My PAK Skull Face arrived today. Awesome figure, good proportions, good paint job and very nice sculpt, onde again no QC issues !! PAK is improving indeed !!
PS: Skull is the exact same height as GZ Big Boss, which means that the venom snake size might be really a mistake.

Another Ebay deal, but man the plastic stinks!

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

I had all those vcd figures, they all stink.

Was going to get the "Zombie" version, but i can't stand the smell. I ran it through hot soapy water and it kind of helped.

Why do they stink? Does it have solvents?

Have you tried alcohol mixed with vinegar? People use that to remove stains and odors from stuff, so I don't think it will stain the plastic or anything, but I'd do some research first.

Sounds like someone peed all over their figures. Probably Kojima.

Don't you think that would be a special edition?

A SE would come with a duce - or, the next worst thing, an undersized undersized red hand .

I think it's the plastic, it was overwhelming when I took it out of the box. The warm water and soap helped, but I won't be buying another one.

i meant they stink like they are crappy

 

[Solidus]

So, Jason's figure stinks figuratively, while Supreme's figure literally sinks. Got it. Stank all around.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

dont own one.

 

[Solidus]

Duly noted!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Well, I'm getting my third Venom Snake replacement today. Hopefully this will be the best of the bunch. Although, I did kinda piece together a half decent one from the figures I've already gotten. So I'll end up keeping one at least, and putting this crap behind me.

The one I got yesterday, his left arm on his forearm was so dirtily painted. It looked like poop all over his skin.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Skull face is such a strangely designed character for MGS

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah, very horror film looking. At least it's a solid figure.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Thats what i do too plis i build the best from what i have and send back the ****.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I was able to take the poopy skin forearm off and swapped it, no trouble at all really. One head I got had a really dirty dirty face, while the other two are pretty good.

I'd say skull face fits right in quite perfectly. He could be a proxy representing the kids burned by napalm in Vietnam, or people effected by the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

Although Im pretty sure of your close enough to burn your close enough to die instantly in a nuclear bomb

 

[Snake Plissken]

Or dying really young from a load of cancers.
