@@NostalgiaUnboxed as a mk fan subzeros action figures are bad but the stom collectibles is very good(sup again I'm from the Deadpool and wolverine video
The Mezco Mortal Combat X figures from back in the day were pretty decent, especially for their price point, but also they didn't go very deep into the character roster sadly.
The mezco mk figs were highly detailed, nice paint, that's about it. Very small (maybe true 1/12th scale) not much articulation, very limited range of motion. Crazy how mezco is known for their articulation and clothe goods but the MK line did not have that.
3:00 yes, we have a hole on the skull right next to the eyeholes. You never see it in a skull toy because it is hard to make a mold of it, and everyone simplifies it. Love your videos !
Most third parties these days are trying to do something better than the officially licensed products. JM Toys saw the Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat line and said “we’re going to make our soft goods Subzero less posable than hard plastic and rubber.” The pants are supposed to on the baggy side, there’s no reason why they’re so tight on the body.
I pre-ordered this when I first saw it on 5k months ago. Saw a few other videos showing how bad it was when it released. I was happy to sacrifice $15 rather than spend the additional $70+ shipping to own this frozen turd… great video btw 😂
5kt just refunded my deposit for a figure a week ago (2nd payment link wasn't working) so maybe that sacrifice doesn't have to be one. They don't really make the policy clear but worth a shot!
I almost was able to look past that games faults cause the gimmick of mortal kombat except side scroller beat em up was so awesome to me as a kid but nah it did suck
You’re the reason I purchased my God of War Kratos I’m glad I did.Therefore I patiently waited for this exact review and I won’t be purchasing that Sub-Zero.. Thanks in advance
I was so let down by this one too. I said a lot of the same things in my review, I was even more frustrated when I took the figure apart and the body is actually really posable and can hit all the martial arts poses you could want. How they decided to make the pants be SO inflexible is a baffling choice. So much for that MK VS DC stop motion I was planning with my Mezco Batman, this guy can neither kick nor run away.
@@umarheadcutter7189 there are plenty of great third party figures, and they encourage the first party to do better. This particular figure just happens to suck.
I have collected action figures all my life and i am presently 48. One of the most confusing things in this hobby for me is the debate about the superiority of cloth goods figures. If u can't remove the cloth goods and change them at leisure, what exactly is so good about them? MEZCO for example generally charges around $100 for a licensed figure that is completely draped in soft goods. The soft goods are permanently in place, the possibility/articulation is NOT the best and the figures are more delicate and easier to damage as a result. I like soft goods in a limited capacity. Capes, jackets, coats, cover-alls or pieces that are easy to remove and clean. I don't need cloth that is permanently affixed to my figures especially when it is going to cost more than a standard action figure. Soft goods are supposed to be affordable and interchangeable like weapons and equipment on G.I.Joes. I see Monster High dolls that come with 5 complete outfits and storage and better articulation for $50!!!🤷🏽♂️
They can certainly make or break something. The Mezco Casey is spectacular. Maybe that's because he has sweat pants versus something like jeans. They can limit the articulation, but when done right I would take a full setup all day. I can't stand the look of the Mezco Spiderman figures and I worry the new Deadpool won't be great because of the coveralls style costume.
@demetricsmith471 for me it's the realism. The fit matters. You can still get megos for 20 of less but they're not the same quality. A lot of third parties have a lower price point for a great figure.
@@johnsee7360 realism… I get itwhen it’s a movie character, but half of those characters are cartoon characters with no texture. There is no reason why a Mezco comic book Spidey should have limiting tightw on. Anyway, I think if people want cloth goods per sé, they shouldn’ complain about limited articulation. There’s gonna be a trade-off by simple physics.
You clearly don't own a mezco yeah the cloth goods is one thing but they are definitely high quality i cant even dropped the figures multiple times and they never break and they can even stand and balance on one leg and i even do stop motion with them
There needs to be some sort of rule for action figure's soft goods! 1. The clothes need to have some degree of moveability. 2. If the clothes are tight-fit, you need to use some kind of elastic fabric or maybe a spandex. 3. If the clothing material should be a non-flexible material, the clothes need to be a bit baggier.
