This is great stuff! The white blue and gold deco also offers a nice contrast to the somewhat darker and grittier costumes of Sub-Zero and Scorpion. Hell, every single buckle on the straps that hold on his leg armor is stylized, sculpted, and carefully painted. Even the detail on the scalloped knee guards and the rope belt is impressive. You get similar decos on the arm bracers and grieves. The sculpted scroll-work in Raiden’s tabard, for example, is superbly executed and follows up with some gorgeous gold paintwork. It’s even possible that, because of the brighter and more ornate nature of his design, this figure shows the work Mezco is putting into these even better. Scorpion and Sub-Zero both featured impressive paintwork and sculpts and I’m happy to say that Raiden is right up there with them. In the end, it’s just something for me to rip open to get at my figure, so it works just fine by me. It’s kind of distinctive and it mimics a little bit of what Jazwares tried to do with the presentation of their MK figures, what with the stylized bubble and die-cut card. We just saw this packaging last week, so I won’t dwell on it much. Rather then try to hunt him in the stores, I worked up a little Amazon Prime magic and had him delivered to my doorstep. Last week I was delighted to pick up two of Mezco’s new MK X figures, Scorpion and Sub-Zero, and I vowed that the third figure in the wave wouldn’t be far behind.
