Eugene Wong won't let us forget.
That's what it is, the shine. I couldn't put my finger on it.
HT’s over reliance on the rubber suits is especially egregious here. Hopefully this is just an early look and the full preorder figure at the end of the season is fully cloth. [...]
Pretty funny to see Hot Toys tease a figure after Marvel already released three of their promo images. Like, why bother cropping the head, Hot Toys? You already gave Marvel some full-reveal images to share.
Maybe they're already rethinking the hood material.Pretty funny to see Hot Toys tease a figure after Marvel already released three of their promo images. Like, why bother cropping the head, Hot Toys? You already gave Marvel some full-reveal images to share.
Isn't Oscar Isaac a HT collector too? Would be pretty ****** if they didn't give him a sculpt of himself, can't see him not approving it.On the other hand, it's a good sign of an Oscar Isaac sculpt if the head and hood are separate pieces.

I really hope that thing gets off the ground at some point. It could still make for some solid action/espionage movies even if most meta narratives are stripped due to not working in film format. MGS1 as a mix of MGS1 & MG/MG2, then MGS2, a prequel with BiBo's adventures and then MGS4 renamed as MGS3 to close it off would work as a film "trilogy".He's a self professed geek. I hope he insisted on a sculpt
He said on the Triple Frontier press tour his dream role was Solid Snake, then got offered the role.
I don't know, I feel that's too much. When you're doing an adaptation you don't need everything in. 6 episodes with some flashbacks to MG1/2 could work for MGS1. MGS2 would need more episodes though, I agree there. MGS3+PW could serve as a "bridge" season. Then cap it off with the MGS4 plot. The problem is how to handle the massive info dumps and exposition in film format, let alone all the meta that can't be carried over. So at that point I can see why they'd try to strip it down to the absolute essentials and make some 2.5 hr movies as basic stories without all the "baggage".The only way I could see Metal Gear working is a long form tv series like HBO and The Last of Us.
10 episode season dedicated to each game.
Ep 1 briefing, ep 2 landing at Shadow Moses, ending at 10 the fight with Liquid on top of Rex.
$300 does not seem right for a mostly molded plastic figure. Where exactly is the effort I'm paying for?
the glossy shine ruins the entire look. His suit should be completely matte.
The more I study those pics, the more I agree that the molded parts need replacing with either cloth or a better cloth facsimile. Or IDK, maybe a duller, matte finish will do the trick. While I think their material choices were probably driven by cost (i.e., less labor intensive so as to keep the price in a tolerable range), this is one figure where most collectors would probably gladly pay $50 extra for their efforts.That's what it is, the shine. I couldn't put my finger on it.
