I’ve been excited about this wave (MU 2011 Wave 2 or as others call it, Wave 13) ever since I saw the preview pics from Hasbro, mostly because this wave introduces the new fully articulated Cyclops body (I’ll have pics of him in the 2nd installment!) and an equally nicely articulated Cable.

Jazwares Mortal Kombat Press Pics

Our friends at Jazwares have sent us some shots of their upcoming 6-inch figures from the Mortal Kombat 9 video game released a month ago today. Look for these on shelves this summer.

We have a ton of figures planned, this is just the beginning…

Included are:

  • #13211 Sub-Zero
  • #13212 Raiden
  • #13213 Johnny Cage
  • #13216 Scorpion

The figures will be available this summer and we will have a Toys-R-Us Comic Con exclusive! I am waiting for permission to release more information.

We are also asking the fans on our Facebook page to tell us their favorite MK characters so we make sure we make them. I’ve heard some rumors and read the blogs… I can tell you that we are currently sculpting Sonya Blade!

Look no further, guys! Wave 1 of the Cap 3.75-inch line is on sale right now at HasbroToyShop.com. You can find them all on the HasbroToyShop.com Captain America page.

I picked up the updated Winter Soldier plus a basic Cap – I’d like to compare them to the earlier versions from the Marvel Universe line.