Woah woah woah… “It’s 3rd party so you get 3rd party quality” most of the best figures I’ve ever even seen are 3rd party or unlicensed. This is a very unique situation
I was really looking forward to getting this when I pre ordered it. Got it and was severely disappointed. I reached out to 5K asking if there was a return or credit option, we went back and forth, I tried everything they asked recorded videos of the hands not fitting or falling off, sent a picture of the head sockets showing they won't fit. They accepted the return in the end, but were very difficult the whole time. In their last email they said they opened one up and it had none of the problems I stated, said that JM Toys told them they saw nothing wrong with the figure from my videos, then said I should watch reviews before buying next time. Really disappointed in their customer service. I was polite and willing to do what they asked to get it to work properly, but after weeks of back and forth it was just not working. Then to try to guilt me, and place the blame on me was especially disappointing.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Thanks. I'm hoping it was just that specific person who wasn't having it, not trying to crap on 5K as a whole, because I've liked getting stuff from there in the past. Also I have really been enjoying your videos and reviews by the way! Really like your honesty and sense of humor.
Elected to not fulfill my pre-order and I'm glad I didn't. I actually decided not to get it a while back, but your in-depth breakdown makes me not regret my decision. I guess if you just stand it on a shelf and not pose it or move it, that's something? :( For $85 this is just insanity. At least you've done a community service by being robbed so we don't have to lol.
That's criminal as hell to charge 85 bucks on a poorly manufactured figure that would be considered a freakin prototype. Glad, they won't be doing anymore MK figures from here on out. Leave the MK figure manufacturing to McFarlane and Storm. At least they give a shit
Pretty sure Storm Collectibles has tons of original MK designs as well as other fighting games. They're definitely WAY more expensive than Jada Toys but have tons of accessories and match the MK designs of the time you're looking for.
@@bunnymaan yes but they're more statue than action figures. That's why they're the statue price. On the secondary markets they probably are double. I want figures to scale with other toylines. To me it looks dumb, to have a small character a lot taller than others. Or a small character almost as tall as a tall character. Like the McFarlane Mk figures. Kitana is almost as tall as sho Kahn.
@@patrickmcgavin2245Storm Collectibles is a 7-in scale line, similar to McFarlane and Marvel Select.. if you want MK figures in scale with Jada Toys and Hasbro products, go for the Mezco MK line... they are now rare though but they were good a decade ago...
The worst figure I ever bought was Smaug from The Hobbit movies. I Pre-Ordered it. I think I waited over a month. It was $80. I was so excited. Hasbro/WizKids has been making dragons for Dungeons and Dragons for years. Surely, the Grandfather of all Dragons would beat all of them?!? Nope. Tried to put it together. It couldn't even stand up and the tail kept falling off. It only had two legs, and the wings weren't designed to help distribute the weight. It would just flop forward and pop the wings off. I actually returned it, and they took it back no questions asked. The ironic part is they are rare now and go for $200 on eBay.
100% agree! That figure is one of the most underwhelming figures for the price that I have in my collection. I was envisioning it to be either SH Monsterarts quality or at least similar to the old FellBeast figure in size for $80. When I got this thing I felt so ripped off. Mine actually went together OK but couldn't stand and the wings were floppy. I have him laying flat. The detail isn't very sharp and not very much useful articulation. I did keep mine but every time I see it I can't believe they felt like that price was appropriate. Eventually on the website they did have them marked down to $15, which I think should have been the retail price to begin with.
@@dragonosx The price of the Smaug was the original price of the Colossal Red Dragon from Wizards of the Coast. That one blows Smaug completely out of the water.
@@DaveDeVault Yeah that Red Dragon is a favorite of mine too. At least the new McFarlane Smaug is an improvement in terms of sculpt but would love to get an articulated and detailed Smaug some day.
Agreed. The underlying body (once you get him out) is outstanding. It’s the clothes (specifically the pants) that are way too restrictive. Also, the neck covering and forearm gauntlets need to be modified to enable better head articulation and improve the hand / wrist pegs.
Bro I am so happy you made this video 😂!!! I am a huge fan and supporter of the awesome 3rd party action figure companies on 5ktoys and Toyzmetaverse and usually for good reason! When I received this steaming pile of turd i couldn’t believe how crappy it was and couldn’t even move his legs for Heaven’s sakes lol!
