I’ve had him on my desk for months and his stupid face mask has fell off at least a dozen times. It’s a miracle I haven’t lost it, no clue why it’s not sculpted in…
I believe it!! Or at least glue it in place. It’s either reused molds for the other ninjas or they want you to have him hold it, but it’s not a very straightforward thing to do.
I’ve been eyeing these for a long time but never looked into them. Thanks for the honest review. These might be next after my tmnt collection is done
I hear the latest items are nicer. I hope you’re able to find some good discounts
Storm is pretty inconsistent with their releases but as for MK…it’s all we got! Looks like they’re dialing it back in scale and proportion with newer releases. Liu Kang looks to be damn near perfect aside from the monstrous price.
Very interesting! I hope the proportions are correct now.
This was my first Storm Collectibles figure, too. I got it for $60 on Amazon but I think I still might have paid too much. Very underwhelmed, especially seeing the accessories some of the other figures come with and how boring it is as a whole.
Yeah, that’s a tough price, I’m sorry. He is definitely limited, but good for the size
Does the figure has a good and durable material ?. I want to buy him but im afraid after seeing the review of old mk ninjas figures that have many issues
He seems durable
You moved Raph and Donny off your shelf! Great review as always brother!
Thank you! Yeah, gotta switch things up and get these Final Fantasy some space. Haha
I would’ve bought it if this was a MK4 version of Reptile. Always loved that look.
Probably would look better haha
I have always wanted the Lin Kuei and similar ninja figures from Storm but never could commit to the price. I don't regret it now 🤣
Yeah, no regrets. Haha
Storm Collectibles lost me when they released the unmasked Sub Zero as he looked nothing like John Turk. I guess they refused to pay him for his likeness.
And I totally agree. The scale and the chunky overly bulky feeling to these Storm figures just somehow feels off and doesn’t feel right.
It’s a bummer, too. Such a great license to have
Sweet. I like that venom-spit effect. Gotta find Scorpion and Sub-Zero now.
You are happy with this figure?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed aside from the crazy $80 price point, it looks pretty damn cool. Would like to see Scorpion and Sub-Zero to do some comparisons.
@@KootenaiKing would certainly be nice to compare. I get the feeling they are essentially the same with repaints (understandably)
Just got this for 70 dollars its the only storm collectible I’ve bought. I wanted rain and ermac but they were insanely expensive and this was the cheapest storm mk figure I could find
What are your thoughts?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed still waiting on it to be delivered
Reptile is my 2nd Storm figure. I'm excited to open him. Pretty sure mine is different than this. I havent opened it yet. My first storm was Lobo. He is a solid 9/10. He has some articulation gaps but hes pretty nice. A magnet in his arm would definitely make him nearly perfect tho
I hope it’s different! Haha
I did do a live video and opened a couple more that I enjoyed way more than this guy.
Mine is the darker green but same fig setup. It's just not the VS style
This figure is currently 60 on Amazon and I feel like that’s definitely better then 88 but it still is alot
I agree!! It’s just an ok item
I know there are some Storms coll's that are amazing and most definitely from the MK line. I have yet to buy any but on my list for sure. Great review brotha, love the honesty keep that coming.
Thank you so much! I would love to checkout a Goro or something
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah him or Kintaro
@@AyeYo_FRANKie definitely
I’ve got just about every MK figure from Storm so far, with the exception of the variants. Most of the figures are pretty good and I think these figures from Storm are the best on the market as far as MK goes in this scale. Some of them just suffers because of the design and the materials used. The MK3/UMK3/MK Trilogy ninjas are one example. Looking at some of the other characters with outfits that doesn’t limit the articulation, then the articulation is superb! It simply just comes down to the design of their outfits. Great self presence though!
Their 1/6 scale MK11 classic Sub-Zero and Scorpion are great, but they’re in a different league. The use of actual fabrics and the larger scale helps the figures alot. More details, better articulation, etc… The problem with the bigger scale is that more figures takes up more space. Thats why I like the 1/12th scale better when it comes to a franchise with so many characters and having them on display. For single characters like Robocop, The Terminator and so on, I definitly prefer the 1/6th scale. The 1/6th scale is perfect for a action figure representation, in my opinion. Its also nice if you want to get into making custom figures too.
