1/6 EKUAZ EKS010/EKS011 Metal Gear Snake Boss Tiger Stripe/ERDL

The hair looks off but overall a great set even if they don't improve the head sculpt.

Still have my old custom so it's not for me but I'll definitely be hunting parts of it

 

[MGS_OldBoy57]

If anything it’ll make good kitbash fodder..

Reactions on BBICN are similar to ours. Comments about the hair and price. One comment I thought was interesting was they pointed out that Ekuaz decided to split these two up based on camo. It would make more sense just combining these two into one pack.

If they wanted to do two releases, the eye patch should be removable and one should have face paint while the other clean.

I don’t get why the price is so high when it has so many reused parts and they are cashing in with two releases.

Ekauz imo gets a little lazy with the smaller details, most of the weapons are looking inaccurate.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Looks pretty bad.

 

[JorjeCroft]

$272 and $230 for this? Too much innaccuracies. It’s not worth it IMO. I hope there are better offerings from another company.

Agreed. I'll wait remake to be released. then other companies will drop another versions. Sculpt isn't good and body isn't chonky enough

The tiger stripe is not even the right pattern. Too much white and brown pattern rather than the black stripe. Photos on above post is better for tiger stripe. Medicom did it better. And choosing woodland camo instead of olive drab? Whoever decides that is not playing the game. The poster boy for MGS3 is olive drab and tiger stripe uniform.

Yeah I hope other companies catch on. The rifle doesn’t have camo pattern. Medicom did. Ekuaz didn’t even try to base it on the remake. Just straight up looking like Hot Toys sculpt. I get people are liking it because the thirst of not having an MGS figure. I was surprised to see it too. But after carefully looking at it, I’m disappointed. It was just Ekuaz doing a good presentation. That’s not Naked Snake. With all that innaccuracies and high price, I’m fine with not having it in my display.

It would have been cool for one to have the headband with eye patch and the other with face paint not headband. I'd like to get both but will probably stick to one.

Yeah I'm not feeling that sculpt either. I might grab the Tiger Stripe version, we'll see. I think someone else will make Boss as well once the MGS3 remake drops.

This is pretty neat though:

Anyone know what the items are in that white box in the pic below? Not sure what I'm looking at:

Think I see what you mean...
Not entirely sure, but I think it's the tiger stripe he's wearing in parts of the Delta trailer.

I like the tiger stripe camo, but the olive drab would have been one of my top choices as well.

 

[Akiratang]

Tiger pattern is good to me, no ones gonna tell unless you have a Google image side by side.

It’s different the white and brown part are too “noisy” and you can clearly see that. That’s the first thing that bothers me. The black stripe may be a good amount, but the green part needs to be more. The remake and original have quite the same pattern.

It’s good if you like it. But they should be better so there are no one left out. We all want a good figure. Funny thing is, even without google images, the first time I see it, I felt something is off with the tiger stripe, I don’t know why. I checked google and there it was. I had a chat with kfcolt via instagram and he said the same too about the pattern.
And all of this would never be an issue if they went with olive drab. But then again, the fabric color could be wrong and we still have different opinions about it
I’m sure this is not the only Naked Snake we’ll get though.

Haha yeah there’s always something to nitpick, especially on these forums. But since this is a third-party figure, I’m not expecting perfection. If you hold out for absolute perfection, you’ll never fully enjoy anything. From 2–3 feet away, which is how I’ll be viewing it most of the time, it looks like a solid representation.

Had the price been a bit lower, I think people would have been more forgiving. That said, I’m sure there will be another version in the next few years, there always is. If Hot Toys announced a 2.0 of this figure, I wouldn’t even bother with EKUAZ. But as of now, I think this is the best readily available option. Plus, the accessories look like a lot of fun, even if I won’t end up using half of them.

I have issues with it but I think this will be serviceable for the majority of collectors until a better version comes along. We can be nitpicky because of our love for the franchise and character but most people can't even differentiate Solid Snake from Naked Snake!

Also from what I've researched, the tiger stripe camo in Delta uses the exact same texture from TPP's version of the outfit, just colored a bit differently.

 

[Batffeck5.0]

I pre ordered the tiger stripe just to kit bash it out. Worth the accessories alone to me

Speaking of, any hint as to when another certain manufacturer might have an update on their future MGS creations?

 

[Josec186]

I'll wait until the last day to preorder this as I'm not fully convinced about it. The price, the inaccuracies, the weird afro, but I so want something new related to Metal Gear for the longest time.
I'll wait in case a certain company teases they're working on a tiger stripes Snake

special bullets, spare silencer, and maybe 2 tracking devices or smoke bombs.

For God's sake I hope Lim makes one from the upcoming remake. I'm skipping this and waiting to the ''prettier version''


P.S. also isn't Ekuaz Damtoys in disguise?

 

[Akiratang]

Lim would be a great company to tackle it, but even If they announced it you may as well not bother with the speed they do things
