Haha, that's unexpected! Looks decent.

No the standard for decent is Ripley. This is better.

I can't see the pictures. Tapatalk is horrible. I was going to do drebin, but couldn't find the right parts to get started. He's kind of a hard figure to do.

I know what you mean. The toughest thing for me to match on Drebin was the coat. I searched like crazy and never found an accurate one. Just trying to match the material to make the second set of pockets on this one was a pain, and I had to settle for "close enough." And I still haven't come up with a way to add pinstripes to it. Outside of that, the rings were tough (most of those suckers are really elaborate) and the glasses were a bit of a challenge.

The funny thing is that Drebin would be one of the easiest figures for me to make a second version of since there's no actual hair to add on the head. I have enough extra costume parts, so I'm hoping to put one together to list on eBay. Hopefully there's someone else out there who would want a Drebin, doesn't want the challenge of making one, and would also be willing to settle for "close enough." It'd be nice to be able to fund the purchase of a few parts for future figures. This crap sure adds up in a hurry.

Yeah the coat isnt a match and the head is a little too big. Looks really good though, nice job.

Damn, truly astounding work.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

watch, weve been looking at his build the whole time.

 

[ajp4mgs]

Here's Little Gray to go with Drebin. The way I did this leaves virtually no articulation on the little guy (just at the wrists), but it's a trade-off for a more seamless look. At least he can hold different things. He's probably jonesin' for a cig right now.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Did you sculpt that entirely yourself? It's damn good.

 

[ajp4mgs]

Thank you. Yeah, I sculpted everything but the hands.

Thinking about selling my Liquid Snake figure. He had the Sean Dabbs head, custom pants, a Bruce Lee body, the Konami jacket and was painted by Xenoviper. I just wanted to see if anyone here is interested before I eBay it. I can post pics if anyone is interested.

I know he was sold on Ebay since I've seen at least a couple of them auctioned off before. Why are you selling it, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Dylan]

My original plan was to have the two main leads from every game in my shadow boxes but a MGS2 Raiden will likely never be made and it ruins the whole thing so I am just doing Snake from every game instead.

 

[RIDDICK]

I can relate.
I've sold/sellin' a lot of figures because I can't afford/buy-in-time new releases which ruins concepts I had in mind.

 

[Dylan]

It more just me having to come to terms with the fact that MGS2 and largely 4 as well (my two favorites) are never going to get the merch they deserve. It ruins most all my plans. I faced the same issue with Playarts because they didn't do MGS2 Snake.

The struggle is real brother.

No single line had ever tackled even half of Snakes appearances.

At least we got the MGS2 Snake out of one company..