Great and honest review though 👍
This is some great information and I definitely appreciate it. I would love to get a whole collection in my hands to look over. Sounds like there are some good ones, for sure. The price is just tough if they don’t hold up like this one.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Yeah, the prices on the MK Storm figures are pretty stiff, and believe it or not, once they go out of stock the prices goes even crazier. The first MK figures Storm released were the classic skin DLC version from MK9 (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Ermac, Smoke, Noob Saibot and Rain). They started off at about 75-80 bucks or so too, but goes for 2-300+ US dollars now, depending on the character and how nice the seller is. Once a Storm figure goes out of stock the prices only goes up, unless a new company rise to make better versions. If you want to get a Storm figure, them you better fetch it while its at retail LOL! I reviewed all the Storm figures I’be gotten so far, and Im pretty happy with them so far too. Then again, Im less critical in my reviews due to knowing that there is no such thing as the «perfect figure». I take them and judge them for what they are, unless they start falling apart straight out of the box or have obvious issues that makes them really bad figures. Im only doing the reviews and maybe snap a few photos, and then I leave them on display for visual enjoyment anyway. To me the figures are only posable untill I feel I have the right pose, and then they suddenly turn into «statues» for my collection. Too expensive to risk breaking them for no reason LOL!
@@Eseres80 haha, yeah definitely don’t wanna break any after those aftermarket prices.
Great review bro
Agree with you, the owner should be happy tho, the fig still got 4 out of 5! 😂
Keep up the good work!
Haha. Yeah, it’s funny sometimes how the score doesn’t match up to “is it worth it”. I have had the flip side too. 😂
I have a few mk storm collectibles, cyrax,sektor,subzero,reptile,scorpion and kung lao. I wish they were cheaper i just love how most of them come with their signature moves and the ability to do a fatality
It seems like Reptile is the weakest of the line
@NostalgiaUnboxed it sure is missing a few accessories to spice things up. I mean really how much more can they charge for a glop of green plastic that can double as the acid spit fatality. The unmasked sub-zero comes with a full ice tomb case and different ice effects
I agree 30 to 40 bucks tops and if you’re a huge no fan! I do like the reptile head. Was going to save this for morning coffee but night time naughty time will do!
Oh my! I have reached a new place in your routine. Haha
@@NostalgiaUnboxed lmao keep kicking ass buddy!
Love me some MK Ninjas and Storm Collectibles have peaked my interest, but the price tag has definitely kept me at reach. Cuz I agree, even with photos on BBTS, the sculpt/paint/figure doesn't seem to add up to the price.
Not at all! They have lost their minds at this price, but of course, people are paying it for every release, so… 🤷♂️😂
So do All Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat fugures come with fatality effects?
I believe so. I opened up Goro and Kintaro on a live stream and they had loads of stuff
@NostalgiaUnboxed I've watched videos of some people's collection's and seen some pretty gruesome fatalities, has wondering before I started buying the wrong series or something
Congratulations on your first Storm figure! You can take some of the NECA Muckman goo and give it to Reptile to... ummm... muck around with.
Hahaha, very nice. It’s going back to its owner though!
It's weird, but until you showed the promo images I see why you found it off. The head looks a lil smaller and the thighs shorter or maybe the skirt piece is hanging too low.
It’s all so strange to me. Haha
The promo images (and what’s on the box) show clear spit and orb ability thing. Though green is better, it makes me wonder how they change so much
I've got this figure and the other ninjas he's great and the mask comes of as it's reuse from scorpion. Loving your honesty. There is a lot of reuse. And there prices are higher due to them being import figures made for the Asian market and that the are a small company in comparison and they make them in smaller quantities.
That’s fair, I suppose. Certainly makes it harder to enjoy when compared to Mafex and similar import companies at the price. :/
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah I get that if you believe it or not they were £50 when they started but since then they have got larger and there QC has improved alot
@@grumpycricket9290 any recommendations from them to look at?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed mainly the newer ones but if you like the character like any off the cyborg ninjas there all awesome
@@grumpycricket9290 thank you!
Yea I got him when he was on sale for like 40 him and Kung lao. Regular price is ridiculous.
