Because BBTS 
*$110
BBTS is good with CS and all, but damn they inflate prices retardely.
Big reason why i stopped using them.
I only buy Play Arts and Figuarts from them anymore.
That custom ninja sucks big monkey balls johnson, as much as the pink and green bb pak i posted.

The PAK Ninja was only made to sell for charity

I've honestly wondered if BBTS mostly inflates prices due to imports since a lot of their American figures are under retail like NECA. Though I don't buy often off BBTS either, only if there's a huge sale or the price is no different. Also the PAKs I think they gave up on considering how many times they went on sale 
Also bear in mind some people, even those big reviewers on YouTube, still pay for those inflated prices for no real reason.

I had the same problem with the one I opened up, the joints are tough plastic and hard to break, here's how I got the neck part of the joint out.
>Grab a thin string of sewing yarn (is that correctly said?
>Put it around the joint on the lower part, the part closer to the neck, wiggle it a little so the string sinks all the way down in the neck, do it 2 or 3 times so the grip is stronger.
>Pull up slowly while wiggling.
It's sturdy plastic but try to be careful with the thin pivot that connects both parts of the joint.
Should come out easily and you can snap the joint back together, I hope you understand my instructions, ask me any doubts bro.
What defect do you mean? They're supposed to be concave on both sides.
Thanks, I used a fine dental tool in the place of string and it (eventually) hooked onto the joint and let me wiggle it loose. One thing I really dislike about these Revolmini figures is that the joints are mushroom pegs or insanely tight ball joints. No more fun swapping parts, or extending joints for extra range. Also I really don't like the Cyborg Ninja on closer analysis, it's a serious dip in quality from Solid Snake
As to the concave thing, I'm too lazy to take pics at the moment, but the left-hand side of the face (front-on) has a divot in it where the eyeslit is, the right-hand side doesn't. After inspecting some pics on Google, they're all like this - it's apparently a flaw in the actual master mould. The rubber sections at the hips are absolute crap and there's a line of exposed blue plastic where some paint has been scraped off the copper part of the girdle during assembly. It's very nicely articulated when the rubber sections don't foul up the hip joints, but overall very disappointing. Might not buy anything else from this line again, honestly, especially looking at how badly the paint applications on the excellent Venom Snake sculpt seem to have been handled.
On the subject of rare MGS items, many years ago in the UK, the Official Playstation Magazine used to run a monthly competition where they gave away all the promotional swag games companies had given them (a far cry from today's gaming press, that's for sure). One month, they gave away some promotional goods from Konami they'd acquired in Tokyo at a preview of the first game - two of them I've seen doing the rounds on the internet subsequently, a hip flask and a bullet lighter - but the third was a metal pen with a digital voice recorder built into it. Very fancy for 1998/1999, and I've never, ever seen this particular item mentioned or photographed ever again. Anyone know anything about that?

Beautiful 
It's a nice figure, but they really need to make the heads bigger.

Picked mine up form my LCS, the head is very close to the same size as the ground zeroes version, problem is the body is huge in comparison... kinda sucks. its like him being in a coma for 9 years and losing all his muscle made him grow a head taller... lame
I have the GZ version, and the head is pathetically small compared to the other figures... plus that body is slightly bigger than the others. If Venom has an even bigger body with that tiny head...

Ground zeroes isnt too bad, the neck is long but that was an easy fix
Check out my new watch face, best one hands down.

That's awesome how much did that cost .
The watch was $300 plus another $60 in a service plan. You can choose from hundreds of faces. Its the moto360 android watch. The face was free after i paid a dollar for the app.
