American style barbecue is on the menu starting August 6th when the Summer Heat pack unleashes Fireworks Erron Black, Endless Summer Kitana, and Off the Bone Baraka! They follow the gold jacket wearing Thanks a Million Johnny Cage, and previously released Eternal Klash Skin Pack released at launch.

The funcooker will keep sizzling on August 25th when the Klassic Femme Fatale Skin Pack is released, followed by the mysterious & spooky All Hallow's Eve Skin Pack that arrives in plenty of time for Halloween on October 8th!

Last year the Masquerade Skin Pack outfitted Liu Kang, Kitana, and Kabal in creepy costumes. Who do you think will feature on All Hallow's Eve? Share your thoughts and speculation about the upcoming skins in the comments below and check out more on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!

Storm Collectibles may not be able to exhibit their wares at San Diego Comic-Con this year, but that hasn't stopped them turning arcade klassics into physical reality. Motaro breaks the mold with an authentic equine body and oversized proportions! Take a look:

Standing an impressive 9.4" tall; the 1/12th scale Motaro towers over other action figures with his original centaur body fully in tact in all its poseable four-legged glory! Multiple points of articulation allow for the recreation of his victory pose, back leg kick, or looming upright charge pose!

Motaro is available now for online pre-order with a premium price tag of $110.00US. That includes 2 interchangeable heads, 3 pairs of hands, and a bloodied skeleton for a display shelf fatality!

Its another Mortal Kombat 3 offering from the popular Hong Kong toymaker, who recently unveiled MK3 Sub-Zero designs, and have previously released the Lin Kuei cyber-assassins and MK3 final boss Shao Kahn.

It's not often we see Motaro in merchandise. The centaur was last seen as a non-playable story mode character killed in Mortal Kombat (2011), with a compromised two-legged centaur version making his last playable appearance in 2006's Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Johnny Cage fought one of his people in the animated Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.

Around this time of year Storm Collectibles is usually on the floor of the San Diego International Comic-Con, but with pandemic concerns shuttering the massive crowds for now, the toymaker has taken to social media to reveal their next big action figure offering. Sub-Zero is on the run with a klassic design pending approval in new images. Take a closer look:

Wearing a mask may curb the communal spread of coronavirus in 2020, but the retro Mortal Kombat 3 style Sub-Zero is noteable for its uniquely unmasked design.

Originally portrayed in the 1995 arcade sequel by chiseled John Turk; this design finds Sub-Zero marked for death and on the run from his former comrades in the Lin Kuei clan. In MK3 he not only had the Outworld invasion to contend with, but also the pursuit of cyber assassins Sektor and Cyrax, who've already been released as Storm Collectibles figures.

MK3 is becoming a regular source of inspiration for the Hong Kong based action figure company, who previously released an exhaustive series of klassic ninja palette swaps. Other offerings have included UMK3 Scorpion and MKII Baraka.

The man we today know as Kuai Liang sports the famous eye scar earned in battle, and if other Storm releases are any indication, will probably be able to exhibit a variety of his trademark kori ice attacks. MK3 notably expanded his arsenal with the skyward ice shower attack.

The aggressive spread of coronavirus has forced businesses around the world to rethink their practises in 2020. For the full contact combat sport of Ultimate Fighting Championship, this adversity has led them to find solutions once only dreamed of in fiction. Mortal Kombat 11 features in the promotional build to UFC 251 on Fight Island! Take a look:

UFC promoter Dana White first revealed the concept of Fight Island at the beginning of April, intending to work around regional health restrictions preventing personnel gatherings. The concept of a private island hosting martial arts contests naturally drew comparisons with Mortal Kombat, and the tournament on Shang Tsung's Island. This klassic plot was recently retold in the animated feature Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.

The lines between professional combat reality and fiction already blurred when Mortal Kombat 11 welcomed former UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey as the new voice and inspiration behind Sonya Blade. The UFC Hall of Famer also took inspiration from her character for a live performance at last year's WWE Elimination Chamber.

Shang Tsung and scenes from Mortal Kombat 11 literally appeared in the promotion for this weekend's UFC 251 event, which takes place at the Flash Forum on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal headline in a UFC Welterweight Championship bout. The event was originally scheduled to take place in Perth, Australia.

Fan-favourite Australian digital artist BossLogic lampooned Dana White's initial announcement in April, blending the promoter with Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa's live-action sorcerer. He more recently created an MK tinged poster for the event.
