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

[ZombieRepublican]

while the non moving figure looks great, it no way resembles the suit in game, the suit in game is pretty flat & think like a tight suit, while the PVC figure had to make it more 3D by making all the designs protruding giving a more 3D shaped suit, highly inaccurate IMO.

also if HT decides to make MGS2 Raiden i'd want him to have rooted hair, and if possible come with few colored wigs as Sideshow Exclusive.

I think its flat because PS2.. It is textured if you look at the art and every figure released, but it is tight like you say its a Skull suit after all. Rooted hair puts in to far into Barbie realm for my comfort levels haha

Pft. People keep arguing which they prefer. I'm just glad any MG figure is getting made in 1/6. I'll get all the MG figures I deem cool.

I agree were lucky to get these MGS collectables, but i want Solid Snake, the main character more than anything soo....

I want HT to make him. Their sneaking suit quality would be absolutely insane. Couple that with the attention to detail they usually put out. Gah. Would be awesome.

Main Character appearances:

Solid Snake:
Metal Gear series: MG1, MG2, MGA 1 & 2,
Count:4
Metal Gear Solid series: MGS, MG4,
Count:2

Big Boss:
Metal Gear Solid series: MG3, MG PW, MG5 I & II,
Count:4

Raiden:
Metal Gear series: MGR
Count:1
Metal Gear Solid series: MGS2
Count:1

I wouldn't say Solid Snake is the main character in the MGS series, he's one of them that's for sure, but if i have to call him the Main Character of the series i would call him the Main Character of Metal Gear Series.

Big Boss starred in twice as many MGS games than Solid. And from what we see there's still lots of story to be developed on Big Boss while Solid Snake pretty much wrapped things up in MGS4.

Yeah, no rooted hair, at all . I find it incredibly creepy, and it only looks good on a few female characters, like Black Widow and Catwoman.

I think your counting abit funny. Are you counting cannon and non-canon? Also Snake was the main character of 2 as well as Raiden.

If cannon Solid Snake is 5 games and BigBoss is 3. (ground zeroes and TTP is one game)
SS: MG1,2 & MGS1,2,4
BB: MGS3,PW,V

if non canon Solid Snake is 8 and BigBoss is 4
SS: MG1,2 GhostBabel, MGAcid 1,2 MGS1,2,4
BB: MGS3,PO,PW,V

Solid Snake is the original main character and overall of the series. Hes the good guy. But i agree Kojima is angling BigBoss as the new, but we will see how MGSV ends up

 

[Frank Jaeger]

MGSV is supposedly the end road for BB anyway in regards to timeline

They might try and squeeze one more in but we'll have to see how V ends

And MGSGZ a full title? please... that would be like saying the demo for MGS2 should be counted as a whole game

I've never seen so much ill informed nonsense on the matter. I'd suggest going back and re-playing all the games before trying to tell people who already know what you're talking about how it is

 

[CollectorGuy]

im actually kinda hoping this gets delayed so they can tweak it enough till we get a nice figure with posing options.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

Has hot toys ever been about articulation? I don't think they have one figure with dynamic articulation since they have always been hindered by the clothing. If you want a crazy posable Raiden then I would get the revoltech, play arts, and maybe possibly figma.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Were getting rubber arms, they're more worried about appearance than functionality.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

We haven't seen the final product yet. I imagine they've changed a few things as HT usually does.
I'm hoping for a longer sword and double jointed arms myself

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Aren't we all ray

Solid Snake is the Luke Skywalker of the series, Big Boss is Darth Vader, overall the most of the series revolves around Big Boss and his downfall with Solid eventually succeeding where he failed. I would call Solid Snake the hero of the series but I think Big Boss has now taken over as main character.

We still don't know if whether the arms are completely rubber, or if there's ball-joints . I'd prefer some joints, myself, but we just don't know if there's anything that actually needs to be changed. But, one thing's for sure, Hot Toys needs to use some dynamic poses for this figure during conventions...

they seem to be pushing BB as the new/main character. Not crazy about it but I am happy they are making another game.

Well this next game seems to be the natural end to Big Boss story. Then back to Solid like Kojima said. Unless it ends with his leather biker jacket to the next final final instalment lol

I'd prefer some double joints, I think they could hide it well in the design and better articulation

 

[Snake Plissken]

When did Kojima mention Solid would be next? I know he's said he's not done with Solid... but I'm not buying he's making him return anytime soon. And if Hayter ain't playing him... what's the point?

Kojima said Solid is making a comeback?

I hope the next game is a MG remake but I'd love if Big Boss and Solid were both playable, see the story from both sides similar to Resident Evil 2, and that would be a perfect way to end the series and make the BB and SS fans happy. After that, the franchise should just end or continue on with Metal Gear Rising sequels.

For real he's a cyborg/robot having joints show wouldn't be a bad thing if they show a little, added realism I say.

I don't recall seeing Kojima say this at all, but no Hayter pretty much kills a lot of interest in the series for fans and possibly newcomers

Yeah sorry for the confusion. I feel Kojima was Implying another Solid Snake and with that quote that "he's not done with him yet"

As you guys know MGS is one of Konamis last cash cows. I think it's a given he'll be back. Most likely they'll get a new actor to portray him for full mo-cap like Koji said he wanted to do like SilentHills (hes not specifically for MGS tho)

I really don't want another Actor playing Solid. At all. But if its a movie actor, gun to my head I'd say Karl Urban
