right now im a bit swamped with 1:3 MK so thats my focus for the rest fo this year and January.

I think the biggest reason for the low sales was due to them being color swaps. Contrary to them winning the most votes, people who actually collect MK (IMO) are tired of color swaps, and want the rest of the line to be complete first. I'm a die hard MK fan, so I will buy everything that comes out of Klassic, and have so far, including all 3 Cyber Ninjas. However, I strongly feel that sales will pick up for Klassic if the focus was around the remaining roster - Sonya, Kitana, Kano, Shang Tsung, Jax, and Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, and even Baraka (MM).

Going back to PCS' old roots is a fantastic announcement for the Klassic line as the ES will be lower, and we won't have as many variants(Keep it P1/P2/Regular). I am not one of them, but there are a lot of collectors that like the exclusivity, and this change I feel will attract those collectors, and even flippers, but that's OK as they are good for initial sales for the longevity of the line.

Again, these are just my opinions. The next MK Klassic piece should be a fan favorite/heavy hitter, and you will see that sales will be blooming if the ES/Variants are limited, which is what the line needs to stay alive.

Since the weapons on the MK 1/3's are metal , will Mileenas belt be metal as well?

Also, are the MK 1/3's coming with acrylic eyes?

Many collectors are hoping for acrylic eyes for more realism im the MK 1/3 line. I PO all the MK 1/3's..... Cant wait!!!!!

Thanks

Can we get UMK3 Ermac, Noob Saibot & Rain for the 1:4 Mortal Kombat Klassic line?

Also UMK3 Kitana

Win Poses would be Killer!

Jerry,
I got to say in my opinion.... I strongly disagree with this and believe you are probably making a mistake by not doing other characters. Yes the "A-lister" are doing well but really how many times can you make the same characters over and over again? Eventually the love for these could run dry. I love your work but frankly I am tired of always seeing the same repeat of characters. Please mix it up and keep the MK line alive. If you skeptical about making a specific statue then make a poll on here and see what happens.

Wondering if there is anything you can share with us about the production of the 1:3 Ryu statues? Curious how he's coming along. Thanks.

Production? He's not in production. He's waiting in line.

That is ok with me, just figuring out where my money is going and when so any kind of update would be helpful on this.
