The Feature Film

Mortal Kombat. Scorpion, Sub-Zero and your game shelf.

The North American 2011 Mortal Kombat Kollector’s Edition included these two bookends, along with a 110+ page art book. The UK edition featured a different fight statue.

Our Collectible Spotlight explores the physical extras that became part of the game’s history. Keeping the game, bookends, art book and original packaging together preserves a fuller record of the 2011 release.

The Photo Essay

5 slides from the feature.

The story behind the images.

The separate wall halves support books or game cases between the two fighters. The feature distinguishes the North American bookends from the UK edition’s different Scorpion-versus-Sub-Zero fight statue.

The game, bookends, art book and original packaging together document the physical edition. Historical downloadable bonuses are not a promise of current code redemption. The photographs are collecting references.
