It kame from the Toy Chest: Rich DiVizio with a Nosferatu Mask


And press on nails. Musn't forget the press-on nails.
I'm talkinf about Baraka, the Tartakan warrior whose first  was in Mortal Kombat 2.
A general of Shao Kahn, and fiercest Tartakan warrior, Baraka is a force to be reckoned with.

Articulation
Sub Zero:and then he said: "Come at me Bro!"
ARGH! What the Hell!?
Baraka: You said Come at me Bro! I did.
Baraka has the basic storm Collectibles articulation that you expecting any of their Mortal Kombat figures. Some of his joints are a little bit too tight particularly the thighs which make posing  his legs a bit of a pain.
4.5

 paint and sculpt
Here Baraka is an outstanding figure. He does not look like Rich DiVizio wearing a cheap vampire mask and press on nails. The sculpture look at the art for inspiration instead of the actual character model from the game. In Baraka's case that's a great thing!
It was at this moment when Baraka realized
He @#$%ed up!
 He looks creepy as he should!
Paint wise he's wonderful.
5.0

Accessories
Extra head
6 extra hands
4 blood effects
2 elongated arm blades
1 blade spark effect

Normally the amount of accessories with the figure would give him a 5.0 by the fault but I cannot give it a 5.0 for a couple reasons:
Blades were all warped and I had to heat and cool to fix.
Some blood effects don't fit the ninjas (which are the characters these were made for.)  I had to cheat a little when putting the blood effects on Sub Zero.

The blade spark requires a stand that did not come with a figure. It's too heavy to balance on the figures hand. Not to mention that it forces Baraka to fall since it breaks his center of gravity.
3.5
Baraka: Come at me, Lil' Bro!
Wolverine: This isn't Funny, Wade...

Overall:
4.33 is his final score. He's a great figure by a couple of small issues here and there knocking down a few pegs the uselessness of half his accessories hurt him a lot. He was supposed to be a flawless victory...
