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

So, can this figure be posed at all? I really want to order this, but the lack of articulated poses (none) when this is displayed has me a lil' worried. I know some of you prefer museum poses and that's completely fine, but this guy is quite flexible in the game, unlike, say, 1989 Batman. Im planning on posing him.

You all think this will be HT Snake all over again?

Who knows, this is a pretty complicated and bussy figure to pull off so it's all about the tech design.
And annoying pricks talking stupid crap about visible articulation aren't helping in such situations.

The HT Snake can be posed fine with a little work

I don't see there being any issues with this figure other than people not liking the potentially rubber arms

It's not a man in a tight fitting suit so I can't see why they would be restrictions personally

I just think the cba with it and prefer to focus of the big hitters

 

[RIDDICK]

Actually I can see Konami's / Kojima's dirty ego all over the developing process of these figures.

 

[franpincho]

Well, I ordered it anyway. I'm weak.

 

[RIDDICK]

Me too, long time ago. Feel guilty

Ive complete confidence this figure will pose well. Not fantastic. But it will pose. Like the Iron Man figures this will of been developed in a 3D model on a PC and what we have seen on shows could most probably be a 3d Print thats been painted up. Murasama looked super early in development when we saw it.

 

[franpincho]

Yeah, I really have no choice but to hope for that too, lol.

I just hope that this guy gets the same attention as the Iron Man line when it comes to the engineering.

Definitely not Naked Snake all over again since his armor design can easily hide joints just like the Iron Man figs. Its there, but its hidden pretty well in the overall look

I suck at posing him.

I suck at posing him. Would be much better for me than HT.

It seems that you also suck at posting...

I think all these boring standing poses confirms that elbows are covered in rubber. That one close shot of the right elbow looks rubber.

Omg!!!! They put his sword in the sheath..............

His hair doesn't have that ugly yellow tint to it in those photos, could be lighting.

Y'know, I'm starting to like the Gecco hair better.

Y'know, I'm starting to like the Gecco hair better.

That statue is a homerun, and comes with the Sam sword. It's a win vs. the HT version.

That clearly looks like molded plastic not rubber. I don't get why people keep saying there's rubber, it clearly looks
like sculpted plastic to me

 

[Snake Plissken]

It looks rubber now, not for the months we've seen far shots that don't clearly illustrate that fact...
