Metal Gear Solid collectibles

[Snake Plissken]

No problem, ask away

Like I said my opinions on it are split. It does hold its pose very well. The hip joints are a pretty cool design that gives them lots of articulation. It is a bit difficult to get the legs to move though and awkward to hold metal gear as you pose him. My hip joints came rotated incorrectly which is why I had so much trouble at first. It took a good 10 minutes for me to awkwardly hold Rex upside down and reposition his joints properly but it got there. I'll see if I can post some pictures of how I have it posed.

There are some downsides though. It does feel like the materials are cheap. Its plastic and reminds me of Star Wars ships I'd play with as a kid. The paint is pretty abysmal. Its light green and has some pretty weak weathering. The lights don't add much. I'm still deciding if its a keeper.

What a buzz kill holy ****. But it's about as much as I expected.

maybe the Bambaland one will have an articulated head?

Yeah! That's why it's taking so long

It is all the licensing issues with the pilot figure for the delay.

dont return it. you know you love it. tell us the truth. its perfect..............yeah a bummer............ but ill still love it and stare at it like i do with the others. just sucks i have to pay 465 for something that isnt as cool as it should have been.

Man....at over 400 bucks I was hoping for something top of the line you know? That's a huge coin to drop on an item that's getting mixed reviews.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

well people have no problem plunking 600 bucks down on a crappy ashley wood 1/6 fig so its not that bad i guess.

I mean you guys shouldn't necessarily just go off of what I say. It could just be that it isn't my personal idealized vision of what a Rex display should be.

Someone posted a 2 minute youtube video review a couple of pages back. I havent heard it with the sound on but visually it gives a good approximation of what to expect.

Also are they still shipping in nov or is that just hearsay?

It's definitely November and probably early November too. This time next month most should have the EX version.

I'm sorry but I have the yamato sculpt and I can'' understand how you can compare both paintjob but to each his own, thanks anyway for your nice comment

 

[Solidus]

Great work again, Seb. So, are you going to do any commissions of your awesome MGS figures in the future?

There are a bunch of characters that I would like, but unfortunately, we can't rely on Hot Toys give us everything - they're too lazy for that

cancelled meryl and solidus from toywiz. anime-island had meryl in stock for 48 bucks so i ordered it through them. solidus is 98. the money i saved through these guys is gonna cover my shipping costs.
