[N3RDGASM]

Hes going to be huge

Next, is a tease of another Klassic Mortal Kombat 1:4 scale statue that will be coming soon…

Yes :)

[redhulk27]

Can't wait to see the finished product. Looking forward to owning this piece. Im thinking over 30 inches. Hes going to be massive.

[SARFARAZ]

Doesn't goro look the same in All games? I can't remember...

[madmanny]

IT HAS BEGUN

[SARFARAZ]

I'm guessing his pose will be similar to this...

[Goldenpanther]

wonder how BIG he will be ......

[redhulk27]

Doesn't goro look the same in All games? I can't remember...

For the most part. I think in the new ones they added armor if im not mistaken

[Goldenpanther]

I hope he comes with a switch out head because switch out arms LOL would be too much arms .

[redhulk27]

Lol. I wouldnt it either. I think one extra head will suffice.

MK9 Goro, the best version of him in my opinion.

Id rather have his face depicted how it was in the first MK. Hopefully Jerry will come out with a more creative action pose than that. I assume there's not a whole lot of ways you can really pose him though.

[SARFARAZ]

Switch out head....and arms.... and legs....and whole body into kintaro! LoL and yes mk9 is different. Just remembered from looking at the pic..

Okay.. this pose is great. And I love the armor. Make it so Jerry!! Or John Cleary. ;)

Yeah same for me. Man I hope the EX would be so you could pose him like that.

[Jiggeh]

No, he's gone through quite a few changes. The biggest difference in most people's eyes would likely be that the MK9 version wears armour, and has a long skirt flap thing coming off his loin cloth.

MK1 Goro (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121210034649/mortalkombat/es/images/f/fd/Goro_Mortal_Kombat.PNG)
MK9 Goro (http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/7/71161/1709797-goro_mk9render.jpg)

There have been other minor changes throughout the years, like the colour of his skin and the amount/colour of scales on his back. In a few games he has 4 pecs instead of 2, that sort of thing.

The picture definitely looks like it's based on the MK9 design.


edit: lol I guess I should've expected a hundred more replies to have been made while I was writing this post. I was replying to SARFARAZ's second post. :P

No worries dude thanks for that anyway man. :)

[Gruson]

Must have! Hope his face is the classic version.

[Darkhumor]

Well Jerry is doing both MK9 and Klassic. So maybe we'll get the best of both worlds, but I would much rather have the MK9 version with his armor and loin cloth and in that pose. That would be fantastic.

[s_paulik87]

Seems like MK is taking over, stuff is coming out with the quickness. Hope it stays like this. Sucks that SF line takes forever to get approved though for the main sf collectors.

You have no idea how I feel about all the SF delays that have been occurring for years now. I try so hard to not think about it lol. But yeah it's nice for MK fans... I hate you all lol..

[s_paulik87]

I'm a fan of both though. Eagerly awaiting Sagat (did my avi give it away) Dhalsim and Balrog are also must buys for me. Then if Jerry does a Juri and R. Mika I will be in heaven.

Being a fan of both though right now is nice because of how fast the MK line is coming along. Gives me something to look forward to at all times especially between SF 1/4 scale.

[Batminator]

Switch out head....and arms.... and legs....and whole body into kintaro! LoL and yes mk9 is different. Just remembered from looking at the pic..

It's possible the EX (or a variant) is Kintaro, like PCS did with Scorpion and Reptile. Although the switch to Kintaro would be more elaborate, Goro can be used as a base at least.

[JohnCleary]

Okay.. this pose is great. And I love the armor. Make it so Jerry!! Or John Cleary. ;)

:thumbs2:

[no gears]

I'm pumped for this! Killin my Damn wallet but oh well, must have

[GenoToys]

Pre-order for sure!!!! Woot Woot!

[Hanzo]

Another must buy. So does this mean subzero is almost done???

[JohnCleary]

Goro rocks!

[s_paulik87]

Goro rocks!

I saw the :thumbs2: to the sz comment! :drooling:

[Quicksilver]

Klassic Goro will be epic :) hopefully an old man mk1 tsung is made to go with him

[BarrelCannon]

Lol I read my email and was wondering how many pages already got filled for the inevitable new goro thread

[Vracula]

This is gonna be awesome.

[furycat]

mk9 version for the win.
im still waiting for e honda (0.0)"

[The SHOGUN]

Must have! Hope his face is the classic version.

Well Jerry is doing both MK9 and Klassic. So maybe we'll get the best of both worlds, but I would much rather have the MK9 version with his armor and loin cloth and in that pose. That would be fantastic.

according to the newsletter this is based on the Klassic design.

[The_Von]

Although Goro's face/head looks about the same throughout the Mortal Kombat games, IMO I think an MK9 version would compliment Shao Khan much better. For those that have Shao Khan on the way though.

One can argue this Klassic Goro statue would be a wonderful compliment to the Klassic ninjas that are being released. I have no interest in MK9 Goro, glad Klassic Goro is being made first.

[The_Von]

Good point. I just figured MK9 bosses is comparable to the classic ninjas; display wise if that makes any sense. Ha. Either way, it's probably a buy for me.

[Comicbookguy]

Yeah same for me. Man I hope the EX would be so you could pose him like that.

Yes mk9 designs are much better than the plain classics in my opinion. I don't know anything about this big guy. But if the price is good and low ES I will buy him. Not sure if I will have enough room to display this guy.

[Hanzo]

One can argue this Klassic Goro statue would be a wonderful compliment to the Klassic ninjas that are being released. I have no interest in MK9 Goro, glad Klassic Goro is being made first.

