I think I said with my Jax that I missed out on picking up any of the Mortal Kombat figures growing up but I did pick up two over the years at toy shows. One of those figures that I found was the original Joe release of Shang Tsung, which was awesome because he was one I really wanted and it also only cost me $2.50! So as one of the two looks I really wanted to have of him in my modern collection, I started thinking about how I could do this more and more once I got a head that I really liked for him.
So full Boss Fight build here with a decent amount of sculpting to hide the blank look a bit. Started off with the awesome old man looking head that they did which I think is perfect for Shang Tsung. Then took a blue BF blank, sculpted his boot armor, wrist gauntlets and glove armor, a collar, a belt with a sash and then I also used some green stuff to smooth out some of the muscles on the thighs and chest. Chose to go with a sculpted bit for the sash instead of cloth because I really liked how Slice had a dynamic look to his Storm Shadow’s sashes. Then added some Marauder webgear to finish the look.
Once the sculpting was done, hit him with some bright blue and yellow paints for the body and webgear. Then some bronze paint that I just received for the armor bits and his knife. End result is something I’m really happy with and who I think fits perfectly with Ninja Force and my official Mortal Kombat cyborgs.

LOVE the effects as always. I am so impressed with how well you've taken to sculpting. You are light years ahead of where I was in the same amount of time. Great choice for the head too. I'm going to have to step up my sculpt game now.
