My REX arrived from 3A after my girl missed the delivery yesterday. They used the box I mailed it in, but they packed the **** out of it. She said it smells weird which could mean they painted the scuff (which was small) or they gave me a brand new one (which I hope) She also said it looks darker, but can't really see anything but the backpack. I won't know for a few more hours it's true condition, I hope they fixed the jaw correctly.

If there is still problems with it, I'll flex it through SSC along with RAY later.
 
Screw the pak bases, hate to wreck the boxes to use a sub par stand. Id rather use the hot toys ones and reskin them. They look much nicer that way. Evilface has nice decals.
It's pretty annoying and they're below sub par honestly. I've lost at least two of those stands due to them breaking on assembly, and they're so hard to fix. You can barely do anything with the stands too. I mean with the standard Hot Toys stands, you can do stuff like flight poses, which helps a lot. PAK stands are FAR too brittle to let you do anything like that.

Plus some of those backgrounds are really nice like the MGR and MGS1 ones...I honestly hate when they pack stuff to the back of backgrounds, especially when it was for stuff like an alternate cape piece for Arkham Asylum Batman and increase the box size.
 
Kids, don't sniff paint.

Pro tip: When assembling your own Kotobukiya RAY, remember to have some dried fruit (or whatever the heck Yoji Shinkawa seems to be snaking on the right) to get your creative juices flowing!

Well 3A customer service sucks. They gave me back REX, and they didn't correct the jaw issue. It just seems like they fixed only what was broken from shipping and sent it back. They also sent it back without the Radome antenna. You would think that most of their customers are English speaking that they would have an actual CS agent that can read and speak it instead of having a broken knowledge of it.

That sucks Plis. What do you intend to do next?
 
I decided to sell the Legacy collection and got me thinking, they should release a real legacy collection. One that has 1234, PW, the twin Snakes, the document of MSG, portable ops and +, the DGNs, data base and the saga DVDs all on Blu-ray Discs

Might as well add MGA1/2 and Ghost Babel while they're at it. But such things will never happen. The Twin Snakes is a joint venture Nintendo production and porting a game to HD isn't as easy or cheap as one might think. Konami has to really cherry pick the games that are proven to sell.
 
Twin Snakes sold poorly if I recall correctly, and isn't that well loved. I feel honestly a better remake would work, possibly with the later mechanics of MGS3, 4 and PW. It'd be cool if we could play with MGS2 mechanics and later games as well.