You can pop his shoulders out fairly easily actually. Once they are out, the tunic slides over and forwards. I ended up cutting off his pants and giving him a pair of black sweatpants instead which made a a WORLD of difference. You also have to do some mods / removal of the stupidly stiff neck / chest hard plastic cover, and some trimming on the wrist gauntlets to enable the hands to actually peg in effectively. It sucks that we have to do this on an $85 figure out of the packaging, but once you make some fixes, he actually is quite neat.
I’ve heard so many mixed things about what 5K toys puts out and I’ve stayed away from them just in case I didn’t want to deal with potentially sub par product. I guess I’m glad I did 💀
5ktoys is just a store. No different than buying a bad figure from Target. If you haven’t seen many of my videos you’ll learn that I cover a LOT of 5k stuff and this is the first time I’ve experienced this kind of figure.
Me again, I’ve heard that by heating up the gauntlet and you slide it up enough to expose the hand peg can fit the hands which are a pain in the butt 👍🏼
Back when I broke my arm when I was 12, the doctor told me I needed to regularly move my fingers or I'd end up with hot dog fingers. Maybe that's what happened to poor Sub Zero here? 🤷♂️
It seems that third party can vary greatly in terms of quality. I bought the "Demon Killer" totally not Illidan from Warcraft from Hero Toys. The one I received had the wrong wing joint. Contacted the seller and they managed to get a replacement sent. I am pretty happy with how that turned out and will be getting a few others. The Storm King (Varian), Frost Knight (arthas), Qing Li (Chen Stormstout). Memory Toys also has a Necromancer up for preorder I have considered. Arthas is from Titan Toys. I did see Titan Toys updated Arthas with light up LED eyes and they also lengthened the blade of Frostmourne and refined the boots.
Nope. According to 5k the company (JMToys) is going to issue replacements in 1-2 months. If that comes in and is worth it, I will absolutely make a follow up and push it for a Scorpion (and others)
I was so tempted to get this. Really sucks they didnt bother to fix the issues and i assume just decided that the brand would carry sales. Hope if they do more characters they do better.
5k (the site I got it from) told me the company (JMToys) will be issuing replacements in 1-2 months. We shall see. I will absolutely make a follow up if I get a replacement.
Man i wanted this soooo badly.. hahaha. This just popped up in my feed and I'm glad I didn't just buy it all those 50 times I looked at it, drooling over it. You've saved me a bunch of times with figures like this that I think I want. Hahaha good ole nostalgia for the save
I don't think I've ever watched a youtube video with as many ads as this one has had. I swear there been atleast 5 ads breaks each containing muitple ads so far and I'm just in abit over 8 minutes.
The legs will go higher but the pants will tear. You won't see the tear...I also had to redrill the hand holes to allow the pegs to attach better. At this price point you should definitely not have these issues.
Hey at least you got some cool weapons for the McFarlane Sub-Zero, but $85 for that should be a crime and the team behind it should really reflect on it.
Crap...I bought it as well, I won't even take it out of the package now. it looked so cool too, thanks for the review, you had this madhatter had that dumb krang Android body thing😄 I hope the end of the year brings us some better figures
@@anthonybianchi3726 haha two bad figs for 12 months isn’t too bad. Hopefully it stays that way. I told 5k about the broken wrist and they said the company is making replacements (whatever that will really mean) in 1-2 months
I had hopes for this I nearly died from laughter Within 5 minutes Head sculpts get a meh The soft goods looked pretty good Hand pegs were sad My heart goes to you And everyone that bought this horrible figure Thank you for the review!
Mortal Kombat X and injustice 2 subzero versions were the best due to being fast in combos and fun especially in tournament plays also i remember i used to have Mk 9 Scorpion and Sub-Zero big figs and the Klassic ones version Sub-Zero, Scorpion,Sektor,Cyrax,Cyber smoke but too bad i sold them all back in 2018 to pay some bills 😢😢😢.
it's like the coolest figure that they messed up so bad too! mkx is popsicle's coolest design ever and i was so hyped about it :[ it makes sense though, they showed pretty much no progress on him besides the pre-order thumbnail popping up until release. everybody say, "thank you mr. jonathan unboxed!"
