That's nice and all but what the hell happened to that Fist of the North Star Kenshiro figure Storm teased a few years ago? Medicos already released their Kenshiro and still we haven't heard anything after from Storm.

They have alot of stuff theyve shown for years that havent seen the light of day yet. Its confusing how they operate but its how they are. I say get excited on the idea of the characters they show/announce, but until you have those final PR shots and info on release, take it with a grain of salt that its coming anytime soon. Mileena, Kitana, MKX Scorpion, Pesina Johnny Cage, Liu Kang and his dragon.... all have been shown years ago... and we have not seen them since. 

I knew hed be the next one since they do seem to love doing the bosses/sub bosses and Im all for it! Cant wait to see their take on him. From the spikes it looks like they are taking it directly from MK2 which is a good thing. Hopefully he wont be super awkwardly cat like, like the mk9 pic above. After Kintaro, I wonder if they ll make a boss Shang Tsung with throne.

This one is going to look great, Kintaro has always been my favorite of the Bosses/Subbosses and my favorite Shokan.

I was hoping they would eventually release Liu Kang, since he is the face of MK. At least there's Sub-Zero, since he's my favorite character.

Sub is my favorite as well. Liu Kang is definitely coming, it just means they are perfecting him. Unmasked MK3 Sub Zero was one of the figs they showed years ago and now hes fully released. So there is hope that all thats been shown will eventually see the light of day. Who knows how they operate and what passes and what needs more work on. I wouldnt lose faith. Kung Lao is coming this year, theres no way we arent getting both Shao Lin monks together eventually.

Kung Lao looks awesome. I'm normally not a fan of him but seeing that Storm Collectibles' version of him with the hat-tossing effect, fatality effect and friendship piece, I might consider buying one.

I'll wait and see...

One thing thats the most amazing things about Storm Collectibles, is their accessories are incredibly well done and clever choices. Im ironically not a fan of unmasked sub zeros design in general, but their figure looks amazing due to the fact that he has some of the most impressive effect pieces in the line.
