I think they need to stop hyping things so much, building expectation, and not delivering after… years. I remember in 2022, the Lim representative on this board spoke of the manufacturing speed of their recently commissioned plant, and they seemed to have the suit material figured out.

But, until they actually deliver on something - all of the blurred image renders and company hyping is just a proverbial carrot on a stick and a waste of everyone’s time to keep paying attention to them.

here’s a quick update on my solid snake build..belt, mk holster, and a Frank head sculpt are in the works!
Should I dry brush the vest and boots?

 

[Solidus]

Looks promising, I didn’t know Frank was still taking commissions for the heads. Are you planning to use the 1/6 Konami vest or are you sticking with the vest you currently have?

As for painting, there were a few guys here who primed and hand-painted the pieces. I’d probably save dry brushing for weathering details.

Cocaine's a hell of a drug!



Seriously though... the mannerism of the Japanese language does NOT translate well into English, I guess... I've seen that a lot.

Yea he still has a couple laying around and is still working on mgs material. He posted about doing a full ocelot (mgs2,mgs3) this year so that’s promising.
I wanted to ideally use the Konami vest, but with the M 33 body swap, it’s not as feasible specially with the front closure. The vest the figure has on now is a 3-D print the same with the boots as well as the belt and holster that are coming soon. I don’t know if I want to completely paint over the 3-D printed pieces because I do like the subtle shine and the detailing of the print so that’s why I thought dry brushing would be the best course of action.

Missed on the OG ver. so this will do

This looks nice, now where is MGS1 Snake?

Anyone hope we get a new Naked Snake/Big Boss figure for the new MGS Snake Eater remake. If HT does one cool but I would love to see InArt do one that I think would be interesting.

Not that I wouldn't like it, but I'm honestly tired of Big Boss figures, we need more Solid.

I’m down for anything Snake Eater.

It’s strange that Gecco used the same pose of the of the old Gray Fox statue. That statue was accurate to one of Shinkawa’s sketches, but I don’t believe that this one is.

I agree with this, I’d like to see more solid snake or any other character. Maybe a better PW figure for big boss but I think we’re good on big boss for awhile. I’d love to see an updated Raiden from MGS4 OR an Ocelot figure from any of the games

How is that Solid Snake from Zii.PROduction? It looks decent to me but pricy in after market now

 

[Solidus]

It might be a good placeholder until something better comes along. But, I think the aftermarket prices are way too much for it.

Me personally I don’t think it’s worth it unless you plan on customizing it. Better head sculpt, better under suit, accessories that aren’t super brittle etc.

I have it. I'll get this Fox too. They'll look awesome together.

it's a good figure I'm also still thinking on getting it but not yet...

Off topic
I'm returning once again to the mgs figure game and this time it's with old snake cause I found a second piece so I'm going full custom on this one



probably I'm gonna be spamming the thread for a little bit

 

[OmarColeccionador]

didn't know how to take the suit off but remembered how I took apart the medicom bats suit (from the waist) and it when off practically the same

Due to the suit been in a pretty bad condition I broke it from the armpit a little bit.

I'm probably gonna cut from the back of the suit to avoid anymore damage

What kind of wash did you use on the suit beforehand? I have a spare that I’m fixing to fiddle with
