    Its funny how in the 90s and 80s we had toylines for movies that were for teens and adults with killing and violence. I wonder who made the first approach, Hasbro or Midway.

    I just spent $400 on Subzero, scorpion, 2 smokes, 2 Sonias and reptile all sealed on ebay with great packaging condition. They're so awesome and hella expensive now on ebay, the ninjas are usually $45-60and Reptile goes for way more. Great video!!

    Neat video. About movie edition scorpion and his blue mask, Scorpions mask in the film was a gray color, and I think they were trying to replicate that, keyword being trying. It looks more like the movie mask to me, than if it was just yellow, but it does look off at a glance.

    Ok, I had to double check but I think I can see why Scorpion's mask is blue instead of yellow. ( Although after seeing Sub-Zero I have no clue, just a guess here. )
    In the movie Scorpion has a metal looking mask that's in grey with his Hood in black. My only guess is because they did at least get the eye color right ( just being all white like they were the first time the figure was released ) they were trying to make his mask look metal like, like In the movie instead of the game where his mask is yellow. The paint would have made it stand out as the movie version a bit better and instead of making a new head sculpt they probably took the original 94' Scorpion head and repainted the mask to make it look more like the movie.
    Or, they just fu&$ed it up...

    Does anyone remember the MK fighting base with action figures. You would lock them to the black dragon base and spin the handle and they would fight. They stayed on with one foot attached to the base. I can’t find anything about that toy on line.