Klassic goro is not being made, this is mk9 goro

[ambasah]

My favorite MK character. The newsletter indicated the original version was being produced and I could not be happier.

[Whirl Wind Boy]

Klassic goro is not being made, this is mk9 goro

The newsletter clearly stated that this was for the Klassic line. Klassic FTW!!!

[Hanzo]

Is it really a klassic version? Didnt jerry say it was coming in mk9 style? To me it looks exactly like the official mk9 render

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f82/the1likesaf/6e89b3e9b0318fa18a0841b7be2dd9a0.jpg

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/7/71161/1709797-goro_mk9render.jpg

[dEATHm3RCHANT]

I'd be OK with this. But if its a classic version then he would have only tidy whities on that are red and black.

why don't you read the newsletter?

"Next, is a tease of another Klassic Mortal Kombat 1:4 scale statue that will be coming soon…"

[Whirl Wind Boy]

Don't know how much clearer that can be for everyone.

[s_paulik87]

I am hoping Jerry just goofed and put "klassic" because mk9 goro would be superior. Also as stated, that is the exact pose in the mk9 art. You can see his fist pounding his open palm.

[Whirl Wind Boy]

yeah but who knows. Maybe the EX is armour and a MK9 base? No one knows anything other than what was stated in the email. "another Klassic" right after Klassic Scorpion.

I don't know why people just can't take what's said from the source as legit. Instead everyone knows for sure what everything is and that Jerry made a mistake? Bull ----.

People are just mad it's not MK9. No different than Klassic fanboys getting mad when a character is announced as MK9. I'm sure every major character will be represented eventually.

[Hanzo]

OK i just read the newsletter but jerry has been saying for months that all the bosses were coming in mk9 style so this is a big surprise,

still to me it looks exactly like the mk9 render. mk1 goros face looks totally different from the render shown, and thats a good thing because mk1 goro reminds me of baby sinclair

http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/30900000/Baby-Sinclair-dinosaurs-the-show-30931747-800-600.jpg

mk1 goro doesnt really do it for me but i guess we will see how this turns out

[MrYac]

i'm very excited that it might be in the klassic style, but it has been said many times the bosses won't be, so until Jerry comes on here and says one way or the other i won't get my hopes too up.

as i've said before though to me the "klassic" vs MK9 debate is more on the way the statue is presented then on the version of the character exactly, to me Klassic is mixed media with a plain base and MK9 is fully sculpted with a detailed base, thats why i prefer the Klassic, not because of the particular look of the character but in the presentation of the piece

[AstroWho]

I just want Goro to be MASSIVE !!!
Dying to know what the Variant will be!

[Comicbookguy]

why don't you read the newsletter?

"Next, is a tease of another Klassic Mortal Kombat 1:4 scale statue that will be coming soon…"

Crap I will pass if it's a classic version. Maybe a ex will be the mk9? Please Jerry! :drooling:

Agreed! I'm fine with MK9 Bosses only...but do prefer the Klassics because of the simple black base.

I'm ecstatic now because in all likely hood it'll be MK9 Goro because that isnt Klassic Goro's face. :buttrock: We shall have to wait and see though.

[loricstone]

:buttrock::buttrock::drooling::drooling::drooling::drooling: the news I have been waiting for OMFG i cannot wait



so is this confirmation Goro will be klassic versino and not mk9?

Yes, but it doesn't matter what version of Goro is done because they are so similar anyways. Same thing with Shao Kahn.

[7omous]

maybe the ex will be mk9

[MrYac]

i'd really love that pose but in the klassic statue style

[DRAGONTHEBOMB]

Ahhh Jerry your Awesome! Soo Happy there is going to be a 1/4 Goro!!!

[Comicbookguy]

maybe the ex will be mk9

Yes please!!! Mk9 ex!

[SARFARAZ]

Maybe it is the mk9 goro and the ex is the klassic?

[ThomasMak0524]

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110331100820/mk/images/5/52/Goroslair9.jpgI want to see the base... I am sure it's going to be sick, just like other MK9 bases.

http://images.wikia.com/mortalkombat/es/images/d/d9/Goro_mortal_kombat_wallpaper.jpg

[no gears]

Ya hopefully base isn't over the top and is more basic like Shao Kahns. Not really a fan of Scorpions or Kitanas bases

[Whirl Wind Boy]

I'm sure the base will be black like all of the other klassic bases.

[damienjakk]

I know he said classic, but that face is clearly MK9 and the tilted head with the fist in hand is looking to be taken directly from the MK9 render. Has Jerry ever put up a deliberate smoke screen to throw people off, or can we assume that tease is the actual product?

[no gears]

Oops thought this was for mk9. Prefer klassic so good news

[Darkhumor]

So Jerry responded in the "ask pcs" thread whether or not he meant Klassic Goro or MK9 Goro and his answer was "maybe it was a typo...maybe it wasnt."

Which leads me to think he may be doing both. Or quite possibly an ex for Klassic and reg for MK9!!

[MrYac]

was just about to post his response, but yeah guess we'll have to wait and see. hopefully it won't be too long till we get some more info

[Whirl Wind Boy]

Hey MK9 is cool for some folks. MK9 was actually my favorite of all the games. But i'm a Klassic man when it comes to these statues. Jerry don't take this Klassic Goro away from me!!!

On a side note it would be pretty cool if one was klassic and one wasn't. Ex and regular i mean.

[Hanzo]

Basically if you strip the armor and skirt from mk9 goro you will have a mk1 goro, if thats the case everyone will be happy

[Sigep756]

I'm really thinking that we could get an MK9/Klassic piece as EX and Reg somehow. Goro is not a character with drastically different appearances throughout the ages. I'm interested to see what the reveal will be...

