where did you hear that? link please. they just announced the game this morning, didnt hear anything about mcfarlane having the license for this though

It's just me speculating, I have no idea if McFarlane will have the license for the game, it's wishful thinking, and since he had the license for the previous game, it would make sense to pick this one up, but like I said nothing is confirmed it's just something I hope for, and it seems reasonable since McFarlane has pretty much stopped producing figs for MK11, so naturally you'd think it was because they were moving on to this new game.

The game doesn't come out until September of this year. The earliest I would bet that we see any figures would maybe be September of next year. We finally got figures from MK XI last year and that was based on MK X and MK XI which was released in 2015.

My take away from this is, I hope McFarlane does some more Mortal Kombat figures now because of this, so many characters we still need, this game should be the reason why we have yet to see anymore figures from the MK11 series, because they will be producing figures going forward from this game.

I'm on the same wavelength asLord_Scareglow - I immediately thought of how much I'd like to see more McFarlane figures from this.
