Merchandise and Promotion
A Reptile action figure was released by Hasbro as part of a G.I. Joe line of toys, packaged with the series-themed vehicle for the toyline. The figure comes with a katana and grappling hook. Another action figure to promote Shaolin Monks was released in 2006 by Jazwares. Fully posable, it includes an alternate head, attachable tongue and a large-bladed scimitar. Reptile is also featured prominently in the introduction sequence of Mortal Kombat 4, portions of which were used in a television commercial to promote the game. In 2010, Reptile was one of several characters featured in a short video title Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, intended to promote a "reimagined MK film" concept to Warner Bros. Set in a more realistic setting and played by Richard Dorton, the character is depicted as a thirty-year-old mass murderer born with harlequin type ichthyosis who devours the heads of his victims.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