[Gruson]

This is the actual MK1 Goro and I love this face:
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121210034649/mortalkombat/es/images/f/fd/Goro_Mortal_Kombat.PNG

http://www.mortalkombatwarehouse.com/mk1/goro/sprites/stance/a1.gif

[MrYac]

but people need to remember MK1 Goro looked like that because he was made of clay, so i don't think holding his current more detailed look against him is exactly fair. but all in all he is my biggest want from this line so i'm pretty excited, hopefully the newsletter was right and he'll be Klassic styled so he can hang out with my ninjas :)

Then he wouldnt be Klassic Goro. Klassic Goro looked like he did in MK1, throughout the Klassic trilogy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUhfWGQHM2Q

[MrYac]

i am aware of that, i'm just saying it's probably not going to look like clay Goro weather he's in the klassic line or not. but thanks for the video, always love seeing the big guy in action :)

If the statue pose will be exactly like that ..... man for me it just boring. he just like Evil super TMNT.
i will wait for the picture reveal from pcs

[Darkhumor]

i am aware of that, i'm just saying it's probably not going to look like clay Goro weather he's in the klassic line or not. but thanks for the video, always love seeing the big guy in action :)



Then that would kind of defeat the purpose of calling it Klassic. But I do see what youre saying.

Yeah.. watching those video's have been giving me a surge of nostalgia. I wonder why they stopped with the realism and started using character sketches? I wish they would go back to real looking characters again.

[premium_substit]

I think you guys nailed it - one version will be MK9 Goro with MK9 attire, and one version will be Mk9 Goro with klassic attire and base (which is pretty much the same thing) - or jerry keeps the base simple to 'blend' in with both.

The prospect of a 1:4 Goro and first MK Monster has me pumped either way.. I hope everyone supports the hell out of the big 'G so we see the other big guys too

Guaranteed to sell out!!

[MrYac]

i'm fine if he does both versions as long as i can get my hands on the klassic. i am super excited that theres even the chance as i had already sworn off all the big guys as being stuck in MK9 only land

[jinkazama]

Hey guys, i asked Jerry a while ago if the Goro statue was going to be MK9 or klassic, and he said it was going to be MK9.

Hey guys, i asked Jerry a while ago if the Goro statue was going to be MK9 or klassic, and he said it was going to be MK9.

and that was the answer awhile ago, but he did also say awhile ago that of the bosses Goro would be the one most likely to not be in an action pose, and the recent news letter said "klassic" and when i asked him in the ask thread

the newsletter was a bit confusing, is Goro Klassic style statue or MK9?

Maybe it was a typo...maybe not !

so as of this moment it's still up in the air what he's going to end up being

[s_paulik87]

I would actually prefer Goro on a black base in his mk9 pose

[MrYac]

i would love that. weather he has his armor or not i don't much care, i'm just hoping for a nice neutral pose with a simple black base

[s_paulik87]

i would love that. weather he has his armor or not i don't much care, i'm just hoping for a nice neutral pose with a simple black base

looking at the teaser pic it's pretty obvious he is in that pose. That is what I care about most. To me that is a neutral pose. If it has to be klassic Goro to get that pose then so be it. I could deal with no armor, even though MK9 Goro looks so much better with his armor and tabbard, the pose is what I care about most.

[NWO SCUM]

I will get this because I am a very good looking man.

[Vracula]

I will get this because I want to be good looking like him ^

[damienjakk]

Sorry if this was asked, or not known, but to the people who have been carefully keeping track of the MK release schedule, when do you predict Goro will go up for pre-order?

For the most part I'm a patient person, but I'll be out of the country from the end of March til Mid April. Do you think it will go up by then, or will I have time after I get back? Again, I realize it's just estimates, but I haven't been keeping up with the schedule for quite some time. Thanks.

[Hanzo]

Goro should be out by march 2015 or maybe 2016 so you will be ok :)

[damienjakk]

Goro should be out by march 2015 or maybe 2016 so you will be ok :)

You'll be fine. Klassic Subzero will be next. I believe unless something has changed Klassic Mileena would be after that. Plus you have to consider the Scorpion bust and Lui Kang Diorama. Plus an couple unannounced MK9 statues all likely to go up before Goro. I'm not expecting this thing to go up for pre-order until June-July at the earliest. If not i still think your very safe.

[premium_substit]

I have heard word of a good looking man who is in search of a Goro

Jerry said the mk diorama was canceled for reasons he cannot discuss.

[Sabinator]

I remember Jerry saying that he's going to try do one Klassic and one mk9 alternating every month so if Klassic Sub-Zero is this month we could potentially see it before June hopefully

[s_paulik87]

I remember Jerry saying that he's going to try do one Klassic and one mk9 alternating every month so if Klassic Sub-Zero is this month we could potentially see it before June hopefully

he didn't say 1 klassic 1 mk9 switching off every month. He said something like 1 mk piece per month, and that the klassic and mk9 would alternate. There are 4 lines on mk. Klassic 1/4 scale. mk9 1/4 scale. life size busts. dioramas.

So technically it could go something like this.

Klassic
Bust
Dio
MK9
Bust
Dio
Klassic
MK9
Bust
Dio
Klassic.


Get where I'm goin with it? so it could really be 3 or 4 months between klassic 1/4 scale and mk9 1/4 scale.

[I and I]

And, dont forget, we dont know for sure if this is going to be klassic or not...

[jinkazama]

If you look closely at the teaser pic of Goro, you can see he's posed palming his fist in his other hand, which DEFINETLY resembles one of the pictures someone posted of Goro in this thread of him from MK9[go back a few pages in this thread and you'll see it].Cheers.

