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

[Cap'n Cook]

Looks pretty good. Not blown away.

The head is like a mix between a real person and the MGS3 model. I was talking more about the sneaking suit.
I get why they didn't do a tiger-stripe first...its very plain. Fatigues and some straps

It's plain thats for sure, but so is the T800 leather biker look. That figure gets made because it's iconic for the character, but so is Snake's Camo, so they really have no reason not to do it.

I would disagree, the leather jacket is more intricate than the fatigues. Also Snake has more iconic looks than the fatigues

Someone should try the Metal Boss fatigues on this guy when they get it.

 

[Kibagami]

So metal gear awesome!

I think many people have that planned. I just hope that we don't see any recasts of the headsculpt though.

No he doesn't. That's the iconic look for Naked Snake No one actually cares about this silly sneaking suit.

For Naked Snake yes (I guess i was talking about all the Snakes) although i am liking that PeaceWalker/GroundZeroes suit!

I wouldn't mind that suit since it's more form fitting and has become the definitive Big Boss Sneaking Suit.

No idea what they would make it out of. It looks shiny and thin like Vinyl or PVC lol

It kills realism but I would sometimes prefer all plastic figures since I get the feeling this thing will chip and crack

I think that's the precise reason they went with this Sneaking suit, as Big Boss' mission clothing of choice has changed from 100% fatigues (MGS3) to 50/50 sneaking suit/fatigues (PW) and now looks to be more Sneaking than fatigues (GZ)

This license better not bleed into Peace Walker... god no... make it stop...

 

[Kibagami]

Wow, got my email from sideshow; it's shipping soon. Charging my card on 11/28? Whoa.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Go my notice, woohoo.

Say what you will about the suit but it's Snake !!!!!

Honestly, guys, I wouldn't expect Hot Toys to ever do a single video game accurate headsculpt (with the exception of the later games). Hot Toys is known for their extreme detail, they're not just going to make a sculpt of a few fuzzy pixels. If they're going to do this, they're going to take it all out. So, blending the game's look with a realistic human look to make this look was, in my opinion, the best idea. I think it looks great. That's exactly what I would picture Snake to look like if he were a real person. Also, it looks a lot like the Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes Snake... I think they nailed it, guys. As for the suit... it IS the suit I had him wearing since the moment I found it, and I seem to think it looks better than a lot of you guys do, so I'm very excited for this guy... He could very well be my first Hot Toys. Only real problem for me is the materials, is this guy made with rubber? Does anybody know? I wouldn't want a rapidly deteriorating $215 toy.

The PS2 gen Snakes were defined enough if HT did wanted them to be game accurate. Heck, both Snakes even had some minor imperfections on their faces. In this case, I can't see why they just didn't go with Naked Snake's PS2 model.

I know I've mentioned this before, if they ever do MGS2, just boot up "The Document of MGS2" and HT will have all the reference they need. We don't need another Peace Walker Snake lookalike.
