Had high hopes for this Scorpion. When I first saw the pics my heart sank a little as I thought to myself "really, that's all it is?" I'm trying to like it buy it doesn't look like much sculpting at all went into this one. It's almost all wrapped in cloth! It looks neat but I was expecting so much more.

Yea it's plain but blame that on the old design.

I'm waiting to see close-up pics though. This one was sculpted by Jerry himself so there's a lot of excitement for it. I'm praying the price is reasonable enough. Never got a 1/3 statue before

I know it's on the old design. MK2 I believe. I'm not sure that I'm a big fan of the mixed media on statues. Mixed feelings about mixed media. So hard to keep it clean. With that said I doubt I'll pass on it.

I'm hoping the skull that was posted belongs to this one. I personally prefer Scorpion with a skull.

Will be my 2nd 1/3 statue even though I haven't received my 1st one yet. It's a predator. Should be getting it next month.

Yea I'm curious on whose skull head that is.. Still think it's Skeletor though..

Close-up!

Not too sure about the face, he looks old. Too much wrinkles. And for a museum pose, that scrunched-up face looks too much.
Wonder what he looks like under the mask..

Haha.. what luck! Both preorders at the time when I need to buy Assassin's Creed stuff

No Mortal Kombat fans here?

Liu Kang preorder is up today, less than 70 left for the EX version. I pre-ordered mine today

Ordered him.

Do we know who the next 1/3's are and any idea when they're coming? I don't want to order scorpion then have my preferred sub come out right after.

Cool! EX as well?

People who went to NYCC 2014 claims that Jerry told them 1/3 Subzero and Reptile are in the plans.. Along with a Boss. I'm thinking Shao Kahn. Not sure when they will be up though.

1/4 Klassic Raiden was teased in this week's newsletter which should also be up by the end of this year

Yep, thanks for the heads up. This thread is really paying off.

Hmm I guess I'll (try) pass on scorpion then. If I could only afford 2 out of 3, I'd prefer sub and reptile.

The skull is so badass though

Cheers!

For me, Scorpion is a must!

It was a bit tough to splurge on this but that skull head is soo sick! I'm trying not to start on this line but if SubZero and Reptile turn out to be this good, it's gonna take a mad person to say no to those.

I'm just hoping for a break before they go up for pre-order. I'm going for the 5-month payment plan for Scorpion but if I have 3 x 1/3 ninjas on the payment plans..
