Metal Gear Solid Collectibles

Why is it that nobody can sculpt the head of MGSV snake? Every figure that's been released of him has been way off.

Because everyone's busy being ashamed of their words and deeds. The game speaks to you in many ways, y'know.

I can't understand why licensed ones can't either. I would imagine Konami or whoever would have been able to get them the 3D renders as it's just over a year old

If computer guys can extract the files from the game, then there's no excuse really

 

[ZombieRepublican]

I remember that the team 3D printed the ground zeroes model for figure reference purposes.

I think the 1st Gecco statue is still good IMO. But this has always been a problem with snake. The only figures to get it right were the MGS3 Medicom and the Kubrick figures

 

[Dylan]

Well with Venom the only people that have tried aren't really known for doing decent likeness anyway. Playarts, revoltech and Gecco aren't really the go to standard of character likeness.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Very true Dylan

While i will succumb to the medicoms being a decent version, they aren't the game renders by any stretch but the gecco Venom isn't that far off your right

For me art work accuracy is more important. But no one gets either right. Medicom is the only one to make a decent artwork rendition of Snake.

There is always that amazing custom

This is true. The game does speak to you in many ways but not in the intended ways.

 

[Dylan]

Whoever decided not to produce those statues should be ashamed of their words and deeds.

 

[FSLAR]

For all we know Konami probably said no to those.

Everyone riked them.

There it is. The last MGS figure you'll see for a long time.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

nope, youre wrong dylan, theres the menshdge raiden statue that just went up for preorder.

 

[Dylan]

That's not a figure tho.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

true, kinda seems like one though. the venom snake one was almost like a medi figure.

 

[Dylan]

Thinking about getting that Raiden. Haven't gotten a single Rising collectible yet.

 

[FSLAR]

You could probably find the PAK or Revoltech for a decent price, the PAK is great...for a PAK anyway but on its own, still solid.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I'd just buy the Hot Toys one, it's a great looking figure

I'd second that. If you want just one MGR Raiden and call it a day (like me), get the HT version. It absolutely looks the part.

My 1/6 scale Quiet, Gecco.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

I think the face on the Gecco looks better than the in game one lol
