Yeah, I hate it too. Even as a novelty figure, it's still a joke. And a bit of a waste. Give us Olive drab or something
 
Well, here are some pics of my MGS collection. I was thinking about a creative way of presenting everything, so I added some background pictures. Hope you enjoy.

The first picture shows my entire collection. My four RAH figures are located at the center.

well you can find all of those camo types on ebay,but they will all be kinda baggy as the Medicom figures are smaller than 12".Look at mine:



The clothes comes off easily,no worries there,just be easy on the figure when you take them off so you wont snap of anything like i managed to do with one of mine:eek:

Hey Rock, I was just wondering, did you have three Tiger Stripe figures? And why does your figure in the above pic have such a weird face? :lol

YEAAHH, this came in the mail today! The box was factory sealed, and the figure was mint-in-box before I opened it.

A side-by-side view of my Tiger Stripe and Croc Cap figure boxes (with my mom's fine china in the background). Until I get my hands on a few display cases, these two figures are staying in their boxes for the time being. I spent way too much money, and I absolutely don't want dust (and other stuff), to tarnish these beautiful mint figures!

Congrats on your haul man! I need a Tiger Stripe Snake too, BTW if you don't mind me asking how much did you score for the TS Snake? Nice collection you got there.
 
Thanks for the kind words! I bought my Tiger Stripe Snake on Ebay for $330 U.S. shipped. Pricey? Yes - but way cheaper than what I expected to pay for a mint-in-box figure. You can get the Tiger Stripe at a cheap price if you do some hunting around. But honestly, I won't recommend spending over $350 on any of the figures - those sellers are asking for way too much.
 
That is still a deal, so which one do you like better? Croc cap or TS Snake?

Well, the Tiger Stripe was the first MGS RAH figure, and it is the rarest of the three figures. From a collectors standpoint, owning a mint Tiger Stripe Snake like is the "holy grail" for any MGS collector.

Now in terms of appearance, the Croc Cap is the best looking of the three figures, in my opinion. The Croc Cap figure looks EXACTLY like Big Boss, and it is a perfect representation of his character.

In terms of a collectible investment, go with the Tiger Stripe. But, if you're looking for the best representation of Big Boss (and the best looking MGS figure) go with the Croc Cap figure.
 
Snake has acquired the Storm Trooper camo. Time for him to infiltrate the Death Star, and prevent Metal Gear Vader from launching! :lol

Great pics man! Do you intend on painting the white parts of the suit?
