Farrah in July.
