Nice work!

I've been trying to get one of those iphone cases for years. But unfortunately it's really hard for me to order off the Japanese konami webstore. it costs like $100 and shipping about be +$30. So seeing it under 140 on eBay is pretty reasonable.

I was unaware of that. But the problem was that Zavvi didn't ship to the US. So I had to order my first set for over 200$.

I was able to get them to ship it to the US. The first time I bought it with no problems. Then I tried to buy two more and they cancelled my order saying they wouldn't ship it to the US. So then I tried ordering 1 and they sent it. So you can get lucky by trying again like I did maybe.

Video Game Masterpiece 1/6 Scale Figure - The Boss
8,750 JPY around 90 USD not sure how much shipping is

I got mine from there when it was on special for 10955 Yen. Still decreasing in price I see. Is this the worst selling licensed HT figure ever? A $90 HT figure. Who would have thought?

I don't know how much shipping would be for only The Boss figure, but shipping The Boss figure & a couple of HT truetype bodies cost 6100 Yen.

I dont think she was extremely popular to begin with. When i say this, i mean worldwide. The only way youd know of her is if you played mgs3. She was never in a movie, tv show, or in any mainstream comics. Nobody would know about her otherwise. I see why noone cared and it didnt sell. Everyone knows snake, additionally they thing snake and bb are the same person. They see him in multiple games so he gets mega exposure. Not to mention theres youtubes on him, figures, comics, and a movie in progress. Its not because of the reasons us nitpickers wouldnt get her, shes virtually unknown, shadowed by the snakes. Most people got her to go with naked snake (like me). This is how she got the little bit of light she got. Shes not made sexy like the other superhero sluts so there wasnt the "i buy hot dolls" people to fawn over her either.

Will you be using it? That will be one mighty expensive accessory.

The Boss is the only 1/6 figure I just can't get for some reason. It's extremely unappealing. I'll only pay $100 for her max as I got Snake for $120. I do believe she sold badly, no non-fan would find her appealing.

I haven't got the Boss either yet. There's one for sale here for £120 which is pretty good. There's just more demanding figures needing the money

 

[Lawrence]

I've actually discussed getting a custom The Boss sculpt made, with a very talented 3D sculptor here, but I think it's going to require big boy money. If it was guaranteed that I could make back a large portion of the money spent, by selling casts, I'd want to do it. But I feel the interest level might not be high enough, for people to even bother with buying unpainted casts, & pay more to have it painted by somebody else.

Because discussions only reached to the point where I would be the one to shoulder all the commission costs (I wanted to start an interest list, but the sculptor needed guaranteed payment for his work, which is understandable of course), & that I could make money back from selling casts, I don't really want to mention any names

Say an unpainted cast, with a pretty good 'in game' likeness, is around $80 (random price I made up), give or take, would anybody here buy it?

 

[J3D1_KN1GHT]

I would be interested but like everything else I buy i'd like to see it first. :/

Buy the cheapest hot toys stand you can find from ebay & message evilface (a member here) and ask him to custom make you a decal for it. The results are really nice. Better than a Hot toys stand actually, because the writing is raised and catches the light nicely

 

[J3D1_KN1GHT]

Tell him Kiva sent ya so he can get his commission.

 

[Kiva]

Ive sent all kinds of people his way! Im always telling people from ebay to come here after theyve seen my auctions!

anyway here is the base

Of course you can give him your own design but this is what i got

Unrelated note as i had him out -

 

[Frank Jaeger]

nice pose

Never understood why they gave him the coat. It's not like it's really hiding anything haha

 

[J3D1_KN1GHT]

Koatjima, go figure!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Kiva is making me want to put my coat back on Raiden
