Why is it so difficult for companies to keep the Mortal Kombat license? They always get a few figures in and just give up. I don't even think we have a complete roster from one company as of yet.
That's a bummer that this figure got an L, but the reasons were obvious and valid with the hands and the heads not fitting on the ball joint because the hole is a bit smaller.
@@sirdork730 I recently purchased the “White Ghost” from Keepgoing studios. Just 50$ plus shipping. Great articulation and accessories. Its an amazing 3rd party fig.
Well, it's not that I hate it. I'm just not partial to it is what it is. I start messing with it and get dissatisfied. Then I remember the price and my dissatisfaction grows. It's just not a fun experience to mess with it or even look at it, for that fact. I put him back in box and put him the drawer with the socks I don't like.
Great review! Your channel is one of the best out there for getting fair pros and cons of toys, and your photog is always a great bookend! Really awesome stuff!
the peg hole for the hands are to small, drill to make them a little bigger and they go on now. For the pants you just have to replace or cut the seam to get them to spread. I 3d printed a new cylinder peg so the other heads fit on. To much work for a $85 figure.
It looks good I won’t lie but I’ve been seeing him on eBay for over $80. Honestly I’d be more than happy paying $50 even $60 shipped but not for the prices I’ve been seeing. I’ve been getting hot toys and sideshow collectible used figures for about $110 to $130 shipped with all the accessories and what not so I guess I’ve become picky but it still is a good looking figure!!
I mean it has its issues but I think it's pretty cool and also you should have tried putting the other head scopes on the spine because it seems like the spine could fit on those
I tried removing the gauntlets and the hands fit better, and in another video where someone replaced the pants the leg articulation was much better. It's a giant bummer that out of the box it's so stiff to pose and fragile to handle.
I mean it's pretty good. I think I would just make the pegs on the hands bigger with a bit of hot glue, and cut the pants so You separate them from the blue fabric and just change them for some more strechy
Sirdork, at 13:09,the ball joint at the spine gave me one question, are the sub zero heads with a different peg hole are for that spine? 😂, also I think the skull is for sub zero but on the figure.
Thanks for making another great video. This seriously bums me out! I need some good MK figures that I don’t have to take out another mortgage on my house to buy and was hoping these guys would come out with a line. I’m definitely gonna pass on this because I can tell the amount of frustration that would come along with it would make me really hate the figure. It does look tough though.
This is such a weird figure to me. They spent so much time on every sculped and cloth detail, making what I personally feel is the best looking MK figure out there, but failed on something as simple as getting the dimensions correct on the peg holes for the accessories. Kinda feels like a factory mixup to me; maybe someone somewhere got the wrong numbers for the peg hole dimensions and QC just never caught the issue.
I know you probably wont see this, but there's a third party figure called reaper by GMtoys. It's hunk from resident evil 2, and the figure is damn near perfect, I'm not even joking. My current favorite and most premium figure i own rn. But seeing it in your hands, and in front of your camera would be absolutely insane.
@@sirdork730 he would honestly work as any old grunt, since his outfit is just a uniform given out to everyone that goes into the branch he's a part of. If you ever decide to get the figure, I'd absolutely love to see the video. It looks good in videos and pictures, but in hand it's a whole other ball game. And the cloth doesn't hinder articulation like this figure
Just curious, can u put the other sub zero head on the spine accessory? So you could have someone like scorpion doing a fatality. Would make sense to why the peg hole is smaller, it could be meant for swapping the skull for a real head.
I will attend the premiere since I am a sub zero enjoyer but I have to ask, I started collecting 1/12 scale figures yesterday, for now I only have shf iron spider Any tips?
@@BringeSage awesome! 🙏 if you’re into marvel and Spiderman, there are tons of options! Some brands to looo for are Marvel Legends, SHF, Mafex, Mezco, Amazing Yamaguchi, and a popular bootleg brand is CT Toys (they are unofficial but very affordable!) good luck!
Much appreciated, I thought about some ‘standards’ for figures (like mafex being good at comic related figures, shf being for movies/anime, select for big people, neca for lots of franchises, it could help)
Do you own any Warhammer 40K figures from Joytoy? If so, do you have any reviews planned? I recently got my Space Wolf Intercessor and I love him! Lots of accsessiories, great atriculation (for a very bulky design) and the paint is immaculate!
He looks so good but some overlooks in the company has ruined it 😬 hopefully they learn from this figure and make some great ones in the future..cuz the head holes being the wrong size in 2 heads..yikes..and the hand problems like come on man. But great video man finally came across something about this figure thank you 😭🙌 glad it was you because love seeing the photgraphy at the end love it sm
Hey, thanks so much, dude I really appreciate it! If they announce they’re making a scorpion to match and mention that they have made improvements, I will definitely buy!
I agree with you sirdork I am positive with reviews too but jeez this figure was kinda cool but not worth the 87 clams but hey at least the soft goods are cool :/
I have that figure why do people hate on it? It’s not that bad. Not the worst articulation I think. But the joints sometimes get stiff I will admit that. I did have to heat up the hands tho.
I would not havve any patience with this figure at all. I hate it when things don't fit especially when you paid a freakinn fortune for hte figgie😅 THe shot is really cool tho, the figure is truely fotogenic.
Hey man! I hope you didn’t mind I gave you a little shout in the beginning 🤣 but dang I love the storm ones! They certainly look extra exaggerated compared to this guy though lol
I just bought this and this review has me questioning it now 😂 I have been after Sub-Zero for so long. I trust your judgment too much Iam second guessing it 😂
I think that's the general consensus is that it looks great but no one wants to spend money on something and then be constantly frustrated with it. Things like the one head not even being able to fit on the body is just unacceptable especially when they could have used the exact same piece in the base on the other head since it's a separate piece set into it. That and the several pairs of hands that just fall off constantly I can imagine is just no fun to play with. If someone is going to just plop him on a shelf standing there it's certainly a gorgeous figure the soft goods alone are impressive but they really have some serious QC issues to iron out to win collectors trust moving forward

