Which 2 MK Statues Will Be Shown At NYCC?

[jinkazama]

Hi, folks.As Jerry recently announced that 2 new MK statues will be shown at NYCC this year, I just wanted to ask, who do you think they will be?Personally, I think one will be Scorpion 1/3 from MK Deception/Armageddon in his alternate costume, and the other might be Shao Kahn 1/3 from MK2[either in his victory pose, or sitting on his throne.Who do you think it might be?

I would say 1:4 Klassic Liu Kang and the 1:3 MK2 statue perhaps Scorpion.

Week, seen a teaser of Liu Kang already. I think the second could be Raiden! Both 1/4 scale.

Had to pop in to see what Jinkazama was up to with this thread.

I'm going to have to go with Jinkazama's guess on this because he's the MK guy.

1/3 statue for mk already? Damn, I hope that doesn't happen for a few years, we need to get started on SF first!

[Hanzo]

if theres a mk 1/3 it will be scorpion, maybe his mk1 or mkx costume, i think mkx . The other statue will probably be 1/4 ermac.

1:3 Scorpion, 1:4 Liu Kang and 1:4 Raiden are in the works. Which two are furthest along to be shown?

Scorpion and Liu. Raiden will be MKX and he won't be shown until closer to game release.

No way is there anything in production from MK4-8, Jin. No way.

How can you be so sure?

I think Jerry said there will be 2 MK statues.

I'm just stating an educated guess, so I obviously don't know. My reasoning:

MK1-3 = popular
MK4-8 = not popular
MK9 = popular, best selling, and arguably best character design - and yet it has been DROPPED in favor of...
MKX = upcoming series entry.

That's four categories. I can make a case for three of those being actively pursued for statues. The fourth (MK4-8)...not so much. I'd find it hard to believe that if PCS is in fact making a 1:3 Scorpion - to represent the NetherRealm logo - that they would base the costume on the least desirable entries in the series. Plus, I believe NetherRealm themselves have requested PCS move on from MK9 to MKX. Why would they then say ok to something from MK4-8?

I was listing some of what PCS is known to be working on, Oni. I then picked Scorpion and Liu as the two I think will be shown at NYCC.
