Subz looks great, but seeing as he was originally intended to go with Scorpion i'm 'afraid' the stand will be totally crazy :p If they keep the base simple i'd love to have this :3

Subzero was the best ninja design in mk9 by far in my opinion. I hope pcs keeps his arms that size and doesnt make them big and ridiculous as in the game

Tbh...I'm glad this line is ending. Mk9 came out in 2011 and the game is deader than a door nail. This line should have been timed a little better imo. One near the start of the game and a few in the "meat" of the game and one or two near the end. The issue with mk game specific statues is the mk roster has different attire EVERY game so it's kind of a bad idea, unlike sf where they always wear their iconic garb

Gruson

I was thinking the same thing, I've already accepted the fact that I'll probably be repairing it myself. Doesn't look like magnets will be an issue at least. I don't see any parts of the pose that might suggest they'll be fighting gravity.

Hopefully not but with loose magnets, I don't want things balancing. Loose magnets I can fix. Broken pieces, parts not sitting exactly where should be was something I didn't expect from PCS when I first started buying from them.

Just a guess, but Scamco did an iceball pose already, so maybe Jerry wanted to do something different. Just my opinion, but the iceball pose is a bit too Hadouken-ish for my taste.

I would have liked it to be doing an Ice ball pose as well, but I still think this looks excellent. I'll definitely be buying it

Yes I have, and TYM is like the gamefaqs of MK. If you are using that as your measuring stick for MK9 then it's no wonder you are so misinformed. There are still weekly streams of it, videos uploaded to youtube regularly, and a petition to get one final patch update for balance purposes since it's still being played.

It could be 10 years down the line and i'd still want statues based on the MK9 designs because i think they nailed pretty much everyone in giving them a modern update but sticking with what makes them recognizable.

Also i personally don't want my fighting game characters in museum poses on black discs, i want them on themed bases doing kick ass poses or iconic special moves.

Who knows what MK10 could bring, the designs might be horrible.

I agree. I heard about MK9 before I saw the first E3 videos and all I could think of was how horrible the last gen MKs were (MKDA, MKD, MKA) Not only were they horrible games, but for every cool design we got 9 atrocious ones like grandpa Sub Zero, dinosaur Reptile, and Shredder Smoke wearing suspenders. MK9 pleasantly surprised me with their modern take on the characters. MK10 could very well be an awesome game, but I think if they do any redesigns it could be hit or miss with the costumes which in turn could leave us with some very underwhelming statues. I'm not too found of the Scorpion design in Injustice, so I'm a bit worried what MK10 might bring in that regard.

Eww injustice scorpion.... That design is so bad. Looked decent in the concept art but actual in game looks horrible.

Atheris
08-26-2013, 02:28 PM
Only thing I don't like on the injustice Scorpion is the ridiculous looking swords above his shoulders and the shredder spikes on his wrist. Everything else about the design looks awesome. I really like the hooded look on him also, he looks much darker and sinister.

not too big on the sword or the full twist of the pose. Maybe there Kould be some hand options either on Reg or Ex doesnt matter. like one version just like the pic with an empty hand and a sword hand, and the other Kould be like no sword but the other hand is forming an ice ball or something. Ice is much more representative of Subs than a sword is

His sword is made of ice.

Plus it was the coolest new feature for MK9 subs. The ice sword is a must for this piece and I believe was a good choice to have it included.

He does have quite a few moves involving his icicle sword in mk9 so it makes sense and fits sz perfect. But I'm still not a fan of it. Still excited to see this piece though. The translucent pieces are going to be sick!

Will the sword be more like the one that Atheris posted? More like an Icicle, thats how it is in MK9.

The one on the sketch looks more like his MK vs DC one.

damn seeing it in Kolor totally Khanges it for me lol that looks fantastic! Of Kourse either way Im all in on this one I passed on SYCO as soon as I heard this would someday exist.

That sorta pose feels like it would need some sort of weapon which is why I thought a Kool Ex would be switch out hands to either go sword or ice ball so either way he has a weapon and both the sword lovers and haters are happy (sword is growing on me and i guess since every other MK9 piece has a weapon it makes sense, but im totally not getting on board with sword being iconic subzero lol lets not get krazy).

