Premium 18in Sonya Blade Syco Collectibles Statue Preview

Kiss off! Sonya Blade Survives Invasion in Syco Collectibles 18in Premium Statue!

Posted at 08/15/2012 12:16 AM EDT by

Second time's a charm for the first lady of fights, Lt. Sonya Blade arriving for duty in casual attire when the Syco Collectibles 18" Premium statue ships at the end of the year (December).

Limited to approximately 250 pieces, the Premium statue is modelled on alternate costumes from the most recent game. The 18" Sonya comes with a limited extras, The Big Bad Toy Store offering exclusive removeable gun [see more], on top of standard offerings of removeable sunglasses, fabric clothing, and resin Kiss of Death compound.

Close inspection of the disrupted city street underfoot also reveals the added detail of Sonya's victim -- the evident cybernetic remains of her Black Dragon arch-nemesis, Kano. The scene-setting base also has two fire hydrants at close proximity, which could be considered a bonus in fire prone areas, to be sure.

The first 100 pre-orders will also receive full scale, metallic Outer World Investigation Agency dog tags [below].

Identification information impressed upon the dogtags is guaranteed authentic OIA issue, provided by NetherRealm Studios to reflect official in-game record. Additional: In a Facebook update, Syco revealed only twenty-five dog tags remain.

As noted, this is the second Sonya Blade statue from the company. A standard 10" version features Sonya's default design from the latest game, with interchangeable arms and dynamic kick pose [full preview]. Syco Collectibles have also recently released new images of their limited Shadow Clone Noob Saibot variant statue, as featured on Mortal Kombat Online [full story].

Looks great, but why would there be two fire hydrants next to each other? lol

I like how, just like in the game, her dogtags list an organization that does not exist in the new timeline, because in the game the texture for those tags were copypasted from MKvsDCU.

The statuette itself is pretty nice lookin' though, I guess. Neat that the sunglasses are removable.

Because the Lara Croft inspired cover this was taken from had two pots where the hydrants are.

I clearly know we aren't talking about breasts, yet...

.... note that her top is fabric.

Note that someone somewhere will buy this just to remove her top and say that they saw Sonya topless. The question is... did Syco go there :P

It's pretty much this Lara Croft comic book cover:

I don't like it; it's entirely too much sex appeal for Sonya Blade.

And whatever it is she's crouching on looks quite disturbing.

I wish NRS would stop showing her breasts. She ain't that kind of gal.

Historically speaking, she sorta is that kind of gal...

Granted when it came to her MK9 primary, I thought the tit-vest looked ridiculous just like everybody else did. Nobody would ever wear that thing with no undershirt.

The alt never bothered me though (at least not in those terms) because I get the whole "Sarah Connor" thing they were going for. My problem with it was it's just too damn plain and boring lookin', I would've rather seen something with a jacket like in DA or Shaolin Monks, or maybe her DA alt dress uniform, personally.

On the contrary, her breasts are usually covered.

And the images you posted show very little cleavage.

Again, Sonya ain't that kind of gal.

It looks shitty. It doesn't give the character any justice.

For you NRS and those statues makers, learn from MKSM Sonya model.

Does a little bit of cleavage really unravel you guys that much? I mean for christ's sake they had a playmate portray her at one point. I'm sure nobody minded that, but yet when we see half of her tits exposed it's some sort of tragedy.

I disagree. The comic version shows off roughly just as much as the tanktop in the statue does. Granted, bigger tits = deeper cleavage, but the size increase started with Kerri Hoskins, not 3D.

She usually doesn't show off her cleavage, that's true. But once is enough to disprove a "wouldn't".
And it's actually twice counting MKvsDCU, which people didn't complain about so much, possibly because they were too busy hating the jaw...

Oh yes, the great Kerri Hoskins.

No other image of Sonya should be reflected throughout the series.

Anyhoo, I say Sonya isn't that kind of girl not only because of her usual attire, but because of her personality and position in the military. She seems far to self-respected - and self-righteous - to wear revealing clothing, especially while on the job.

Except she HAS! Since her first appearance ever! That's kinda my whole point.
Besides, since when does "revealing" just mean cleavage? She's got a bare midriff in every single game and wears a thong Lita-style in at least two of them (three if you count tan-lines).
I'm not saying it's in her personality to look outwardly a slut like Mileena, but wearing revealing tanktops and casual athletic wear on the job is a very consistent part of Sonya's character. She ain't modest and she's not very professional when it comes to dress.

Isn't that just shit Shang Tsung gave her to compete in? Sonya definitely has an oddly casual military look I don't like how Sonya is "acting" in the statue. She's sexy but not in that hey look at me way that people seem to be attaching to her recently.

That thong has always bothered me as well.

The sports bra-type attire is not one to be viewed as revealing, particularly in her case. And in her case, it seems it is more for reducing her clothes weight than anything.

Anyhoo, you and I both know that the small amount of cleavage shown in MK1 does not account towards the amount shown today, and these heavily sexualized images of Sonya is not who she is.

Hell, I'm still pissed about Ashrah's alternate costume in Deception, but that's for another thread.

What? Of course not.

In the comic she's wearing it, and her whole SF team is also wearing matching olive green spandex (albeit with no bare stomachs 'cause they're all dudes), as they're chasing Kano before he even gets on Shang's boat. It even has a USSF logo on the breast!

Riyakou Wrote:

I already told you I disagree. The neckline in the MK1 comic is just as deep as than the one in her vsDCU costume and MK9 alt.

In the game itself, sure, but that's probably 'cause Malecki doesn't have the rack for a plunging neckline.
You wanna complain about the primary's vest, fine, I would agree then. But the alt is not inconsistent for her.
