From what I've seen they took the BDU off the Tiger Stripe and put it on a Hot Toys body, with the equipment of the Hot Toys Sneaking Suit and used the Metal Boss hands. The boots can be picked up off a military figure so they are all over eBay.

Why did you sell those I thought you wanted more? I'm confused.

Hi there everyone!
My first post here.

I started my tiger stripe snake last week, I mean, I bought lots of things for that last week. But I have a few questions, since I can see you guys have way more experience than I.

I bought a tiger stripe bdu but I'm not sure it's accurate. Where can I find one that's the most accurate?

I'll use HT snake's body and Metal Boss hands, will it fit? What about the boots? will metal boss boots fit on HT body?

I have medicom hands, do they fit on a HT body?

Is it really that hard to find the first set of hands of metal boss snake?

I think that's it for the moment.

1. It's pretty amazing you got your hands on a tiger stripe BDU. just put it on and see if you like it.
2. not sure about the hands (but I have seen people using them) + you could use platoon shoes, they are quite easy to find.
3. medicom hands (glove) don't use the same pegs type as HT and the skin color is almost powder white.
4. only 1 pair (salute) of metal boss hand can be found on ebay now, so I think it might be hard to find.

Also, don't buy the rubber ones get the leather ones. Very expensive but they're totally worth it. The cool part is they have feet built-in so they only need a peg. Additionally they are more stable for the figure, you can get better poses. The rubber ones look kinda stupid and restrict the ankles big time.

Thanks Bangkok!
Well, when the tiger stripe BDU arrives I'll show it to you guys.
Actually Platoon boots are not easy to find anymore, just can't find them ATM.
Well, so I'll have to put my medicom hands in the garbage.
I already bought the second set of metal boss hands and another one from the first set, so I'm missing just one hand.

Yeah, I already bought Metal boss boots too. They're not made of rubber.
I want my figure to be really good for poses.

Why did you sell those I thought you wanted more? I'm confused.

A sudden change of priorities, stemming from the new HT Scar Predator being something i cant say no to!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes!

What kept you from registering? Welcome to the boards!

Well I first registered so I can view photos on the forum. I just haven't said anything til now.

That's a mighty impressive collection, it deserves to be proudly displayed on your shelves.

I wish I can! but I like to keep things mint sealed in their boxes
and I don't have room to display them. My shelf is tiny and I bump into it all the time. I only display the loose or duplicate figures.

Are all the peacewalker figures that are sideways all original figures or are there variants? Its cool when chicks collect stuff. Id be happy to find a gf whos into something like this. Girls usually dont care for it much.

The PW figs are just the regular versions, they were my first mgs figs and has exploded since. ^^ me and my sis are big fans.

:You got a great collection, far better than mine in everyway possible. (no 3A Rex?)

I have bambaland rex, it's sitting in the basement, I have no room for it and I'm gonna get Ray. (if it ever comes out!)

Yea when I saw that I thought it was cool but too expensive, and it doesn't look like it’s the correct length, it looks to short

Hey dudes,
I've been stalking this forum for a long while, and I mean a looooooong while. I decided to confess since some peeps mention that there are no girls here or mgs fans here. Whelp, here's one.

This is my first time posting on the forums. I'd like to share my love of mgs collecting with you guys. My collection is pretty massive and I would to show you them but don't know how to post pictures here yet. So yea.Nice to meet you all and to comment finally.

Hey, welcome to SSF! I see you're from NY, too. Did you manage to get anything signed from Kojima?

 

[BigBoss9293]

@Takesu, welcome to the board! I was in the same boat, stalking this board till I made an account. Awesome collection!! Is the FoxHound Messenger bag any good? I was thinking on getting it (daily use) but seen no reviews anywhere...
