THE RED CYCLONE IS FINALLY HERE! I never thought the day would come when I managed to get figures of every main character from one of my favorite video games. This Zangief is pretty cool, and even though he's a character I don't really use, he's still a great character to the SF series. I now got every USF2 character from Jada, minus Shin Akuma. So until they make him instead of P2 Akuma, I should be good. Well that and me getting the lose screen heads as well.

After ordering this big bastard from Gamestop last week, it came that Saturday on the 22nd and I'm so damn happy. Now I never really played T. Hawk that much, but I think he's a cool character in the Street Fighter series. I'm just glad I nearly got all the SSF2/USF2 characters from Jada. Now all the New Challengers are apart of my collection. I just need Zangief, Shin Akuma, and the "YOU LOSE" head accessories for the characters.

I was bored as hell, so I decided to collect all the action figures I missed while playing GTA Online. I collected 34 in the past so after retracing steps for an hour, I finally got the Impotent Rage outfit and the 50k cash for my character. After removing the outfit and trying on the hair, I had an idea to make myself a greaser outfit for my character and see the results. The outfit is based on one of the Bully greaser's original alpha designs. That being Peanut Romano, I think it turned out pretty good.

After DAYS of searching through the Targets in my state, I finally got this guy for my collection. I honestly never expected for Neca to actually make this figure yet, but it's better than the Jason Universe Ultimate figure. I really like how it looks, the detail and chains look pretty cool, and the hellish pitchfork looks awesome. I hope I can get my hands on the Part 8 and Part 9 Jason Neca figures soon.

As for the Jason Universe figure...let me know if you think it's worth it lol

Another figure I managed to get from the MK2 McFarlane line. Despite Ermac not being in MK2 officially, I really like this figure. I do wish we got Smoke since Noob Saibot and Jade were released before Johnny and Ermac (And realistically it would've made more sense), but as a ninja fan, I'll take this. Again Storm Collectibles did him better, but having this telekinetic villain in my collection is pretty awesome.

​

[Now for those who might be confused by this, yes Ermac wasn't in the early MK games until UMK3 but there is context to probably explain why this figure got made. Way back in the 90s, It was said that by overplaying the Sega version of Mortal Kombat with Scorpion, the screen would eventually flaw and flash an alert message on the screen. The message read "ERror MACro" and it would turn Scorpion's yellow outfit red. This was proven to be completely false. It was even shown in early video game magazines. In Mortal Kombat II, some of the hidden fighters gave out hints on how to fight them. Two of the hidden characters (That being Jade and Smoke) had a specific hint mentioning the Ermac rumor, that hint being "Ermac Who?". And eventually, Ermac would be an official character in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, becoming playable from a specific unlock code in the game.]

I finally got my hands on the other MK2 figures that came out recently. I'm really glad to have Klassic Johnny Cage for my collection. Storm can definitely do better, but for me this isn't so bad. The only thing I don't get is that if the MK2 Liu Kang figure can have Ho-Sung Pak's face, why couldn't MK2 Johnny have Daniel Pesina's face for the figure? My guess is most likely a copyright issue or something else. But anyway, I'm glad to have most of the roster from these figures. I just hope Mileena can be sold separately since I missed my chance on getting the two pack with her and frozen Sub-Zero.

I recently got more MK 2 figures for my birthday coming up this month. My dad got me Noob Saibot, while my sister got me Jade. **(**That will be posted later on) I'm really happy to have this ghostly cheap bastard for my collection. I know how people feel about these figures, and I do think the Storm MK figures are WAY DAMN better in comparison. But I have a soft spot for these figures, and I'm hoping (Like with the Jada USF2 figures), I'm able to get the whole roaster for fun.

My uncle hooked me up with an early birthday gift! The USF2 Balrog figure from Jada Toys. This is a cool figure and now that I got him, all four kings are finally part of my collection. I just need E. Honda, Zangief, T. Hawk, and Shin Akuma and the set will be complete. Along with those palette swapped figure.