Greetings from Fuquay Varina: Have you used Kiki's fix loose joints? It works very well in the joints of figures that lose posture over time. I know you shouldn't do it in a new figure but if this is the only problem I think it's okay. The figure looks very good, it just needs to fix the joints. LOL 🤘😹🤘🎸

The ball peg is on the spine so you can put other figures' heads on it. Kinda cool idea so he can fatality other figures.

That's very kind, but wish to do content like YOU some day (start now)
I got this for customizing, and was hoping this would lead to a scorpion being made next but i dont have high hopes that will happen anymore
Nope. According to 5k the company (JMToys) is going to issue replacements in 1-2 months. If that comes in and is worth it, I will absolutely make a follow up and push it for a Scorpion (and others)
I was so tempted to get this. Really sucks they didnt bother to fix the issues and i assume just decided that the brand would carry sales. Hope if they do more characters they do better.
5k (the site I got it from) told me the company (JMToys) will be issuing replacements in 1-2 months. We shall see. I will absolutely make a follow up if I get a replacement.
Man i wanted this soooo badly.. hahaha. This just popped up in my feed and I'm glad I didn't just buy it all those 50 times I looked at it, drooling over it. You've saved me a bunch of times with figures like this that I think I want. Hahaha good ole nostalgia for the save
It sucks, but glad I could help
I don't think I've ever watched a youtube video with as many ads as this one has had. I swear there been atleast 5 ads breaks each containing muitple ads so far and I'm just in abit over 8 minutes.
Now 6 ad breaks at 10 minutes. This is straight up weird now.
I don't know what to say. The length of the ad breaks and the quantity of breaks is all dependent on YOUR youtube history,
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Right, I wasn't talking negative about your review just so you know. I was just amazed lol
me in sub zero cosplay lolno kickin here lol
lol!
I want a compilation of Johnny chuckling then muttering "So stupid..."
Two hours long
The legs will go higher but the pants will tear. You won't see the tear...I also had to redrill the hand holes to allow the pegs to attach better. At this price point you should definitely not have these issues.
@@hard2findtoysllc999 agreed. I know the body is great under all this, but what a mess
A master at his craft, thank you fine sir.
Haha thank you
Jeez, and we thought the fox was bad from super 7. Thanks for taking that hit and showing us. Hope the wolverine has better chance 🤔🫡
Luckily that’s a different studio
Just subbed I create content myself looking forward too watching. It’s a good sign because you look like a Spider-Man variant and I’m all for it bro
hahaha, yeah, I have been told since the first Tobey Spiderman that I looked like him lol
Dang... I was hoping this company would eventually pick up where Storm left off and make some of the missing characters Storm never got to.
Same
Im old enough to remember that subzero origin game. Loved it
So hard!
cheesy fries. and a johnny video 🗿
Yummy
Oohhh I almost got this one, thanks man this is a huge warning for me 😂
Glad I could help
Hehehe compilation
1:08 2:35 2:45 3:03 3:22 3:31 3:43 4:01 4:56 4:59 5:40 6:07 6:33
Take a drink when you hear the laugh.
I stopped counting at 6:33.
ok
I was tempted to get this and review it but couldn't bring myself to buy it.
Save the money
Are there links to show custom fixes 😅
i don't know
Hey, look on the bright side you have a sub-zero oufit that you can use on any of the more Superior 1/12 bodies to make your very own figure.😅
lol
Time to donate his clothes to the dollie Goodwill (accessories bin) for better toys to enjoy! lmao
Hahah yeah
Hey at least you got some cool weapons for the McFarlane Sub-Zero, but $85 for that should be a crime and the team behind it should really reflect on it.
totally
Crap...I bought it as well, I won't even take it out of the package now. it looked so cool too, thanks for the review, you had this madhatter had that dumb krang Android body thing😄 I hope the end of the year brings us some better figures
@@anthonybianchi3726 haha two bad figs for 12 months isn’t too bad. Hopefully it stays that way. I told 5k about the broken wrist and they said the company is making replacements (whatever that will really mean) in 1-2 months
I’m so glad I didn’t purchase this figure! Excellent review!
