I bought this costume for my sister as the compliment to my Kitana costume, and like many reviews I had read before this costume had the same similarities in issues, many of which can be fixed with a needle and a bit of thread. The gloves have super tiny holes for fingers, so unless you have the hands of a child or your fingers and very slim, these will require some adjustment. The boot-tops have a habit of falling/rolling down, which is easily cured with a discreet garter belt. The mask is awkward, built like a medical mask, but considering my sister and I also designed a functional Tarkatan face to compliment the costume (my sister and I are nothing if not sticklers for costume authenticity) the medical mask design won't be that big of an issue. The shorts are modest, and the stretch of the fabric makes it easier to move. The designs/gold trim of the costume does flake and peel, but a little nail glue kept on hand to repair problems makes a quick fix. The belts that trail down from the top connecting to the shorts were too short (and she is only 5'7", so not very tall), making it impossible for her to try it on without cutting them off, which we will lengthen with a bit of black elastic we purchased.
Other than these small problems the costume is exceptional and true to game design while still being slightly modest. (Not all of us can run around in public wearing a thong like she does now, can we?) I would not recommend buying this costume at the full purchase price of $50-$60, however if you can find it for $40 or less like I did, it's worth it. So if you are a true Mortal Kombat collector and don't mind a little extra work to make the costume an exceptional piece, then I say go for it. Otherwise, skip this one.