[The SHOGUN]

I hope Jerry creates his Ultimate Goro, but please no armor.

Stumbled acros this digital custom Goro render, i'm diggin' it. Let's hope Jerry's is as nasty as this one. I like this render because the arm position accentuates his tremendous size and power.

PCS isn't exactly causing UPS and Fed-Ex any overtime, either. We have had plenty of orders go up but what exactly has been released? MK9 Scorpion and....:tumblew:

Pretty much the same for me...MK9 is my favorite game but for some reason I prefer the Klassics in statue forum. Doesn't make much sense when you think about it, though. :)

[Comicbookguy]

Mk9 hopefully with all armor. I love the look of the armor looks much more intense.

[SideShowJoe]

And, dont forget, we dont know for sure if this is going to be klassic or not...

It says on newsletter that its classic goro!!

[Erihppas]

Exactly. I think John Cleary also confirmed it's that pose in a subtle way.

[I and I]

It says on newsletter that its classic goro!!



the newsletter was a bit confusing, is Goro Klassic style statue or MK9?
Maybe it was a typo...maybe not !

:)

[loricstone]

Classic? :banghead:

Classic?? :ignore:

[MrYac]

i just don't think Goro lends himself well to an action pose, so thasts why i hope he stays more in the klassic style then the mk9 style. and again as i've said many times i mean style of the statues more then style of the character

[Quicksilver]

Pretty much the same for me...MK9 is my favorite game but for some reason I prefer the Klassics in statue forum. Doesn't make much sense when you think about it, though. :)

same deal for me, MK9 is my fave MK because it has the most content and the funnest mechanics and graphics, but when I need a nostalgia kick ill play MK2 or Trilogy, doesnt mean just because MK9 is the best MK that you cant prefer the design of the old games, I definitely do!

[supermetroid]

MK9 Goro looks better imo, even though I like most of the klassics more (especially the ninjas). I hope he has a plain black base or at least not over the top like others.

[Gorolives]

Best ever!

[MrYac]

i have been tempted to buy that one, haha in fact i remember Jerry once telling me that he could "do much better" this was back when he was still just hinting at getting MK so i decided to believe him and wait, and now it looks like it may pay off:D

[Hanzo]

I hope Jerry creates his Ultimate Goro, but please no armor.

Stumbled acros this digital custom Goro render, i'm diggin' it. Let's hope Jerry's is as nasty as this one. I like this render because the arm position accentuates his tremendous size and power.
http://www.manufato.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/goro-wip-19.jpg

damn, something like this pose would be epic, looks like he is going to tear you apart. but he looks so naked wearing just that thong, he definitely he needs his mk9 armor to avoid all eyes going straight to his junk

[s_paulik87]

That's why I think the armor would be a no brainer. Just man panties is no bueno.

[Comicbookguy]

Yes armor please. I don't want to see his junk

I want this to be as classic as possible, but I'm cool if Jerry gives him the MK9 drawers, but please no armor.

It reminds me of Captain Freedom's armor from Running Man, silly and unecessary.

:laugh:

or if Jerry wants get serious, make the MK9 version the Regular and the KLASSIC the super limited Exclusive :)

[Darkhumor]

That's why I think the armor would be a no brainer. Just man panties is no bueno.

:iagree:

yes.. man panties no bueno. Give us the armor!

John Cleary is this your masterpiece in progress as well?

[Hanzo]

His armor doesnt take that much space on his body, is basically just some bracers and a shoulder cover, thats it, it gives the character more detail, this is not the ufc, is mortal kombat, and if pcs decides to go with the gstring klassic goro please give him some big testicles to fill them up, he is the mk champion for 9000 years, he needs to be packing

[s_paulik87]

Ha, yeah no whitey tighteys smuggling grapes, put some basketballs in there at least if it is classic Goro.

[Whirl Wind Boy]

Goro in his righty whities and Johnny Cage doing the nut punch. That way I can make a MK 1 diorama!

[Quicksilver]

Best ever!

I have this statue, I love it, but depending on how good Jerry's Goro comes out, it might hit the bay...

[johnclone]

I have to weigh in here, do you really think that the sculptor, when he creates a piece, is going to be thinking intently about the size of the testicles of his subject? :rolleyes:

[Hanzo]

No but it should be on his list to make it so that it matches the rest of his body.

[MrYac]

well he is part dragon, so it's entirly possible he has a lizards anatomy down there

[Hanzo]

So the only part dragon he has is his genitalia lol becsuse the rest of his body looks like a human just bigger and with a set of extra arms. If that was the case he doesnt need to cover that. There is nothing to cover there

[MrYac]

he is sort of human shaped but thats about it for looking human, he's giant has 4 arms a distorted face and only 3 fingers and toes, he also has lizardy spots on his back, and really if you didn't have any visible junk would you be so quick to show it off by not covering said area?

[premium_substit]

I understand Goro's anger now. If i had 4 hands and was gifted with the c0ck of a dragon, I would be sexually frustrated too.

[redhulk27]

[redhulk27]

Lol. True,Please hurray Jerry and release something. I dont want to come to this thread and the first thing I read about is Goro's hidden weapon.

[artofgarduno]

Goro Kintaro and Shao Kahn together is a dream come true!!!!!!!!

[redhulk27]

Goro Kintaro and Shao Kahn together is a dream come true!!!!!!!!

Motaro would make thar dream even sweeter!!

[MrYac]

i don't even want to think of how huge Motaro would be

[damienjakk]

I'd love to have a Kintaro like this side by side with Goro.

