my hey guys miho supersorrell thank you very much
it's baracka this is baracka from mortal kombat from the new mcfarland model combat line
i am so happy to finally have baraka in my collection i'm slowly collecting all the mortal
kombat characters as a massive fan of the mortal kombat games growing up and when this in line got
announced i did get a little bit excited but i wanted to see how into the line they got because
sometimes mcfarland it feels like like with the harry potter ones they seem to create one wave
and then they're never seen again same with game of thrones so mcfarland seemed for a little while
like they were adding lines and then getting rid of them just as quick so i wanted to see
how long they stuck around before just getting rid so now we've got a fair few characters in
the line i've decided to invest and as you saw earlier i have reviewed uh katana earlier today
and now we've got baraka so i'm catching up johnny cage i can't find he costs so much money online uh
so i'm probably gonna skip druggie cage for now and hope to bring out a variant later on not too
bothered for johnny cage i'm personally honest anyway um i've got katara i'm happy about that
and obviously we've got lu kang and some other ones that are on order they'll be in a haul coming
up in the few in the coming in the coming days and we've got a bunch more on pre-order so can't wait
to see what else they produce i hope that producer molina molina was always my favorite character but
whilst we're talking about it we have baraka so this figure like i said is by mcfarland's
toys he does come with some decent little accessories including a brain that you can attach
to his claws however you can just pull that off i've pushed it all the way down and he
has got like a fair decent sized hole running through it sorry camera's down there so you can
you can't add that to it very easily it's painted both sides very well detailed
and you can display baraka with his blades out like this or if you just pull backwards gently
they do pop out and they just have a little nub like so so you could display him without
however it does leave a hole in the forearm this is good to know for storage especially if you
store your fingers like me if you let you left them attached when you stored them in a big box
more than likely would break but i'll probably have my barakah displayed with the claws out
so the click articulation i really like and i'll show you that in a second
because the head is on a ball joint so you can make it look down left and right right
the arms do click into place if you listen which is nice and there is a butterfly hinge there i'm
loving these pieces that they're making so you can't see the hinges as well very nice
all these arms do lift up you have a full rotation there there's the bicep rotation
uh very nice of double hinged elbows and hands are on ball joints as well
there's the diaphragm hinge there to crunch him around on as well as a further way swivel
these legs do lift out all the way which is nice to get some good articulation there as well as
forward as much as this piece here will allow and backwards as much as this piece here will allow
there is also double hinged knees attached to this one as well you can rotate it in
the thigh a little bit not too much no boot cut but the feet are on the hinges
and you even have a little toe articulation which is actually good on martial arts figures i've
noticed because when i'm trying to balance them that toe thing if you just pop it down a little
bit can keep it from falling over and they also come with the mortal kombat bases all mcfarland's
figures come with you know bases that belong to the figures and i actually use these ones
i'm not a big lover of bases because normally i like to see if i can use my own sort of balancing
um you know when i'm posing them but with mortal kombat you actually want to put them in some
really cool fight poses and some really cool stances and sometimes to get the leg up high
enough and things and you want to crunch the body and do some cool stuff with it like this
to get into a good pose for the kick and you still want that leg to be high enough
then you really do need these boards and if you just twist them sideways a little bit you can
usually get them to stand pretty well so i really do love these figures they really do look good
but let's take a close look at the figure guys over on the desk and where you guys will be
able to get an up close personal look at barakah we'll also bring back uh kitana to put with him
and you can see her neck next to him as well he'll be pretty nice and i'll keep doing that every time
we do these new figures i'll make sure i bring back some older characters so you can see how they
all scale together but yes so without further ado guys let's head on down to the desk cam
so guys here he is out of the packaging looking awesome i've got him in a bit of
a pose here a lot i kind of like that it's kind of kicking pose there looks pretty cool
i've got his hands up and stuff um there's a little brain by the way that's a really cool
item very nice to include but yes the figure is immaculate done looks very nice i'm loving
