On PCSC's Instagram page, there's a picture of the 1/3 Shao Kahn on his throne, saying that it's going up for pre order on the 30th of April!!![with more info to come this week...]

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I wish pcs would direct their painters to put a little more details in these plain video game characters it would justify price more


Skulls look plain add some age to them break up the colors
Add some weathering or battle damage to khans armor just to make him not seem so clean little details like that I love.
Helmet could use some oxidation as well as chest emblem
Add some dirt to bottom of cape to show wear
I hope they at least added cuticles to his nails seeing as this is 1/3 and they can add those details

They are just falling behind in the paint department like sideshow don’t get me wrong they are good but other companies are doing it better and damn shame because I always give PCs credit as the first to add those freckling detail to skin on their statues but that’s not enough now they can take it to the next level pcs.

I understand these are video game characters and most don’t like hyper ultra realistic like myself but for 1k I think some details need to be more present on the paintjob vs a 500 statue. I don’t see anything about this paint job screaming for me to go spend 1k on it. Khan 1/4 looks to be the same as this paint wise and he is half the price.

Although the throne on this statue is from MK2, the pose is actually MK3, if you google ''pictures of Shao Kahn on his throne'', you should find a picture of him from MK3, from the Pit 3 stage, he's sitting on a throne made of stone, and he's holding the stick with the red jewel in his left hand, and pointing with his right finger.

Totally agree, I have XM Thanos and the 3rd party pedestal. The skulls on the XM Thanos base are very plain but the 3rd party skulls are incredible looking. They are detailed and aged/weathered.

Really makes a difference...

Are you talking about this? They seem to think that is fake.

It is a fake or should I say its unofficial, fan made back in 2010. Thats all he does, play around with MK sprites and make random wallpapers. Heres the guys devianart profile :
