Metal Gear Solid Collectibles

I dont think that custom hs looks any different than the pak gzbb one sorry man. Nice work though.

 

[Jack D]

What do you guys think about this as a custom?

That looks quite good, can you give us more details on it? Best MGS2 Snake custom I've seen.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I'm interested in how the knee and elbow sleeves and pouches look

 

[Snake Plissken]

I think it looks pretty good, just the body suit needs to be blue/gray.

Whelp, I've been thinking about it a long while and I've decided to drop collecting this line =( The combination of nothing new on the horizon peaking my interest AND the fact that the older stuff is commanding way too high of prices on eBay means that it's just a good time to get out imo.

I've got:
Solid Snake
Ninja (Gold version)
Meryl
Solidus
Revengeance Raiden

So, how should get rid of them? eBay and Paypal would get me the most exposure, but they'll charge me around 15% of my final sales in fees. And I don't want people to just cherry pick my collection and leave me stuck with Meryl, so I'm gonna sell in bundles. But then who should I bundle with whom? Solid Snake is the highest value, and Meryl is the lowest, so I'm thinking about bundling them together. Ninja is the second highest, so should I bundle him with Revengeance Raiden or Solidus? Should I bundle all three together, or does Solidus hold enough interest to sell at least for his retail cost on his own? All in all I'm hoping to see maybe around $600-$700 (Snake at $300, Ninja at $200, Meryl at $50, Solidus at $80, and Raiden at $70(?)). Does that seem about right?

Good luck with those prices for snake and ninja. Hopefully people will pay those prices. Id give half that at most. Theyre just not worth that price. The others, sounds great. I can find solidus new for $70 shipped, meryl $55 shipped, and raiden $70 shipped.

To be honest you are more likely going to see $250 for Snake $200 for Ninja $60-80 for Solidus, and about $60 for Raiden. You could bundle them but I doubt anyone would really be all that interested. I would sell them separately and use the extra made on Ninja and Solid to recoup the loss on the others. If you make a decent profit on the others just put Meryl up for like $30 and I bet she would see pretty quick.

 

[IdeaOfEvil]

Looking at recent eBay auctions, a lot of Solid Snakes being sold for high $200's are opened. Going far back to the last sealed MOC, Snake went for around $330, so I'm even undercutting myself there. Ninja is around $200, so I'm not putting him on a huge pedistool of cash gain. But I'd hate to recoup the loss of one figures price by overselling Snake/Ninja. I'm kinda doing that with Meryl already at $50, which is why I think bundling her with Snake will kill two birds with one stone so I won't be stuck trying to get rid of her for around $30 on her own. I guess my biggest issue is just selling them on eBay. I really hate the idea of paying $105 in fees alone (if I get around $700 for everything), so maybe I'm just dreaming of higher prices than I should be

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Ill give you $56 for ninja and $56 for snake. Swutai paid.

Your words make baby Jesus cry =_(

 

[FSLAR]

I'll buy Ninja for $130 how about that lol. A guy on here sold me his Solid Snake for $140 sealed anyway.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

You obviously want people to give you as much money as you can get outta them, so i wouldn't suggest selling here

Ebay is your best route to go

 

[Snake Plissken]

It's ridiculous the prices Snake and Fox go for, definitely the highest PAK to date on the secondary market.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

I still cant believe it. They released for $50 for gods sake, but then again they're the coolest in MGS history imo! I wish i had bought tons to scalp lolz.
Square Enix know the huge demand for this. I recall a video where a representative said they were aware of it and that its apart of policy to never reissue figures. They're all one-offs unless its a repaint. Alternatively they could just remake both figures like they've done with BigBoss!

heres a link to that interview:

at least KojimaPro know this surely. With Revoltech making MGS1 Snake now, so heres hoping for more SolidSnake goodness!

 

[FSLAR]

Wait where is Revoltech making MGS1 Snake? Where did you see that? I know the Nendoriods are making him

 

[Snake Plissken]

There was a silhouette teaser a few pages back of Snake.

 

[CryptDemon]

That hot toys raiden is up for pre order on BBTS. It's $300. $80 PAK raidens don't seem so bad now.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah it's overpriced, shouldn't be any higher than $275 tops. I ordered it regardless.

 

[CryptDemon]

I don't think i'm going to bother with it. I have enough cyborg raidens as it is. I would like a Metal Gear figure that isn't Big Boss or Raiden.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I'm getting it but it is way too expensive

If they release a white version and it looks better than this, I'll sell it and get the white instead. I only want 1 Raiden