the paint work on it the paint work around the mouth as well me that flesh tone is very good
liking all the veins and muscles how they pop on the figure and even downs like the this actually
looks like leather and metal this time then cloth it actually looks like what it's meant to be which
is very good so they have done a great job and all the all these different layers and things
like that it does look very nice and for a for a basic 20 quid figure this is not bad you know
don't forget these aren't much more than what you pay for marvel legends and star wars sometimes
when these are found at retail they're usually about 20 to 22.99 which isn't bad for what you
get really in this very detailed figure the faces are very nicely done as well very well painted
methods figures are usually pretty good though they are made for adult collectors to display
they aren't really made for kids to play with but these are really sturdy so i mean even if you did
buy this for a kid who's into mortal kombat they wouldn't break these and then they're very well
put together and very durable it feels uh but just to give you an idea guys but raka is a character
from the mortal kombat fighting game series as we all know and he's a part of the takarton horde
he served as one of the main antagonists throughout the series of the game first
appearing in mortal kombat 2 as the first playable to cartoon character and then a sins occurred in
many of the games but raka returned from model combat 11 as a playable character but also serving
as a supporting character for this story mode he is a loyal serving outworlder and is the loyal to
the empire and being obviously very loyal to the half to carton melina and her father shao khan
and his people i believe from what i remember are kind of with a nomadic
mutant race that were kind of made up of two cartons who populated the vast wastelands
um and there were basically a crossbreed between the nether realm demons and the outworlders um
i'm not sure if that's still canon at this time it's been a long time since i've played
the video game series i'm not up to date with some of the more modern model combat games i
i stopped a long time ago with these games about when the reboot happened
so i haven't really played the story mode for some of these later games
but yes this is a it's definitely based upon the sort of like the nosferatu
as you can see from the ears and the mouth and the nose of the way the way they've done it
it's very much based upon that old style myth of like the vampire and the nosferatu to me
that's definitely where they got influence for this from and again if you look these little
the boards that come with them they are very useful for balancing the figures especially if
you get it just right like i've managed here you can get him in some really cool poses
but guys what are your thoughts on this one let me know in the comments down below but let's head on
back to the main cam guys to give you an ending to this video but yes if you are new around here
please make sure you hit that subscribe button for me it would really support this channel
and don't forget to leave us a comment who's your favorite mortal kombat character
i'd love to know in the comments below here is barack i stood next to kitana from the
other sorry from the other review that we've done like i said i haven't got johnny storm yet
so these are the only two that i've reviewed so far uh so far scale is looking pretty good
yeah baraka is slightly bigger than katana but only it by a little bit if we count her little
hair bunnies then she's probably a little bit taller than him but no that's about writing
scaling they look good together uh monthly barakah is taller than her in the game so
that is good i like that um yeah scaling they're at the seven inches in height so they won't scale
with marvel legends or anything like but they should scale with your dc products from mcfarland
so if you did want to recreate some form of dc versus mortal kombat you really could and as
well obviously you will scale with necker um and with anything that is basically about the seven
inch scale so we are talking mcfarland figures and necker figures mainly here uh they won't
scale with your six inch um star wars marvel anything like that which is a bit of a shame
but it is what it is who would like them to create other ones like i mean i'd still love tekken
and you know what i'd still have some street fighter in this in this kind of line as well i
wish mcfarland would make them so then they'd all be a similar scale as he could pose them opposite
against each other because we all would love that who wouldn't want to see ryu versus liu kang
but guys what are your thoughts of the scaling let us know in the comments below
guys i really do hope you enjoyed this review i enjoyed doing it for you
and i hope you enjoyed the little bit of history there about barakah as well i'm going to keep
doing that with each character just to give you guys uh for those that aren't familiar with every
single character from the series just give a bit of an update of who they all are and stuff
but yes i love this figure it's great addition to the line he looks awesome
but what are your thoughts guys let me know in the comments down below
