I attended Botcon 2007 this year and was able to get my hands on all of the exclusives. I decided to do a quick hands on with all ten exclusives. I divided it up into two 10 minute videos because its long, a little boring, and not very in depth. If you’d like me to do a more in-depth look at each of the exclusives with more background information and the full transformations, please let me know by commenting on this post below. Thanks!

Part 1: Dirge, Thrust, Thundercracker, Dreadwind and Bugbite

Part 2: Springer, Huffer, Weirdwolf, Alpha Trion, and Phasing Mirage

For the initial announcements on each figure in the main set go to the following links:

[EDIT – CRAZY: It has been brought to my attention that Don Figueroa did the art for the cover of the box set and not Dan Khanna. Apologies.]

As announced by IGN a few days ago, the good people over at Midway Games have blessed it’s loyal fans with a bit of nostalgia to tide them over until the next-gen Mortal Kombat comes closer to realization. Come November of this year, the Nintendo DS will be getting a ported release of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. A little treat for those familiar with Mortal Kombat Deception will also come bundled in, in the form of Puzzle Kombat (aka: Tetris with blood)

As can be seen, the box art mimics that of the skulls seen on the boxes and arcade machine versions of Ultimate MK 3. The character selection is the same, though some like Ermac and Mileena must be first unlocked in order to play, and Noob Saibot is unplayable. Still, it’s a little slice of heaven for those of us who miss the good ol’ days of 2-D fighting with motion capture animation and explosions of bodies with 10 limbs, 3 ribcages, and about 40 gallons of blood. Good times.