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120804180656/mk/images/1/1b/Kintaromk9.png

[MrYac]

here's hoping exclusive Kintaro will be flocked;)

[furycat]

i think i will choose motaro over goro

[s_paulik87]

Damn, Klassic outfit, with MK9 pose. Super Excited Still 24 inches!


And finally, everyone's favorite four-armed Shokan Warrior, GORO from MORTAL KOMBAT - he is going to be a humongous 60cm of awesome !

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z421/s_paulik87/securedownload_zpscd309ef2.jpg

I'm glad it's Klassic!!! He looks awesome! Hope it's approved!

[GenoToys]

Nice Pose as well,This thing is gonna rock.

Love the pose as well...just simple..he's gonna be huge!

[loricstone]

This looks great! For the bosses I don't care what version game they are from. Goro is Goro, shoulder pads or not.

Love the pose. The perfect pose to me in fact.

[rome_325]

Damn, looks like another PO for me... Keep up the good work PCS!!!

(Please don't be a 2016 release)

Chris

[rhy]

That pose is all Goro

[MrYac]

Damn, Klassic outfit, with MK9 pose. Super Excited Still 24 inches!

best of both worlds, awesome updated look awesome simple Klassic execution. and i'd be willing to wager the exclusive will be the shoulder armor

[samhain81]

A little obscured with the clench fist pose. Would have preferred an all out rage pose, like how he stands in the original game. I think it will look a little odd, since what we have already from the ninja's are all essentially their fighting stances. Might get bro to custom this one, if not too difficult

[Whirl Wind Boy]

This will be awesome! Going to be a huge hit!

[N3RDGASM]

This looks awesome!!!!

[7omous]

Would be great if he comes with the mk9 loincloth as an accessory. The shoulder/ankle pads aren't as essential. Now that would be the best of both worlds.

[Juggernaut]

The best choice of pose for Goro.

amazing

[Atheris]

EX will probably be swap out arm, leg and shoulder armour. Can't freaken wait for this!

Chris

[supermetroid]

Looks great! I hope if he does have switch out parts that the seams are hidden very well. For example my SS Rhino Ex is one of my favorite statues but the gap is very noticable (and it's much better than what some people received). I just think characters without shirts are much harder to pull off, even though Sagat's looks pretty good from pics.

[s_paulik87]

EX will probably be swap out arm, leg and shoulder armour. Can't freaken wait for this!

Chris

I don't see the bottom arms being removable just from the way they connect to the torso. I think an idea for the ex maybe switch out bottom hands with broken in half skull in each side.

[Juggernaut]

If this statue has seam lines because of switch out parts, this is a definite not buy.

As nice as the seam lines are hidden on Zangief and Sideshow Silver Surfer, the seam lines are there.

Edit. As Paulik stated. Change O Hands is an option.

For me it's the only accepted option as there will be natural seam lines

[Whirl Wind Boy]

Would be great if he comes with the mk9 loincloth as an accessory. The shoulder/ankle pads aren't as essential. Now that would be the best of both worlds.

This would be pretty cool!

[BarrelCannon]

60 cm=24 inches. sounds huge!

Why the MK statue production is faster then the sf line.

Mk fans only have 1 piece in hand and a bunch of delays.:banghead:

[Batminator]

Maybe the approval process is faster for the MK line?

[MrYac]

yeah it has been stated that the Capcom guys are a lot tougher on the approvals then the MK guys

approval is faster but production isn't :P

[Liad]

Wow, I wasn't that excited about Goro, but that's changed now! What a badass pose.

[actionjackson83]

That is one bad ass sculpt, very tempted to buy this one now as I always did like the design for Goro

[Hanzo]

Goro looks badass. Wish his hair was down though, it might look weird standing there with his hair like that like he had styling gel or something, but 24 inches damnn!!!!!

[biglebowski9999]

Yeah, almost two feet...that's enormous. Looks good.

[The SHOGUN]

happy to see Goro in this weeks newsletter.

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z421/s_paulik87/securedownload_zpscd309ef2.jpg

I don't like the pose. I dislike the position of the upper arms. This may be an official pose, but it's concealing and actually does one of the games most imposing characters a disservice.

I was hoping for the upper arms posed in a double bicep flexing pose or the upper arms outstretched, both highlighting his massive size and strength. If this is the final pose, I will be passing, it's just not the ideal representation I was hoping for.

[dao2]

I actually prefer the pose like this then having out stretched arms. Though if it was a tad lower to uncover more of his face that would be nice.

[Smooth Criminal]

epic pose cant wait!!!

[DeadGhostKnight]

Weirdly this is his MK9 pose but its part of the classic line...

[s_paulik87]

Weirdly this is his MK9 pose but its part of the classic line...

I figure Jerry decided to "meet in the middle" with the MK9/MK Klassic lines especially seeing as how the mk9 is cancelled.

The only thing I really don't like though , is that now im going to have mk9 action pose Shao kahn.... and Museum pose Goro T_T Jerry, scrap dat shao kahn action pose and do him as stoic museum! xD

[DeadGhostKnight]

Honestly with a character like Goro i don't know why Jerry doesn't use the same sculpt and make a classic one with stretched out arms and an MK9 one in this pose and a more detailed/diorama base.

With these being sculpted digitally surely changing the arm position isn't that much of a task?

[Hanzo]

His mk9 fighting pose would had been epic to display facing a mk2 pose kintaro

[Smooth Criminal]

Hes going up for preorder around Comic Con wow thats preety soon!!

