Here's a few photos of my figure. They're not great, and I think it looks better in hand, so I wouldn't judge the figure too much based on them. They give a rough impression though. I think the likeness holds up from certain angles to an extent, especially from the profile, but...

I tried to take some photos of mine earlier, but it just doesn't look great in them. And I ordered mine from a third party, so assumed that anyone that ordered directly from threezero would have received there's earlier than I did mine, if anything.

I got this figure in the post a few days ago, before having seen any of the in hand photos in this thread prior. The headsculpt has definitely received a downgrade from the prototypes shown, but it's really not as bad in person as it appears in photos. In trying to pinpoint what's wrong with it...

My latest addition to my Play Arts collection, which was quite thoughtfully bought for me by my housemate for my birthday: The only problem now is I feel like I need to finish the set and get Meryl and Miller, despite REALLY not wanting either.

Man this figure's a death trap, I knew having him front and centre at the edge of my shelf was a bad idea. Just had him come crashing down behind me, bouncing off another set of draws on the way down. My heart nearly dropped looking down at the bits and pieces scattered on the floor, but luckily...

Just got my Solidus through the post, so thought I'd take some more photos.

Just won a PAK Solidus Snake on eBay for just over £70, so I'm pretty happy with that. It's been opened, but hey, if it's going to save me an extra £25 then I can't say I care. Took some photos of some of my other PAK figures the other day too, so thought I'd post them here.

Naw, the guy only had one a piece.

Oh yea, there was just one other thing. Is there any way to get in contact with Square Enix? The Snake I bought has two right feet, which is slightly annoying. It doesn't bother me enough to detract from the figure, but it'd be nice if I could get it sorted.

It's just some place in a market in Birmingham's city centre. They sell a load of random figures, mostly just wrestling, movie and game stuff, but they seem to favour MGS lines. They've got a few of the Medicom Snake's and had a couple of the old McFarlane figures recently, as well as a 12 inch...

Dang, he was pricey. I might have to taker a miss on him, I don't think I can justify paying double the amount of a standard figure for him. I managed to find a Solid Snake and Gray Fox the other day though in a little place I check on occassion, so I guess I lucked out there at least seeing as...

I kind of lost track of the release dates of the Play Arts figures a while back and didn't even realise that the Solidus figure came out last year. Does anyone know if Forbidden Planet stocked him at all in the UK or have I missed out on him?

The official sites prices for their figures had me pretty happy to start with then. Thought I'd best check the postage costs too, which then ruined the entire thing. £12 postage? Bleh.

I always hated in Twin Snakes when Snake backflips onto one of the, I think, Hind's rockets. The game was still pretty decent though, but I was never really a fan of them changing Naomi and Mei Ling's accents either.

Is the Play Arts Jensen figure being released on it's own at all? I ended up buying the Augmented because the case looked so nice, but I did like the look of the figure too, and I'd rather just buy it seperately.