This is the epitome of “Looks aren’t everything!” Joints are bad, strength and durability is bad, and articulation is bad, but looks good.
Like a lot of neca figures?

Very much a big bummer dude! Thanks for checking out the video too man!
It's crazy, it looks amazing but not a single person I know who has touched it has anything positive to say about it as a figure. Such a bummer.
Could you do a video on some of your best 3rd party collections?
I actually don't own that many! But I'll probably do more reviews in the future!

Your correct on the looks part and I’m sure it’s annoying to remove the hands!!! Love your channel!!!

Yeah, all a ton of work that no one should have to do for any product they purchase especially one that’s $85 🤣🤣
A spider joined scorpion into the fight X)
It did!! The little daddy long leg made an appearance! Lol

I mean it has its issues but I think it's pretty cool and also you should have tried putting the other head scopes on the spine because it seems like the spine could fit on those
It's like the makers didn't even bother to touch the figure before they tossed it in the box and shipped them all out
I think the other peg was meant to go on the spinal column?
I tried removing the gauntlets and the hands fit better, and in another video where someone replaced the pants the leg articulation was much better. It's a giant bummer that out of the box it's so stiff to pose and fragile to handle.
I thought about getting it just for the accessories and then I remembered I'd be paying 85 bucks for some weapons.

Hey thanks so much!
To me, the second head sculpt w/the smaller peg hole seems to be a tiny bit smaller head sculpt.
Does the spine ball fit the other smaller holes on the alternate subzero heads? The clear and slightly different head sculpt.
@@darthamrel I tried this afterwards actually and was still too small 🫠😭

Great vid 👍
Thanks for checking in out!!
Do you think the accessories (arm pieces, cloth top, etc) would fit on a storm collectibles mk figure like the reptile? Or they're too small?
Does the head with a different ball joint fit on the spine?
I actually tried this later on and it still doesn’t fit 😭😭😭
A cool figure, would love a rain figure to be made other than the storm collectibles one although they are amazing

This is a really great point! It almost doesn’t make any sense. How can something this incredible looking have such major mixups like this 🤔
Have you tried to check if the extra two heads could fit onto the ball peg on the severed spine?
I’ve been curious about that.
I think the peg on the spine could be for other figure heads like scorpions head form your McFarlane figure
Could you strip the clothes, accessories and head and swap out for a better body?
I guess in theory that could be possible 🤔 but I don’t think it’d work out too well getting things like the head to fit

I think he is a pretty cool figure ngl the shot was crazy as always ❤❤❤🎉
The figure is so cool which makes it that much more disappointing 😭 Thanks Pete!!
Will get on major discount if anything. Unfortunate because these figures take alot of time to make. They'll learn for next time i guess.
What editing app do you use
Adobe photoshop! Head to the channel and scroll to the editing playlist! I have tons of tutorials on different apps to use!
Cut the wrist armor, change the pants and it's a fun figure

I’m so glad to hear you had a better time with it!!
@@sirdork730 thanks lol. It did take me a around 10 to 20 minutes to fully keep the hands on so they wouldn’t fall off tho
Apart from the posability I think this one looks dope.
You’re absolutely right dude! The figure looks incredible but the functionality unfortunately is just frustrating 😭😭
This seems 10x better than Extreme Toys batman I got, it was so bad and so expensive it made me stop collecting.
I would not havve any patience with this figure at all. I hate it when things don't fit especially when you paid a freakinn fortune for hte figgie😅 THe shot is really cool tho, the figure is truely fotogenic.
Could you review ct toys agent venom or ct mafex 185

Don’t feel bad, for giving it a L. They didn’t execute it right, it’s a flawed figure

Storm Collectibles no longer had the license 😭
I understand not watching the WHOLE 20 minutes of the video but no watching until like 2 and a half minutes in is wild

Fixed mine. 😂
Sick
no one ever gets to sindel...
Yeah a sindel figure would be pretty cool actually!
Can you please make a transformers one video. On studioseries/yolopark?

Why is so serious?😂

ACTION figures needs to be more than just good looking, mind blowing, I know
It’s like you didn’t even watch the video
bruh the movement range sucks not worth it for the price
If you want a figure that looks good then get a statue instead
