Regardless of the interchangable hands, I just hope that Raiden isn't made with a vinyl suit like Snake. His muscles do look a little suspicious.

If the suit is just as bad as Snake,then i dont understand why medicom delayed raiden for so long when it was supposed to be out at the same time as the first Snake.
 
The edition is 500.. it was said at first that 200 would be sold at Japan, and 300 "online" which most likely is the batch procured by Sideshow.

Raiden was delayed for cracked visors, or so I heard.

Yes that is correct,allthough,i doubt this one will sell any good unless the suit is upgraded.

Where did you hear about Raiden?Most of us assumed it got delayed because of the same problems as snake has.

Since the olive drab figure is limited, do you know if Sideshow will number the figures when they distribute them?

I really do hope that the suit is upgraded. I was strapped for cash a few months back and couldn't pre-order Raiden. But, I'm definitely gonna get him, if Sideshow has him back in stock.

Im getting Raiden and new Snake anyway,just gotta find one for a decent price.If i order from sideshow ill guaranteed get custom fees to pay,which sucks,so for me it doesnt matter if i buy for 300$ on ebay and ask the seller not to insure the package so i will avoid the fees or 175$ at sideshow,so im ^^^^ed either way.
 
I heard that about Raiden at Medi-World, but who really knows.

Sideshow usually imports Medicom stuff in wholes so I doubt they will number them.

Woah, I never knew custom fees work out to so much :horror $300, that's a lot of money.
 
Guys, I was thinking: Wouldn't it be cool if Medicom releases a "final fight" version of Snake? Basically, have the figure remade with a damaged octocamo suit, ***SPOILER*** to represent what happened to Snake when he walked through the microwave tunnel, in Outer Heaven.

Not really, the suit looked kinda lame then. He need a better octocamo suit with different patterns to it, and a damn better head sculpt.
 
I think Medicom should have used a better head sculpt to begin with. It's not nice of them to make improvements here and there, with different releases. I mean, Japanese manufacturers are supposed to be the best when it comes to quality control.

My Old Snake is arriving tomorrow from UPS. So, I'll have a better impression of the figure when I see it up close. If I don't like it, I'll return it for the olive drab version :rotfl

I thought that was what we got allready:lol
If you know what i mean,hehe
 
That olive drab version of Snake sure looks sweet. Last week, I decided to order the regular version of Old Snake. Now, I'm pondering as to whether I should return the regular edition Snake for the olive drab version. :confused: Do you guys think I should? Also, in your opinions, which version of this figure, will be worth more for collectors?

Sorry for asking so many questions since I came to this board. :lol But, I'm somewhat of a noob at collecting, and you guys are pretty hardcore.

Most likely the original will be worth more in a couple of years, like the original Tiger Stripe Naked Snake. 1000pcs of him, then 500pcs Squares, then the Croc Cap ver not so ltd I believe.

They will probably release another.

Dont be so sure...everyone that bought the first Snake will have the same doubts as me and you,with the suit,but yeah maybe.