[MrYac]

Hes going up for preorder around Comic Con wow thats preety soon!!

yeah. makes me regret passing on Subs a little less as I certainly wouldn't have had the cash for both of them and Goro is a much bigger want for me

[labanog]

loving this pose! looks like a winner tobe,just happy it has the klassic MK base,will look cool with the rest

Your definitely in the minority on this one.

Pose is badass. Sculpt looks outstanding.

If some of you guys are passing on one of the coolest MK characters ever reproduced in statue form in 20 years simply because his upper arms aren't to your liking....your nuts.

Honestly, some of the nit picking going on now is boardeline trolling. This statue will sell like crazy when it's released, then will go on to be worth all kinds.

You'll regret it later I guarantee it!

Cool with me though. Less competition on PO day.

Chris

[furycat]

his pose is good just what s paulie shown us in the 2nd page.

if just if he have more clothes i think it will be great. : )

[Darkhumor]

Even if you like the pose, you cant deny this is MK9 Goro. Just because he doesnt have his body armor or loin cloth and has a regular klassic base, still doesnt make him Klassic. Face is MK9. Pose is from MK9.

[premium_substit]

What a Monster.. this is now my #1 most anticipated piece.. I've been waiting along time for this.. Mythology/MK at it's finest.. so glad it's klassic also

[MrYac]

I dont mind it. I just hate the base. Its bland, its boring. I would have much preferred a diorama base.

[MrYac]

the gaudy bases are what I disliked most about the MK9 line, I love the simple base. doesn't detract from the statue and more importantly they all fit together nicely

[DRAGONTHEBOMB]

Wow can't wait he is gonna be huge! I like the classic black base

[TheHulk]

I do not collect MK but damn I will certainly get Goro! From the looks of the pose I'm in.

[Smooth Criminal]

the gaudy bases are what I disliked most about the MK9 line, I love the simple base. doesn't detract from the statue and more importantly they all fit together nicely

Exactly how i feel simple base is way vetter puts the focus on the character and sculpt!!! and love that it will look awesome with the ninjas instead of looking out of place!!

[GenoToys]

:goodpost: MrYac speaks the truth!

[equi-nox76]

So this will be part of the classic line. Will it have any mixed media features?

[Darkhumor]

the gaudy bases are what I disliked most about the MK9 line, I love the simple base. doesn't detract from the statue and more importantly they all fit together nicely

The way they look now, anything will take the focus right off of those klassic statues. If the MK klassic pieces were immensely detailed, the diorama bases would not detract from the over all sculpt. The sculpture itself is bland. Thats your reason why a diorama base would detract from the sculpt. There's barely anything to look at on them. A piece of cloth. A few grooves in the musculature areas and a bit of shading. Thats it. Theres nothing much else you can appreciate, other than for nostalgic purposes.

Although I can agree that the MK9 Scorpion base is a bit tacky, Shao Kahns looks great and far from gaudy. With a bit of creativity, a diorama can enhance a sculpt and make it look better than if it were just a stand alone piece.

[premium_substit]

Can't believe we are getting this 8'2" 4-armed monster in true 1:4.. it will drawf other collectibles..

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091108190159/mk/images/6/66/GordanceYEA%21.gif

[artofgarduno]

The hands are way to small. Goro looks way to skinny hes supposed to be more massive like the hulk. He needs a way thicker frame. I do not like the hands covering his chest and face area. The main drawback is his size. Hes way to skinny to be goro. All four of his hands need to be opened up and spread out like hes calling for a fight. I hope these areas can be addressed. His chest is a bit to high and needs to be lowered

[7omous]

the top two hands can be lowered a little as not to hide his face maybe the viewing angle were getting makes it seem like its higher up.

[damienjakk]

If there is a god, please let there be an EX version with MK9 armor and a base to match the other MK9 statues. :praying:

Chris

I'm terribly sorry, but i disagree with everything you said :dork:

The pose is not badass, as a matter of fact i find it slightly boring. I want Goro in an aggressive on-guard fighting pose, just like every other Mortal Kombat statue released, this is NOT a fighting pose. If a fighting pose was not possible, i would be interested in a pose that highlights his 4 arms. This pose does not emphasize his 4 arms. As said before the upper arms are concealing his face, and being crossed infront of his body it makes them kind of tough to make out, further detracting from the overall portrait.

Sadly i feel the pose of the upper arms is not taking full advantage of the character's extraordinary 4-armed physique.

Goro is awesome, aside from Sub-Zero and Scorpion, he is my favorite. However, I only buy definitive representations of characters and currently this pose for me, is not "it"

Chris, i honestly don't think you have any idea what internet trolling is. What i did was express my opinion in a respectful way giving reasons and examples to my opinions. Sorry, but please don't accuse me of trolling because my opinion is different that yours :thumbs2:

If i pass i promise i won't regret it as there's no reason to acquire something you're not totally happy with.



I'd be happy with any other pose that has the arms outstretched, in an aggressive pose, NOT concealing the arms:

I have to agree with artofgarduno and The Shogun. I don't like the MK9 pose and sculpt either. Would have loved a pose like this one:

http://www.mortalkombatwarehouse.com/mk1/goro/sprites/victory/03.gif

or this:

http://www.mortalkombatwarehouse.com/mk1/goro/sprites/stance/t01.gif

Sculpt doesnt look like the Klassic Goro.

[Quest99]

I also think he is a bit too small. I remember him being more beefy. As for his upper arms, maybe the Ex will come with switchable arms! :)

[The SHOGUN]

If the EX has switchable upper arms, I will be ordering!

[The SHOGUN]

Yes, I completley agree!

I want this piece to be perfect because i think we're only going to get on Goro.