Also, love the base and kant wait to find out what the Ex is! Im bummed MK9 line got scrapped but at least my favorites made it in

Atheris
08-26-2013, 05:13 PM
In his current pose all you would have to do is give him switch out arms with his hands beside his waist like he's about to throw an ice ball. I works both ways actually.

Since we get a MK9 Sub-Zero to match the MK9 Scorpion, is there a chance that we'll get a MK9 Mileena to match MK9 Kitana too?

I'm all in for MK9 statues, it's so sad, that the line get's dropped for an not even out MK10 game. Would be cool if there would be an mind change and the mk9 line won't get dropped.

Hi, Jerry.I just have a few questions for you, which are=
A.Are you currently working on a 1/4 Skeletor statue?
B.Since I last asked you, have you started work on a 1/4 Kintaro statue?
C.If I wanted to purchase the exclusive version of the MK9 1/4 Sub Zero statue, would I need to start an account with your website, or do you have a specific paypal email address I could send a payment too?
D.And finally, is there a chance the regular version of the MK9 1/4 Sub Zero statue will come with an extra set of arms, so that Sub Zero can be posed firing his ice ball?Cheers!

Hey guys, Jerry just confirmed that the 1/4 MK9 Sub Zero statue's eyes will have pupils, not plain white eyes for those who were wondering.Cheers!

Was Scorpion packaged poorly or something? I only ask because mine had no problems with breaks or the magnets not working.

It's an ice blade he uses in the game. That said, it isn't a pose that screams Sub-Zero to me. We'll see though.

The pose screams sub zero to me because he's gonna have switchable arms for the ice ball which will make this thing a home run watch...

s_paulik87
12-15-2013, 04:36 PM
Jerry eluded to the ice ball , but in a later post he kinda back tracked about it. I'm not even sure how good that pose would work with the iceball. There would need to be 2 drastically different switch out arms for it which might screw up the proportions of his arms compared to the rest of the statue.

DeadGhostKnight
12-15-2013, 07:37 PM
The sword is ok, he's had it for a while now and the MK9 design is definitely the best one imo.

Like the SF line Jerry seems to be always forced ( I'm guessing ) into using official art.

Luckily in this case the art is ----ing awesome and i have no doubt the statue will be.

Excited to see him painted and what the EX will be. PO is only a few weeks away so guessing we won't be waiting long.

I may be wrong, most people aren't aware that sub zero has been using a sword for the last four MK games

MK Deception
MK Armageddon
MK 9

Using the sword in the newer games and the sword being iconic (like say Khans hammer, Kitanas fans, or Scorpions spear) sub-zero are two Kompletely different things. Still looks sweet tho Im psyched either way no matter what the Ex is! I passed on SYCOs sub-zero assuming this one will be worth the wait, and its definitely looking like the right decision

I don't think it will be to hard at all. The ice hands, sword and ice ball are all clear blue resin...no painting required. The base is much of the same. All they gatta try to get right is the shade of blue and detail on the armour. Its doable.

I'm curious how the ice ball stays in place though. Theirs no magnets and they are not attached to the hands at all. Does it just balance between the hands with friction? I guess theirs slots in the hands for it to sit in?

Exactly what I was thinking! Why do companies hurt themselves by the making the EX better than the regulars? People would have bought the EX regardless of what it was so they can have their flipping/bragging rights. Do companies not want their regulars to sell well? Both switch outs are good, but It would have been a better business decision to make the Ice ball the regular piece, not the EX. Unfortunately, Balrog's got the same problem. :doh!:

Would it really have mattered what the EX was? The purpose for an EX for any company is to guarantee the sale of (x) number of units. The sale of any regular units are icing on the cake. If the EX was reversed with the reg it would make no difference what so ever.

Eventually everything sells out, even regs. Producers are aware regs will take much longer to sell, they are in no rush. The focus was on the the sell out of the EX the whole time.

We make very little money on the regulars.

I have to sell FOUR regulars through traditional retailers to make the same profit we do off one direct sale. Thats how small our margin is. Thats also why we left Sideshow.

So it is a smart business decision for us to make the PCS EX as desirable as possible to drive sales to OUR website and not others.

