Two Live Collectibles, Two Different Priorities
The Necrobinder and Scorpion are both Youtooz collectibles, but they come from different franchises and ship under different rules. The Necrobinder belongs to Slay the Spire 2, while Scorpion is part of the Mortal Kombat line. That licensing difference is the first practical split: Scorpion has regional shipping restrictions, while The Necrobinder does not list any in the supplied information.
If you are choosing between them, start with availability and display space. Then compare sculpt and packaging. Price matters, but it should not be the only factor when one figure may not ship to your region at all.
Size and Presence: 4.8 Inches vs 4.6 Inches
- The Necrobinder: The Necrobinder stands at 4.8 inches tall. That is slightly taller than Scorpion, so it may sit a little higher on a shared shelf.
The Necrobinder - Scorpion: Scorpion stands at 4.6 inches tall and is posed stepping forward while launching a grey kunai. The forward step and extended kunai give Scorpion a wider, more action-oriented footprint than a static pose.

Design Details That Set Them Apart
Both figures are sculpted to capture a specific moment from their source games, but the visual language is very different.
- The Necrobinder: Wears a plum skirt and matching pointed epaulettes, with long pink sleeves draping from bony arms. Her bare chest reveals a bony ribcage and spine. She reaches her right hand forward and grips a deadly scythe with the left. Deep blue flames rise from her neck to curl around a jawless skull with hollow black eyes, and her skeletal hand companion, Osty, sweeps around her back with a streak of matching blue fire.
- Scorpion: Wears a yellow, black, and maroon robe that flows from his waist under a thick cord. Brown straps wrap around black pants and pointed boots. Determined eyes stare forward over a yellow and black mask, and long black hair is pulled into a tight bun. He launches a grey kunai with a brown rope curling back to his black glove, while vibrant red remains of his last fight pool around his feet.
Packaging and Protection: Both Ship with a Plastic Protector
Both collectibles ship in a matte, embossed, protective outer sleeve and a custom-sized plastic protector for maximum protection during shipping. The difference is in the artwork and window design.
The Necrobinder’s packaging exterior shows a cobbled room lit by two torches on a stone wall. The interior is covered in the branching paths of the game’s map. The protective sleeve shows the spire reaching through orange clouds, with the figure visible through a large clear window at the front.
Scorpion’s packaging exterior shows the fiery Mortal Kombat logo against burnt parchment with a blue-scaled pattern across the top. The pale interior is filled with line drawings of a curling dragon. The light grey protective sleeve burns away to reveal a green mountaintop against a cloudy blue sky, with the figure visible through a large clear window.
Price and Shipping: One Clear Practical Difference
- The Necrobinder: The Necrobinder is catalog priced at USD 19.19, with a comparison price of USD 29.99. The lower catalog price makes it the more budget-friendly option if both are available to you.
- Scorpion: Scorpion is catalog priced at USD 22.19, with a comparison price of USD 29.99. Due to licensing restrictions, the Warner Bros / Mortal Kombat collection only ships to certain regions. The higher price is only relevant if Scorpion can actually ship to your address; check the regional restriction before deciding.
What the Catalog Does Not Confirm
The supplied records do not list an age range, recommended display distance, or specific care instructions for either figure. If you need that information before buying, check the product page or contact the store. The absence here is not a negative feature; it just means those details are not part of the provided evidence.
Which Live Collectible Should You Buy?
- Choose The Necrobinder if:: You want a slightly taller figure with a dramatic skeletal design, blue flame effects, and a companion character. It is also the lower-priced option in the catalog and does not carry a listed regional shipping restriction.
- Choose Scorpion if:: You are a Mortal Kombat fan, prefer a dynamic action pose with a kunai, and your region is eligible for Warner Bros / Mortal Kombat shipping. The higher price buys a more combat-focused sculpt and franchise-specific packaging.
- Buy both if:: You collect across franchises and have shelf space for two figures of similar height. Just verify Scorpion’s shipping eligibility first, since that is the one hard limitation in the supplied information.
