Nah, same reason with me too. I tend to not support bootlegs if I can. Imagine if Shinkawa or Kojima had their bus break down and crashed at your place on day and they saw those bootlegs, think they'll stay for burgers then?

That'll be a dream come true! (if they crashed at my place, that is)

I was really surprised that no one carried any bootleg figures for Kojima to sign last year at Uniqlo. I thought that there would be at least one person to try and pull a stunt like that. But, I guess that the fan base is too smart for that.

i got mine from lookout toy store on ebay. there is a seller in america though listing him for $200 without a preorder date on it. i asked him when his shipment is coming and this is what he told me. im only using that as a projection on when usa stocks are starting to be filled.

It just hit me, why don't we get this as an alternate head to the Medicom Raiden? It's cheap after all!

That looks awesome.

ive seen that for a long time now. the problem is that the medicom body wouldnt match it. youd have to redo the whole paint and add the spikes and what not. its a good idea if you can customize well.

Wasn't Raiden using his MGS4 suit minus the helmet before he got the new body? I think even with the eyepatch he'll look at least similar to that. I think I might get the head someday, I'd love to paint it!

On a side note, my Sniper Wolf repaint cracked TWICE now. I spoke with a veteran painter here and he gave me some tips that I'll try tomorrow. I think my mistake was not using primer and I let the paint dry too quick. Back to square one with her.

That's a good review!

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

when he was in the mgs4 suit he still had the shield/visor setup. it wasnt til he got his face sliced and his arm cut off that that headsculpt would come into play. with the mgs4 raiden skin he has the old setup again. so no, it wouldnt work, ever. im sorry to hear about your paint job. hope the tips help you out. not sure why this happened to that sculpt and not the others you did.

im kinda pissed off at this. GTFO Kojima!!!

Two special edition figurines of Dwarf Gekko were released to various members of the development staff to commemorate the game's release. They were given the colors yellow for Kojima Productions, and silver for Platinum Games. They would later be issued for sale. <<<<<found this on metal gear wiki.

Play Arts better make the next MGS a must have. MGS2 Raiden is the only one ive wanted since Snake and Grey Fox

Legacy Collection is all over the KonamiStyle store.

Theres pictures of the MGS2 Snake render, why havent we seen it yet? that bugs me!

Also what the heck no Legacy collection for Europe/UK? that sucks

We'd better get some cool extras or a badass version when it does land!

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

freechris01 on ebay has the complete 20th udf line including all 3 variants and even a bonus crouching old snake from the series 2 line starting at a dollar. they look authentic. also the 3rd variant is that almost impossible to find mgs2 snake uk ex. they are loose though but they look complete. just thought id bring it up. youre welcome

That is tiny!

 

[Snake Plissken]

No kidding.

Glad they do that with the Limited Edition HD Collection. Anything to cut corners nowadays eh Konami?

The Japan Expo has started, PAK liquid & raiden still have not been painted.
Not sure did they change the sculpt (too dark) but from the angle he doesn't seem to be smiling.

Ps. PAK assassin creed 3 & 4 both have 2 head-sculpts (hooded and unhooded)

Edit: a clearer pic

More of other PAKs @ https://www.toyzmag.com/2013/07/japan-expo-comic-con-paris-square-enix-devoile-ses-prototypes-play-arts-kai/

Did I imagine seeing the Liquid PAK painted?
