I disagree though about making 5 versions of "flagship" characters. That is a quick way to put yourself out of business, because not all people are fans of those flagship characters (I'm not a fan of Scorpion or Sub-zero, but like many of the other ninjas, especially Reptile and Rain.) What SC is doing right now is a cheap and easy way to get multiple characters out, changing the accessories and colors where appropriate while capitalizing on the nostalgic value of the franchise. It also helps to guage interest down the line for other figures, and I full expect them to follow this pallate-swap trend in the future once they get around to some of the female "ninjas" like Mileena, Kitana, Jade, Tonya, and Scarlett, should they get that far.
Remember the failure of Capo Toys and their Street Fighter line? All they offered was Ryu in all of his different player colors in the beginning, and the fans killed the line before it ever got started with the backlash, as many fans were more interested in some of the other characters that were promised.
You are correct, i have forgot about Reptile and his Change of Evolution.
Of course they shall not Produce Ninjas over and over again, it was just an advice
to create Scorpion in another 1-2 Outfits, Hanzo Hasashi would be a must have.
At your example with Capo Toys just producing only Ryu; that is was what i wanted
so say all the time; Storm C will
FAIL if they stick their beloved MALE Ninjas ONLY
.
But as you said, i also hope for a Pallate Swap soon, as i also would like to own a Jade Figure.
My biggest fear here is again, that they will Stop / abort the entire Line,
before we got something else than the Male Ninjas.
They dived into Mortal Kombat 3 already, with showing Cyrax Prototype Figure.
So i beg that they continue with this, because i also LOVED Cyrax and Sektor back in the MK 3 Days.
And they rivalry was also something Special (As seen in MK9) Cyrax was the good one,
while Sektor was the Villain.
Anyway, Liu Kang with Dragon and Cyber Ninjas would be an Instant Pre order for me.
