Thread 11520489

New figures go up for pre-order tomorrow.

The two-pack with Mileena and Sub-zero is a Wal-Mart exclusive that includes flight stands an a backdrop.

>>11520500
Wow, these look bad. Why couldn’t literally any other company get this license than McFarlane?

Included accessories

>>11520500
This is "mediocre custom that someone made 15 years ago"-tier

>>11520489 (OP)
They are so, so, sooo bad. Lol.

Kitana is a red platinum and will be available at Wal-mart, Target, GameSpot, an a few unspecified retailers. She's going to be available in limited quantities for the pre-order.

>>11520525
>$100+ figures with QC issues and characters made as limited event exclusives and almost zero females
My favorite!

>>11520516
I hope mk fans enjoy the todd mcfarlane experience. Keep a full tank of gas in the car, youre gonna be driving around a bit looking for these red platinums.

>>11520529
So youll take the same quality at a cheaper price? You may want to try out some multiverse figures before going all in on these.

>>11520544
I think Todd took ab cut a little too seriously with that Liu Kang, looks awful.

>>11520550
Woof, awful

>>11520548
I already have Multiverse. The line mostly suffered from having too many Batmsn figures and part reuses and didn't do classic characters until the very end of the line. Todd's had the MK license for years already and had been waiting until the Legacy Kollection was announced so he could do figures for the first three games.

His Johnny Cage from the period was pretty good, and is one of the more pricey figures on the aftermarket since Storm never made a Johnny Cage.

>>11520550
Please let me know if I’m exaggerating, but these genuinely might be some of the worst figures of all time

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mcfarlane figure posed in a way that looks natural.

>>11520554
In contrast the Storm version would have looked like this and been over $100.

>>11520561
Looks good

>>11520561
Storm resculpted the body multiple times too and each time it was terrible and shown as either Kitana or Mileena.

>>11520564
Looks great

>>11520561
Better

>>11520561
>>11520564
Storm has never been great at females, but when it comes to buff men, they excel.

>>11520525
Their MK line they never finished any of the casts-
>NO SHANG TSUNG FROM ANY GAME
>NO JOHNNY CAGE FROM ANY GAME
>NO SONYA BLADE FROM ANY GAME
>NO JAX FROM ANY GAME
>NO KITANA FROM ANY GAME
>NO MILEENA FROM ANY GAME
>NO JADE FROM ANY GAME

>>11520593
I’ve never understood this full roster autism with fighting game figures. Do you really need every single fighter? It’s not like they’re a team or anything. Just get the ones you like.

>>11520598
People want the full cast of any property, what's not to understand. For MK you at least want the cast of the first game.

>>11520489 (OP)
And what do they cost? Because given what Todd's prices are lately, I am doubtful any of these will be worth it.

>>11520828
$27

>>11520499
reminder that transparent plastic is more likely to break.

>>11520835
yep, not worth it

>>11520556
You're exaggerating, Todd has done way worse.

>>11520573
>dat Morrigan

What they did to her is just a crime.

>>11520876
Yeah he just did Atlan, which is one of the worst "action" figures he has ever made.

>>11520839
Depends on the quality of the plastic. I haven't had much issues with Todd's modern figures using the stuff.

>>11521087
They're modern so they have not had a chance to age and become brittle yet. Transparent plastics generally are naturally weaker than solid color types (maybe barring gold plastic).

Mcfarlane.....the cheap budget brand

Holy shit these look bad. The ninjas are ok but raiden looks as if hes shit himself and katana looks awful

I thought Sub Zero didn't have ice arms till Deception?

>>11521181
Yeah kind of a dumb gimmick for a second release. They should've just done P2 colors

>>11520525
>bad proportions
>looks like they were sculpted out of Play-Doh

>>11520561
oof

If this line succeeds I predict Goro, Shao Khan, Kintaro and Motaro will each be $60 Elite Editions.

>>11521226
but enough about todds toys

>>11521226
You used the wrong picture

>>11521181
An excuse to put a female chsracter in a two-pack since Todd says female figures don't sell as well. The Sub-Zero figure is supposed to entice you to buy the set and includes ice effect pieces and an extra head that the standard release won't come packed with. There's very likely to be a Scorpion and Reptile two-pack that have yet to be shown.

>>11521237
100% Shao Khan, Goro, and Kintaro happen. The full cast of MKII seem very likely to get done with the sheer number of already announced figures. They already have 7 characters and there's only 7 more if you exclude boss characters.
>Jade
>Smoke
>Shang Tsung
>Jax
>Johnny Cage
>Baraka
>Kung Lao

>>11520489 (OP)
And then they fucked?

