So, while we wait for more reveals of fighters to be included in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 11, Storm Collectibles are hard at work with another figure for those of you clambering for another one of these beauties. On the company’s Instagram, they’ve revealed a work-in-progress sculpt for everyone’s favourite Hollywood douchebag martial artist actor in Johnny Cage!
Those of you with keen eyes can see that the likeness of this figure is in fact based on the original digitized actor for Johnny Cage, Daniel Pesina, who played Cage in the original Mortal Kombat, and Mortal Kombat 2. In fact, Pesina confirmed on his Facebook page that the figure will indeed be based on his likeness.
Not bad for a guy who left Midway over royalties, and jumped ship to appear in an ad as Johnny Cage for the Incredible Technologies-developed MK clone BloodStorm (which sucked, by the way).
Pesina’s departure also meant that Cage and the ninja characters (Reptile, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, etc.) wouldn’t initially appear in Mortal Kombat 3 until Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and MK Trilogy, where they were played by different actors. Trivia!
Mortal Kombat 11 is due out April 23, 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.
