![]() The concept, design, funding, and delivery of these figures was fully fleshed out before the Kickstarter even went live. My paranoia was assuaged though by the professional and thorough framework presented by creators Julie Kerwin and Dawn Nadeau. I have friends who have backed Kickstarter campaigns in the past and have been disappointed by the final product (or lack thereof). What a great way to bring 2014 to a close! I was really anxious to get my hands on this I Am Elemental series since it was my first foray into the world of Kickstarter and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was taking a gamble. I Am Elemental - Series 01: Elements of Courage - Rebel Elements 2014 I'll let all the pictures speak for themselves. I probably wouldn't have even noticed if not for me actively seeking something about this figure to critique. All of these changes and surprises are perfectly acceptable to me though. ![]() Some surprises for me included (1) her mermaid tail is glittery, (2) her main tail fin is blue instead of green, (3) her human legs are bare instead of blue, and (4) her hair is made out of a new lightweight flexible rubber. But luckily all that stuff has been ironed out. Any of the minor flaws we've seen from MOTUC figures in the past would have been a major disappointment on a long-awaited character like Mermista. I am glad we had to wait so long though because I think the stars had to be aligned to provide us such a perfect figure. Mermista has been my most wanted Princess of Power figure ever since Adora first arrived 5 years ago and showed us that the POP ladies would definitely be included in this line. ![]() ![]() Would be a good excuse to give us better versions of Scorpion and Sub-Zero.MOTUC Club Eternia - Mermista - Mattycollector Exclusive - Mattel 2014 Hopefully the reveal of the new Lui Kang indicates a willingness to do more than simple repaints. While all the figures so far have more or less been repaints (the gamestop Scorpion has a different mask) they've now shown two actual variants of Lui Kang (one with and one without a vest). ![]() Like you said a few changes and it can become the Underdone skin or any of the ten using the same clothing. They've got ten possible skins for Kabal using this sculpt. Looking at it they could also totally re-use everything but the torso and upper arms on this Kabal figure to make his Underdone skin, which I would absolutely get.I was being sarcastic but at the same time there's no doubt McFarlane will milk the sculpts. It's not a skin in the game but they could opt to repaint this revenant figure with his "normal" burned flesh tone. I like the revenant designs for what they are, I just don't want toys of them. Unless you're being sarcastic and I misread, I don't want them to actually do Kitana and Liu Kang as revenants I was just putting them up as examples that they aren't locked to using the character's default skins for the toys. ![]()
