And no eyebrows

I think they were just drawn with a highlighter. How do they manage to get more expensive and less cool?

Who knows, the peak of quality of this line has long since passed. The new Big Boss looks more like Charles Bronson instead of BB

Their paint apps ****ing suck, it cannot be said enough.

Seeing that most of you haven't got yours, here's mine for comparison

Are those dog tags or silver dominoes?

Definitely dominoes, switching the tags with the Hottoys ones was a must for me.

Looks better due to the lighting, but it's still the same ugly paint app. They should be embarrassed.

Maybe the lip was inspired by Stephen King.

No worries guys! I know he is fugly! You one looks better bust still not great! Raiden's paint app looks good but 2 things with him

1. Neck is too long and
2. What's up with his hair...

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Raiden was going through a midlife crisis

 

[CryptDemon]

Liquid has no nipples. His ****s are a bit saggy too.

 

[zelu1984]

actually yeah, it was strange to see no nipps on Liquid

I found this PAK Liquid Snake Review


The paint apps doesn't look as bad with the proper lighting.

Maybe just a little "Guido" skin tone.. but nothing terrible




Edit: And a MGS2 Raiden Review from the same user:

It's shockingly bad

Happy new year guys!
Ended up jumping on the 3AA Ray (like I could miss that).
WellCQC have you tried holding cell batteries together by putting a bit of heat shrink over the top?
The ends come in and it holds them tightly together in a cylinder shape.

Very cool work, if I could be arsed i'd try it as I do a lot of electronics.

great idea and thank you much!!! never thought of that. i just stick a strip of tape to the side of 2 stacked batteries and lower them in, shut the cover while pulling the tape out. very quick and easy that way. btw, aside from the compliment i dont really understand the last sentence.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

that liquid looks really bad, if mine is that bad guess whos saving up for an airbrush/compressor? ive been meaning to get one so i can do some fix-em-ups and some other cool stuff down the road. itd be nice to do meryl and liquids colors over. i think overall even in the promo shots liquids coat is way too light. its the first thing id like to fix, its like the whole figure has the same bland contrast. the coat is very pale which makes his skin look even more horrible. if i would want to fix anything itd be that damn coat and a repaint on his face. i dont think the body is that bad really. (aside from the missing nipz.

I think the sculpt of most of the MGS Play Arts is pretty good! It the bloody paints that are shiiiteee ! It is not only MGS figures is it Play Arts in general, I would even say that MGS figures are better than other PAKs

Edit: If I decide to re sculpt Raiden's hair can someone post some good reference of his hair for me please?

[Von Koz]

[zelu1984]

[ZombieRepublican]

Well at least liquids non-lip is consistent with Solid.... Blech

Anyhoo, got a delivery today!

[Snake Plissken]