[damienjakk]

He definitely needs to be a bit beefier, and his upper hands need to be lowered. What I don't understand is why make a classic Goro but then use a lot of inspiration from the MK9 Goro? ATM he doesn't look like classic Goro, but more like MK9 Goro with a lot of missing pieces, unless they will be added later? I was always of the opinion that you go 100% in one direction on things like this and completely please one side instead of half way pleasing both. In any case though I hope they beef up all arms, lower the upper arms, and even deflate his chest a bit.

Disclaimer - I too am by no means trolling and only offering my opinion as I want a as close to perfection Goro as well.

I'm seeing what you're saying.. If anything, all the art gives the illusion that his upper arms are slightly more big/enlongated.. The tease pic right now does 2 things: makes his pecks look less big, and makes his arms look like 2 seperate entities ('concealing' the upper arms is a good way of putting it).. I still love it, but it's not as imposing as it could be.. having the upper arms out would be a better way to take advantage of character's assets as you say.. more flow and empowerment.. but i'm still super pumped, and glad Jerry isn't skimping on scale at least in terms of height.. so yea I'd love to see some switch-out arms.. also agree he could use a little more mass, this guy is an anatomical freak of nature

[biglebowski9999]

What I don't understand is why make a classic Goro but then use a lot of inspiration from the MK9 Goro?

This might be an attempt to appeal to BOTH types of collectors, Klassic and MK9. It's a Klassics release but looks more MK9. They might be trying to appease the pissed off MK9 collectors by giving them a Goro that would fit in their collections, too.

Only problem with this strategy is it very well could backfire on them. If it's not Klassic enough then that segment won't want him and some MK9 buyers won't want him because he's not fully MK9 (plain base).

Me too homie, me too...i want this guy NAILED!

I'm currently trying to sculpt Goro with super-sculpey, what a Disaster :bawling: It's the first character i've tried to sculpt and let me tell you his physique is a nightmare to get right! on my sculpt, the main problem areas are the position of his lower shoulders/deltoids and more troublesome is his torso, specifically the abdomen, rib cage and pecs.

After seeing your side by side pics, of this WIP the torso seems too elongated and the pecs are too high up. I think if Jerry reduced the length of the rib cage it would drop the pecs down to a more natural (for Goro) position. But making that minor tweak presents an entirely new problem regarding the position of his lower arms according to his torso/abdomen. A sculptors nightmare, indeed!

Another problem i've experienced with sculpting Goro is the physique variance with my reference photos. Every single reference photo i'm using depicts Goro's physique slightly differently.

as premium_substit said Goro is an anatomical freak of nature :goodpost:

This is exactly my problem with it ATM. As an MK9 collector I'm definitely passing on it for the time being unless some exclusive or alternate is offered with the armor, gauntlets, etc. I wonder how classic collectors are gonna react to it when we see the final product, cause it's definitely looking more MK9-ish to me overall.

I'm doing Klassic only and I'm passing on this, too.

[MrYac]

I've said this before about Goro but the way he looks now is the way he looked then. you can't equate graphic limitations to character design. clothes aside (and lets be honest he's not wearing much in either form) he has not changed, only his graphics have

I want Goro in an aggressive on-guard fighting pose, just like every other Mortal Kombat statue released, this is NOT a fighting pose. If a fighting pose was not possible, i would be interested in a pose that highlights his 4 arms. This pose does not emphasize his 4 arms. As said before the upper arms are concealing his face, and being crossed infront of his body it makes them kind of tough to make out, further detracting from the overall portrait.

Sadly i feel the pose of the upper arms is not taking full advantage of the character's extraordinary 4-armed physique.

Goro is awesome, aside from Sub-Zero and Scorpion, he is my favorite. However, I only buy definitive representations of characters and currently this pose for me, is not "it"

Chris, i honestly don't think you have any idea what internet trolling is. What i did was express my opinion in a respectful way giving reasons and examples to my opinions. Sorry, but please don't accuse me of trolling because my opinion is different that yours :thumbs2:

If i pass i promise i won't regret it as there's no reason to acquire something you're not totally happy with.



I'd be happy with any other pose that has the arms outstretched, in an aggressive pose, NOT concealing the arms:

I agree. and give goro way more mass. Make his hands and arms bigger. His arms are supposed to be huge. Even overpowering his legs.

[loricstone]

The hands are way to small. Goro looks way to skinny hes supposed to be more massive like the hulk. He needs a way thicker frame. I do not like the hands covering his chest and face area. The main drawback is his size. Hes way to skinny to be goro. All four of his hands need to be opened up and spread out like hes calling for a fight. I hope these areas can be addressed. His chest is a bit to high and needs to be lowered

He looks exactly like the reference art he was taken from. What the hell are you talking about?:thinking:

I'm not saying that smart alecky, I'm just not following what you are referring to.:peoples:

[loricstone]

The way they look now, anything will take the focus right off of those klassic statues. If the MK klassic pieces were immensely detailed, the diorama bases would not detract from the over all sculpt. The sculpture itself is bland. Thats your reason why a diorama base would detract from the sculpt. There's barely anything to look at on them. A piece of cloth. A few grooves in the musculature areas and a bit of shading. Thats it. Theres nothing much else you can appreciate, other than for nostalgic purposes.

Although I can agree that the MK9 Scorpion base is a bit tacky, Shao Kahns looks great and far from gaudy. With a bit of creativity, a diorama can enhance a sculpt and make it look better than if it were just a stand alone piece.

I follow you 100%. Everyone has their own opinion though.

Mr. Yac confuses me. You want simple MK Klassic boring stuff, but you prefer the more detailed MOTU 200X stuff.:confused:

Now don't get me wrong, I love the 200X MOTU stuff too:), but I don't get his tastes.

