McFarlane Toys Working on Mortal Kombat Klassics Line

McFarlane Toys, makers of collectible figures, have announced their latest collaboration: a deal with Warner Bros to produce a new line of Mortal Kombat figures, based on their original 1993 appearances (you know, back when they were digitized real people in costumes). The line will be called, appropriately, Mortal Kombat Klassics.

Mortal Kombat Klassics will consist of detailed 7-inch Mortal Kombatants, fully articulated and with the option of additional accessories in both solo and multipacks. Prorotype renders of the figures were shown off during a press event last week (an event no one apparently took photos of). Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Liu Kang, Kitana and Mileena were mentioned as part of the initial line, with more on the way.

“As longtime partners with the talented team behind the Mortal Kombat games, we’re thrilled to once again bring fans a new wave of exciting figures inspired by this legendary video game franchise,” says Todd McFarlane, Founder and CEO of McFarlane Toys. “What’s especially exciting this time around is the opportunity to revisit some of the all-time classic characters – something Mortal Kombat fans have been asking us to do for years. We’re finally diving even deeper into the rich history of this brand, and we can’t wait to deliver what fans have been craving.”

Plans are to roll out the Mortal Kombat Klassics line sometime this summer. Stay tuned for a new Mortal Monday.
