Metal Gear Solid Collectibles

[spaceghost2000]

Did the limtoys MGS solid ever exist? I've been gone forever, life stuff, missed everything.

Not yet, seemed to go on the back burner after Gunslinger & the Investigator. Hopefully after the the latter, then the Cowboy and Nathan we might see something. Surprised they didn’t capitalise on the timing Metal Gear Collection by at least getting 1 version of Snake up for preorder.

I'd like to see Gecco do a MGS1 Snake statue and for a moment there I thought they might, since they released that Gray Fox statue. Heck, just need more Metal Gear merchandise period, so many great characters and designs are just being squandered.

They confirmed they were working on it 3 or 4 years ago but since then they have put the figures on the back burner. Last updates are from 2 years ago. Considering LIM's line-up (Investigator, Nathan, John, Dutch, Aloy, Ellie and Joel, plus 1/12 figures) I wouldn't expect anything anytime soon. I was very excited when they confirmed they were working on Solid Snake figures because their figures are awesome but I kinda lost hope.

I’m pretty sure they reconfirm every year.

Last I remember they were thinking about how to handle Snakes (MGS1) body suit. Either cloth or plastic.

I think it should be like Hot Toys Batfleck, that nailed the muscular look and material perfectly

I've checked the european store and there was nothing. Not even Tekken or SF.

Not that I need more MGS shirts but I’ll be picking these up.

Oh hell yea, I picked up the gray fox shirt. I think it's the best one of the bunch!

Oh yeah, while I'm back for anybody who's a fan of Solid Snake, you can get him in fortnite in 5 days or so. He's part of the new pass. Not figure related but I figured I'd let you cats know since we're all MGS fans here.

Do you need to buy this battle pass to get him, or is there a free way of doing it?

you gotta pay like 10$ if you didn't earn enough for a free pass, since you CAN get the passes for free forever, but it takes about a year from free vbs. However, since he's the secret skin, all you gotta do to get him are the little mini quests to unlock his skin immediately when they come in 5 days. You can probably do most of them in team rumble in one match.

The old Snake style and other cosmetics won't be available right away but MGS2 is!

 

[faker]

For anybody wondering, Snake and all of his stuff is avaiable now in the pass, with MGS2 Raiden with his mask being a shop item later. His quests are super easy too!

Started playing Fortnite just for Old Snake Lol
I read that battle pass characters don't go for sale in the shop after the season concludes, unlike characters introduced via the shop. Is this true? If so, that's a bummer, since there are some past skins that would've been cool to acquire. Oh well, glad to have gotten Snake in time. Thanks!

Yeah, for now, but there's so many old skins you simply can't get anymore that are iconic I don't see them keeping up with that much longer. Until they decide to break the glass on old skins, they're gone for now, Snake is top, also Raiden was in the shop by surprise too with his Skull suit complete with mask.

I wish I hadn't waited so long to get into the game, but I didn't have the pc for it back when it was hot lol. Glad you're enjoyin it!

Thanks! Hope you're right about Epic rereleasing old battle pass gear -- I need that Matrix sentinel glider!
It's really cool playing as Old Snake for the first time since MGS4. Would've been neat to also have an alt skin of him with his full-face octocamo mask, but I'm super happy he's in the game. Revives my wish for a 1/6 company to update him from Medicom's original. Seeing as we seem to be living through a 3rd-party renaissance right now, I'm crossing my fingers that something rises up.
Also: MGS4 Raiden in Fortnite would be amazing

Well, the latest surveys suggest we might get MGS4 / r Raiden so who knows, it's a bummer he's not got the octocamo mask but I only run MGS2 Snake. Who knows, we might get 3rd party support if the rumors of the mgs4 remaster are true.

I'm still waiting on Lim's MGS2 Snake, I know somebody else did one, but it's not what I was after.

 

[Femtech]

I can't believe how time passes. I remember when LimToys dropped their Ahab proto pics and the hype was real for what they could do with the rest of the Metal Gear IP. I guess the dream was not to be. : (
I wish a GameToys or Rocket Toys-level company would surface for Metal Gear figures. I only have two grails: FFXII Balthier (who I hope GameToys tackles) and Old Snake. If a MGS4 remake is what it takes to get him, then I hope the rumor you mentioned is true.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

I think it’s actually insane the lack of other 3rd party options. I see lots of less popular stores get figures all the time. Makes no sense :-(.

I skipped out on that Zii productions figure. Didn’t like the texture of the suit, nor the proportions of the body.

I don't mind it, but I really want one with a texture like the Fortnite Snake, personally. That durable almost canvas suit so there's no chance of ripping down the road and that subtle weathering which you can't really see in this pic. I know it's not as accurate...maybe, but I prefer it. It's strange there's only one third party option AFAIK, considering how expensive MGS stuff gets second hand you'd think they'd jump on that train ASAP.

 

[Solidus]

Konami happens to be very litigious, so maybe that has something to do with the lack of third-party releases. The Zii figure came as a surprise. But, at this point, I’d only believe that MGS figures are happening when they actually ship. There’s been promises of a game-accurate MGS 2 Snake in this thread since Firejclawjack started posting renders in 2017. Since then, nothing has materialized.

 

[faker]

It's a shame, I know lim posted some blurred stuff as recently as last year, but still nothing. It's bizarre, you'd think they'd stop teasing us at this point. Unless the suit material is that high of a contention point?
