Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater - Naked Snake (Sneaking Suit Version)

[Mazukou]

Sorry Keaton Bats, but keep that muscular rubber suited body under that cape will ya, you're making Snake look small & insignificant. Sheesh, I had to reposition the figures because Snake is way too darn short, his body mass is also seems a size smaller than Keaton so I had to keep them apart so that it's not too obvious.

I guess despite the complaints of the sculpt and articulation, nobody was OCD enough to make a fuss about the height but me.

But come to think of it, arent predators supposed to be taller than humans? plus super man in levitating so i dont think theres something wrong there..

You're right about all of those, (Preds are 2m tall and above) but Naked Snake's fictional height is 1.92m and Keaton is 1.78m, so even with the batsuit, I'm not sure if he should look bigger than Snake wearing a Snaeking Suit.

On a side note, Snake and Christopher Reeve are supposed to have the same height, with Snake obviously having the advantage in muscle mass but that's not the case with the figures.

Keep in mind that I'm just nitpicking in an otherwise great figure, I'm just wishing that Hot Toys should have taken more care in the proportions.

Wheres the cheapest in the UK to get this? I've found £135

Yes buy it now. You'll not get any cheaper than that! it's a good price does that include shipping?

It's the main problem i have with it, the proportions are the worst thing about the figure. He's way short (my Medicom Kaneda is taller) and he's got low body mass which makes his head look big. It's not really noticeable if you display him with The Boss or by himself

Looks like the same height as Batman from this angle. Plus you have Supes flying and a tall Classic Predator sandwiching him

Is there an echo in here?

Those acrylic cases are pretty cool how much do they usually go for I thought they were pretty expensive when I first saw them

Not really Jason, I bought them for $15 each. Don't quote me on this but I think these cheap cases originated from China, as I've seen plenty of these types of cases on eBay at great prices.

As for the quality, they are snap on cases and are pretty tough, I've dropped them a few times and no scratches or cracks. The only negative I'd say is they're not airtight.

Neither are detolf cases either I don't care about airtight

Any tips on how to remove the head without damaging the earpiece? I was not sure if the earplug was glued in and didn't want to pull on it too hard before asking fellow boardies

Thanks for any help

Cheers fellas, it's better quality than i thought it was. It's never as good as a proper camera is it, it just caught the light well

Wanted to go for something more iconic with the pistol and knife

 

[Jack D]

Frank, looks great!!!!

 

[playboy409]

that's a nice pose. It looks better than my attempted CQC pose. Might have to steal that one.

 

[gotham_knight]

As with The Boss, I'm still trying to get the best pose for Naked Snake at the moment he is like this which is pretty bland, going to have to see what I can do.

 

[Jack D]

Looking good. Damn that's a nice figure.

 

[bedil_bengkung]

At last..... i got this figure, and very happy.
(Only head and few equipment)

It's Naked and he is Snake
