It Kame from the Toy Chest: Get over here!

It's rather obvious that I will review a Mortal Kombat figure... And it's Scorpion.

I hate doing MK lore, but here goes nothing: Hanzo Hasashi was a ninja, whose clan was allegedly murdered by Bi Han of the Lin Kuei (spoilers it wasn't) seeking revenge he fights Bi Han and dies. In the Netherrealm he makes a deal and returns as an undead Ninja seeking revenge... Or something. MK Kanon Kan be konfusing.

Articulation:
It's incredibly similar to that of SFV figures, but in leaner bodies. The soft outfit creates very little restrictions on his articulation. Most of the game poses can be recreated easily.
5.0


Paint and Sculpt:
The Sculpt on the figure is amazing. It captures the essence of MK and MKII Scorpion on a hybrid look that actually works. In Scorpion's case, I prefer the MK look for him. The paint is really nice, though I'm not fan of the bloodied look. (But bloody Scorpion is better than no Scorpion). Other than that, the paint job Rocks!!
5.0

Accessories:
- 2 roped kunai
- 2 flame effects
- 1 extra facemask
- 7 extra hands
Extra skull head.
Easy 5.0

Overall:
5.0 means Flawless Victory, but it would be a lie. The score says he is perfect, but he needed a teensy weensy more. Namely a stand would've put him beyond the excellent rank he has. How cool would've been to have a stand with the MK Dragon on it...
