Action Figure Hot Toys - VGM17 - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Raiden

[potato]

If you see the inside of the figure, you'll know the elbow will somehow be broken if you move it too much. Unless you fix it, before the inevitability happen

if you can take out the arms, replacing them with some Gundam joints should work. there's lots of standalone joints available in the market.

Thanx to WellCQCaboutthat I fixed the damn left arm elbow ratchet.

And now can't decide how to display him:

Like that

Those are awesome. Congrats on getting your arms fixed!

Those poses with the shredded up jacket are excellent too. I was planning on doing something similar- maybe using the AoU Nick Fury coat once it comes out. That one looks like it has wires so more dynamic posing options....though getting Raiden's shoulder blade-armours under it without looking strange might be a problem. Is that why you opted for sleeveless?

 

[Plastic Bateman]

OK, I absolutely have to know where you got that sleeveless coat from.

I need it...

Despite have 2 broke elbows this is one of the nicest looking hot toys figures going. I was thoroughly impressed with the look just a mega shame they made the arms soooo badly

Thanks, I'll see if I can pick one up. Looks great.

I could definitely use a trench coat for Medi's MGS 4 Raiden.

Damn, Batman looks bigger than i expected next to Raiden and he is on the smaller stand too.

Batman is the Megalodon of Hot Toys. Anything looks small next to him.

Two figures I'm gonna have to choose between.

Current gen too.
(tho Asylum > City)

 

[Snake Plissken]

Current gen too.

I'd say TLOU would complete the circle in there.

I really don't know what advice to give you. But I'd say Raiden is a "nicer" figure, but his arms are too much of a gamble while Batman is a safer bet... you might get cosmetic crap that puts you off. Such as scrapes and a crooked belt buckle (drove me ****ing nuts)

 

[Plastic Bateman]

These pics have settled it, Batman here is next on my shopping list. Damn, what an amazing-looking figure

At some point this'll be too true

His arms and huge price tag will drive me up a wall...and i pose my figures a LOT. Batman....doesn't seem to have many issues, it just varies. Raiden is a widespread problem. At least he is cheaper.

I dunno, I need a good Arkham City figure too

You got a much better chance being happy with it than Raiden, since there's nothing devastatingly busted with it.

It's a solid figure, I just wish it was executed better.
