Ya know, Mattel, or the 4Horsemen could have AT LEAST grabbed the MK license just for the game. Making several two-packs to be released with the game. I grow VERY tired of seeing a new MK game with good designs and NO figures to boost my MK mood. IMO, I think the 4Horsemen missed a GREAT opportunity to give some BAD ASS MK figures with great detail and extensive POA. IT would have been a masterpiece.
Here's hoping NECA does something about it.

Unless the figures are GREAT the line wouldn't last long, MK means nothing to today's kids and adult collectors of action figures have a lot on their plates already so unless they were truly outstanding figures only the die hard MK fans would likely support the line.....I just don't see too many companies would want to take the risk. That being said, you never know DCD might do a DC vs MK wave (or two).
I dont see anyone picking up the line.If someone does I dont see them making every single fighter thats just too much.
Its hard to say if they are going to bring any new figs out especially since there wasnt any mortal kombat related stuff shown at SDCC at all. And the fact that it seems jazzwares has went off the map. Maybe a new company may pick up the license but right now it looks very doomed.