That’s a great discount! Nicely done!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed deep discount coming through.
I dig these but it’s only fair to expect more for $80+. The quality is there but the value is lacking.
Exactly! If priced better they would hold more weight
A very honest and very good review 👍👏
Thank you!
Storm is a hit or miss for me. I always thought that some off their figures were weirdly proportioned. Their first wave of ninjas seemed that way too. I intended to buy most of the MK line but I noticed that some of them looked off, especially for the price that they’re asking for. Anyways, keep up with your reviews man’s. It’s actually one the better reviews I’ve seen in a while.
Thank you! Yeah, I wish they were better matched to their price. We need McFarlane to make them
@@NostalgiaUnboxed im pretty sure mcfarlane makes mk figures.
@@fleamarketmixtape3793 some, yeah. Not many from what I am aware of and maybe just MK 11?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yea theres some nice looking ones but it is a slow pace. have you done a video showcasing your collection?

Great review! Loved the intro.
Thank you so much!
Ignorance is bliss.
I never questioned the pricing until now.
I still like em . But damn. We need more detail and better paint apps. I get that it's imported but shhhhhh smh
Haha, I’m sorry! But yeah, a bit pricey
At the end of the day if you bought it you purchased it. If it was a free give me Do NOT complain..
You don’t deserve it
You should get the mortal kombat kintaro from storm he is phenomenal
Even before reviewing this one he was top of the list for me. Looks so good!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed oh he is, every review I watched of him raves about him. I got him back in July last year and every time I get him out for pics he amazes me
@@superstew79 you got the box still? And wanna send him to a new reviewer? 👀🤣
@@NostalgiaUnboxed hahaha 😂
Hmm, seems a bit lazy for $80+
Fine review yet again
Agreed and thank you!
For everyone who bought this as their first storm figure, mk3 reptile is one of the worst in the MK line. It's also worth noting this reptile has extra hands intended to work wth the effect pieces that come with the original retile figure.
What a weird choice! Thanks for the info!
Awesome review!!! I love Reptile, I hope they lower the price of this figure, it looks pretty cool! 😁
Thank you so much! Definitely needs a lower price. It’s about $70 on Amazon if that helps!
Great review, def not into this sculpt at all. Def seems over priced.
Thank you! Apparently there are better figures from this line, but I did not care for this one
He never played Mortal Kombat 🤦 the green affect goes in front for when he throws his acid ball 👍
No duh
The first release of the Storm ninjas are way better.
Well that’s just crazy then! They should get better over time not worse. Haha!
@Nostalgia Unboxed i say that, but I guess they're pretty similar in terms of posing and articulation. I mainly just think the Gi and heads look way better.
@@NickDoobs the head is certainly too small. I need them to fix the stumpy look overall too
God no it’s nowhere near in mcfarlane realm of toys, storm collectibles are way way way above those mass market figures
I have yet to mess with one
@@NostalgiaUnboxed mcfarlane are lower then marvel legends. I love storm stuff and have quite a few bits of theirs, their early stuff I thought was too bulky and not right but they really getting into their stride now. They seem to have nailed a style that’s not accurate nor over the top, it’s a nice stylised middle ground
@@superstew79 the promo shots of the Dark Knight figures seem promising
I think it’s meant to be cartoonish
if that's true it still failed lol
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I think it’s a perfect reptile figure
@@Storm29182 I’m glad that you enjoy it!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yo! I just ordered the scorpion version with the same brand!
Yeah, the lega are too small. No wonder why this is so cheap
$80
McFarland toy? Ok sure buddy.
What?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed You said it looks and feels like a McFarland toy. The articulation between the two are not even close. I'm sure you know this.
@@johnny10grasp3 oh gotcha. This guy still sucks for $80
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I agree with you there and I appreciate all your hard work. 👍
No quirky sense of humor, an then I saw this was a yr old video. So you weren't funny back then??🤔🤣🤣 Oh the ninjas are the weakest in the SC line just fyi!
Hahaha, go sort by oldest videos in my video tab. Watch the first one. Yikes
Storm’s MK line is so awesome. Nice review! Check out @captainmckayrandom latest MK stop motion video. It is so goood!
Thank you! And I will check it out!
