I use onemap too. I got these 2 weeks ago on mercari. They are still in the warehouse for now waiting to be shipped "

This is from metal gear wiki
"Two special edition figurines of Dwarf Gekko were released to various members of the development staff to commemorate the game's release. They were given the colors yellow for Kojima Productions, and silver for Platinum Games. They would later be issued for sale."

I don't think they where ever for sale in that colour?

Those are gorgeous.

I guess I'll be on the lookout for those now.

Exact same one with the yellowing and hole in game was offered on Yahoo auction for around 300 buy it now. On eBay 99% of Japanese sellers are resellers. They just copy/paste from yahoo and mercari

I found that they're usually the same sellers, but they tend to mark up their listings on Ebay somewhat. Much cheaper to buy though a proxy and have it shipped by comparison.

As for the white sorters, they all have yellowing in the area where the memory card holder comes into contact with the case. Seems like some sort of chemical reaction.

Rex is actually 1:30 something scale because thats what size figs fit in there. I remeber when i made my liquid figure. Not sure where 3a got the scale they were advertising.

Well, there's actually some scale discrepancy between the cockpit and the figure itself. I remember from the ThreeA forum, they said that they had to make REX's cockpit slightly larger, for balancing issues. I'm guessing that the cockpit is 1/30 and the rest of the figure is 1/48.

I don't know how that works really, because the figure looks almost prefect in proportion, when compared to Shinkawa's art work.

I was reading through this thread, and completely forgot about the quoted issues with ThreeA's REX. The cockpit is oversized compared to the rest of the figure to compensate for some balancing issues.

I think the half-scale REX would've been more accurate in proportions. Lots of good info buried in the annals of this thread.

Sadly my 1:48 Ray suffered from some serious GPS. Someday I'll try and fix it...
Maybe even give it a proper tail.

the half scale is fine, but it's been in the box forever.

Saw someone on FB got their BD Grey Fox already.
I hope F4F will announce 1/4 Gray Fox statue soon.

I have the original one too. I've pre-ordered the Final Battle Edition from Hobby-Genki. They add a very good discount. Way cheaper than mamegyorai or Gecco. Did this one came with a special background as well?