This is not a judgement on his preference, just a lack of comprehension on my part.

[loricstone]

If there is a god, please let there be an EX version with MK9 armor and a base to match the other MK9 statues. :praying:

I'd buy that over the Klassic version. Although I will still get the Klassic look if an MK9 armor one isn't offered.

Like I said, Goro is Goro.

[The Mule]

Classic Goro should squat more indeed.

[artofgarduno]

He looks exactly like the reference art he was taken from. What the hell are you talking about?:thinking:

I'm not saying that smart alecky, I'm just not following what you are referring to.:peoples:

He does not look like the reference art. His hands are clearly bigger, arms are more massive, torso is too long in the final sculpt.

[Quicksilver]

he needs to be way beefier...also not a fan of the mk9 pose for a "klassic" sculpt

also I hope has his side sash

[Ridimous]

I like the pose and just the way it is. Are we gonna be able to see this at San Diego Comic Con?

[Atheris]

Man.......this thread is about to get ugly. I'm out of here.

Jerry....good luck.

[MrYac]

hey you made me happy Jerry and at the end of the day isn't that what it's all about ;)

[samhain81]

I know what it is. There are too many clenched fists. I think the bottom two arms need to have open hands to get a full view of the size of Goros hands.

[ambasah]

Definite buy for me, but more mass would be a good thing,

I would have also preferred all his arms outstretched, ready to kick ass.

[Whirl Wind Boy]

Goro is prefect imo Jerry! I will purchase this baby.

Haters going to hate. Can't please everyone. Don't listen to the naysayers!

[I and I]

I am confused though, didn't you say that you weren't allowed to mix different games? Or was it just different characters?

[samhain81]

Don't listen to the naysayers? Do you know how pathetic you sound?

Its people voicing their opinions and critique on a piece. because they are interested in it. Stop sounding like a lovechild and let people express their interest/disinterest on a peice.

[Gruson]

Can't believe we are getting this 8'2" 4-armed monster in true 1:4.. it will drawf other collectibles..

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091108190159/mk/images/6/66/GordanceYEA%21.gif

I wish it were more like the true classic Goro with the bigger hands and original MK1 head/face like the above gif. That said, it's huge and Goro so I will be buying! When I see the piece as it is now I think of MK9 Goro wearing classic clothing.

I just think it would help greatly, at the very least, if Goro has some of his hands open palm. I don't think all of them should be closed.

That's a fair assessment. But if they are left as is, it is perfectly fine. If they are changed, it is perfectly fine as well.

[kevin2323]

so Jerry basically confirmed goro as a "Klassic" goro. very weird.

[Quicksilver]

If hes gonna be in the klassic costume why not give him a klassic iconic pose? This doesn't make any sense to me. This is the skinnier modern style goro with modern pose...but with a klassic costume? Might have to rethink this purchase. Don't ruin a good thing with the klassic line by starting to mix in modern elements...it's klassic or modern, mixing won't please klassic or modern fans

Yea thats why i asked about it in the ask pcs thread. Hope to hear the reasoning behind it.

I love that he is gonna be huge 24" but imagine him that size AND in the klassic come at me bro stance. Klassic goro looked like a wild beast. Mk9 goro looks more refined

[SideShowJoe]

So does anyone know or have asked Jerry if that pick is still pending or is that 100% confirmed release sculpt??

[MrYac]

well it said "pending approval" on the picture, so i'm guessing not approved just yet

[VS1976]

I think it looks fine.

[SideShowJoe]

Oh I'm getting it regardless because I love goro! I think pose is great but would like action pose or win pose!!

[Atheris]

I think this will look fantastic in person. Not trying to sound like as PCS kiss a$$, but honestly just try to imagine this piece sitting infront of you as a completed sculpt. Many of you are throwing a fit over a single 3" picture taken from a single POV. His upper hands looker higher than they are because your looking up at him. If this teaser pic was shown an inch higher you would see his complete face and shoulders and would probably look totally different. I think some people should wait for the full completed reveal before passing heavy criticism.

These guys know what their doing, that's why they are in the business. Let them do their thing and stop b!tching before they've even had a chance to finish. Expressing opinions is one thing, but the way some of you going about it totally rude and unnecessary.

"Hey Jerry I would HATE to pass on this piece if the arms aren't changed...hmm...o well"

Like if a bunch of you girls blackmail the guy he will bow to your every command and threat. Give me a break. Im pissed off FOR Jerry just reading some of the comments.

Personally I would keep it as is and when you've missed out and it shows up looking better than you expected, you can join comicbookguy in his world of ignorance and bliss.

[premium_substit]

So they're working on the next monster (ask PCS).. don't know if it is Motaro, Kintaro or Sheeva.. but if Goro is 24" at 8'2", just imagine Motaro at 8'5".. and he's half fricken horse.. will be an absolute beast.. it will trump everything :D

[MrYac]

Motaro would be scary big, can't wait to see him some day

[damienjakk]

We tried to make it so we could do interchangeable armour but it required ugly separations. So we decided against it.

So unfortunately Goro is going to be Klassic only for now.

Well that puts a lot of questions concerns to rest. I know I'll be passing on him now unfortunately, but it will simply free up my money to buy another PCS statue. I'm curious what classic collectors think about this now that we know that it's certainly supposed to be classic in design despite a lot of the MK9 influence.

Come join us Chris we have cookies and m....glue!!

[Sigep756]

Goro looks great, Klassic collectors should be elated.

[dEATHm3RCHANT]

Looks awesome and I trust Jerry's judgement for the final revision.
