Metal Gear Solid Collectibles

[Solidus]

Thanks Solidus, I just kept futzing with him till I got something I liked. I did use the some of the game art as reference for the pose though!

Haha thanks bangkok! Like I said earlier I have a "complicated" relationship with MGS, it could be such an amazing series again if Kojima would just tone down some of the stupid crap he loves to put into it.

That sounds great. I know that the Tiger Stripe figure suffered from weak joints (the first release, anyway). So, it's pretty remarkable that you got it into that pose.

In any case, you speak my language, man . A lot of on SSF have gotten pretty frustrated with Kojima's take on MGS over the last several years. Good to have you on the forum - looking forward to some great discussion .

 

[Jameson Rook]

Yup, great MGS collection, Von Koz!

How did you manage to get your RAH Tiger Stripe Snake in such a neat pose? It looks it was taken right out from the art work.

Ray did that pose in one of his reviews, rest in peace buddy.

 

[Solidus]

Yeah, I'll have to message him on the PSN and ask what's up. He's hardly around on the forum anymore. I'm not even sure if he's still collecting MGS figures. I do miss his review videos a lot.

Epic, man. Epic.

He's still on PSN?

 

[Solidus]

Yes, he is on my epic friend list as well as the PSN. Simply epic. Collectors unite!

I really wanna see someone repainting Tiger Stripe Snake. For the longest time I wanted one myself, I but can't seem to find a good deal locally.

Still, nothing compared to how much he was in 2005 though.

 

[Jameson Rook]

The Revoltech Cyborg Ninja. Not my cup of tea, but at least it's not another Big Boss.

 

[krec9]

Grey fox looks awesome.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Fox looks pretty neat there, just wish him and Snake were in scale with other Revos...

Seems like some people really cant stand seeing another BB figure. Don't worry Ryan, there'll be plenty more to come

That pic looks so much like an anime fight scene !

This reminds me, my MGS collection probably needs an update sometime....cause since Solidus I haven't really added to it I still need MGS 2 Raiden, MGR: R (actual game cause I've had other games to buy), Meryl, Miller and maybe some of the Big Boss variants...maybe Hot Toys too. I'm kind of anti-Revoltech on account of, frankly, I consider them to be the Hasbro of Japan toys. MGS being the exception.

 

[bangkok_wolf]

Took closeup shots of my GZ BB 2 head sculpts for anyone who might still be on the fence to get it.
I'm bothered by the beard, the rest I can live with.



The one I got has no other problem. But we are talking about PAKs so... Good luck people.

 

[Henry Morgan*]

Why so small?

you could accidentally shallow that thing and you won't notice

 

[FSLAR]

Because Revoltech is weird, Henry. They're trying out their Revomini new line and they do this for Solid Snake and his old friend Fox of course. And Fox's head looks pretty small for his body.

 

[CAIN MKII]

I will definetly buy a revo grey fox.

That figure takes me back. It was my first RAH Big Boss figure, and the only 1/6 figure that I ever sold from my collection. I'm still shocked at the loss I made from the re-sale . Stupid Medicom and their re-releases, I tell ya.

Solid Snake's like this forgotten relic in MGS. Big Boss isn't even as popular as Snake, so it's baffling why Konami/Kojima are so hard-pressed on releasing figure after figure of him alone.

Those mini-Revo figures don't look too bad, though. I might pick them up eventually.

You say that without a GIF? Shame on you!

I was studying for my Diploma in 2005 and really, really had to save up for a Medicom Snake, I had to choose between the Tiger Stripe and the Croc Cap, but I choose the Croc Cap instead, because of the eyepatch which at the time for me, defined him as Big Boss and I figured they'll never make an eyepatched Snake again.

I rode my bike with the brand new figure on my lap, and when suddenly there was heavy rain. I took off my jacket and protected the box at all cost, even stopping by a bus stand to wait till the rain stops. To this day it's still one of the most expensive figures I've gotten and the one I physically had to crawl trough a river of sh$% to get.

It's a shame when people put down the Medi figures in favor for the HT Naked Snake. Sure, we all got tired of Medi's QC and plasticy faces, but overall they are the superior MGS figures.

Henry's slipping clearly. I blame Alison Brie. And Solidus not slapping him to get his **** together

Wow really? That's amazing. I applaud you for the work you did to earn this. I would award you a codename if I could - Croc Pliskin would be it