>>11520521
>>11520526
>No effects peices
>No fatality alt heads
>pins in a figure in the year of our lord 2025 BCE
Todd's gonna charge $29.99 forsingle figures isn't he. Fucking asshole.

>>11520537
>character speacial move is kicking
>gives him tiny chicken legs
What did Todd maen by this?

>>11520499
I'm getting to the age where I hear exclusive and I give up collecting that particular shit entirely

>>11521585
Please understand, costs of action figure manufacturing skyrocketing, very smol independent company that doesn't need to make a profit but apparently actually does need to make a profit.

>>11521610
Even imports have exclusives. I can't imagine what doesn't

New pics. These will be up for pre-order at Wal-mart in about an hour.

>>11521683
Trying not to beat that diaper on female figures allegation, huh Todd?

>>11521683
The set includes 4 alternate hands, 2 alternate head portraits, Sub-Zero's Ice Grenade, Spine Rip Fatality, Spine Rip Fatality with a head peg, Mileena's twin sai, and Throwing Sai energy effects. Also includes 2 flight stands, fighting base with reversable backdrop.

>>11521683
>>11521688
What’s the price?

The diorama piece is reversible and includes ports for the flight stands.

>>11521688
I asssume they are making a regular sub zero as a single release too?

>>11521689
$69.99

>>11521692


>>11521691
Yes >>11521298 He's one of the basics. Two-packa come with effect and fatality parts and extra heads.

>>11521692
$70!?
Are you fucking kidding me? I thought it would be $50 max. What is Todd smoking?

Good luck anons.

>>11521700
If this sells out I’ll be genuinely disappointed in the toy collecting community. In no way is this shit worth $70.

>>11521703
It very likely will. There's a bit of hype about the line.

>>11521699
Considering what he’s trying to get for those deluxe figures now, he seems to want to be the in-between of cheap toys and high end ones, though I’m not seeing the value.

>>11521709
>There's a bit of hype about the line.
No there isn't

>>11521721
>No there isn't

>>11521725
Wow. Cool, mindless likes on social media? That never happens!

>>11521585
>No effects peices
Comes in the two-pack
>No fatality alt heads
Has fatility parts in the two-pack with a spine you can put a character head on. Blood and gore have also been done with past figures
>$29.99
Storm charged over $100 and was online only. These are mass retail.

>>11521740
The difference is, the storm figures were actually good and could pose. These mcfarlane figures look terrible and look so awkward in poses. >>11521692

>>11521298
>females don't sell
>literal coomer general on this board for female figures

Todd is retodded.

>>11521740
Hi Jason. Please stop viral marketing and defending your inflated prices. These figures are worth $25 MAX

>>11521700
>not sold out yet
it’s over

>>11521754
This is how collecting ends. The prices are raised far too high too fast, so that the customer cannot feel the product is worth it. In just 2022 these same figures would be 19.99. That is a 50% price increase in 3 years.

The basic version of Sub-Zero is now up!

https://mcfarlane.com/toys/mkk-sub-zero-7in/

>>11521760
Price wouldn't be a problem if they looked remotely decent. Integrate the joints properly into the sculpt, make them pinless, and give any amount of definition to the female molds, and I would happily buy into the line. As is, they look worse than the DC line.

>>11521764
McFarlane can't do quality anymore

Why didn't my wages go up 50% in 3 years like these figures?

>>11521762
And he's gone! Fuck you Amazon!

https://mcfarlane.com/toys/mkk-scorpion-7in/

So do the ninjas have an ab articulation or not? I see the cut on some shots of Sub zero but I don’t see them using it.

They’re on BBTS too

>>11521827
Probably. In the past they had soft plastic outfits over it.

>>11520598
>Just get the ones you like.
Sure, but the missing ones listed there are popular ones that a lot of people like. It's not like people are complaining about a missing Cetrion or Ferra/Torr here, these are A-listers.

>>11521827
A rule on McFarlanes: Just because the joint is there doesn't mean it's usable

>buying $30 McFarlanes with 2 or less accessories
I seriously hope you guys don't do this

>>11521871
These retards don’t even understand they are buttfucking themselves buying these at this ridiculous price

>>11521868
Oh I’m aware, I typically just pop them apart and make a deeper cut for the joint. Typically makes the figure better.

>>11521871
I was hyped when these were announced, saw the offering and price, now I'll wait for JADA to get the license in 2030. By then $30 will be worth it.

>>11521906
>2030
>$30
LOL they'll want $50 and do 2 a year with terrible QC and be online only.

