Metal Gear Solid Collectibles

Been keeping the Socom around for a while. I really want to try it with the Hot Toys version though, so its like the new Raiden paying Homage to MGS2

 

[Solidus]

Is that the 1/6 Socom pistol from Dragon? I think that's the one I have on my Enterbay Jack Bauer figure.

Just noticed that one of the covers to the cooling fins was neglected to be included when 3A sent REX back to me. They'll probably accuse me of lying once again. If you're going to do a service for that for customers, have the decency to be thorough with making sure everything is with it.

That really sucks, man . Their customer service sounds incompetent.

 

[Kiva]

Im not sure, it came with a loose bundle of stuff, i kept it around because of how close it looks

 

[Snake Plissken]

That sucks. I would have stripped it and sent the main figure to them. Theres way too many extra parts to account for. Id be paranoid something will be lost.

I did strip it, but one of the vent covers I didn't realize could come off and when they sent it back they didn't include it.

This really contradicts with all the exceptional-service 3A provide from what we have heard. To the extent of calling a client a liar is outrageous. Not sure how would a hand written letter would help (as to me and from experience, emails are pretty formal and could be use in court), but changing the tone and write how they had handled the matter poorly is not acceptable and will be informed to the general public (collectors' communities) should the case be handled with the same mindset might help.

Mine isn't perfect as well (the left and right legs don't allign from the joints seeming to be dispositioned causing the angle to differ) but I can live with it, but with the price tag they should have been close to perfection.

Great looking socom Kiva. Definitely too big for PAK but still great for display. This somehow reminds me of how I found one of the first weapon set sold be Hot Toys under scale and fits perfectly with PAK PW BB.

I just think they will call me a liar again since it's about a month since they sent me the Radome antenna and they will think I'm trying to get free stuff. I'm only noticing now that the vent cover is missing. Everything I was able to remove from it before I sent it I did.

Size comparison with the Yamato Snake. Yikes.

 

[Solidus]

Is that supposed to be Snake or Golgo 13 with a bandana?

The size is very tiny, indeed.

Yeah, just a PSA on the ridiculous size. Unless you have a specific use or display ideas for the figure in mind, I doubt it's worth the hype in what is essentially is a Happy Meal toy. Great price though.

Heck, why don't McDonalds tease their toys months before release with silhouettes and adverts just like these companies do nowadays? It will prepare kids to become future SSF members.

Wow that is a lot smaller than I had thought it would be

I really hope that face isn't the final production version, it's hideous. And this scale serves no purpose whatsoever.

 

[Solidus]

It's fairy Snake. You can hook him up on a string and have him float around your 1/6 collectibles like a badass Tinkerbell.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I can only imagine how bad Jay Leno chinned Gray Fox will be.

Sample of customer reviews.

Actually Jay Leno as a cyborg ninja does sounds kinda cool! Letterman can be the bearded evil wizard and Conan can.. just be himself.

Ehhh not quite. I've seen enough people who've been dying to have a GI JOE-sized Snake or just a small-ish Snake for years now. So I guess even with the size complaints here, I'd say there's a legitimate market for it...

The complaints here are that the scale is too small to put next to any of the 6 inch MGS figures. I've never once, seen someone on here want a GI JOE sized Snake.
