Metal Gear Solid Collectibles

Not too bad. That's probably the cheapest we'll ever see it.

I know it's small, but that Revoltech Raiden at BBTS looks nice. Very poseable.
Is there a significance to the watermelon?

The watermelon was a tech demo used to represent how dynamic the cutting mechanics are way back in 2009. The game then went into development hell until Platinum Games took over and re-made the game from scratch. The watermelon is still in the game, as an in-joke to and probably to remind the fans the 4 years it took for the game to come out.

You don't play games, Barry? Metal Gear Rising is great for a non-MG fan. It's loud, dumb and exciting and quickly became some of my favorite games ever made.

Only on occasion.
I have an XBOX 360. But i only ever buy Halo games or SW games.
I've never really branched out into anything else. Not for any particular reason. I just never seem to have time. I only turn my xbox on about three times a year, and generally play each Halo game till completion, then switch off again, lol.

That ht boss for $60 is ending in just over 7 hours. Someone should snipe it.

BTW Barry, the revo raiden is awesome. I have the black one and it can do any pose you want. The pak one is pretty flexible but this one blows it away in articulation.

It's just luck of the draw these days. You either get a well painted one, or you don't

I bet it is.
if only it were 1/6, it would be perfect.

I was tempted to bid on that boss.
But the shipping and import charges seem steep.
I'd normally buy this kind of thing and ship it to a friend of mine and he'd forward it marked with a low value.
But I have likely left it too late for that kind of thing.
It'll be a bargain for someone. Although most buyers can't wait to snipe and bid very early. Those fools.

I might snipe it....but I'll need to find Big Boss honestly or she'll feel lonely. Someone help?

If someone else is bidding, i'll not bother. I'll leave you to it!
I added magnets onto the legs of my custom figure at work today so her SMG can attach to her thigh without too much fuss. I am going to do the same with a pistol on her right thigh at some point.

You got the blue highlight pretty close to the rest of the body scheme.

Actually Bar I changed my mind, mostly since the more I look at The Boss the more she turns me off also cause I may have another Hot Toys to buy this month and I've bought quite a bit already

I'm not a fanboy but I'm sure anyone can tell you that she's better in hand. Do what you wish though its your dough.

It's technically a bit of a cheat.
I got a Tamiya Weathering master set, the one with the "burnt blue/Burnt Orange" colours, and relined ALL the blue panels with the weathering colour, including the cheb armour. As they all have the same weathering colour, they all look the same.
I might have struggled otherwise, lol.

It was this colour:

I might have bitten on it, but TOYHQ here in the UK listed the Star Spangled Man Cap for 1/2 the normal retail price just over an hour ago...
I have never wanted it till tonight.
So i hit the *Add To Cart* on that instead.

No such thing as a cheat, as long as it gets the job done

I have a few of those weathering kits lying around, and it seemed the perfect thing.

I was using Tamiya sand paper to rub off the cut nubs on my Gundam kits, they're really good at making them melt away without ruining the plastic finish.

I use large sheets of auto finishing sandpaper, cut into small squares, and stored by the grades, from roughest to smoothest.