Thank you
I had hopes for this
I nearly died from laughter
Within 5 minutes
Head sculpts get a meh
The soft goods looked pretty good
Hand pegs were sad
My heart goes to you
And everyone that bought this
horrible figure
Thank you for the review!
A beautiful poem
@@NostalgiaUnboxed thank you again kind sir!
ty for saving me money on this
You bet!
Your’e a savage 😂 I’m ready to hear your opinion on this. Im here because of the thumbnail
@@SickestToyz 😂
I literally had this in my cart to pre-order but another figure caught my eye so I waited... glad I did.
Glad you did too
What is that jubilee figure in the background?

9:50 he can barely even t pose lmao
It’s bad
I would definitely send this back. This is so bad that it couldn’t even be given away.
true
Dark Seid gives him a run for his money.
oh yeah?
"hehehehe so stupid" 😂
😂
waiting for it to drop down in price on gundamit and buy it for the soft goods tunic/vest and add those to a mezco ragnorok thor.
Haha nice
Bro no way I see this after I just ask my make-a-wish for it 😭
@@T-Brandcow wrong wish
I would love to see a TH-cam short of him barely in any poses 😂. His trying to kick but can’t kick kick
Maybe I should have. It's so time consuming to do that stuff for other videos and I was just to made at this with the hands
I ALMOST ordered this just to have it but for the price I can't justify it with how terrible it is. It really is a shame
Totally
12:39 LOL I love you
@@cazz8017 I hate it lol
Thanks for the heads up bro…
You bet
You may don't like it, but I would make a great upgrade work on this bad boy. ^^
go for it
Jonathan....Finish Him!!!!! That's a bummer this figure is a disappointment.
Haha I should have
Damn I am so glad I didn’t pick this one up. I was on the fence.
Dodged one
everyone burns out on the IP before they make a Sindel. it bums me out lol
Maybe one day
Mortal Kombat X and injustice 2 subzero versions were the best due to being fast in combos and fun especially in tournament plays also i remember i used to have Mk 9 Scorpion and Sub-Zero big figs and the Klassic ones version Sub-Zero, Scorpion,Sektor,Cyrax,Cyber smoke but too bad i sold them all back in 2018 to pay some bills 😢😢😢.
@@joandarc441 oh dang!
it's like the coolest figure that they messed up so bad too! mkx is popsicle's coolest design ever and i was so hyped about it :[ it makes sense though, they showed pretty much no progress on him besides the pre-order thumbnail popping up until release.
everybody say, "thank you mr. jonathan unboxed!"
Super7 only shows renders, so at least these people had real items 😂
Greetings from Fuquay Varina:
Have you used Kiki's fix loose joints? It works very well in the joints of figures that lose posture over time. I know you shouldn't do it in a new figure but if this is the only problem I think it's okay. The figure looks very good, it just needs to fix the joints. LOL
🤘😹🤘🎸
Hello. The joints aren’t the problem at all. They are actually fantastic. You’ll see in the video
it kinda hurts case I wanted a sub zero from mkx badly as a figure
Absolutely
Man I was really just about to order this thanks for the review
Glad I could help
Dude! I'm all about this sub-zorro now 🧐😅❤
lol no
I'm so glad I didn't get this one. Thanks for the review.
No problem!
Sub-Zero was always my favorite as well. I remember finally finding the Hasbro figure at Kaybees. It stinks that this figure doesn't deliver.
Yeah 💔
Dude got so much bad rep i just let my preorder cancel
Dang
Definitely the saddest figure I've seen in quite some time, hopefully this vid gets enough engagement that the ads cover the cost.
haha, I don't want to have paid anything for this
MK11 Kano: "Would You Settle For Me SaUsAgE fInGeRs??"
lol
I remember watching the announcement of this figure on Instagram and it really got me hyped, after watching this video i really don't know what to say
We all feel the pain of a broken heart now haha
Oh man. I almost bought it. The cloth pants stopped me. Cloth pants for figure that is going to be played with is a no no for me.
I have had several with cloth pants that work incredibly well. This is the exception
I was seriously thinking about picking this guy up and now I'm really glad I didn't. Jada toys, give us some good 1/12 Mortal Kombat figures!
Need it
