First up, Sub-Zero!

Mezco Mortal Kombat X Sub-Zero Photo Shoot - The Toyark - News



Great figs, really well done.

[Joe Moore]

Yup, looks pretty darn good. The eyes seem a little lacking in detail, but the figure looks astounding otherwise. Psyched to see more.

[PukinDogsVF143]

I think I'll wait for the MK figures from Storm Collectibles. These don't impress me much and I prefer the klassic costumes anyway.

There is going to be a steep price difference between the Mezco ones and the Storm ones.

*sigh* The wait for the smaller MKX figures is killing me. Still some awesome shots there. One thing though...no ice ball? His hand looks like it has a hole for one to plug into.

I'm thinking of getting the 6 inch Sub-Zero though for display and giving the weapons to my 3.75 MK9 Subby. The ice hammer especially looks too small for the 6 inch version. It seems a lot bigger in the game.

Nope, no ice ball. I think that comes with the Previews version. And the Ice one from SDCC comes with dual knives.

[snake5289]

That seems like an odd bummer. He should always have the ice ball.

I'm aware of that. But I've been waiting for a good classic sub-zero and scorpion for as long as I can remember. I'd rather save my money and wait for those.

Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing them when they scale them down to proper size.

[En Sabah Nerd]

Well I'd say you started these galleries with the best of the wave, I don't have Raiden so I can't say for sure but Scorpion is definitely not on par with Sub-Zero.

[TheLongestDay]

WOW! These look incredible!!!

I dont collect 6" figures but I might have to try and snag a Sub-Zero at least.

[Trivial Psychic]

I've finally run into these in the wild, and sadly, I was a little underwhelmed. The details are incredible, but those eyes....ugh...they just kill the aesthetic for me. They are too small and poorly done, and since I don't have the steady hand to try and fix them myself, I ended up canceling my pre-order because of them.

I'm hoping the Previews exclusives coming up have better paints on the face.

Word of warning regarding Scorpion: his chain spears are made from a softer plastic and while this means they're harder to break it also means they will start to droop downward if you leave him in the "get over here" pose for actual display.

I would have liked his removable mask except for two things, it comes off very easily and the face underneath is just a normal face. Those are my only gripes with the figure and overall I'm really glad Mezco pulled these off.

[snake5289]

You think that brushing some superglue or something onto the chains would strengthen them and help keep them from drooping?

And I have to agree about the unmasked face. It should definitely be rocking his beard (that everybody seemed to grow at once) but the mask probably wouldn't fit over it properly.

[Dolemite]

Saw these in TRU yesterday. They're pretty sweet...I might have to pick up a Sub-Zero. Can't wait for the eventual Kano.

Seriously. If you're doing a removable mask on Scorpion and it doesn't reveal a skull, you're doing something wrong.

[En Sabah Nerd]

I also don't see a picture in the gallery but you can store his swords on his back. Using pictures 4 and 27 for reference, you slip the blades in between the black tips of the straps. The strap ends function as little clips and the swords hold rather well. It was a little tough to do the first time I wedged them in on my figure but it becomes easier after that.

[Harbinger]

I love how these look but they are drastically undersized, especially for their price. If they were marvel legends or even dvuc sized i mighta dropped the hammer but i like my figs to be somewhat compatible and these just arent with really any other line.

No, they're a proper 6" scale. Here's Sub-Zero next to a black series Sandtrooper. Both $20, both 6"

I had read somewhere that Mezco had ruled out Kano for future releases due to a perceived lack of popularity among fans, (not to mention poor lack of sales with previous lines that featured the character.) Has Mezco reversed this train of thought or announced anything?

[snake5289]

I hope they make Sonya. Anybody else will be an added bonus.

I see it with my eyes but in stores they just look soo much smaller. And since im a mad customizer i havent seen any heads that look proper size for the bodies. Dont get me wrong they look killer but i just hoped theyd be .....taller.

Okay gotta run C.H.U.D. 2 is on.

[evilekim]

Amazing pics! Really nice job!

I'm kinda surprised by some of the things you guys are saying on here. Especially considering the garbage that Jazwares put out.
Let's start with the eyes. When you see the packaged figures in the store, Mezco put a plastic cover over each figures head sculpt. The fact that you can see through this enough to judge the eyes is a shocker. Personally I like how they're done. When you look at Scorpion unmasked they look right. Maybe the mask throws you off.

Regarding the scale, they're 6" figures. No debate about it! What were you expecting?

Personally I'm very happy with these. I waited forever for MK figures(like you guys)and Mezco has far exceeded my expectations. If you guys want to pay a foreign company for overpriced figures go right ahead. I'm gonna stick with Mezco.

[TheBlueMarvel]

Oh, boy. It's very hard for me to resist 6" glow in the dark figs. Add to that the fact that it's Raiden and he actually features an Asian face sculpt (I'm still not sure how Christopher Lambert was cast as Raiden)...I guess I'll have to schedule rounds of visits to TRU in the coming weeks.
