As announced at Toy Fair, Jazwares is set to tear up the action figure scene with a new line of 6-inch scale figures pulled from the latest hit fighting game, MORTAL KOMBAT. Slated for release this summer, the first assortment of Mortal Kombat figures will star four established "Kombatants":

* Sub-Zero
* Radien
* Johnn Cage
* Scorpion

Jazwares states that many more characters are planned (Sonya Blade is confirmed) and is even inviting fans to submit their favorite characters for inclusion in the line via their Facebook page.

Soon to be announced, Jazwares will also be releasing a Toys"R"Us San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Mortal Kombat figure. Details to come. Until then, enjoy this first look at the first series of Mortal Kombat action figures.

Not bad. Not awesome, but not bad. I'm glad there's a decent range of articulation, but for 6" figures they could probably go a bit further. I'm not sure they're even comparable to SOTA's SF toys from back when. However, price will be huge to sway my opinion here. If these come in at a cool 10 or 11 bucks, I'd be much more forgiving than if they're 15. We'll just see, but the sculpts aren't bad.

This is exactly the news I wanted to hear, although i will always feel that NECA could have pulled this line off much better, but I can't change who has licenses so, oh well. I also better keep to characters that have things covering their face too, those sculpts are atrocious to say the least for raiden and johnny, but these seem like alot of fun, just to mess around with and not only for display.

The figs looks sweet! Even though some company may have set on some 'standard' that us consumers have expected on each toy, jazware keeps on improving in giving us quality figures. Gud luck guys! we'll be waiting on these!

I wonder if they'll be the same sculpt as the 4" figures, similar to the way they sort of up-size their Sonic line. Same basic sculpt and articulation and all but in different scales. If so, I think the 4" will be even more impressive than the 6, but I'm certainly not ready to count these out just yet.

BBTS has em listed for around 15 bucks for preorder, hopefully that means in stores they'd be closer to 11 or 12. Then again, TRU is my main Jazwares carrier right now and they're marking prices up on EVERYTHING, so who knows what we'll see.