>>11521875
Stop flooding the thread Storm-fag

>consider buying scorpion
>realize he doesn’t even come with two fists
Jesus christ

>>11521941
And because Todd made less than 6k units of everything they’ve sold out because of the minority of retards that just can’t help but consume. This price hike now looks like a success to everyone.
It’s over for domestic lines aimed at adults.

>>11521992
Don't fall for Todd false scarcity BC. remember the 89 batmobile. sold out fast and everyone scrambling to get one. Then Amazon put it back up the following, ends up going on sale. BBTS still has the on preorder.

>>11522000
My point is it looks like a success

>>11522000
Don't listen to this fag, they still haven't re-issued the Platinum Wonder Woman who sells for $200.

>>11522027
>Platinum Wonder Woman
Bro, are you new to the Todd experience. He hates women figures. He's said this multiple times in interviews. They don't sell. It's why he orders so few to be made and causing the prices to go high. artifiacial scarcity bro.

These are like, the worst excuse for fighting toys out there.

>>11522017
>>11521992
Its only sold out at ee and Amazon atm. Who knows how many they ordered?

>>11522027
>>11522059
>>11522061
>>11522092
why bother Trump killed this hobby.

Todd, I thought maybe you would at least try to make the prices reasonable given the figures coming with basically nothing. I thought there was a chance at $25, I thought you might be able to get me to at least consider one figure. But I was wrong. For this low effort at 30 bucks, you can go home and be a family man.

So how long before McFarlane Toys is out of business? All the recent stuff they've shown off looks like absolute shit. Still shitty sculpts, bad articulation, still using joints with pins, less accessories, PLUS new insane prices! The $60 line that has most figures looking like regular $30 releases is a fucking joke and these MK two packs aren't much better! Repainted bodies that were already shitty and a piece of cardboard makes for $35 per figure??? Losing the DC license looks to have put Todd in a tailspin

Contrary to what some people were saying above due to the early Amazon and EE sell outs, these figures are selling somewhat slowly compared to current McFarlanes--from what can be gleaned so far. The 2 pack exclusive has not yet sold out at either location. Subzero and Scorpion are only sold out at 3/7 locations. Liu Kang at 2/7 locations. More than likely the sell outs indicate Amazon, EE and McFarlane's store carried low stock compared to the other locations. Kitana isn't even sold out yet despite being "RED PLATINUM."

>>11522189
>The 2 pack exclusive has not yet sold out at either location
Wal-mart tends to take orders well past when they've run out then suddenly tells you your pre-order is cancelled days or months later. Gamestop often does the same, where if we're lucky to get a pre-order they cancel them anyway.

>>11522256
Walmart ordering is direct from mcfarlane now

>>11522257
So distribution will be extra shitty!

>>11522260
>So distribution will be extra sassy!

Deathstroke will be the last mcfarlane product I’ll ever purchase. Seriously hope all those illegals get rescued from Todd the coyote mcfarlane

>>11521289
Why do they all look as if their hunche backs?

>>11521906
>>$30
No way, not for figures with pins.
I’d totally pay that I’d they were pinless.

>>11521692
Is this a joke price?
69.99
Scale completely wrong
Both figures look more budget made than jada

>>11522376
Oh the price is very real, and apparently--if rumors are to be believed--by winter, every other domestic company will be mirroring it.

Cant belive these badly sculpted, painted, and poorly articulated figures sold out at these over inflates prices. Can these pieces of garbage even do a ninja sliding kick pose? And just look how terribly sculpted the arms are...their is no muscle definition. Dont even get me started on the female ninjas. Mcfarlane toys needs to hurry and go bankrupt already

Bbts seems to have bought enough to last for years

>love MK II Sub-zero
>storm collectibles only did MK I and III ninjas
>most MK figs are based on current game
>finally get MK II figs
>it's McFarlane

>>11523274
Storm's were based on MKII though

>>11523287
You're right, I thought these were the MK I design for some reason. Still impossible to find nowadays, and they never did any reissues. I could only find MK III Reptile for the longest time, or a 1/6 scale of Sub-zero's classic outfit from MK 11

>>11523296
Whoops forgot the pic

>>11523274
Don't cave and buy them. These figures are not worth $30

Despite there being newer and fancier figures my favorite mortal kombat figure is simply the deception figure from the early 2000s of subzero.

Yet they still can't cut a remotely decent looking elbow joint. It doesn't cost any more to do so either, it just takes someone who isn't incompetent making the figure.

Looks like these figures aren't going to sell out. At $30 for so little it'd be crazy if they did.
