Metal Gear Solid Collectibles

[PharOOO]

So is it official that Play Arts will be re-releasing Solid Snake with an improved paint job on the head sculpt or is that just wishful online thinking that I've reading?

These work perfect. I just ordered 10 of them and all the MGS figures are using them.

Thanks man. I'm going to pick up a couple of those.

This is the same stand I mentioned. This pic is a few days old, before I got the lot of 10. The Ninja is using it. Snake is using a Y stand which isn't as good but he's using the crotch stand now.

Funny you mention that, I thought about picking up a 1/6 stinger for Snake lol. Might have to snag all the equipment from the first game. How about a gas mask or NVG? Definitely need a cardboard box.

Haven't tried a gas mask or NVG, bro, but good idea you gave.
Cardboard box, well I can always use the one for the Metal Boss, but it's slightly bigger.. Maybe that's why it's called the Love Box?

I'm debating getting the Solid Snake from Square Enix. What's the general consensus? Worth getting?

Never owned one of the figures before - was going to get the Nathan Drake but decided not to after seeing the terrible in hand photos.

I'm actually using the Hottoys stand for Ninja as well, works like a charm

get it before u regret not doing so. Some might say his face is not accurate or he's
too Buff. But it is Solid Snake every which way i look @ it

 

[Cap'n Cook]

They are, Solidus is shown already. I would guess Raiden should join the line up too, but no word on it yet.

Awesome!

Thanks man.

You definitely need to remove Snake's head to put the FAMAS sling over his shoulder and neck. I really like Snake's suit, but I don't like that obnoxious pouch that he has on the front left of his belt, it just doesn't look right.

As much as I block Twin Snakes out like a molestation I do like the pouches he had on his Sneaking Suit.

What's wrong with Twin Snakes? I never played it, but I thought it was the PS MGS, with updated graphics & extra cutscenes. Wouldn't that be better?

oh my gawd...

Twin Snakes is awful!!

The voice acting is very sub par to the PS1 version.

The cutscenes are very over the top and unneeded.

The music is pretty meh but there is a cool remix of Psycho Mantis's theme.

The gameplay is extremely clunky since the gamecube controller was terrible since it had no pressure sensitive buttons.

The graphics are fine, they run on the MGS2 engine. But they screwed up Snake's eye color, their supposed to be blue but their light green.

For whatever reason during cutscenes Snake's belt pouches disappear but reappear during gameplay.

It's basically the same game mechanic but with FPS... which is clearly wasn't designed for.

Silicon Knights did a horrendous job of it.

 

[Lawrence]

I don't mind over the top cut scenes, & other than the voice acting & controller problems you mentioned, the rest doesn't sound toooo bad

I wouldn't have minded if Twin Snakes was included in the HD Collection. I never owned a GameCube.

Im totally with you there man. Thats what his pouches looked like in the artwork. ____ knows why they added it to the design now.

On the Twin Snakes, although i never played it, was how they removed all the characters accents and the ugly ass face models for the characters too :S

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I have some spare dough and want opinions from anyone who has both; shall I get the MGS4 art book or the HD one?

Already have the SOL one and love it.

 

[hrambo001]

I'm probably late to the party but I just saw the Video from the 3A show and the Metal Gear Rex looks outstanding.

I had to look it up immediately and was surprised that SS has it up for preorder.

I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger. It looks huge though!!

I would go for the MGS4 first and if money permits go for the HD book. The MGS4 has a lot of great stuff in it.

Yeah the character models were very odd. In some angles Snake looked anorexic. And Meryl had something wrong with her eyelids.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Thanks.

That would be pretty sweet too.I never played it myself because i never had interest in GC.

Yeah I agree the Art of MGS4 is a pretty impressive book, lots of very cool concept art in there.

A lot of stuff that didn't make it in too. Early concepts of the B&B Corps. Shinkawa's art was already amazing back in the mid 90's but he's on a whole new level now.

That's exactly the stuff I was thinking of too when I wrote that. I've always enjoyed concept art books, my first exposure being the old Star Wars concept art books, I like seeing the design evolution.

In the Art of MGS book, even the discarded designs are awesome! I like all the various ideas for Old Snake and Raiden. Off the top of my head, I also remember a very badass concept sketch of Meryl, with pretty muscled arms and a bandanna.

A real shame they did not release an Art of MGS3, I'm interested in what the unused designs for that are like.
