Metal Gear Solid Collectibles

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah I'm in for anything Solid related, which to be fair is only 2 figures

If i enjoy MGSV I'll most definitely pick up BB and maybe other supporting characters if they don't look too turd

I'm more interested in the previous games figures though to be honest, there's still so much more than can be done with MGS1, 2 and not forgetting 3 which hasn't seen anything yet

Yeah there is so much soul and nostalgia with the older characters and their designs. I'd really want a Psycho Mantis or even a Vulcan Raven or Sniper Wolf.

which is the most frustrating thing about the PAK MGS line.

They made great, ACCURATE hs' for the PW line, probably the weakest game in the series so we know they can and have done in the past

But they refuse to do anything remotely accurate - even for the newest installments that aren't even out yet!

Maybe because they sell like hot cakes regardless? I don't know. Besides, it's a well known fact that Koji has a thing for revamping aesthetics for no logical reason whatsoever.

Gimme the entire FOXHOUND, Dead Cell, Otacon, Campbell and Mei Ling I'd be happy. Especially FOXHOUND.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

You forgot mgs4 solid totalling 3.

I hope for the whole mgs1 roster. If they make them all i will fix them all. Then i could sell everything else because i dont need them anymore at that point.

Naomi, Mei Ling, Sniper Wolf and Snake "photo-shoot."

I might be done with recent PAK releases but older ones, I will still buy if I can find them like the Arkham City line and alebit near impossible for a reasonable price, the MGS1 figures. I'm fine with Connor and Edward Kenway from Assassin's Creed, mostly due to sideshow deals and generally looking great, but that GZ Boss is no. If the metallic goes for that much, maybe I can try and justify it. And as everyone pointed out, indeed PAK has done great head sculpts for MGS, so it really is weird that is so much lower in quality.

I still regret my Man of Steel Superman Black...I wish I bought PAK The Dark Knight Joker instead. Worst decision with a figure I've ever made. I'm not even sure if I can sell him...

Seems official that the PAK ship here is sinking

... wait that would cost like $400 at the very least (think of the size of Vulcan Raven and how plain Decoy Octopus would be)

Mei Ling would be great as a statue, a new line for mgs girls .

 

[CryptDemon]

I still have my PAK wish list:

Vulcan Raven
Ocelot
Psycho Mantis
B&B Unit
MGS2 Snake
Plissken
MGS2 Ninja
MGS1 Genome Soliders (all of them)
MGS2 Tengus and Gurlukovich Soldiers
The End
The Fury
Shagohod

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I agree with the above with the addition of Sniper Wolf, Otacon, possibly Mai ling and Campbell but by that time they will cost too much

I'd omit a few of those too

I personally wouldn't buy any of the mech other than Rex and Ray by PAK

Beat me to it. I'd definitely want some high end figures of them at that scale. Beats overpriced 3A.

B&B Unit
MGS2 Snake
Plissken

MGS1 Genome Soliders (all of them)

The End
The Fury
Shagohod

Mine are those plus Olga (the Big Shell version), Fortune, Wolf, Volgin, Naked Snake and The Boss

I personally wouldn't buy any of the mech other than Rex and Ray by PAK

same here, but if they make the Shagohod that would be a no brainer for me, I'll get the kotobukiya version of both

 

[Science Friction]

One thing I've been thinking about doing, is making custom 1:18 scale MGS figures. It wouldn't be hard to cast and shrink the PAK sculpts, for personal use of course, then using various G.I. Joe and Marvel Universe figures to make the full cast. It would require some outfit sculpting work, but I think overall there are a lot of parts in that scale that lend themselves to MGS. Plus it would be easier to make a properly scaled Raven that way. Sure would be a lot easier and cheaper than trying to make 1:6 scale customs, or PAK scaled customs for the other characters.

 

[PermaG]

Unless I missed it mentioned earlier...

Was reading my emails...one from BBTS...and I see...

"METAL GEAR REX
A reissue has been confirmed for this much sought after figure. Don't miss out on this incredibly detailed figure from ThreeA. It is listed at $489.99."

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=THR10048&mode=retail

Thoughts?

Wish I would have known. I bought 2...from BBTS, not but maybe 4-5 months ago. Both for 650 each.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I posted that up earlier. I wonder why they're getting another batch?

 

[krec9]

Is Rex available thru sideshow?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Sold out.

 

[Frostlord]

Reissue? what do they mean by that? id they change anything on the figure?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Probably just unsold stock that they got their hands on somehow.

Thats a relief, for a second there I thought I had to buy a new Rex just coz they might have changed something on it

Looks like BigBoss is gonna have a rubber chest:

I'm not pre-ordering anymore PAK, especially through amiami or whatever the damn name is.
Got stung £30 customs tax for Liquid and Raiden.
Mostly had a meh taste in my mouth when putting them together.

I know! I think i may just do eBay in future.

Yeah, I gave it some thought and i am done. $100 is too much for thes. MGS2 and 4 Snake will be the only others they might get me with.

You Damn skippy!
Well, except if they make Mantis, or more MGS2 cast. Or any soldiers aka Tengu/Gerlukovich/Genome

Oh don't worry, it's the same exact version that was sold by retailers when REX originally went on sale.

Ugh. Probably will be just as bad as the rubber crotches and belts...
