Mortal Kombat Goro 1/12 Scale Action Figure
This 1/12 scale action figure of Goro stands at approximately 11” tall but packs a huge punch. The detail on this figure is quite impressive, with his muscles taking center stage. Each ripple and curve is expertly sculpted, making this Goro figure look just as intimidating as the original. The facial expressions are also crafted very well, with two different heads being available for posing. The first is a more neutral expression, while the second shows an angry face ready for battle. This figure also comes with several different hand pieces and some green fireballs for fans to enjoy.

Mortal Kombat Shao Kahn Storm Collectibles 1/12 Scale Figure
This 1/12 scale figure of Shao Kahn shows his imposing figure sculpted perfectly. Every possible pose of this piece exudes power. Fans can pose him with his hammer at the ready or with his seat upon his throne. This brutal warlord certainly did not come to play, and the blood detail on his hammer makes this evident. This figure was excellently crafted, with all of its detail perfectly visible. Shao Kahn’s muscles are as big as the original, and his outfit is also true to form.

Mortal Kombat Series Story
The story of Mortal Kombat takes place in a fictional universe that contains eighteen different realms. According to some of the backstories of the characters in the game, the realms were created by the Elder Gods. The playable characters of the series all live within the different realms in the series, and all of them seek power. In order for someone of one realm to be able to conquer the other, they would have to defeat the greatest warriors of that realm. The Elder Gods decreed that they must fight in ten consecutive Mortal Kombat tournaments in order to achieve this. In the first game, seven different warriors are participating in the tournament. The prize for this tournament is the continued freedom of their realms, which are under threat of takeover by the Outworld.
Mortal Kombat Series Development
The first Mortal Kombat game was created by Midway Games and released in 1992. Since then, it has inspired several different sequels and spin-offs, as well as other different forms of media with the same name. This American media franchise mostly revolves around one-on-one fighting matches between players or between players and AI. The series has quite a reputation as being very violent. Because of this, it is partially responsible for the creation of the ESRB video game rating system that is still used to this day. After a time, Midway Games, unfortunately, went bankrupt and was acquired by Warner Bros. Entertainment. It was then turned into Nether Realm studios, which continued to create more Mortal Kombat games. The most recent installment of this franchise is Mortal Kombat 11, which was released in 2019.
