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

[Snake Plissken]

They should of just went with actual hands instead of entire gloves to keep it seamless. I can tolerate knowing it's a figure by looking at it if I can have articulation in return.

Please make a BDU version Hot Toys...

I hope we at least have the option of being about to zip up the Boss's suit, I believe it has the teeth of a zipper on it.

 

[Demimatt]

so how do we get the suit off him?

bump.

No idea, tried to figure it out last night :/

Take his head off put his arms straight up in the air and slide the suit up words off. the bungee should stretch by design. just B careful not to break the body by using too much force

God that sounds terrifying, I thought it was a one piece from his torso to his crotch. But good to know that the sides are bungie cords. Thanks for the info!

You will hae to undo the elastic on the side if you want to remove the suit.

First you will have to unglue the elastic on one side of the torso parts.
Once the torso part is removed you will see that the bodysuit is stitched at the back. You will have to unstitched it.

Be very carefull if you never do that on a figure you will have a hard time putting it back since you will have to sewn it at the back.

All this talk about removing his suit frightens me haha.

 

[elvis1976]

Word, mine will stay stock, if people want to make customs I would sugguest popping the head onto another body and then go from there.
Mines due today at some point, looking forward to it

Not sure why you would want to remove the suit from the body anyways. when u kit bash don't you just use the head sculpt and random parts? Id just get a new body and build on that. Seems easier and if you want to put it back itd be all set.

I agree, I may just poach the head off it or bite the bullet and get another :X

What body does he use? A regular True Type?

Just so you guys know, SSC has the True Type Advanced Muscular body up for pre-order for $59.99.

haha that is the first thing I did

After seeing your awesome pics, elvis, I think I'll try my hands at customizing my own Tiger Stripe Big Boss figure. I'll just need to get an extra head-sculpt and accessories since I wouldn't want to ruin the Sneaking Suit LOL.

 

[lerath666]

ooo.. he's sewn in? Didn't realise that.

Great. gotta buy an extra body then

I definitely see that as a less dangerous route into doing a custom. This suit's material seems very temperamental.

 

[lerath666]

well.. just got mine. he looks alot more blue in person than the pictures lead you to believe.

I see what you did there.

 

[lerath666]

I wanted to remove the suit completely cause I want to put it on another body to make him looks taller and bulkier.

Ok so I just opened mine, the thing looks fantastic, so well done!!! the outfit looks great, the headsculpt is killer, the accessoires are all well made all be it alittle lite. Overall very happy witht the purcese and as someone stated about the head, hot toys are back to what they do best, amazing head sculpts with amazing paint.

Ok now on to the nitpicking, yeah this thing is a statue, nearly no posing can be done aside the bare minimum. I knew that going in and have him in a musium pose, The outfit barely moves the hands and boots do nothing but rotate. Aside from that its a beautiful figure that will look awesome on your shelf. If you want more posablity look elsewhere, you want the best looking snake there is this is it

I can basically only keep him in the default pistol and knife post from the game when you just have him stand idle. Aside from that and maybe hold a rifle, you can't make him do much at all and it will be the same with the Boss.
