Omicron Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Raiden is the eternal God of Thunder and former protector of Earthrealm. He is one of the few original characters, debuting in the first Mortal Kombat arcade game, and one of the few to appear in every generation of the series. The fig itself is actually an update of my original Raiden fig. The updates include more detail on the robe, the head and hat. I updated it in honor of the upcoming release of Mortal Kombat 9. * Head is brassoed by me (originally Jango head) and eyes also shopped in by me * Fabric tunic is MMCB * Plastic robe is Sidan Toys Reference (if needed). -Omi Quote
tin7_creations Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 The new hat works wayyy better! Great job! ~tin7_creations Quote
airsoftg36c Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Odd..I don't remember him in ANY of the movies... There wasn't any black guy in the movies... But now the video game, I remember him! Awesome! Quote
PhantomX Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I love the new hat on the minifigure. The lightning piece also adds to the affect. I love the use on the face! Overall very nice Quote
Omicron Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Odd..I don't remember him in ANY of the movies... There wasn't any black guy in the movies... But now the video game, I remember him! Awesome! Raiden was in both movies, portayed albiet in a different outfit (although in the beginning of the first movie, he does wear the iconic hat). He isn't black, he is white. The black is more like a mask/cowl (see ref pic). And no black guys in the movies? Jax was in both! :P -Omi Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 The hat is now perfect! The brassoed Jango Fett head is also well done. But I hope that's just a spare head or you really messed up a rare and expensive minifig? Quote
Omicron Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 you really messed up a rare and expensive minifig? Bingo. :P Customization comes at a cost. -Omi Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Customization comes at a cost. I laud your dedication to customization then. Quote
Duke Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Ha, nice figure. Raiden was the first thing I thought of when I first saw the Sensai Wu hat. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Great Raiden Omi I just so happened to be in the middle of the first Mortal Kombat now Too bad for Jango though, that must have been a hard pill to swallow. Another great custom minifig anyway Noticed in the film Raiden was spelled "Rayden" in the credits and was referred to as the "God of Lightning". Edited April 4, 2011 by Leg Godt Gud Quote
