Nope, but a cool idea. Every time I see that old NES cover that's what I think...Kyle Reese. What did you think of my custom Kara?

Hey guys, it's been years since I last posted a pic of my Medi Snakes collection, so here goes!
MediSnakes1.jpg


They were all made taller using custom leg extenders for better proportions. I also swapped the heads and I'm very pleased with the result!
I always thought it was silly of Medicom to have Snake wear the Zombie face camo with the red square uniform... Now I think it looks sweet on the Tiger Stripe uniform.

Oh and the regular head was repainted by Darren Carnall, he did a splendid job on that headsculpt :google

More pics will be posted soon ;)

bro that looks amazing.
I want zombie snake so bad.
I hope sideshow ships them soon.
 
sorry to interrupt, but i haven't had much luck finding the Medicom UDF figures for sale on here.
anybody got some they wanna get rid of? preferably the one in my sig?


lemme know.


SUB-QUESTION - are the old Konami 12" MGS figures worth owning?
 
I'll check my local stores, but they were pretty expensive last I saw ($25-$30 a piece)...

here you go man, $25 shipped (at least to canada)

well, my local TRU has some from that series, just not that one. they retail for $13 there now.
i was hoping i could snag him on here instead of driving to the next town or waiting for them to get another case in.

that auction has like 20 days left. but, if push comes to shove, i might cave and get it.
thanks for the heads-up though.

No.

From what I recall, they were quite crappy. Oversized heads, just generally out of proportion.

They were bad even at a time when the pinnacle of 12" were Sideshow's $50 Monty Python figures. And the only other 12" figures were Hasbro's 12 inchers which were on the decline and Dragon's military figures, which were around $80.

What I'm saying is, 8 years ago, when the market for 12" figures wasn't very good, the Konami figures were "teh sux0rz"

I remember seeing those when the game first came out in collectable stores. I never had any money back then but I wish I picked them up. Think of the resale value!
 
I originally ordered them throught xl toys and when I emailed them this week to find out when they would be released, they just refunded me and said they didn't know if they were coming out at all, and now here they are. But I preordered them again from the US so yeah it will be awhile.
