That's the problem with fighter game toys. It's impossible to please everyone up front, and there is always someone who is a fan of Stryker or Kabal who is upset they weren't first tier releases. Without a doubt, Sub and Scorp are the "flagship" characters. Boon admits it. That makes sense they came first. Next in popularity is Raiden followed by Cyberninjas.
Wave 2 with cyberninjas, kitana, and baraka seems to be putting popular characters with baraka, who is only 2nd tier mediocre in popularity. Baraka will be the real test if we'll get the 3 tier characters.

We got quite a while until we get Johnny Cage, Sonya, or most of the new cast of MK3 or later games, such as Sheeva, Fujin, Tonya, etc.

I agree, though, that Motaro would be a HUGE (literally!) asset to flaunt. He'd appeal to MK fans as well as people who just love huge freaky toys.
