>>5284836The figures themselves are really just ok.
Admittedly I only have the Sub Zero, but he has single elbows and limited arm movement, and his clothing really gets in the way of any decent leg articulation as well, and the feet are also relatively limited. The heads are also a bit undersized for their bodies, though it looks like Raiden and Kitana have avoided this somehow.
It can be difficult to put them in a pose that doesn't look somewhat strange or stiff. Also, Sub Zero in particular has very small accessories, his ice sword and hammer are really undersized, though from what I've seen Scorpion and Raiden have appropriately sized weapons and such (with the exception of scorpion's kunai).
I'm not sure if the second wave has been released yet, though I think I have a vague recollection of them coming out in January I think, but like I said I'm not sure about that.
So all in all, if you want a super poseable MK figure, you shouldn't get these.
That said though, I personally really like all the attention to detail and design of the figures themselves. These are the most game accurate MK toys I've ever seen in regards to getting everything about their outfit just right. I have Sub Zero and i'll probably pick up Raiden at some point too, but I'm actually looking forward to the second wave more than the first. As far as I'm concerned the Kitana and Kotal Khan look fantastic and their outfits in particular should hinder their articulation a lot less than the wave one figures, though it looks like Quan Chi will have the same problems as the first lot.
If you want some MK figures that are going for an ok price and will mostly just have them standing there looking pretty, then these are good for that, but if you want well articulated and better engineered figures then these are not the right choice.
Hope that was helpful, anon.
