Select a Mortal Kombat Toy
Be aware that Mortal Kombat toys are mainly action figures.
Consider the age of the person you are purchasing a Mortal Kombat toy for. If it is an adult, select collectable Mortal Kombat figures. These usually come in booster packs. Leaving the pack unopened enhances the future value of these toys.
Pay attention to the manufacturer's recommended age for toys but, ultimately, use your own judgment when making a selection for your child. Some action figures may be labeled as appropriate for children ages three and up, yet Mortal Kombat toys often have gory appearances or come with small accessories that are not safe for three-year-olds.
Visit a fan website, like Mortal Kombat Online (see Resources below). Here you can learn all you ever wanted to know about Mortal Kombat, and you may also get scoops on the popular Mortal Kombat toys. This will help you select a toy for a collector.
Use the research you do to select older, vintage or collectible Mortal Kombat toys at an auctions website like eBay (see Resources below).
Select a Mortal Kombat video game for older children who like action-oriented video games.
Select new Mortal Kombat action figures according to character (i.e., choose the recipient's favorite figure) and price. Use an online shopping engine like BizRate to get price comparisons from several online outlets (see Resources below).
