Is he meant to come with 2 daggers? Is his sheath meant to barely hang on? Are his 2 eye pieces often a bit wonkey when they meet?

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Yes to all. Sorry bud.

Ah, thought id got a bonus 2nd dagger! The eye thing is annoying, but its something i can fix myself. I dont fancy operating on it on day 1 though.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

The 2nd one goes in his leg.

[Kiva]

Ahhhh, thank you! Of course.

Grats Kiva, tis a fine figure, not perfect but perfectly fine.

 

[Kiva]

Yep, could be better articulated and better face painted. But i really like it. Glad i bought it

 

[Octavarium]

What's the most recomended undersuit to make Tiger Stripe Snake?

I bought Metal boss sleeves, but I'm not sure that's gonna work out.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Thats as close as youre gonna get unless you can get ahold of a rah undershirt. The only option is to tailor one.

I asked one guy on OSR to do that for me, but he wanted $60 + shipping. And the problem is that I don't even know if he really can do a perfect job.

One thing I've learnt is never, ever pose a medicom.

 

[Octavarium]

And...I'm sorry for my ignorance, but when you say "Rah" you talking about Medicom Snake? Right?

 

[Octavarium]

One thing I've learnt is never, ever pose a medicom.

Is it really that bad?

 

[Frank Jaeger]

yes RAH stands for Real Action Heroes the line of figures Medicom release there 1/6 articulated figures under

And...I'm sorry for my ignorance, but when you say "Rah" you talking about Medicom Snake? Right?

 

[Octavarium]

But an undershirt from medicom can fit on a HT body? Like...Snake's body?

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

Oh did I?

I'm trying to get Ashley Woods to sign the book as well but I can't catch him
The solid snake one was a personalized autograph for my sister who came with me.
I would have taken cyborg ninja to get signed but he wasn't sealed and I didn't knew he'd be that rare today.

@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...

While it's nice to have ppl notice it's mgs, I wouldn't recommend it for daily use. It's mostly cotton material and has plastic hinges. So anything heavy can stretch the strap or break the hinges. I'd say it can hold 2 water bottles max, I would not put a laptop in it. One of mine broke and had to replace it. My other complain is the opening flap, I wish it has a quick release instead, fastening the straps can be time consuming.

 

[Octavarium]

Just found some pics of the undershirt. Don't think it fits on HT Snake's body.

This:

Wouldn't fit here:

Right?

This one is done by Elvis1976 (if I'm not mistaken) & i'm quite sure that he's using the RAH under suit.
