Remember, the main market for Storm collectibles is China. This is what sells in china. Therefore, this is what they make. If a few westerners on a forum don’t like it, they have McFarlane as an option. I still see his Shao Kahn cooling on clearance shelves at my local target.

Agreed on the 80's/90's bigger than life representations, however, it’s hard to take Mortal Komabt seriously and I’ve no investment in playing arbiter over what is, or isn’t a proper depiction. As an acolyte of Sega, SNK and Capcom fighters, even as a teen, I never really regarded Midway’s game as anything more than spoof after having played it often in the arcade and on home consoles. And now that we are 11 games in, I still regard it as a game meant for casuals. Lol that’s certainly going to rile some fanboys…
