Ok. Now that I have had a little bit of time off from work here are my quick thoughts:
Pros: The packaging is really cool. I like the indented MK dragon logo on the front. It's a nice touch. The sculpts are amazing! Really well done and a lot of attention to detail. Paint apps are absolutely flawless on my figures. I can't speak to anyone's figures except for my own. I love how they hid the joints and articulation swivels and points. Hasbro could take a lesson from Mezco on this one. They aren't awkward like McFarlanes Walking Dead figures, it's a perfect blend of the pose-ability from Hasbro and the detail of TWD figures. Cons: Each figure has a waist swivel and both Scorpion and Raiden's work perfectly. With that said, my Sub-Zero cannot swivel at all. I hope this isn't a common thing. I have tried a lot of things to try and get it to turn. Aside from cracking open the body, nothing is letting that swivel free. Scorpions mask comes off. At first I was excited for this, however, underneath the mask is seriously a feminine looking face. Due to the sculpts being created with the actual in game designs I was expecting to see a bearded Scorpion. To further my frustration, the mask has no tabs to secure it on. It is only held on by his nose. The mask falls off at the slightest movement of the figure causing a little frustration. I decided that I will never display him with out his mask, so I super glued it to his face. The so-so: The accessories are ok. Raiden: His lightning ball really looks better with Sub-Zero than it does with the Thunder God. On the other hand, Raiden's second set of hands have the "electrocution" translucent look with clear blue plastic. Scorpion: His dual katanas(?) are awesome. However, I can not find a spot for them to store on his back. The kunai spear is probably the second weakest of the three characters weapons. It has a small loop for a finger to slide onto. It makes it look unnatural if looking dead on and it is a pain to keep straight. I think a small tab by his wrist would have been more beneficial in re-creating the iconic "Get Over Here" spear attack. Sub-Zero: His Ice Sword. Ugh...it's more like an Ice Knife. I feel a little jipped with this one. To me, I would have preferred a sword that had more length and weight to it. It's ok, but dwarfed by Scorpion's. Ever since they introduced the Ice Hammer, I have despised it. Not my favorite weapon in the game, and that carries over to the figure. I would have taken a slide effect over that, heck I would have preferred a "babality" pack in better. Over all, I love the look of the figures, I do recommend them and hopefully they continue to put more characters out in both modern and classic costumes. I hope Mezco goes beyond the MK static characters and brings us a Jason Voorhees and Predator. Check out my instagram feed for a few more pictures of these and other lines @ak_riot_control.

Yeah, I'm gonna wait until they give us something like a Scorpion with removable face & hood with his skull underneath. The mask on the current sculpt falls off soooooo easily and that just sucks. They should've made it part of the head sculpt like they did with Sub Zero!
