Im bringing my slip with me so i can get it after work. I get out at 2 and it takes me over an hour to get home from boston. Luckily ill make it. I got the exclusive too. Im not sure if normal retailers are shipping just yet.
 
Hopefully, just hopefully my boss let's me leave a little before 2 today. They've been doing that more often than not on Fridays. I gotta go grocery shopping after the post office, so I can't really look at it until about 5 tonight. But I'll post pics.
 
Got it!!! He looks cool, too bad im gonna nap then go for a ride on the bike first.....

Got my Figma Snake...

Paint apps on the normal face are a downgrade from the proto, but it's not as bad as the photos make it out to be. Not that it couldn't use a touch up. But the face is little over a 1/2 inch, so close-ups really blow-up the flaws.

No significant difference I can see between the face sculpt and the proto.

Second head is much worse. I didn't like it to begin with, but the paint is doing it no favors.

The articulation is excellent. Great range so lots of cool poses to get out of him.

Body sculpt and proportions are nice. Height is exactly 6 inches.

I like the Figma better than Revoltech (sculpt, articulation, paint) and Play Arts (proportions, articulation, size). Won't bother commenting on other companies.
 
Heres a pic of my figma snake on the codec in my cabinet.

Yeah riddick, but try and find that style one out there. You have a point but there were many 80s jackets made.
 
I'm just saying that if it's a replica and not the actual thing made of quality leather then there's no reason to worry about not having it. :)
 
That jacket is the only peace of MGS clothing id consider buying. But it's too expensive, ill just get an Armani leather
 
The funny thing is, there's nothing unique about it. Just 80s jacket. :lol

Watch as that replica jacket skyrockets on Ebay :lol :slap. The sad thing is, most "leather" jackets now days are faux leather - either composed of polyurethane or some type of cheap pleather that'll disintegrate in a few years.

They finally are selling the replica big boss leather jacket and its already almost sold out. The only clothing id buy from mgs.

Eh... I'm sure you can find a similar design of better quality elsewhere.

To be fair to fake leather jackets is the fit is often alot better because the material is quite more dynamic. To get the same level of cut you gotta spend upto and over a grand

You mean, how polyurethane stretches? That's not exactly a good thing. Faux leather jackets can wear out very fast with continued use - added to the fact that they can even dry rot while being kept in storage.

As for leather jackets, they always fit a little loose, and leather will naturally get softer as it ages (the material will even become stronger when it absorbs the natural oils from your skin). They're not meant to be skin-tight, especially if you need to wear a shirt or a sweater underneath.
