all this time i didn't know that the mortal kombat figures were retooled repaints for the most part. johnny cage was cool but the red was ugly and it would have been terrific to see him in a business suit. but also when i was a kid and i saw these figures at the toy store, i wasn't thinking about movie accuracy. i was thinking they were the bomb! Rayden was a cool toy but i think he was a shelfwarmer. liu kang toy was awesome but i had no idea he used roadpig's chest. that's funny! shang tsung while not movie accurate was a cool toy nevertheless and the real black robe was a treat. the sonya blade in black is perfect. also, i liked a lot the artwork on the boxes of the mortal kombat figures. sonya blade's artwork made her look really hot even in that green boring dress. as for scorpion, smoke, and subzero they sure were repaints of each other but hey they were awesome ninjas. subzero being my favorite.
the goro and johnny cage two pack was the pinnacle of the mortal kombat collection IMO! i remember the first time i saw it at toysrus and i begged my mother to buy it. i don't remember if i got it that day but i did have that toy. i had the other version of goro that you don't have. only thing i didn't like was the lack of an o-ring on Goro. he was a great toy! and that arena with the mortal kombat logo was perfect. i always considered the darker version repaint of Goro to be his brother Durak from the mortal kombat movie that was like early cgi. i think it was like an hour or 30 minutes.
reptile and his vehicle was one of those toys that i never got. i only cared about the figure. not even the artwork on reptile's vehicle could make me interested in a boat. i just never been into boats really. but looking at it now and out of the box, it has its good qualities. the blue and gray combination is nice. lots of weapons too. and yeah i agree with u, it looks better than the piranha.
i got the kombat cycle with kano as soon as i saw it in stores. my mother bought it for me. i was always into vehicles like cars, trucks, and motorcycles and the artwork on the kombat cycle was just badass! it was a great toy.
the dragonwing was the rare vehicle of the toyline. i saw it only once. the colors were beautiful. it's a shame that the boat was so tiny. but hey, i was thinking that one of those Chap Mei boats could really look fantastic as a dragonwing. it's nice that you were able to fit all the mortal kombat figures that appeared in the movie into the boat! kudos for that! and finally that black shang tsung looks way better in black than in blue.