Really the main reason we still even make regulars is for marketing purposes. People are always discovering us through their local comic shop or online retailer.

If we didnt sell regulars to them those new customers would have never learned about us.

Its easy to armchair QB businesses, but usually there is a good reason for what they do (that you may not have any idea of)

hahha fun no way I was afraid I didn't get one at that time. I was on time but my order didn't went in until 20mins later do to refreshing. but I don't think its going to sell out in 40mins because its mk9 not classic.

We make very little money on the regulars.

I have to sell FOUR regulars through traditional retailers to make the same profit we do off one direct sale. Thats how small our margin is. Thats also why we left Sideshow.

So it is a smart business decision for us to make the PCS EX as desirable as possible to drive sales to OUR website and not others.

Really the main reason we still even make regulars is for marketing purposes. People are always discovering us through their local comic shop or online retailer.

If we didnt sell regulars to them those new customers would have never learned about us.

Its easy to armchair QB businesses, but usually there is a good reason for what they do (that you may not have any idea of)

Interesting. I don't know how many customers you will get that share my mindset on a situation like this, but if I can't score the Ex then I won't be buying the statue at all. For me, the definitive version of a Sub-Zero sculpt would be him forming and harnessing ice. If both versions would have had the ice ball, I would have been happy accepting a Reg if I couldn't score an Ex.

Basically, instead of a guaranteed sale from a consumer such as myself, now it all depends on whether or not I am fortunate enough to land an Ex. With the strategy you just laid out, I am not sure how much that actually matters to you in the long run. I just felt I should express what I am sure is a concern for other like minded collectors.

I don't think it will be to hard at all. The ice hands, sword and ice ball are all clear blue resin...no painting required. The base is much of the same. All they gatta try to get right is the shade of blue and detail on the armour. Its doable.

I'm curious how the ice ball stays in place though. Theirs no magnets and they are not attached to the hands at all. Does it just balance between the hands with friction? I guess theirs slots in the hands for it to sit in?

Chris

They ARE attached to the hands. The Ice ball has a swirling effect with trails. Those trails connect to the hands.

Atheris
12-23-2013, 04:22 AM
If they were one piece you wouldn't be able to switch out the arms without breaking the ice ball connected to the hands. I think the ball just sits in grooves between the hands...as far as I can tell.

I appreciate the post and hope I didnt come across as snide. I just thought you might be interested in knowing more about why decisions are made.

The only thing I would have perhaps done differently in hindsight it to have made the EX ES higher. Maybe it should have been 300 not 200.

I personally think it was a good decision. Most people here (claim at least) that ES does not matter to them. So a lower ES does not make an EX piece exclusive enough. SS was crucified for the failed attempt of including art prints as the EX. You have to do something special. I realize the ice ball could have been on all pieces and the sword could have been the EX, but I think this way the EX is a true exclusive and will be highly sought-after. This will be a very quick sell-out.

I can second that, this is a very nice EX. I am tempted to buy him since I got Kitana. Damned I can't start another line.

Hey Jerry, if you like we could work something out on our website to get PCS known better in Germany.

Here's the site (still Beta testing version):

http://www.hot-collectibles.com/

I added a Pop Culture Shock section last week, because in the future I'll be announce everything new from PCS in there. Also I'll add a PCS Almanach there with all info I can get about every single statue you have ever made, like the ES changes on Guile, base problems on Zangief, different base for Ken, why the SF's are not 1/4 scale, lean issue on Vega and how to correct it properly, ... (working on it with Christina). A banner with a link or something would be possible too.

I haven't gotten into this line yet. I'm more of a Klassic guy myself. But PCS knocked this one out of the park! This is right up there with Shao Kahn.

I can't imagine the sick displays coming up. Imagine both Sub and Scorpions busts with both the scorpion and subs statues facing off against eachother. Epic!

Good point, but then I'd say chances are that the ball is attached to only one hand then.

Less than that, I'm betting 10-15.

I, much like the majority of the members here, appreciate that you care enough to share so much of your process. So no need to apologize. Just sharing my thoughts in case you find it useful in the future.

I will definitely be attempting to get an exclusive. It's an amazing piece of art.
