New Killer Instinct Figures Are Basically Huge Amiibo

What are your thoughts on collectible figures? How about collectible figures that come bundled with exclusive content? If you’ve booked your ticket for the hype train that is Nintendo’s Amiibo line, you’ll be familiar with this business model, and it’s set to extend into the world of Killer Instinct.

Ultimate Source recently announced a brand new series of Killer Instinct figures, the first of which is a detailed model of the game’s latest addition, Shadow Jago. Limited to 5,000 units, this collectible includes an exclusive code that unlocks the spooky fighter’s tenth color palette (highlighted in the gallery below).

Shadow Jago stands 6″ tall and retails for $34.99. He will be followed by similar figures for Jago, Sabrewulf, Hisako, and Fulgore, as well as light-up models of Jago and Spinal, in March.

Pre-orders are now open and expected to ship the week of December 28. More details can be found here.

ESL Mortal Kombat X Pro League Season 2, Week 6 Streaming Live

Editor’s note: Due to various circumstances, North America is currently one week behind Europe, while the Commonwealth of Independent States are one week ahead.

ESL’s Mortal Kombat X competition returns for another installment of its second season. Similar to the previous season, the first few rounds of this online tournament have narrowed the playing field down to eight competitors in each region, who will be going at each other’s throats today to earn their way towards the grand finals event next year and its $100,000 prize pool.

Some of the more notable players you’ll see participate this week include cR|Sonic Fox, KiT|ForeverKing, RZR|Perfect Legend, A F0xy Grampa, Xarakamaka, Harry NightMare, and FLET, among others.

The stream is live below, but you can also visit Twitch if you prefer to chat with fellow viewers. You’ll also find a table of start times for each of the three regions involved further down.
