Just feels like a huge stretch to me when one of them is pretty much the best PCS has to offer (a boss character that looks unique, has a unique pose, is huge, has amazing presence, looks like perfect execution/quality etc etc) while the other is a green version of basically the same thing as 3 other statues (and more ninjas to come). That's not to say reptile isn't a perfect or near perfect representation of the character, but it just feels way less awesome to me from an MK fan and collector perspective. If grail just means price and rarity then yeah I guess it can be one (assuming ninja hype doesn't die) but if your also considering the character/sculpt etc then nah. The most exciting part for me tho is while I don't see Goro being topped like ever, you know at some point PCS is gonna raise the bar again and it's gonna be awesome. In case you can't tell this is probably the most excited I've been for a statue lol I can't wait!

I'm in a similar mindset to yourself, if I really wanted a Reptile to match the other three I could in part, have one of them repainted. Of course with a lack of lizard head but still, passable as klassic Reptile to those who would view it.
I too cannot wait for Goro, my most anticipated piece! I have a feeling that Kintaro when he arrives will be that piece that surpasses Goro. Could be a long wait, luckily I'm in no hurry.
By the way first post, been a reader for sometime.

First off, welcome to the forum!Also, completely agree with you regarding what you said about Kintaro.Goro's a great character, but Kintaro's better!

Kintaro definitely is not a better character than the original sub-boss who was a champion of MK n killed Kung Lao and got split punched in a movie after breaking $500 sun glasses lmao, but yeah it could potentially be a nicer statue (as long as it's klassic not modern) depending on style and execution

I could see possibly thinking he is a better looking character (of which I disagree since i'm no fan of the tiger look) but no way is he a better character since he was just a substitute Goro

Yeah that's what I mean. Same for motaro. Would make an awesome statue. I know I fought against that back in the poll threads but that's more about getting more 'important' characters in first. I feel like for MK the boss characters are really going to outshine the regular characters especially for klassic they're designs are way more interesting
