Collectors can now own the immortal thunder god of the Mortal Kombat franchise!  Protector of Earthrealm and ally of the Elder Gods, Raiden appears in his lighting fury form ready to defeat Shao Khan and his minions in this limited edition action figure. This version of Raiden also glows in the dark, demonstrating Raiden’s mastery of electricity!  

Now, kids, collectors and gamers can own a “Flocked” version of the world’s fastest blue-haired mammal! SEGA’s supersonic mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog, has been re-released to commemorate the 20^th Anniversary edition of the character. The fully articulated 10-inch toy is the first-ever flocked deluxe action figure, featuring precise fiber particles that provide a polished plush feel to Sonic’s fur. 

To celebrate the 10^th anniversary of one of the most popular video game franchises, Microsoft’s Halo, McFarlane Toys has released a commemorative edition of the game’s iconic SPARTAN-II super soldier protagonist!  Now fans can own the platinum-painted version of John-117, who comes Covenant combat-ready, equipped with his MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI armor and classic assault rifle.  This anniversary edition of Master Chief features full articulation and is the same height as Halo: Reach figures. Collectors will also be able to get their copy of Master Chief specially signed by its creator, Todd McFarlane, on Thursday, July 21 from 4 to 5:30pm!

Hot on the heels of the 4-inch figure unveiling, Jazwares has sent us some information regarding their upcoming Mortal Kombat action figures!

From Jazwares:

Hey guys,
I wanted to clarify some of the comments I have been hearing from around the web.

1. The mask on the 4in Ninjas is accurate according to Warner Brother's reference.
This is how WB and the game creators thought it should look.

2. The 4in and 6in figures are super articulated.
We just tried to hide as much of the articulation as possible, looks like we did a good job.
The 6in have a little more articulation than the 4in.

4in figures articulation:
• Ball joint head
• Ball joint shoulders
• Ball joint elbows
• Swivel hands
• Ball joint waist (ab crunch)
• Ball joint hips
• Ball joint knees
• Ball joint feet

6in figures articulation:
• Ball joint head
• Ball joint shoulders
• Ball joint elbows
• Ball joint hands
• Ball joint waist (ab crunch)
• Ball joint hips
• Swivel thigh
• Ball joint knees
• Ball joint feet

Special thanks to Jazwares for sending along this extra information!
