is that mgs4 mark 2 able to be bought still? i know im years late lmao

I don't believe that a Mk. II was ever officially released. I've seen some independent 3D print projects of it, and there's a paper-craft currently available for download.

Been impulsively considering the Zii.PROduction Solid Snake lately. Any thoughts?

I don't have it myself, but it seems like a good figure with some inaccuracies (wrong texture of the suit, no musculature on the body, inaccurate pouches). I'd only consider it as placeholder until something better comes out. Maybe the Lim Toys MGS figures if they ever get around to releasing them.
 
This looks considerably better.

I posted my modded zii figure a few pages back. I Like it after my mods but it’s still not perfect. As stock, I’m not sure it’s worth the price. I guess it depends on how much you want to scratch the solid snake itch at 1:6 scale versus how much you’re willing to wait for a better figure from some other company.
 
A bit stylized there with The Boss' ghost, but it does capture the spiritual elements of MGS 3 as well as the boss fight with Peace Walker
:unsure: . I think it would've been better if they painted the white lilies on her ghost, to make it seems as if her spirit was traveling in the wind.

Although, if I were getting this, I'd probably remove her from the diorama. That scene was meant to capture the loss, betrayal and loneliness that Big Boss felt. Having The Boss there takes away from it from its impact, I believe. Adds to the shipping price too with a bigger box needed :lol.
 
Yeah, it looks strange. I also think they could've shrunk the dioramas down a bit and not make the huge hunk of brown plastic on the sides so apparent.. It looks like Big Boss is standing on a stage :lol
 
Be nice if someone made a new MGR Raiden in 1/6...

I've always considered getting the HT version but it's really old and the hair looks like it's sculpted from hot glue plus the apparent elbow issues.
I have a Inferno version. I remember seeing the figure cheap on BBTS with credit. Wish I grabbed it then. I agree though, would love another, or a 3rd party one!
 
This is more of a PSA with this post:

As I've been collecting old Metal Gear Solid memorabilia for the the past couple of years, I've been seeing some crazy price increases. In terms of collectible value, there's absolutely NOTHING from this franchise that should be worth over $500 (max). That includes the sorters, or any of the most valuable signed items you can think of. Case in point: the following auction has what appears to be a "sealed" copy of the MGS 1 PAL region Premium Package.

The current bidding has it at $1,575 USD. However, it's important to take note that the PAL Premium Package was never factory sealed! Here's what defunct MGS collector, ViolentSnake (who once coveted the largest MGS collection) had to say about it:

So, with that said, someone could easily seal a Premium Package in good condition for a resale. Or, the Premium Package from Ebay was bought from a retailer who decided to wrap it up in plastic. Whatever the case, this is the most insane Ebay auction I've seen in years, so I figured I'd bring it to attention. In case someone here is bidding on it, it's really not too late to pull out of the auction. You're essentially paying a prince's ransom for a seal that won't be accepted for VGA grading.

The PAL Limited Edition Premium Package is pretty rare, but it's definitely not as rare as the black and white sorters, or any of the three shareholder editions by comparison (which are sold for much less). This is why it's important to do your homework when considering major purchases or you're just going to be throwing your money away.

That's interesting. It may or may not be new, but you'd never know unless you break the seal :pow.

If I were looking for one of these today, I'd just buy an unsealed one in good condition.
