Ordered this Reptile from BBTS after I saw your post on the community page a while back and love it. Was my first Storm Collectibles figure. Just got the new version of Zangief the other day as my 2nd and he is amazing. Thanks for your honest reviews and recommendations! Long time watcher, first time commenting.
MK3 designs are definitely my favorite, Im happy this Reptile has a much better looking face compared to the Sub and Scorp. I know some might frown on these pallette swaps, but I really hope to see them eventually do Rain, Smoke, and Ermac done in this MK3 style.
When I'm not sure about getting a figure, I always look for your assessment of the figure. Very honest and objective so it helps me decide if a figure is worth it.👍
This is easily one of my favorite ninja garbs out of Mortal Kombat. I like them all in their own way, but when I saw these on back in MK3 I was sold on it. This is the design friends and I would draw time to time and I was a bit bummed MK11 didn’t put these costumes in the game. But they was in MKX, so it’s not like it’s been forever since we’ve seen this outfit. Really happy with this figure, I wasn’t going to miss out on him this time. It would be cool if somewhere down the road they give us lizard skin arms to match the head.
I like the versions with the quilt more, but this is my second favorite version of them. Gonna have to pick it up since i missed out on the first release. Never been a fan of reptile actually looking like a lizard though. Prefer his human looking versions more
I like the MK3 looks the best, I think. It's tough. MK9 and MKX both had really good designs as well, but I just love how simplistic the MK3 looks are. The fact that designs were simplistic makes them memorable. When you have all these over designed looks, there's so much detail going on that nothing stands out and therefor becomes forgettable. It also takes me back to the days of gaming when gaming used the same sprites but changed only the palette. Again, seeing the same sprites over and over again burned them into your memory, and it also amplifies their small differences, like victory poses for example.
Just bought this. Going to re paint it to look like Sub Zero. Sub Zero Unfortunately is too expensive right now to buy at $250+. Picked up Rep for $50, hopefully I can get the look I want. Great Review.
Great review appreciate your objective approach to reviewing, I actually love the way this figure looks and would love to add him to my shelf but I cant justify the price personally... I think $50 or $60 he would definitely be worth it but he is anywhere from $84 to $90...uhg lol just cant
I don't like doing it but I just snipped off the pegs on the tunic so I can rotate him. Had they made it longer and wider, they could have avoided the pegs. I assume the mask is an artifact(or later intent) for a swappable plate, but man mine falls off if I just look at it.
Upper jaw is maxilla, lower is mandible. I think Storm makes the best elbow joint as fas as looking like and elbow when bending. It has the point as like in a real elbow. Man I wish they were able to do more DC besides lobo or even Marvel characters. Would be very interesting to see.
Does the figure has a good and durable material ?. I want to buy him but im afraid after seeing the review of old mk ninjas figures that have many issues
Ya I made the mistake of assuming they were still 1/12 and bought the 1000 toys Master Chief since I didn't think Storm collectibles would ever make one. Needless to say he is far smaller than my Storm figures and some how looks far to short next to MK 3 Scorpion which is funny because Scorpion should be about 6'2" and Master Chief is Supposed to stand at 7 ft tall in armor. Since I'm pretty sure Reptile and scorpion reuse allot of the same parts I can confirm they are definitely not 1/12 scale anymore.
@@leechqueen4604 Oops my bad I'd just realized I said Motaro, I meant would Kintaro have a bloody version. I keep getting them confused with the similar names lol 😅
I don’t know if it’s just me, but the mask and bottom half especially it seems to be a lighter green and that kinda bothers me as well as them not being able to turn at the waist.
Really. Mine arrived yesterday. Compared to some of the previous ninja releases, it's much more vibrant looking to me. And the joints are on par if not slightly better imo.
I agree MK3 has the best overall design for the ninjas. Hoping they keep going with inevitable Noob, Ermac, Rain etc.
Yeah I’m hoping to collect em all before they raise up to 300$
I’m actually hyped for this one since I missed out on the older one.

I prefer mk3 designs i am hoping that the rest of the ninja's get announced for this line
Yes same, especially Rain.
@@TheSenSx yeah boi rain too
@@mercentin1499 We might get a Mcfarlane one as consolation, as we did for Noob Saibot.
@@TheSenSx that may happen
Hopefully this Time Scorpion and noob arent just repaints.

Same
I prefer the look of the original “quilted” versions of the ninjas, but I like the bigger bodies that these new ones

i love the mask of the mk3 ninjas though the suits looked cooler in mk2!

My favorite of mk3 ninjas released is sub zero, although I super glued his mask on so it wouldn't fall off.
I like this look as well
most prefer the MK2 look for ninjas, which the more classic figures were actually based on MK11 "classic skins" and not MK1/2 in particular.
Lol I love it so much when you say peeper. Thanks for the excellent review Anthony!
💕💯😽💕👏🤟💗
I also like rain with his MK3 suit he's my third favorite Ninja

So when they pop out can they do back in or should I just snip them ?
This is what I've been waiting for.
I like Ermac his first suit
i agree with u this version is best
I'm happy with my reptile figure I hope to come out with smoke mk3 ninja next.

i've been debating on getting Hanma Baki from this line, do you think it will be good?
Idk. It's a bit different from what they usually do. Should be at least good enough, I'd guess
He's got soft good shorts and what looks like great articulation
If your a huge baki fan I'd say go for it
Mkx ninjas has the best balance of classic and modern imo
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
Man I really wish these were actually 1/12 cause I would’ve hunted down the others quick

🎵His Crotch Bone’s connected to his Butt Bone!🎵
You know the rest of the story…..
Would storm's Motaro have a bloody version too?
Yeah it’s already available on bbts.it’s the NYCC version.
@@leechqueen4604 Oops my bad I'd just realized I said Motaro, I meant would Kintaro have a bloody version. I keep getting them confused with the similar names lol 😅
The modern ones, for me.
For me the best designs were usually in MK4 and MK9. Not a big fan of original designs where they were all same with different colors.
Come On My Favorite Ninja Is Rain
I prefer the mk2 mkx and mk9 designs for the ninjas.
I got it
I don’t know if it’s just me, but the mask and bottom half especially it seems to be a lighter green and that kinda bothers me as well as them not being able to turn at the waist.
Is there a plan to finish the rest of the trilogy ninjas?
No one knows
This figure is very trikimiliki
Maybe I'm trippin but the the shade of green is a bit off compared to what I remember him looking like in mk3.
I wanna see baby articulation
I prefer the MK2 versions
Are you excited for Mortal Kombat 1?
Hope Liu kang and Kung lao
Kung lao is out
Peanut head
Never could get into the Storm UMK3 designs. The face masks go way too far back and just look bulky and jarring.

I'm sorry, but this figure looks like garbage to me.
How?

Did you have any trouble removing the small tongue
I don't think i did. It's been a while.
I just got one for my birthday, I managed to get it out though, was easier then I thought
