Top "Cheap kitbashes" that Storm Collectibles could do for MK SDCC Exclusives.

While Tekken or SFV get Variants, or odd recolors; Mortal Kombat is Kursed by having New Ninja as exclusives. I whined about Noob being Literally Black Scorpion before. While I preordered an Ermac, I kinda feel that NEW Characters shouldn't be SDCC Items for Storm's MK line.

So here's a list of "sensible variations" of characters that could work for SDCC or normal releases.

-MK1 Reptile:
He's literally the same Reptile we got but with different accessories: The Freeze items from Sub-Zero, the Roped Kunai from Scorpion. The SFV characters get a special Background from their character's stage. Maybe we could get that for THIS version of Reptile with the Top of the Pit and the moon. As an added bonus various inserts we could use for the shadows.

-Ice Klone Sub-Zero (MK3):
This is a rather obvious one A Clear Blue Sub Zero representing his Ice Klone. Reuse the Sub-Zero stuff that will be on MK3 Sub Zero or combine it with stuff from BOTH Sub-Zeroes.

-a True Noob Saibot: (or his Shadow Clone) This one could wait for the MK3 Ninja body, but if they want to use the 1 and 2 body, then: Remove the gunmetal. Maybe use Reptile's acid hand effects in smoky translucent black with some gray accents to create his smoke ball special move?

-Ice Klone Klassic Sub Zero: It doubles as a ninja being hit by the iceball.
So win win...

-Johnny Cage Shadow Afterimage: (you have two colors to choose from)
A translucent green or Red Johnny Cage to pose behind the real one as if he was using shadow powered moves.

-"Smoking Smoke": Basically Smoke, but with the dark translucent plastic body from Noob... It would be Smoke fully accepting his enenra powers (or a subtle nod to the Noob-Smoke.)

If they go with Metal Hands Jax as the Default with no option for Flesh Hands or vice versa, then the Other Version of Jax could be done as a "variant" release.

Things like the following would be considered dick moves if done because they are new characters (But at the same time Kool kitbashes):
-"Klassic Tremor": The only new piece or 2 would be rocks. Otherwise Sub-Zero's ice effects in "stone kolors" can work for him.

-"Klassic Skarlet": a Red rehash of Kitana and Mileena with kodachi blades.

-"Klassic Tanya": You know the drill Kitana Klone Boomerang.

-"Klassic Chameleon and/or Khameleon": Translucent plastic for the bodies and iridescent paint for the outfit. Toss in other ninja accessories.
