Probably 2 weeks. Mine got here from London in 10 days.

You got a collection there pliss, coming along nicely

Do you change the poses up much? I tend to get bored of them all looking the same or having multiples in the same stance

I'm currently re-arranging my collectibles, making space for new ones coming in the next couple of days. I'll post some pics when i receive the white raiden

I don't really change up stuff regularly. I might put Raiden in a dynamic sword pose but his arm doesn't hold positions very well which I'm bummed about.

Although when I get all 5 Raiden variants I'm going to post them like Power Rangers or Sailor Moon

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I don't like to haha, just because i don't want the joints to become loose. Which happens almost instantly on the older PAK figure like MGS1 Snake. However i have so many scenes or poses i like that i want to re-create, it's hard to allow him to be in one pose forever

On the other hand the joints on my Solidus were SOLID. It took so much force to move his left tentacle round (it was facing up and not flowing flush behind him) i actually was sweating incase i snapped it

I havent even tried to loosen his upper arms

Solidus arms I think are way too easy to snap off from how they are designed so I don't really mess with him at all.

What's wrong with the Raiden's. If anything

The swivel joint on the shoulder of mine doesn't really move and the arm just falls flat and requires fiddling to stay in place.

 

[chaosMonkeyPoo]

True, still bugs the living **** out of me. I'm pretty confident everyone has this issue though.

Mine actually doesn't have that issue. I did however break the tiny balljoint for the radar dish's antenna, so you win some lose some I guess.

Spinning handstand slash attempt

its not as refined as i like it to be, i need to tweak it in several areas to make it look more natural. But the idea is there

 

[Snake Plissken]

How easily does your shoulder joint move Kiva? Not the plug into his torso, but the swivel joint under the shoulder pad?

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Looks like it holds well though

It would have been nice for PAK to include a flat hand to make these upside down poses more natural

It would of been nice, i could of bent the wrist a bit more to make it flatter on the base but it made it look like he had broke his wrist!

Nothing to complain about, it is all surprisingly sturdy and well put together. Th only thing i nit pick is the creaking in the legs when you move them forwards or back between the notches on the joint. Its a bit disconcerting when you fear instead of a click noise your going to hear a snap! But the shoulders are all fine. Well, the arm on the sheath could be stronger because sometimes i have to sit for a minute to get it to stop falling backwards when i want it to be positioned on his back.

The joints are like that on the solidus too, i thought they felt a lot more sturdy

I'm psyched to get it tomorrow though and see whats possible. I almost thought about just leaving the White Raiden MIB and wait until the regs version was released and use him for display. I doubt that will be case when it arrives in hand tomorrow!

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Nice shots dude. you're really breaking in that figure huh? I think you've done practically every pose! leave some shots for me to do when I get mine!!!! I cant believe that youd consider parting with it. Id keep it for 6 months to a yr first. Then maybe sell it when there arent any more.

The figure screams " pose me! ". You will get it, maybe slide out the trey to have a feel of its weight, look at its goodies. Next thing you know you have assembled it, and you are making all kinds of dynamic poses with it!

Im considering getting a black one & keeping this one. I think they could make a great display to have them in battle, or standing back to back.

Theres more poses to come. But not for a while! You guys will be getting your Europe to USA (or wherever) shipments soon by the sounds of it. Ill sit back and admire thoes! And i think ive changed my mind about parting with it. Its the first figure ive got that you can pose it upside down.

Just keep it man, it's one of the best PAK figures if not the best

I bought the Red Ninja for the extra head alone. Considered selling the figure on minus the head but then when i unboxed it and posed it next to the regs version, it has stayed in the display cabinet ever since!

I used the regs version with open mask and the gun with Solid and Meryl as the 'allies'. I've posed the red Ninja with Solidus for now as up to a certain point in the game, you don't actually know that ninja is a good guy

Sounds like a cool setup. Im almost tempted to get Meryl purely because she is so cheap. But at the same time i cant afford Solid Snake and Cyborg Ninja prices so its not like i can have a display with them. So i wouldnt want to buy her for price alone. Im down for buying the MGS2 Raiden and probably Liquid Snake too. I hate having missed the boat on the earlier releases!

I am def getting the MGS2 Raiden, and I am hoping they will release a MGS2 version of Snake. I too was late to these, and just cannot justify the prices for Snake and Grey Fox.
