@@mrcootes489 dude that's a hard sacrifice , when it comes to mk figures I usually buy from McFarlane even though storm collectibles knocks McFarlane out of the park.
So far I only have the mortal kombat spawn figures. I’ve seen the McFarlane Shao Khan at my local toy store and man is it calling my name. It looks so good. I haven’t quite fallen down the rabbit hole of the McFarlane MK figs yet but I’m just about there 👀
Love that classic helmet especially with that mk11 default skin in the game. Maybe mcfarlane can do the battle regalia skin with the classic helmet and perhaps with a translucent green wrath hammer? Since they do alot of variants anyway.
Great comparison! I was hoping someone would show these side by side. Storm Collectibles Shao Kahn is absolutely a grail of mine. Still can't believe I didn't just pick it up when BBTS still had it. I actually saw the McFarlane one in my local Target the other day and decided to pass. I'm just holding out hope that Storm either does another version of Shao Kahn or they reissue this one at some point since they were asking on Twitter early last year if people wanted to see anything come back into the line.
@@ManBoyManMan I did happen to see that and pre-ordered so quick my wallet didn't know what hit it lol. I'm extra excited since it's my fav version of him! Thanks for the heads-up!
All storm collectors look like ps3 game characters, over stretched wide and very unnatural, imo. Also it's OK, I'm a vanilla poser by heart, not gifted like others.
The MK2 looks like a badass barbarian! And that's what comes to your mind when you say Shao Kahn, I bought the bloody version because there is no clean version available and it seems that it will never be another chance to get an MK2 shao Kahn, also storm collectibles are preparing the mk9 shao kahn and will be amazing BUT this MK2 one will remain unique!!!
I do like the the x belt thing on the chest of the storm Shao kahn! The gold Shao Kahn is so badass too. I do appreciate the silver Shao Kahn McFarland I got this week though.
The real Shao Kahn hit the nail on the head there on that intro 😂😂😂 (they really did Shao Kahn dirty in MK 11 along with others like Sindel (especially), Noob Saibot, Skarlet, ect....). I personally prefer storm collectibles cause it's got everything I've always wanted as an MK fan with figures with the design and the awesome accessories that come with it and the bios on the box just show how much love they have for the franchise. Plus, Storm collectibles seems to be wanting to do every version of Mortal Kombat, while McFarlane seems to only have the rights to do MK 11 characters. Also the McFarlane line just does way too many Spawn figures and too many lazy repaints of figures for MK (honestly feels like he doesn't really want to do the MK line and only is because of the deal to get Spawn in MK 11). The Storm collectibles Shao Kahn is definitely the best and is definitely my favorite out of the line so far (can't wait for Kitana, Mileena, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Shang Tsung figures they've shown/teased to finally come out).
When I bought Motaro I liked how he fit in scale wise with my Mcfarlane MK so I had just enough $$ to either get a used loose Shao Kahn or Brand new Goro! So I went with a Goro! Hoping for a Sheeva & Kitaro one day!!🤞🤞
If more of the McFarlane MK figures scaled with legends and such I'd buy more. Only got Spawn and Shao Kahn and I just got Kahn. They seemed like they'd scale well with 6in figures.
I think McFarland Shao Kahn is a little bit small. In 2 & 3, he’s noticibly bigger than normal characters. Storms looks almost too big, but storms looks like he’d def win n a fight. McFarland got cheap on us. Spend that extra plastic, I will pay off.
Oh yeah and the storm version the paint rubs off to easily on the spikes I had to repaint with a special paint cause most paints won't work on the rubber oh yeah and all the spikes are rubber
I’m not one to spend a lot of money on my action figures. I have paid twice the price for a figure I missed upon release but that has never exceeded $40. I think price is a big deal when it comes to collecting figure series. I might impulse buy a $20 figure but there is no way I would impulse buy a $100 figure. I think McFarlane’s Khan is way better because of the limitations of the production costs, not in spite of them. Limitation breeds creative solutions.
I like the McFarlane figs more. I got Goro and Motaro tho from Storm. Too many quality issues with Storm for me. Does anyone even have an original Raiden with intact belt? Lol. Also way......... too much $500 for a figure is stupid
Mcfarlane figs are fragile as hell though. My Arkham Batman had a little accident falling off the shelf and his foot broke off. Still Storm figs are also fragile and it's hell of a lot easier to replace a 20-25 dollar figure.
@@AxeCrazyAutobot I'm not sure any figures can survive falling off a shelf lol that's not on McFarlane. Only one I can think of is LJNs WWF line. Storm has too many issues at that price point especially the delicate accessories and the wrists splitting. Storm should pack extra wrists not pegs 🤣
I have both but the storm collectibles is a little to floaty the shoulder pads helmet and then the hammer bends to easily I really wish McFarlane did classic MK
Man, I keep hoping to land a storm copy of him. Bloody or not. I learned about Storm Collectibles too late to preorder him. Wish they’d put out another but his appearance hasn’t really changed much up until recently, so they probably can’t justify it much with another version of the figure. Just got the McFarlane figure recently, it looks alright but doesn’t feel like a fair comparison after watching this 😆
Yeah unfortunately being late for storm collectibles is shitty for huge mortal Kombat fans. Shao Kahn isn’t a dollar under 350 bucks nowadays and you should definitely jump on Kung Lao before it’s too late. Whether you like the character or not it looks awesome.
Love em both. Cant afford storm though....
Yeah storm collectibles is too pricey.
I'd have to give up buying food to do storm collectables.
That being said id be one malnourished happy bastard.
@@mrcootes489 dude that's a hard sacrifice , when it comes to mk figures I usually buy from McFarlane even though storm collectibles knocks McFarlane out of the park.
I'm one of the very few who prefers the mcfarlane one, a lot more to it and very reasonable price, price point should be $40+ imo.
5:30 I laughed way harder at that quote than I should have! 🤣
NO WAY MORTAL KOMBAT FIGS you’re awesome dude if you can find noob saibot that would be awesome can’t wait for the movie
Mcfarlanes next figure coming out from the MK line is going to be Noob Saibot. He looks bad ass dude.

the mcfarlane is the best one for people who want to play or just cheap figures with decent articulation
If I knew Storm existed earlier I would have coped em all
I wish I could get goro it's sad how much he goes for
Love the figures! Thank you for sharing them with us! Love both Storm and Mcfarlane versions.

I have a custom Kotal Khan and looks good with mcfarlane shao khan. I want storm collectibles but its $ 300 plus.
I prefer storm, I just like the mk2 shao design way more than mk11 design

Can't beat storm collectibles. I have the original sub-zero, scorpion & reptile releases - awesome figures
Great Comparison! 👐
That Storm MK Throne is just a big piece of plasticized pvc lol
It would be cool in you can take off the mask for the mk 11 figure
