Looks awesome! This was the version I wish HT had made back in the day.
Hello all, I went with my planned mods. I’m pretty happy, it turned out rather well!Has anyone done any mods to the zii production solid snake at all?
I can’t stand the stiff body and I’m not a huge fan of the the inaccurate suit texture, but I knew that going in. Also the paint just peels off the rubber elbow and knee pads so easily. I really like the headsculpt and some of the gear. It’s a mixed bag of a figure. I’m just happy to have some kind of solid snake on the shelf at this point!
I have a grey jumpsuit and a Phicen M33 body, I may try it and see.
Looks great man! I was looking to do the same thing.Hello all, I went with my planned mods. I’m pretty happy, it turned out rather well!
It was quite easy too. The parts were easy enough to swap over to the Phicen body.

Full list of mods:
Phicen M33 body swap
Different body suit. The Suit can be found here:

There are a multitude of sellers who sell this suit, use your own judgment and go with a seller you are comfortable with if you buy one.
That was pretty much it, the head and hands and feet all fit with no problems, just the usual boiling water to help. The only modification I had to do was to cut away some of the Phicen body flesh at the ankles as the silicone skin was a bit too much for the opening of the boots and it was causing them to pop off. I also had to shorten the thigh holster strap by cutting off some material as it was too baggy for his leg. Easy peasy.
You may also notice the paint is missing from the knee and elbow pads. I stripped them all off (it flaked off easily) and I’m still unsure on whether to repaint them or cut off the webbing part and make real webbing instead. That’s further down the line.
I still need to add the silver press studs on his shoulders too at some point.
I will probably also darken his hair by repainting it to medium/dark brown.
Took some quick pictures in the kitchen with the best lighting. It looks a lot better in hand than the iPhone pics make it appear. Is it perfect? No. But I have gotten rid of the inaccurate textured suit of the stock figure and also gained articulation and the ability to hold a pose! Really happy to have this solid snake on the shelf!
Nice looks good. Is that the zii.production head?Okay a few more

The Phicen body can really hold a pose and gives him a great physique. The upper arms and shoulders look very much like Solid snake!
Nice looks good. Is that the zii.production head?
Thanks! Yes zii.production head and gearLooks great man! I was looking to do the same thing.
You did a fantastic job!After a TON of trial and error, I have finally completed my MGS1 Solid Snake. With the exception of square knee pads.

Look what I came across on twitter....Yoji Shinkawa doing a tribute to AKIRA!! Published in 2005. It's his take on Kaneda, Kei, and Tetsuo. Isn't that sick?? These are the best pics I could find....

Looks good, but I am tired of BB and his doppelganger. I want a good Solid Snake. That's the only thing that I miss from my collection.Limtoys 1/12 Venom re-issue is finally shipping out. Got my shipping notification this morning.
Found these pictures on another threadView attachment 705676

Me neither. I just don't care. It's the worst in the canon franchise in my opinion.I have collectibles for every MGS game except for MGS V . Never bothered collecting for that game.
Gray Fox was done by Mamegyorai and PAK and GECCO(the best Gray Fox as of yet), Venom Snake in Sneaking suit was also done by PAK. Solid Snake was done by Mamegyorai, PAK (Hideous!), F4F and Yamato and some Mcfarlane toys and a couple of others. To be honest the only one who was really able to capture Shinkawa's essence is GECCO. Their Gray Fox is 100%. I hope they'll make a Solid Snake. The battle wounded Gray Fox was sold out in a week in pre-order.Really want Venom Snake Sneaking suit and MGS1 Solid Snake. And a grey fox, idk why no one has done that.
