This is the one Im not caring much about, but very excited for the other preds and the Aliens and Linn and Dutch.

Fun fact, this was shared by both Daniel Pesina (the original Johnny Cage and the ninjas) as well as STORM themselves. And whats funny is thats where I first saw this haha. Great shots dude!

The DB series doesnt have alot of main characters that are female so it is nice that they made one strictly for the game and the fact that shes gotten alot of popularity off of it. Toriyama seems to be trying to fix that with recent events. He made Kale, Caulifla, and Kefla in DB Super where they have gotten alot of high praise and popularity also. They are very sought after to be included in the next DLC for the DB Fighterz game as well. Her concept isnt super original since shes an Android that can absorb powers of warriors just like Cell and for whatever reason is mostly Buu powered.

I watched the reveal earlier today. Im pretty pumped for this goodness to drop!

She came out awesome in figure form! Shes gotten so popular since her debut in the excellent Dragonball FighterZ.

Fingers crossed this comes out good and not 20 years too late like most long spaced out sequels.. and with that travesty that came out a year or so ago, it couldnt get any worse.

Very true but they are also one of those companies that reuses most of their parts for each of those 60 figures. They have alot more chances of getting great figs but also alot more fodder as well. Most of their best figs are unique molds which is usually pretty rare. They are probably the only toy company that #$## out more figures than any other toy company out there. Its very much Quality over Quantity comparing Hasbro with the import toy companies. (even tho both have some amazing products)

I would agree but then there arent much competition if you take out all the major companies.. Maybe NECA and DC/Mattel... but idk.. Its definitely harder to compare something thats $20 to something thats $80. Thats a BIG jump in quality and a massive gap in how they are judged.

The other thing thats hard to compare is prices. MLs are $20 each and are available at just about every major retail store. Mezco, storm, mafex, etc are only really available at specialty stores and online and are much more than $20 each. Its like comparing cheap beer to high quality wine.

Dont get me wrong, me saying all we got was alot of reused ninjas wasnt exactly a bad thing but when comparing other companies that have brand new molds and figures, it counts as a negative even if accurate to the source material. Its like if we got 5 different wolverines from hasbro in one year. They arent spread out over time, they are all shat out all at once. The company has got to the point of being my all time favorite company due to their quality and subject matter as Im a very rabid and avid fighting game fanatic, which have rarely gotten any REAL figures let alone high quality ones in years if at all. Also after I said that I later realized Kahn came out this year which i forgot about bc he went up on preorder for what felt like years. They are definitely new but they arent brand new but compared to companies on this list, for sure they are babes.. just their brands are expanding and the potential is sooooo high for me with them. I think I also judge them like they are my kid, I have extremely high expectations. Also believe me, I think about all their potential projects/characters they are and will be doing and it gets me moist. XD

Your name is appropriate then! good morning!

Of course he has to come out looking amazing. I m not a Kyo fan and even I want this now. Iori and Terry are definites... I will have to see if he doesnt sell out after them to grab him. Very excited to see this line grow. Gimme Mai and King! and GEESE! Im also blown away at his accessories.. the different hair is a nice touch on top of the extra faces/heads. The sad part is this is yet another figure of theirs that is being price hiked. Pretty soon an average build character from Storm will hit $100. That ll be fun.

I forgot he came out this year. He was delayed or rather put up so early that it felt like years before he came out. He is an EXCELLENT figure. If you hadnt just joined, you couldve nominated him. I wouldve if I had realized he was a 2018 release. To me the best MK fig this year.

Ironically the board seemed a bit dead during the nomination periods. Very little people nominated. No one was very vocal UNTIL the nominations were closed and voting started. I wouldve voted for Storm easily but we got alot of reused ninjas and goro.. I LOVE those figures but I couldnt deny Hasbros amazing year. Storm will have alot more variety this coming year and you can bet I ll be nominating them.

I know how you feel man. The one time posters and the multiple curiously "new" accounts that pop up everytime there is a contest always feels shady. I just think its better to not focus on it and not become one of those guys that tries too hard to get it. Just keep doing what you are doing. The amazing thing is the fact that JayC puts up these contests constantly so your chances of being a winner are always greatly increased. Also they do it over at the marvel part of this forum as well if you like marvel things. But never be like our past pals that we have conveniently not seen since that have a one sentence response in EVERY post for 3 pages. That just comes off as foolish and annoying. Good luck!
