Then you add to cart and checkout like any other online store and pay with PayPal.
(also be prepared to hit "refresh" for a while if the server is swamped)

Cool, thanks man! Missed out ordering Rex from them and got it from Sideshow, but shipping was $100, so I want to avoid that this time by ordering direct from Bambaland (do not care for the exclusive figure).

One of the top things on my list to make, a stand for Rex.

Took me about 3 days to get him to sit on a the glass table or bar top without doing a split while I was away.

I know this has probably been gone over with Rex before...
...any tips on how you get the laser rifle off without feeling like you are going to break it?

Hold the mount tightly so not to hurt the hinge and peel the gun front to back or back to front.

I cut rubber pads that fit perfectly into the shapes in the foot then glued them in. No more ouchies. I have him free standing on top of my row of detolfs. Never once has he moved and hes been there hot and cold weather.

 

[Super King]

Hey if your having trouble getting Rex to stand make sure that you have the hips in the right position, he's boxed with them around the wrong way.
In WellCQCaboutthats picture they need to spin quarter of a turn.

Ray will come partially painted ?

Somehow I like this brownish color scheme

Look like it will come molded in the MGS 4 clolurs.

And from Kojima
“Adjusting the coloring of RAY plastic model releasing from KOTOBUKIYA. Looking neat.”
“This is THE Plastic Model.”

And translating from kotobukiya's site
● mini figure will be "non-painting" in the actual product.
● molded color is molded in color of the "manned aircraft" alignment.

[Solidus]

This sounds AMAZING! I hope Koto can redo their REX kit with molded colors, too.

 

[Henry Morgan*]

I really wish koto would just send these repainted. They're so nice looking. I would like this version and one painted like the Desperado ray

So thats the Kotobukiya Ray then? nice, I'll get that one and their Rex too

That sounds great, its a no brainer

 

[RIDDICK]

There's "oral" and "head" in one sentence... I will never look at MG Ray the same way after that.

 

[bangkok_wolf]

The color is great, but for me it's not what I'm use to seeing.

From mgs2 (can't find any from mgs4, everything was too dark)

From rising (I think)

 

[Solidus]

ThreeA seems obsessed with green for some reason . Here's a pic of RAY in MGS 4. It looks more like a dark gray that's been washed out by some green filter effect that was present throughout the entire scene.

I was looking at the cutscene on act5, I am still not sure what color they were (the drone ones)

 

[PermaG]

How else do you go about ordering this, when the time comes, other than that bamba site mentioned?
Think I recall seeing something about Sideshow, do they plan to carry it?
I bought my Rex later on from BBTS.

 

[Solidus]

Well, there are two versions of RAY. ThreeA will have an exclusive version for sale on their online store on Dec 24th. It'll come with a pilot figure (most likely Ocelot) and a slightly different box.

Online stores will get RAY too, but at a later date. They'll have the regular version of RAY without the pilot figure and different box.

I bought the retail version of REX last year from Sideshow. BBTS and other stores should be getting RAY, too.

Metal Gear sold 35.7 million bottles?? Man, no wonder some of us are so high.

 

[Solidus]

I do feel drunk sometimes whenever I play a MGS game. But, it's usually from drinking actual alcohol.

I played MGS3 high once, it was incredible!
The game turned into reality, was pretty intense XD

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

I play every game high. Its the ONLY way to play imo.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I play every game high. Its the ONLY way to play imo.

That would make Peace Walker palatable at least.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

I disagree, that's the best way to get high.

[Jameson Rook]

Wheee! I just finished my custom MGR base for the PAK Raiden, took me awhile to find a base that kinda fits with the game's aesthetics.
