Crazy i didn't know that! where'd you unearth these gems of info

Naomi explains it in MGS4 on the Nomad.

Yeah and his head can't really move around in the collar like he can in the game. It just needs to be slightly bigger and higher.

I just love that Solidus has the exact same face as Solid.

Anyway, as good as the PAK is, the Mcfarlane one isn't without it's charm.

Me too. I miss the grizzled look Snake had in MGS2. Kojima's rationale was to make Solidus look like a middle aged Solid. I still love their confrontation on the connecting bridge to Shell 2.

[Solidus]

Solid and Liquid have their mother's looks as well and aren't directly copied from Big Boss. They have the Japanese genes of Para-medic's assistant and Big Boss.

Solidus somehow is a direct clone of Big Boss and his rate of aging was much faster than Solid and Liquid since he was already a grown man in the 80's in Liberia when he trained Raiden.

It's odd that Solidus's origins are never explained further than that. It would make for an interesting story some time in the future. I hope Kojima touches on it.

Not at all it was one of the best mcfarlene did!

I prefer much prefer the body proportions PAK are all way too beefcake

I figured I'd show a figure that gets no love on this forum.

Yeah, Naomi didn't give any insight to that really. It's all here-say for Solidus's origins. But we do know, he's the youngest but physical has aged the oldest

Makes sense, i haven't played MGS4 through for a LONG time. I think i've only ever completed it twice

I like all these sculpts, if the paint app was better they'd be really good. The Snake, Plisskin and Raiden ones especially

Nah, I love em! Too bad I was stupid enough to sell them years back.

Here's something I made just now for all of you. Now Hot Toys/Square Enix, can you pleeeeease use this pic for reference?

I mean, we still don't know how he was created as a perfect clone. Big Mamma told Solid Snake in MGS 4 that even clones need to be born from a mother's womb (or something along that manner). That's where my confusion lies. Somehow, Solidus ended up being the exception to that rule.

Well according to some people Hot Toys wouldn't be able to use this as reference because of the graphics... that's just so stupid I don't even know how to respond to that statement anymore.

I hate they retconned this look

Well I wouldn't say he was an exception, maybe there is a mother? I can't see him being grown in a vat like a monster. Maybe GZ/TPP will elaborate on Les Enfants Terribles.

Also Jason, I'm gonna re-buy those Yamato figures and display them just like this, the acrylic case really adds towards the look for me:

Those two series of figures will always be something I want to get but I just don't have cash or room to get them

Yeah, that's some of the dumbest statements I've heard yet. A Japanese member here PMed me some months ago, asking me to email him my pics. He's going to sculpt a 1/6 head based on this. I hope he does it!

How much are they worth in the States? These have bootlegs too, in case anyone here doesn't know.

Not sure if we're talking about the same guy, but someone PMd me a couple months back and sent me a bunch of pics he got from you for me to have it sculpted...I wonder if it's the same guy I forget his username.

Hopefully. Imagine if he was birthed from an artificial womb - perhaps even a Metal Gear AI .

I'd jump on that in a second!

Eh, I haven't looked in eBay in a while. But they would sell maybe one series for over 100$. I've never seen both series in the same listing before.
