Sorry bub, but the MK1/MK2 look will be the big seller here on out, for the aforementioned nostalgia. Sure, you'll get stuff based on whatever current game is on the market, just like the Mezco figures from a few years ago, but the REAL money is in pandering to the fan of the original game. It's kinda like Optimus Prime. You give people a keychain with optimus prime, and you tell them they can pick an optimus, and give them the choice of G1, Armada, or bayverse, and the VAST majority are going to buy G1. All the 30-40year olds will buy it for nostalgia, and the younger crowd will buy it for the same reason there are Rainbow Brite t-shirts at Hot Topic... 80's stuff is popular.

They really don't need to do 5 versions of a character. They need to do the original 10 characters ASAP (7 selectables, 2 bosses, 1 hidden), and MK2, since that is arguably the most popular MK ever (and why 9 and X tried so hard to emulate that game). That's where the money is. No money in Deception, Armageddon, Dead Alliances, Special Forces, or anything else. The cyberninjas have a fanbase, but I don't see a whole lot of online love for Kabal, Fujin, Molock, Stryker, Nitewolf, etc. Obviously they should do them for completion's sake, but since Storm Collectibles has their tendrils out in so many varied game lines, I'd prefer they focus on one MK game roster at a time, rather than a few from MK, a few from MK2, a few from MK3, which is what it looks like they are doing.

anyway, we can run around in circles on the topic ad nauseam, but I'd rather focus on the figure in the topic, and avoid perturbing the mods with relatively pointless wishlists and conjecture.

I am interested in seeing what all effects they add for Ermac. Obviously the soul force telekenesis and armpulls, but They seem to like to have a few. I feel Subzero was shorted with his ice blast. It really needed a seperate mk2 lump of shard-like ice attached to a display stand.
